Insidious in its execution. Somewhat surprised that a player of that level would have moved his Q into such a firing zone. I am not nearly of his level but I would have retreated my Q if for no other reason than it was a little too out front that early. Then again I would have bungled something else.......LOL

Originally posted by randolphActually position after 9th move has been in blitz game between decent GM (as white) and Garry Kasparov (as black). White did play 10.dxc5? and Kasparov managed to win this game. According to chessbase this is the only game in which was met position after Black 9th move. So maybe the problem was in uncritical using of databases.

I was playing for wins against him, like a real man, so my bravery will get rewarded.

What's the point anyway? Already three players have been banned from the tourney and I suspect more are on the way. Any finished games by the cheats should be reset as a win for the other player.
I wasted a lot of time on games with obvious cheats; I'm considering resigning all my games in the tourney as it's become a time consuming farce.

Originally posted by KorchMy black position was not too bad - he had the bishop pair but no major attacking options. Did you see my move 10 in that game? It was one of the best moves I have ever played.

And I suppose the move 10... Be2!! is an 'obviously' bad move too.
By the way, while you are lurking around in the forums, was there a good reason for salin vitalik to resign against you in that game? I am quite tired and not in the mood to analyse other peoples games other then my own but, at a glance, there did not appear to be a forced loss.

To be honest I also was surprised about that resigning - Black has definitely worse position, but I would continue to play.
