Is the game with Weyer as white, the english, is that still in book, where black gives away the pawn like that? What does black gain with that move? Won't white be up a pawn forever now? Just on the surface it looks like white gets the pawn plus a tempo because the black knight is under attack so that has to be responded to, like maybe withdrawing the bishop which would just be wasting the B move. What does book say black should respond here? I guess you can PM me if you are worried the players could read the response.
Looking in Nunn's openings, I don't see anything like this opening in the English even in transposition. There are no Q-b3 moves anywhere on that page.

Originally posted by sonhouseI don't want to comment too much on a game in progress, but it is similar to some positions in one of my english books that the auther claims many famous players have avoid winning the b-pawn because of the potential complications. It's not quite the same position, but it has many of the same elements.

Basically, what black gets, is he gets 2 moves as the queen has to capture, than move back, (in chess 3 moves is equivalent to one pawn in open positions), plus he gets an open file. Both of those elements, creates imbalances, and dynamic play insues. Its talked about alot in Jeremy Silmans HTRYC and The Amateurs Mind
Originally posted by HomerJSimpsonI actually believe Weyerstrass had they advantage over Akizy. It seems to me that Weyerstrass plays on a semi-professional level, therefore having a different view and experience than Akizy. I'm not suprised if it ends up 1.5-0
Sorry if this has been posted. Go Weyerstrass!
Curious games. This one is finished.
Game 2423887
39. Ne4 is equivalent to a draw offer.
From move 39, I'm curious if white can facilitate movement of the e pawn and/or bring the King over to the Qside and threaten the b-pawn.
39. Kf4 is compelled if white is to make progress (i.e. g5 Rh4 cuts off the King). And if 39. e4 h5 gh gh; if Kf4 Rh3 allowing a trade of R's after Re3 h4.
Analysis after 39.Kf4 would be very interesting.
