I believe it means it checked upto the 9th best move at 15th ply (half move)
(or upto the 15th best move at 9th ply

How many moves ahead did CM get, Greg?

With 10.Qb4 ( View Board ) CM8000 has now clearly shown its intention of creating an passed a-file pawn, with the attack focused on the queen-side of the board. Though white might have rushed it too much. Black now has several options open to defend but also has a nice counter attack with a combinat...

Nb4 and Bxg3 is the correct line

1... Nb4 2.Qd2 Bxg3 3.Qg5! Bxh4! followed by a queen exchange

I only just have this rssreader since your site is using it. But, yes, it does, but those are ones that also make use of the "lastbuilt" time (might apply, if it concerned daily mass new news items) and "guid" (with new timestamped pages) to ensure for proper date stamp. Those two shouldn't make tha...

I'm sorry Greg, I just don't know to much about this stuff :( The publication date shows fine, but my rss reader is still updating it as if its a new item.

How about this line: 3... Nh3 (giving away the knight, Black can still grab the bisshop) 4.gxh3 Qg6! (Activating the piece, pinning the queen with favourable positional exchange quality, see end) 5.Kg2 Bxe3 (seemingly giving away a minor piece, but ...) View Board 6.fxe5?? Rxb2+!! And the king can b...

tellymetwise

You've got that written out right Mike

With the 3.Be3 line I assume you meant Qg3? Qh3 is too obvious giving the queen away.

Your lines show clearly that black can manouvre the knights and bishop
to force white to choose between the loss of a minor piece or queen.

tellymetwise

Greg, one more question

Could you enter the following line below the <description>:
<pubDate>Mon, 25 Oct 2004 11:20:29 PST</pubDate>

And use the "last move" time as date, or something of the like?
I believe this might stop the newsfeeder from continuously warning me that a move has been made.

tellymetwise

Hello Greg,

You are right that white cannot recapture the knight with Qxe5.

How would you continue if white played the fork f4 immediatly?
1... Nxe5 2.f4 (View Board)

If I may:

5. Kg2 Nf4+ (6.Kg1 Ne2+ 6... Nxd4)(6.Kh- Qh6 and black can reduce pawn to not with f2 being weak)

tellymetwise

Not a bad move mluka.
Though, is it with the intention of playing Qxg6 or Qxc3?
1.Qd3 Nxc3

2.Qxc3 Nd5 3.Qb3 Nf4 4.Nh4
2.Qxg6 hxg6 3.exf6

<Inkt blotted>
if you want to give black a difficult time, you might keep his rooks at bay with:
1.Rfc1 Nxc3 2.Rxc3 Nd5 3.Qd3 Nxc3 4.Qxc3

</Inkt blotted>

tellymetwise

thats correct Greg. A Fork with the Queen and King is killing white.
1.Rfc1 Nf4 2.Qf1

Though Rfc1 is still a loosing move, I found the position to nice to bypass.

tellymetwise

Sorry Mike, I forgot I also added the white bishop on a4 at the latest moment, to show a somewhat "equal" game on the piece count.

tellymetwise

Well done angel.

if you are interrested, there is also a way to capture the queen or a rook, as a diversion for those thinking the hard way

You are right Mike. View Board Bd5 now covers also e5. Now Black has to avoid white's Nh5 or loose the queen. Either Nh4 (Nxh4 Qxh4) or Qf6 are good responses to this. Though white has an overloaded piece now. After Bxb7 Rab8 Bxa6, black will use this weakness by playing exd4. The end result will be...

Hey Greg,

f6 is indeed the final touch, though you can combine your first set of moves with f6.

For those interrested:
white's last move in 30a was probably to capture blacks bishop.
- Except for the pin on the pawn, what does also bins that move?
- And which move was better for white?

tellymetwise

You've got that right Keith.

White's Knight on d4 is thrice attacked and twice defended.
(Black just had played Nf6xp)
Simply moving the queen out of harms way, or capturing the knight does not do.

Juselton, I can't really figure out where you want to lead this thread to.
Do you want chess engines allowed at slowchess or do you want to write to chessbase, and others, that you want chess engines banned from earth?

Both would seem to give you that peaceful sleep.

Nxg6 is indeed the correct move Ghorn :) you might expect something like: 1. Nxg6 Nxg6 2.Bxf7+ Kh8 3.Bxe8 Nh4+ 4.Kh3 Qh6 etc. Whatever follows, black's king is exposed in the corner and black has a large enough material disadventage to just give up. Steve, Black does indeed prevent e5 with 0-0-0, bu...

tellymetwise

2.Ne6?? Nf5!

Ghorn's moves were correct upto Nd5, with discovered check, leading to Nc7 forking both rooks. But ... black would protect with Nc6 making the exchange come at a price.

White has a better first move instead of a (well found) fork setup.

tellymetwise

You've got 29a right Greg. Black has to play defensive against white's e5.
This actualy also threatens to pin the queen to the king, if black would for example play g5.

puzzle 29b has a better move for white.
