I just got my butt kicked (OK, he was 2300+) my game fell apart very soon after this, ideas, please...

Qxd5 is about equal. I have played it once as white and won in like 16 moves, but if black plays well he should be able to equalize.

Crazy stuff, personally I just play Bc5 here (which isn't very helpful for you).

Avatar of pvmike

yeah I've played Qxd5 here's a game of mine

Avatar of rooperi

Wow, thanx for that game, pvmike. In future its Qx for me, then...

you should play 5. Na5

Na5? Doesn't that lead to a loss of a knight?

pvmike , in your first game, it looks that 25. ... Bxe3 does the trick as well, doesn't it ? Cool

Interesting, Nd4 has a very good results for black, significantly better than mainline Na5.Surprised

I will have to give it a try, so far I have mostly played Na5

It was good enough for relatively unknown Carl Burger to beat Bobby Fischer with :). Ok, it was in a simul, but still....
