In the lead up to the diagram in the first post I was reminded of this
game which appeared in one of the first blogs.

Thx for writing this blog. You always seem to find the interesting stuff that is hidden in the game.

May I ask why the duck is on holiday? Visiting family, fascination by the Great Lakes...?

He's going to the Marshall Chess Club to get his picture taken
with that bust of Marshall.

When he comes basck he's off Tallinn in Estonia to get a picture of
him next to the plaque dedicated to Paul Keres.

I'll do the jokes Michael.

Where do you live? The Duck also wants picture of him at his favorite football
teams ground. (Norwich - nicknamed The Canaries.).

He is going to go all over the world. The pyramids, the great wall of China,
the leaning tower of..........that place where the leaning tower is.
And the lads on RHP are going to help me.

By the time he's finished he will be 'cream quackered!'

If he has time, he might want to check out the job going in Hollywood for someone to stand in for Donald during those risky stunt sequences.

Could be a double duck opening.

I'll write you some more puns, GP!

I'm in Lincolnshire.

In September I am off to Arizona, (again), for a holiday. The duck is welcome to join me. (I won't tell the wife!) I'll book his seat and pay for it too!

"In Bedingbedang - barselona RHP 2008 move 4 why would white play fxe3
(creating unprotected double pawns) and not Qxe3?"

Hi Alistair72

I’m glad and I’m sad you brought that game up.

Usually I have chess writers luck. A game falls into my lap and it all
flows well. The bad moves are spotted and it wraps itself up all neat.

This game was going that way until I spotted a dead jammy move.
“Why did that move have to be there. Everything was going just perfect.”
The notes were writing themselves.

Originally I was going to show the whole game, It has some instructive moments
for the 1400-1800 lads. but…

Bedingbedang - barselona RHP 2008



To answer the question about why White took doubled e-pawns….



…by playing 16fxe3 here.

At this stage of the proceedings it’s 6 and two 3’s.White is a piece and position down.
But trying to get inside the lad’s head.
I say he opted for 16. fxe3 because after 16.Qxe3.


Black can play 16…Qxe5 and the Queens are off.

These lads play to a fighting finish. It’s Checkmate or bust.
With the Queens on there is always a chance. Always.
(wait for the next blog for some classic examples. here is just a wee taste
of some games I won’t be using..)

magic13 - jason deal RHP 2008



WillieNelson (1455) - Daving (1388) RHP 2010



Watch this and be impressed. Anything can happen with the Queens on
and of course the King never leaves the board.

chinesedragon - ropopa RHP 2008



And that was the games I will not be using. I have some brilliant 'Oh No!'
games for the next blog.
