Posted by kansaspatzer mailcafe.net 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 ccmcacollister mailcafe.net 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 mailcafe.net 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 mailcafe.net 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!

Zatonskih, the Defending Champion, Leads U.S. Women’s Chess Championship -- After five rounds, Anna Zatonskih, the reigning chess champion, has opened up a one point lead in defense of her title at the United States Women’s Chess Championship.

That gave Carlsen a score of 8 points out of a possible 10. Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, the world’s No. 1 chess player, was left far behind in second place with 5.5 points. Carlsen‘s performance pushed his world ranking to No. 2 and his rating, the system used to determine rankings, over 2800, at least according to an unofficial estimate.
