Posted by kansaspatzer legalserv.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 legalserv.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 legalserv.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 legalserv.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 :)

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 legalserv.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 legalserv.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 legalserv.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 legalserv.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: World No1 Magnus Carlsen parts company with mentor Garry Kasparov -- The most significant chess news this month is a negative item. A carefully scripted and bland press release announced that the world No1, Magnus Carlsen, would make his own chess career decisions for 2010 and that he and the all-time No1, Garry Kasparov, would cease their regular training sessions launched early last year. The statement claimed that, with 19-year‑old Carlsen established at the world top, his cooperation with Kasparov had achieved its objectives ahead of schedule and that the Norwegian no longer needed constant guidance. Carlsen won his last two chess tournaments in London and Corus Wijk but displayed weaknesses and is as yet far from ... Chess Grandmasters are getting younger -- Richard Rapport of Hungary just completed the requirements to become a chess grandmaster at age 13 years, 11 months, 15 days, the fifth-youngest ever. A thrilling accomplishment, no doubt. But chess fans have grown numb to the exploits of adolescent wonders. The inimitable Bobby Fischer stunned the world by becoming a grandmaster in 1958 at age 15 years, 6 months, a record that lasted until 1991. In the last two decades, though, 23 chess players have surpassed Fischer's mark. Sergey Karjakin, the Ukraine star who now plays for Russia, holds the current record at 12 years, 7 months. The World Chess Federation's March rating list includes ... The f-pawn, part 5: is this a good position to push forward? -- It it time for black to use his f-pawn as a battering ram? We saw last week that advancing the f-pawn can leave you horribly exposed at the back if the attack stalls. Here Black has removed the knight from f6, clearing the way for the battering ram. Is it wise to advance the pawn to f5? RB When playing against 1 d4 I will often go for a Nimzo-Indian (as in the present chess game) or King's Indian. I have a liking for the kind of kingside attack that can arise – with certain key differences obviously – from both defences. With the centre safely closed, Black has ...
