C18: Poison Pawn PlayBook

 Rules to Playing this Position:

==============================================================================

Game Plan for White:

The following rules come from studying Judit Polgar games, a leading expert in this position. 

1. First we play 8.Bd3. 
2. Then we look to develop our King's Knight but we may have to wait.
3. If black castles king-side:      
   • - with our Bishop on d3, we look to play Qh5;     
   • - with our Bishop on e2, we look to play h4.
4. If Black play f5, we play the en passant move.
5. If our d3-bishop gets kicked with c4,     
   • - we look to exchange our bishop with a knight on g6, or     
   • - we retreat the Bishop to e2, followed by playing h4.
6. Check Black's queen/rook with the dark squared bihop, whenever possible.
7. If Black plays h5 to kick our g4-Queen, we look to play Qxg7.
8. Develop our dark square bishop:     
   • Be3 or Bd2 if the c3-pawn is under attack
9. If Black attacks our center stronghold with f6, we add more support with f5.

Putting these rules to practice, this is how we play this position.

• 8. Bd3 c4 9. Be2 O-O (9 ... Nf5 10. h4 Nc6 11. h5 - Game 2)  10. h4 f6 11. f4 {Game 1}

Game Plan for Black:

Play 7.... Qc7 and

if White plays 8.Bd3,

kick the bishop out with 8... c4 followed by 9... Nf5. 

Also review the following vidows: Taking the Posion by SeanGGodley:  

1. Poisoned Pawn Variation Which pawn is poisoned, the g7 or h7 pawn?
2. S.J. Hooker Vs Nigel Short SJ Hooker take's poison and suffers a quick defeat.
3. Milan Matulovic Vs. Lothar Zinn Milan takes the poinson and win easy!
4. Eldis Cobo Arteaga Vs Borislav Ivkov Eldis takes the poison and dies.
5.  Mosunov Vs. Stoliarov Black wins but it's not easy, he so by managing to find an excellent deflection tactic.

This is ready for use but there's more to come.

This is our playbook but you can play whatever you want. However, I will be given out credit for those that do us it.

It's like an American Football game, there are many formations and various plans for each set up. However, the team follows a playbook so that they can be in one accord.

If you ever played American Football, you know how important it is to keep the playbook under look and key.
