Hi Yelena, thank you for your introduction to your discussion forum. I want to finish reading your book now, in order to can also discuss here. Your book is...
Hi Frank, Welcome! I am very glad you like it! I am going to post some not related to the book stuff:) Hope everyone likes it too! Best wishes, Yelena...
Hi Yelena, Firstly I'd like to congratulate on your wondeful performance in this tourney. about the game, splendid positional game! Why I liked this game... ...
Hello Yelena! Thanks for stopping by on my forum! As you see, I have subscribed now to this yahoo-page, so perhaps I'll jump into the discussions every now and...
Hi, Thank you very much for your good words and questions! I will answer then one by one: 1. When I played Rae8 I didnt have e5 in mind. In general e5 weakens ...
Hi all! First of all, I want to introduce myself. I am 34 years old, live in germany (munich), work as a mathematician and I take chess lessons by Yelena via...
Hi Frank, I am sure that exd6 is much better than f4 at least because both are known to be good for white but exd6 has only 2 main lines and f4 has plenty! So...
The long series of examples was very good, even if "endless." However, the main effect on me has been to return to my childhood in Chess and dwell on 1. e4 e5...
Dear Sam! I am very glad to see some a nice message! And to see a person who can change the repertoire or seeing games from 1.d4 to 1.e4 after reading my book...
I always wonder what happens if white/black plays P-Q4 and then P-Q5. It seems like it should be good as it hinders the opponents QN, but it isn't often...
Hello! This is indeed interesting but not so good as Black can usually undermine white's center quite quickly! For example, 1.d4 Nf6 2.d5 e6 in this case Black...
Just to continue your lines. After 1.d4 Nf6 2.d5 e6 3.dxe6 Black has two choices - either 3...dxe6 4.Qxd8+ Kxd8 which seems good for white. Or 3...fxe6, where ...
Well, of course there is no point for Black to exchange the queens so early, so instead he should opt for fxe6 with attacking chances. Same with white's fxe3! ...
Hi all, I have a nice endgame, for analysing, who wants: white : P a2, b3, c2, e4, f5 B d3 K f3 black : P a7, b7, f7, h7 R d4 K f6 Black to move (and wants to...
Hi all, Thank you Frank for submitting this interesting endgame but I believe it should be quite easily won for Black! For example, 1...Ke5 is the best I am...
Hallo Yelena, thank you for your answer. Yes propably 1. ... Ke5 is better. Now my anlalysis continues with 2. Kg4 (if 2. Ke3 then 2. ...h5 and win) 2. ......
Hallo, Here is the game notation to our endgame, its a very interesting correspondence chess game. [Event "?"] [Site "?"] [Date "2005.07.06"] [Round "?"] ...
Thanks for taking the time to answer my uneducated questions. It's really nice being able to ask a player who understands things. Sorry, I'm just still...
Hello Frank, Welcome! I agree that both K moves are losing and I think that after 1...Ke5 2.a4 after 2...a5 white pawns cant be advanced so white K will have ...
Welcome! I think after 5...dxe3 the best for white is to sac a pawn - 6.Bb5 in order to threaten Ne5 and after 6...exd2 7.Nxd2 white has a huge development...
I start reading today and after 12 hours still read it and enjoy it. I have some good chess books, but this is one of the best i ever had.Maybe was for me the...
Hello Andreas! I am very glad you like the book! It is really possible to learn much from this book. I havent read or hear many things about which I write ...
Hi all, wow nice to see so many people in this group already :) Hi Yelena, thx for your answers :) I was playing on playchess and faced nearly 10 games where...
Hi deep:) Welcome but more are to come:)) It is the Torre but can be London or Colle too:) So, when they play Bf4 one of the best set-ups is with Nf6, g6, Bg7 ...
Thank you for the message deep! Of course, the set up you udes is not bad at all but it is less active than Qe8 and e5 idea. You counter his ideas in the...
Dear chessfriends, I have in correspondence chess an interesting position, I play with black and ask you for your oppionion about it. Here is the situation up...
