Yeah Mr. Akuni, one or two comments :)

First, you must be exhausted :( - I remember the people, Akuni have commented many games! - and quality of analysis, really wonderful yet, is getting to fail. Is only my view (I'm a master too), and is normal, your efforts seems to me very grateful.

So, next comments are only any variations wich I think is not correct for help to people who have played these games. ONLY THIS! :) Others moves are very well explained - in moves and concepts, I believe -.

1) In 3.d4 variation your memory have "failed".. xD

Correct move (as you 100% know!) is 10.Bxf6 Bxf6 and only here 11.c3 with the idea Nc2-(e3), a4...

If not black can move 9... Nxd5.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2) 7.d5 (!) Cce7 8.a4! with the idea Bc4, as Akuni commented, I think is met by 8... exd5 (before bishop goes to c4) and if 9.Nxd5 Nxd5 10.Qxd5 then 10... Nf6:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3) 18.Nd7 and following moves is not completely correct because you're not winning a quality (rook is double-defended on d8). Because of this is not possible here 20.Nf6+ :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's all, congratulations for Akuni and best regards for all!

You're right about the first and last one of course, my mistakes. BUt as to the second one, if Black had played exd5 then White plays exd5 with a fantastic position.

Of course, Akuni. Nxd5 is bad, was only for to see if was possible following with your idea with Bc4.

Thank you for doing this;

Thanks for the analysis! I missed that knight fork completely! That is one of my worst problems, along with backward diagonals.

Sorry for the delay recently, I've been studying for exams, anyway here's Kerplow's game.

Besides, the accelerated dragon is great.

Paul, I actually don't think the author of this thread was targetting players of your grade. I think you were a little bit presumptious and posted a very long comment without understanding the facts behind the initial post which demonstrates to me that you wern't actually interested in the initial post a great deal.

 In my post #20, I candidely admitted having missed the point of the initial post.

And certainly want to wish the best to anyone that wants to help the chess community to improve.

I am also helping out a few players here on this site.

I do have a very strong, competitive attitude and this at times reflects in my improper posts.

I sincerely apologize for my inapropriate response.

Paul

um, bs_liyan, something else has gone wrong, but I managed to copy the annotations, I hope it's not too hard to follow.
