Hello. In this section, I will bring to you interesting articles written by my close-to-A ranked friends. The first one is from an online friend found at theMSN Gaming Zoneunder the name Aias_Telamonios.

Murphy vs. Duke of Brunswick & Comte Issuer de Vauvenargue (co-operation) Paris, 1858, Philidor’s Defence 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6 3.d4 Bg4 4.dxe5 Bxf3? The best-recommended move for black was 4…Nd7 in order to go for a (forced) gambit. 5. Qxf3 dxe5 6. Bc4 Nf6 7. Qb3 Qe7 8. Nc3 If 8. Qxb7, then black would have be enforced into a lost finale with 8…Qb4+ 8…c6 9. Bg5 b5 10. Nxb5! cxb5 The genteel amateurs accept every kind of offer, but if 10…Qb4+ 11.Qxb4 Bxb4+ 12.c3! white wins. 11. Bxb5+ Nd7 12. o-o-o Rd8 13. Rxd7 Rxd7 14. Rd1 Qe6 15. Bxd7+ Nxd7 16. Qb8+! Nxb8 17. Rd8 black checkmated. The final position represents the fulfillment of every chess player’s desire. Is there anyone who has not dreamt of checkmating by having only two pieces on the board while the opponent has all of them available, but -yet- unable to help their King? Aias_Telamonios
