I agree. 8. Kd1 based on all of the analysis given earlier.
I also stick with Kd1, but for the purposes of this thread it’s worth pointing that for every new position, we should make an attempt to take a fresh look and not be too dominated by earlier analysis. I, for one, find this difficult to do. The lazy side of me just wants to play what I considered previously. I know Kotov mentions this factor in ‘Think Like a Grandmaster’.
I’m not suggesting we reproduce the same analysis on every move. Instead, it’s just a point about how we make use of what has gone before. If we say “checked... sticking with previous analysis”, fair enough.
I find that “taking a fresh look” is harder for CC games than OTB games, probably because for CC I sometimes write down variations.

Originally posted by VarenkaYou make a valid point, but we looked at Qd7+ pretty thoroughly, and frankly I thought it would be a waste of my energy to give it too hard a look again. Of course, it is entirely possible that we were wrong about how bad Qd7+ actually was.

Qe7+ was weak. Na5 was a better move.
Kd1 seems obvious.
Unless I'm missing something, white only has 5 moves and only three, Kd1, Kf1, and Be2 aren't immediatley disastrous.
Blacks next move is probably either Nf4 Be6, or Bg4.
At this point, it might be more fun to speculate on the players involved.
Fischer and his sister?

Originally posted by Mephisto2Yep, I've had a good look here and can't see any other viable option for black. This is an interesting games because I would always try to maintain castling rights and wouldn't have played Kd1 previously, but it looks pretty sound and gives White some initiative.
8. ... Nf4 looks like the only move that doesn't lose for black.
This is a great thread idea Fabian, especially on a Friday when I don't want to work. Read all 14 or so pages this morning, alas it is at an end, might have to start doing what I'm paid for now 😞

The game might take a while to finish but every move is well analyzed and is a source of experiances from many players.
I'm just presenting the game, one move a day, all of you are doing the good work!

Nf4 looks like a better square than Nf6.
I'm almost certain I have seen this before.
Bobby Fischer vs. Joan Fischer?
I'm betting Nf4 d5: with a deflection sacrifice coming at f7 fairly soon. See my earlier, flawed analysis.

9.Re1 or 9.d4 ? I gofor 9.d4 as it develops more. Even though the king gets somewhat in the open. That is black's trump now, since he is not better developed anymore.
I'm betting he doesn't .
d4 is a powerful move. I'm betting White plays Nc3. He's setting a trap.
At this point, White is toying with Black. Black is a novice. White is a young future superstar. Fischer v. Fischer? Can anybody find that game and tell me if I'm right.
Game may continue:
Nc3 Nxg2?
Rg1 Nf4
d4 Nh5?
Nb5 (I know Re1 is crushing.)
The game was lost earlier when Black didn't play Na5.
