hfrcan jouwe vs Ulysses72 (2009 championship rnd 2 Grp 1)

i myself on researching the position do not think that my friend Ulysses72 made the best continuation, for after 17...fxe6, 18.Nxe6 Bxe6 19.dxe6 looks very pleasant for white. hey but i am 1600 rated super grandpatzer and my friend Ulysess is 2100+ rated player, regardless any thoughts are appreciated.
Originally posted by Fat Ladyyep this is true, it came to me last night as i was lying in bed, i actually got up to change it, but it was too late by then. the line that i should have given was, 17...fxe6 18.Qh5 Bf6, 19.Nxe6 Bxe6, 20.dxe6 with a pleasant advantage for white - good to see you were paying attention Fat One.

21.Rhf1 looks wrong. White has more space and is a pawn down - he should be trying to keep pieces on, not swap them off. I'd be looking very hard at Bxg6, but probably settle for Rhg1 if that didn't work.
Originally posted by Fat Ladyyes Bxg6 looks very strong!

Originally posted by greenpawn34i cannot believe this, even the name Najdorf Sicilian has struck fear into the hearts of of honest gambiteers and 1.e4 players, since its inception! people have been known to play , ahem....1.d4 to avoid it!
Can anyone help me find this game?

dedicated a whole book too. I've misplaced it.[/b]

Originally posted by robbie carrobieI have to say, it does look dodgy for Black.
anyone? who thinks that the pawn can be taken, safely?
Originally posted by Fat Ladythankyou very much Fat lady, your analysis is most welcome and presented in a way that i can almost grasp in its entirety. Contrary to all expectations, the free version of Rybka thinks that the position is quite even and gives 14...0-0 a score of utter equality, the weakest move being 14...Nc5, Silmans move, other possibilities being the other main line move 14...e5. in the game at hand, almost all databases i could find suggested that even after 14.Kb1 0-0, 15.fxe6 Nb6 16.Nd5 Nxd5 17.exd5 fxe6 18.Qh5 e5 19.Qxg5 exd4 20.Bd3 g6 is still only a minuscule advantage for white.

Unless Black intends to blow White out of the water within the next dozen moves or so, he has to find somewhere safe for his king.
The centre is a possibility, but only if he can avoid opening up the e or f-files. Can Black get away with playing e5? It looks very suspect, what with the backward pawn on d6 a ...[text shortened]... us than a pawn on g5, threatening to come to g6 and opening up Black's defences over there.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieThat's a handy game! I play both sides of that. I am never sure how to attack as White but I see a lot of new ideas there.
