Ben_Dubuque

That doesnt work, also any opinion on the game above your post^

26. Kxg8 1-0

Ben_Dubuque

well then Black would get there on the same move, and therefore should officially be drawn because Each took 26 moves to get to the other side, white only got there first because White always goes first. But under today's rules, it would be won by white

glerpydoo

hmmm........ i see now.

so what's your general strategy? i like to take a hypermodern approach: advance the king one rank, push the enemy king back, then advance to victory!

glerpydoo

Ben_Dubuque

I seem to vaguely remember that one

glerpydoo

just to confirm, jetfighter: this type of strategy is allowed for your tournament, right? I still tried to make an active effort to advance my king, just after I had tied up the opposing king. Similar to the hypermoderns, who established a center after destroying their opponents.

Ben_Dubuque

Exactly, just look at the the last comment on the tournoment page, that should answer your questions, also There should be your opponent, remember one game as black and one as white. GL oh and I plan on using the Tried and true Open Bongcloud.

White devoleps the king on the edge, keeping it away from the center where there are more peices to block it's path!

Ben_Dubuque

Wait, I think I remember that Line from a game between Bongnavik and Cokhail Tal

It may take me some time to find in my extensive library

Love your posts.

Bongnavik misses on 21.c6. c6 loses 3/4 of a tempi...minimum. A sharper reply would have been...

21.....Bxf2  nudging the rook to?

22. Rg3 Bxh4  extending the combination and weakening whites hold on the g file, to be followed with

23.....Bg5!+ and a nice jam freeing blacks king from the h file.

I referenced The Book and I couldn't find this opening. Is this perhaps the long lost Bongcloud Carburator?
bresando

Yes, our game is definitely exploring uncharted territory.
