Winning by happy accident
Two slow games tonight. One Center Game miniature as white against a 1300 (fun!). The second, seen here was more interesting, a QGD against a 1420-something. Near the end he came up with a really beautiful idea for a combination that ended up being unsound, and I won. I include a lot of annotations, especially questions expressing my confusion about why Fritz liked certain moves so much more than the moves I played. PMscore(0.3)=0.79, which I am fairly happy with, but still clearly a win worth studying.
I need to learn something about the QGD.

Concerning my post containing the game and the viewer to view it with (as i mentioned would be my next post), it isn't quite finished yet. Consider my Free master chess lectures!!! post a "tweener" (as in inbetween). The post with the game will probably be next. Nice game by the way. Interesting variation, 4...b6. Fairly uncommon to my knowledge. I found 148 games in ChessBase using the move 4...b6 in which Black scores a fine 48% to 52% for White.
Btw, if it ain't too much trouble, could you remove the dutchdefense part from my link? Thanks ;-)
Cool. I think an earlier c5 is standard when black doesn't blay Bg5. I didn't know this. I'll remove it if you tell me what ookwelbekendalsemc means! :)
ookwelbekendalsemc = also known as emc.
Actually, your opening became a Queen's Indian Defence. The most common moves for Black at move 6 are ...Nbd7, ...Bd6, and ...Be7. Yours was an ok but minor variation.
The GM move at move 7 is ...a6. I don't know much about the QID but I'll see if I can dig up something more meaningful than statistics later.
Queen's indian, eh? Sweet.
tempo: I was meaning to write up an explanatory post on that. I still will. In the meantime, you know what it means now BDK ;-)
grandpatzer: Is that comment of yours "I'll see if I can dig up something more meaningful than statistics" supposed to adress me (or however you say it)?
ook: no, I was thinking about my own response. I was just quickly seeing what Chessbase had as the main moves by occurrence.
I dug into the opening, and rest of the game, some more and forwarded the results to BDK.
Because if it is, i can't help but feel slightly offended.
I see. Thanks for clarifying.
GP: You rock! Do you mind if I post your comments to chessbase.com as a revised version of that same annotated game?
DD: OK I'll change it so you can maintain your secrecy.
Since your name offends my English-only sensibilities for appropriate length and number of consonants in a name, I've named you 'The Ookmeister' on my sidebar.
BDK: feel free.
Hahaha! Well, my name isn't really a secret since it is included in the title of my weblog. But i think i can live with ookmeister ;-)
