Why is this better than 12. Qd2 and how does it help White against the standard plan of Bb7, d5, 0-0-0 etc.?
For example: 12... Bb7 13. Bd3 d5 14. 0-0-0 Qb6 15. f3 0-0-0 and taking the f-pawn gets White into all kinds of trouble. Black has at least an equal position.

On Chess: Fischer's reputation as egomaniac unfair — In his account of the 1992 rematch between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky, Yasser Seirawan offered his opinion - after spending hours with Fischer - that 60 percent of what he had read about him was wrong. Indeed, despite his often grievous negatives, there was another Fischer whom many of us experienced and admired. He could be kind and appreciative of others in many contexts. In a 1969 column that he wrote for Boys' Life magazine, Fischer praised U.S. junior chess champion Ken Rogoff and added: "It should encourage each of you who read this column to know that by applying yourself, as Ken did, you can become a fine chess player in a relatively short time." When the father of ...

I don't think 12 Qh5 makes much sense. Why relinquish pressure on the all-important d5 square? Fwiw, I also think this is a pointless exercise, as openings tend to go in and out of fashion through the years like women's clothing!

Aronian Wins the Last Amber Chess Tourney — Levon Aronian won the Amber chess tournament in Monaco this month. He will be known as the last winner. After twenty years, the combined blindfold and rapid chess event, featuring the world's top players, comes to a halt. Named after his daughter Melody Amber, the Dutch sponsor Joop van Oosterom, created a dream tournament for the world's best grandmasters, allowing them to have fun and be well paid for it. This year's prize fund was 227,000 euro (aprox. US $317,000). Last year's co-winner, Vassily Ivanchuk, went as far as calling it " the greatest tournament." It was a perfect chess event to watch: a nice mixture of different creative efforts from brilliant and funny ...

Magnus Carlsen continues chequered form with Vasily Ivanchuk defeat — This week's Amber blindfold and rapid invitational in Monaco had a massive €227,000 (£199,000) prize fund and was the last in a 20-year-series financed by the Dutch computer billionaire Joop van Oosterom. The top eight in the world chess rankings all took part, and despite its artificial conditions, Monaco is a real test of strength for the chess elite. Magnus Carlsen had declared in a pre-tournament interview that he would restore the dominance he has spoilt with uneven results over the past year. The Norwegian, 20, took an early lead until in round five, in a bizarre repeat of Amber 2010, he was crushed by Vasily Ivanchuk in both games. In the rapid game he actually got checkmated, but the damage was ...
