Just to cheer up the actual chess content of chess.misc here is an
encounter with a strong player which I offer in parts- the interesting
thing is that I received a criticism of a book review by someone
seeming to me to be over-impressed by gambits - I offered this game as
counter-idea of what to do about them:
[Event "www.ChessWorld.net server game"]
[Site "www.ChessWorld.net "]
[Date "2008.10.29 "]
[White "The Parrot"]
[Black "jaghund"]
[Result "1-0"]
[WhiteElo "2194"]
[BlackElo "2227"]
1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 f5 [oh oh! A gambit offer]
3. Nxe5 Qf6
4. d4 d6
5. Nc4 fxe4
6. Nc3 Qg6 [and the Parrot is out of the book, in fact, I haven=92t
faced this defense in 100 years.]
7. f3 [is this good? What other options are there? Besides, it
threatens to win a pawn or =91develop=92 my queen=92 if captured. ]
7. =85exf3
8. Qxf3 Nf6
9. Bd3 Qg4
10. d5
Should I really have done that? My idea was to restrict black=92s
development, but are there things here known to you all, and
especially my opponent since 1895, but not me? And don=92t I get open
files for the rooks?

And the finish was like this:
28. Rg3 c5
29. dxc6 bxc6 [black undoubles his pawns, and if only he can get those
bishops working=85]
30. Rd3 [I have 2 =91straight=92bishops, and need to find =91straight
diagonals=92 for them]
30. =85 Be6
31. Rd6 c5
32. Bc3 [that nails it, black must lose at least one pawn]
32. =85 Ke7
33. Rxb6 g4 [how black must want to check with the dark-squared bishop
at g5, then play Bf4]
34. Rb7+ Bd7 [black=92s most active piece, the poor king, is completely
overloaded.]
35. Rxd7+ Kxd7
36. Rxf6 Rg5 and black resigned with the move.
And the moral of the story is; opening principles were superior to
practiced lines in this instance. Gambit offers need to be fair
exchanges rather than gambles.
And having lost 60 correspondence points recently from not playing in
time, the final principal is cosmic validation! At least until the
next result =96 in our other game, with White the same opponent has a
lot of pressure against my cramped position=85

To continue the game
10. =85 Qxf3
11. gxf3 Nd7
12. Bf4 Be7
13. O-O-O Nb6 [black is playing confidently and I am still vaguely
paranoid that there is something I am really missing=85 you know that
feeling?]
14. Nxb6 axb6
15. Rhg1 Kf7
16. a3 Bd7
17. Ne4 [not worth a special diagram, but how otherwise to proceed is
the question?]
17. =85Nxe4
18. fxe4 [Master Tip: played on the principal that one should never
neglect the opportunity to create a backward and unsupported pawn on a
half open file for opponent, simultaneously blocking your own bishop.]
17. =85Bf6
19. Rdf1 Rhe8 [the wrong rook?]
20. Bd2 Rhg8
21. Bc3 Ke7
22. e5 [unlocks the tension, and the bishop]
23. =85dxe5
23. Bb4+ Kf7
24. Bxh7 g5 [my opponent is sick of defense, and wants to try an
endgame with the 2 bishops on an open board and a passed d pawn,
besides Bg6+ is ugly for black.]
25. Bxg8 Rxg8
26. Bc3 Ke7
27. Bb4 [attempting to snatch defeat from the jaws of Victory, white
sobers up, and keeps the king away from the pawn, while maintaining
the pin]
27. =85Kf7
Now - maybe Fritz can refute my play or suggest something other to
opponent than an exchanbe sac...?
But played at correspondence speed [10 days] my opponent doesn't do
that [if Fritz differs] therefore is honorable to play...
