i got caught with this trap once.
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 e5 6.Ndb5 d6 7.Nd5 Nxd5 8.exd5 Ne7 9.c4 a6?? 10.Qa4!! Bd7?? 11.Nxd6#
the beauty of this variation is that after 9.a6 black is doomed his best defense is to give up the rook for the knight. 10...axb5 11.Qxa8 bxc4 12.Bxc4 and white is kicking butt OR 10...Kd7 11.Bd2 b6 12.Bb4 Nf5 13.Bd3 Ke7 14.Bxf4 Bxf4 15.Nxd6 Kf6 16.Nxf5 and white is up a pawn and has an excellent position see

the correct play is 9...Ng6

1) When posting your reply click the "Insert link to a game" link and enter the Game ID - in this case Game 2279848
2) When posting your reply surround the game id with the following code (without the spaces):
[ g i d ]2279848[ / g i d ] = Game 2279848
You can view examples of this by checking out the code in the "Previous Post" text box (shown below your "Post" box) when replying to a post which contains one of these links.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Also available are:
[ i ]italics[ / i ] = italics
[ b ]bold[ / b ] = bold
[ uid ]80775[ / uid ] = User 80775
[ threadid ]26440[ / threadid ] = Thread 26440 (shame [threadid]26440&page=28#post_859754[/threadid] doesnt work though)
and
[ fen ]rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/4P3/8/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKBNR[ / fen ] = but i'd leave this if you aint figured out the others yet.

I think it's a case of "sour grapes" that you ridicule caddy's game.

Originally posted by Sicilian Smaugsimple i was bored yesterdat and i decided to check this thread out hoping there were indeed some nice miniatures here. I just didn't have time to look through them all. I just find that relishing a game where your opp has mate in 1 and simply stops paying attention is the worst kind of chess. thats not to say many of the games were much better (i have such a game it bored me out of my skull and i certainly wouldn't post it I'd prefer to post a game i played well but lost.) although some(the minority) are pretty good.
I think Aginis needs to take a look at his attitude.
The thread asked for mate in under 20 moves, mates in less than under 20 moves require mistakes by the losing side. Why Aginis thought it right to ridicule Cadwah and noone else who posted here is anyone's guess but in doing so he has only made himself look the fool. Hopefully he'll post with better manners in the future or else resist posting at all.
