Posted by kansaspatzer nsa-hitachi.com 6/12/2008 13:48:07 Play online chess	Subject: The X-Rated Albin Counter-Gambit Message: This article by Andrew Martin, which Martin admits himself is propaganda in favor of the opening, inspired me to buy Martin's DVD on the opening. I know it's probably not sound, but it really is a fun opening. And it was used successfully by no lesser of a player than Lasker. www.jeremysilman.com
Posted by lapsekili nsa-hitachi.com 6/14/2008 07:46:05 Play online chess	thanks Message: really interesting opening even though some moves look funny but then you understand they have a purpose.
Posted by sf115 nsa-hitachi.com 6/14/2008 14:48:56 Play online chess	Message: After 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e5 what does black do if white doesn't play dxe5.?
Posted by ccmcacollister nsa-hitachi.com 6/14/2008 15:29:15 Play online chess	sf115 Message: Probably equalize on move 3, since bl has been permitted to play a move he should not have been able to get in without penalty... I love the Albin on both sides. It just feels like one of those openings one could spend a lifetime playing and studying and never lose interest :)
Posted by ionadowman nsa-hitachi.com 6/14/2008 16:38:05 Play online chess	A very pawnographic debut... Message: ... I can think of worse ways of getting your jollies! I never knew the line was so replete with possibilities. Must try it some time... Cheers, Ion

Message: Take it for granted that a bad word has been said which does not show up on the screen.... for I saw a real interesting Albin annotation and been awhile, Ive forgotten exactly where. I think it was on Silman's site. Anyone been to it?
Posted by bogg nsa-hitachi.com 10/15/2008 02:20:50 Play online chess	It can't be all that bad. Message: Morozevich has been winning with the Albin. CTC (Bogg)
Posted by ccmcacollister nsa-hitachi.com 10/15/2008 04:20:45 Play online chess	and .... Message: Morozevich IS my Hero~! I think probably the highest rated player I have seen be as adventurously innovative & into new ideas that can be really far out ...but they generally work out, tho maybe walking a fine line. Perhaps its just that on one else understands or expects them~? For eg getting hit with an Albin Counter-gambit. But really looking back, even Max Euwe, despite his win against it, can't say it didnt give him a thinking game. Thanks bogg, I'll have to look at some of those Moro's!
Posted by schnarre nsa-hitachi.com 10/28/2008 01:43:11 Play online chess	if not dxe5 Message: then Black has a number of options: if 3. Nc3 then ...exd4, 4. Qxd4 Nc6, 5. Qxd5 Be6! leaves Black in good stead. Another option for Black is ...Nc6, clamping down on the central squares.
Posted by jstevens1 nsa-hitachi.com 10/28/2008 14:16:41 Play online chess	I have an Albin Game for you all! Message: Hi everyone, just to let you know that I have publicly annotated a draw game between me and a buddy called rjacobs. That one started as an Albin. Cheers. Joanne
Chess news: Magnus Carlsen: King Among Chess Kings -- Imagine Usain Bolt, the fabulous Jamaican sprinter and world record-holder, running a 100 meter dash against some of the world's best contenders and winning by 20 meters. This is how the Norwegian chess superstar Magnus Carlsen dealt with the opposition at the elite Kings tournament in Medias, Romania, last week. Undefeated, with five wins and five draws, Carlsen left his nearest rivals two full points behind, scoring 7,5 points in 10 games. It was an amazing display of chess dominance. Carlsen, 19, is the world's top-rated chess player and his new rating is projected at 2826, some 23 points above the second-placed Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria. Nobody, except Garry Kasparov, ever ... Two Weeks in Philadelphia -- For some chess players, July 4th is more than a holiday, it is the time of year for the World Open, which has been held in Philadelphia, or the surrounding area, every year since 1983. The World Open, which is run by the Continental Chess Association, is usually the largest chess tournament of the year, mostly because it has the biggest prize fund. This year’s is guaranteed to be $175,000 and could be as much as $250,000, depending on how many people play. That is less than in some previous years (the record was $358,000 in 2006), but the economic downturn has probably had an impact. Every year, more than 1,000 chess players compete; last year there were 1,350. The tournament lasts ... A chess lesson from the late Vasily Smyslov -- How did the great Russian grandmaster win this game? Vasily Smyslov, the former world chess champion who died in March, was often described as a master of the endgame and brilliant positional player, but great chess players are able to change their style according to the demands of the position. I've been going through his games and found strategic masterpieces but also blistering attacking play. Earlier in this game he sacrificed a piece to activate his forces and followed up by advancing his h-pawn – one of my favourite attacking methods. But it takes skill to finish the game. RB This may be a very famous chess position but it's not one that I ever remember seeing and ...
