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 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 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: Chess Federation Suit Becomes Criminal Issue -- A dispute among board members of the United States Chess Federation that has prompted several lawsuits has now become a criminal matter. A member of the federation was arraigned Friday in Federal District Court in San Jose, Calif., and charged with identity theft and breaking into the e-mail account of a federation board member. According to the indictment, the accused, Gregory Alexander of Everett, Wash., accessed the e-mail account of the board secretary, Randall Hough, at least 34 times.

Kramnik Continues His Domination of Chess Meeting in Dortmund -- There may not be a home-field advantage in chess, but some players have triumphed at the same chess tournaments over and over. Garry Kasparov, the former world chess champion, has won the annual super tournament in Linares, Spain, nine times. Viswanathan Anand, the current world chess champion, has won the rapid chess tournament in Mainz, Germany, 11 times. He has also won the Magistral Ciudad de León in Spain seven times. And Bobby Fischer won all eight United States chess championships in which he competed. Those chess tournaments may have suited the champions’ styles. Anand has been among the best at rapid chess (where players have ... In Capablanca's Footsteps -- Can Hikaru Nakamura become the world chess champion in the next 10 years? Looking back into history, the answer is: Why not?

In 1911, the 22-year-old Jose Raul Capablanca of Cuba finished first in a field of the world's best chess players. Only the world chess champion Emanuel Lasker was missing. In 1921 Capablanca defeated Lasker in the world chess championship match in his native Havana. The U.S. chess champion Nakamura, 21, won the elite San Sebastian chess ...
