It is always fortunate to be criticized this way. It has the psychological
effect to undermine the position of those who are on Chris' side, but are at
least trying to make some sense.

P.S. To Chris (boring for 99% of the netters, don't read unless you agree
with Chris):
If you want to argue with a statement, it's not a good idea to delete it
and replace with "[silly explanation deleted]". Makes YOU look silly.

Also, it makes you look very silly to blabber about somebody's "logic
circuits" and immediately follow up with a non-sequitur. Your logic circuits
might double-check whether the funniness of the joke was an issue.

The problem I've found with the recent Dutch monographs is that they
are incomplete.  

Specifically, I am interested in the following lines:

a)  1.  d4  f5  2.  Nc3  d5  3. e4  fxe4   4. Bf4.

Now, there have been many recent games in the USA with this continuation.
Yet the books, if they cover this at all, stop at Benjamin-Malaniuk,
Moscow, 1987.  There are also aries-scratchy games, as appeared in
_Chess Chow_!  Other examples:  Ginsburg-Fishbein, NY 1990, W. Shipman-
D. Gurevich, US Open 1990.

b)  1.  d4  f5  2. Nf3  e6  3.  e4!?  fxe4  4. Ng5

This is the Sjodin Gambit.

We have Benjamin-Machulsky, NY Open 1991, and Ginsburg-Young, Mass.
1990.

(see Joel's Chess Life article - "Theoretically Speaking."

c)  In the Leningrad, the sequence

1. d4 f5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. g3 g6 4. Bg2 Bg7 5. c4 d6 6. Nc3 O-O 7. O-O Qe8
8. Nd5!? N:d5 9. cd Qb5 10. e4!?

as I tried vs. GM Bareev, Naestved 1988, is grossly incomplete or missing
in the monographs.

See the aries-scratchy games as appeared in two recent _Chow_ issues for
the exciting developments.

Stephen,

SK> Some time ago I was totally anihilated in a game where my opponent used
SK> a Latvian opening. Could someone provide me with a little information
SK> on this opening (the most common line or lines, obvious strengths and
SK> weaknesses).

I just happened to play a game as White against the Latvian the other
day, by a user on ICS called (coincidentally enough) "Latvian".  It
is also known as the Greco Counter Gambit, and is characterized by
1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 f4!

According to my copy of Horowitz' "Chess Openings - Theory and Practice",

        "Black's early attempt to seize the initiative is
         reckless, but not easily refutable.  With best play,
         though, White can stem Black's intentions on the one
         hand, and obtain a clear positional edge on the other."

Horowitz gives this continuation of the main line:

3 NxP Q-B3 4 P-Q4 P-Q3 (...PxP? 5 B-QB4!) 5 N-B4 PxP 6 N-B3 Q-N3
7 N-K3 N-KB3 8 Kn-Q5 NxN 9 NxN Q-B2 10 B-Qb4 P-B3 11 N-K3 P-Q4
12 B-N3 B-K3 13 O-O B-Q3 14 P-KB4 +/-

Sorry about the mixed notation, but Horowitz is in classical.  It seems
that the main advantage of the opening is its obscurity.

For your amusement, I also offer my recent (and only) game against
the Latvian:

This book is out now, I thumbed through a copy in Waterstone's last week.
Basically John Nunn has gone through an entire R v R+P database using
his skill to extract the "meaningful" information and publish it. There's
also copious amounts on other rook endings. 

He also claims that (apart from typographical errors) there are no errors
in moves because they were generated directly by the software. He 
illustrates over 200 positions of mutual zugzwang in R v R+P and tries
to explain what's going on. 

This book looks frighteningly impressive. I don't know how useful it would be
to average/weak players but it must improve your rook ending ability by
several orders of magnitude if you work through it.

In Line (a),

it is

1. d4 f5 2. Nc3 d5 3. e4 dxe4 4. Bf4.

The typo said 3...fxe4 which of course is horrible for black.

Please substitute the correct and forced move, 3...dxe4.

For those of you who are deriding Fischer's play in his recent rematch
with Spassky, let me present a sample of "World Championship" caliber
play from the 1978 Karpov-Kortchnoi match. In game 5, after 54 moves,
the following position was reached with white to move.

    ---------------------------------
    |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
    ---------------------------------

    In the game, Kortchnoi played 55. Be4? which according to Keene made
many *amateurs* in the crowd gasp. White mates rather obviously with
55. Bf7+.  Note that this was the second day of play, after an
adjournment.
    It is interesting to note the following facts about the recent F-S
match:  1. This was the strongest chess match played for 5 million
dollars :-).  2. Each game was worth $166,666.67.  3. Each move was worth
$3,639.01.
    Most GMs haven't made $3,639.01 in a whole event!  I wonder if pressure
may have caused some mistakes??

come now.  i'll agree with the first sentence, but not the second.
three reasons why:

    1) the best evaluation i've seen of fischer's current skill
       level is "best in the world."  the worst i've seen was
       "weak international master."  whether either of these is
       correct, or something in between (which is my guess), it
       is pretty clear that fischer is good.  "weak international
       master" may seem like an insult to you gm types, but to
       people like me it says, "don't even think of winning against
       this guy."  so if, after twenty years of not playing, he
       can suddenly come back and play AT LEAST at the level
       of an international master, even though he's extremely
       messed up in the head, why can't he play better with
       practice?

    2) there has been a long history of great chess players who
       were very screwed up people.

    3) one such person who meets the qualifications of #2 was
       the pre-retirement bobby fischer.  don't even try to tell
       me you don't think bobby wasn't off his rocker 20 years ago.

there have been debates on why so many great chess players are loony,
man.  now you come claiming that since bobby's loony, he can't be great.

give me a break.

remember people, just because a grandmaster said it, doesn't mean he

to the Amiga, called UChess.  In 10 games vs Checkmate, my
program has a record of 9 wins 0 losses and 1 draw.  It
defeated Grandmaster Chess on a 386/20 PC in a 10 game series
with a record of 6-0-4.  Finally my Amiga 4000 can play
decent Chess!  I will probably release this as Freeware,
but I need Beta Testers to try it out for me, IT IS NON
DISTRIBUTABLE IN ITS CURRENT FORM!!!!!  If you want to
beta test this pgm, YOU CANNOT REDISTRIBUTE IT IN ANY WAY.
I need to change graphics and clean it up a bit before
that.  Program Requirements and features:

1) REQUIRES A 68020 or BETTER PROCESSOR
2) REQUIRES AmigaDOS 2.04 (v37) or HIGHER
3) Requires 4M of RAM or more (really needs 3M of FAST for decent performance)
4) Auto detects & Supports 640X480X256 color AGA mode on A1200 or 
   A4000, defaults to 640X400X16 interlaced mode on other machines.
   Use of 256 color display requires a multi-sync or VGA monitor,
   and the correct monitor type in your devs:monitors directory.
   It is referred to as VGA_PRODUCTIVITY mode, 8 bits deep.
5) DOES NOT Busy wait, unlike CheckMate, this program does
   not busy wait and uses 0 CPU time if it is not thinking.
6) With Checkmate set for 20 seconds per move, my pgm set
   for 60 moves in 20 mins, Checkmate set to Strong, Tournament
   timing, both programs have thinking during opponents move
   disabled, both programs running on the same machine,
   Uchess defeated Checkmate 9 out of 10 times.
7) Enforcer clean, no memory holes.

email if you want to Beta Test it AND AGREE NOT TO DISTRIBUTE
THE CODE OR MATERIALS IN ANY WAY.
