Posted by kansaspatzer ajaxwrite.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 ajaxwrite.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 ajaxwrite.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 ajaxwrite.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 ajaxwrite.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 ajaxwrite.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 ajaxwrite.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 ajaxwrite.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 ajaxwrite.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 fights to the top -- The chess battle of the moment is Magnus Carlsen's fight to equal and surpass the established trio of Vishy Anand, Vlad Kramnik and Veselin Topalov who have held the world chess crown since 2005 but are all 15-20 years older than the 18-year-old Norwegian. Carlsen is consistently in the top five in the chess rankings and is virtually sure of a place in the next world title candidates event in 2010 or 2011. This year, too, he scored significant individual victories against Anand at Linares and against Topalov on the Bulgarian's home patch. Kramnik has proved tougher and has a large overall plus against the teenager. So last week, when Carlsen led Kramnik by half a point ... Kramnik wins Dortmund, again -- ... Another former world chess champion, Anatoly Karpov of Russia, is painfully demonstrating that chess is a young man's game. Karpov, arguably the most successful chess grandmaster in history, suffered five losses and occupied last place at 1-6 with two games remaining in the 10-player round robin in Donostia, Spain. Karpov faces long odds in making a return to elite competition at age 58. The oldest chess players who compete regularly at that level are Boris Gelfand, 41, of Israel and Vassily Ivanchuk, 40, of Ukraine. In contrast, U.S. chess champion Hikaru Nakamura, 21, began with a fantastic 5 1/2 -1 1/2 . Nakamura lacks experience in international events, but this type of chess ... International chess news -- Hikaru Nakamura, the U.S. chess champion, and Ukraine chess star Ruslan Ponomariov tied for first in the grandmaster round robin in Donostia, Spain. Each scored 6 1/2 -2 1/2 , and Nakamura won a speed chess playoff to officially claim first prize. Nakamura, only 21, is already a legend for his skill at speed chess. In Donostia, he showed a mature style, winning most games after trading Queens. He plans to compete in two more elite chess tournaments this year. Karpov suffered almost certainly the worst performance in history by any of the all-time chess greats. ...
