Comment by player 1 : Elmer Valderrama :
A delicate position for Black in this game. After
the move 7...Qd8!? (purporting to improve on 7...b5)
the sequence e5, Nf3,0-0,Rad1,Ne4 gives White a confortable
game with obvious threats over the Black King's position..
This is the last move in a Chess game played by E. Valderrama.

* Blunders are all there, waiting to be made. * Some part of a mistake is always correct. * The winner of a game is the one who has made the next-to-last blunder. * Chess is a fairy tale of 1001 blunders. * Sacrifices only prove that someone has blundered. * Ich mache Fehler - also ich existiere! (I make errors, therefore I am!). * Das Schach ist nur durch die Fehler existenzberechtigt (The existence of chess can only be justified by the necessity of making errors). * There is really only one mistake in chess - underestimating your opponent. * To avoid losing a piece, many a person has lost the game. * Tactics is knowing what to do when there is something to do; strategy is knowing what to do when there is nothing to do. * The great master places a Knight at e5; mate follows by itself. * Some Knights don't leap - they limp. * A draw can be obtained normally by repeating three moves, but also by one bad move. * Moral victories do not count. * A threat is more powerful than its execution. * It is always better to sacrifice your opponent's men. * Let 'S' be the strength that a player professes, And 's' represent what in fact he possesses, From a small calculation we reach the conclusion that 'S' minus 's' must equal Illusion. * All chessplayers should have a hobby. * A chess game is divided into three stages: the first, when you hope you have the advantage, the second when you believe you have an advantage, and the third... when you know you're going to lose!. * Reti studies mathematics although he is not a dry mathematician; represents Vienna without being Viennese; was born in old Hungary yet he does not know Hungarian; speaks uncommonly rapidly only in order to act all the more maturely and deliberately; and will become the best chessplayer without, however, becoming world champion. * I had a toothache during the first game. In the second game I had a headache. In the third game it was an attack of rheumatism. In the fourth game, I wasn't feeling well. And in the fifth game? Well, must one have to win every game?. -All quotes by Dr. Savielly Tartakower, (as compiled by Terry Crandall on The Game is Afoot http://www.starfireproject.com/chess)

Comment by player 1 : Elmer Valderrama :
After winning some games with White (and losing some others
with Black, -fortunately I could save one as Black recently
at iecg- I am pretty much convinced that the Benoni is
unplayable by Black if winning is the goal.
In the Over-The-Board (OTB) practice it could be a good choice,
but in CC this is just too simple: Black
never achieves equality -even if the engines give evaluations
as low as +0.00 in multi-line analysis in the middle-game,
effectively "engine equality".
Point is Black can easily go from inferior to lost
even after doing all that should be done (mostly Fischer's ideas
and of some other Russian players of such calibre).
This game is proving that point one more time.

Comment by player 2 : Elmer Valderrama :
In this game we are following V Bologan - E Rozentalis, Belfort 1998,
where the 17.Rxe6!? sacrifice gave a victory (after a gross blunder)
to Bologan. The position is uncertain, playable by Black, in my opinion.
Won on time in a dynamically equal position.

Comment by player 2 : Elmer Valderrama :
How should the King's gambit be dealt with? It's clear that it (should)
give nothing to White, and there are a dozen lines to prove it,
but when I was facing the first moves in this game --and
having seen what was played in other games here on ficgs-- I decided
to pay respect to Leko's choice in the game versus Morozevich
(Frankfurt, 2000) which finished in a draw
(of course I had an improvement for Black ;)
Now, White deviated with 10.Be3 from that game(10.Bb3),and we are
now following Grischuk-Lunev, Moscow 1999 --> 1-0 by the way,
now I hope I will do better than Lunev here ;)
0-1 by forfeit.
..too bad I couldn't test 12...Nxe4!? (after the expected 12.Qxc4)
(The mentioned above game Grischuk-Lunev went 12...c6!? 13.d5
with initiative, White eventually got a winning position)

Comment by player 2 : Elmer Valderrama :
The Berlin, a very well known `solid' opening for Black.
9. Rd1+!? also interesting is 9. Nc3
followed by h3 trying to have initiative both in the centre and
in the King side.
11. Be3 (+0.53) Novelty, as far as I know.
12...Be6!?, the engines advice is 12..Bxf3 which is not bad too.
15. Re1 (if 15. Ne4 then b5!? and Nc6 <->)
16...Nd4 (weak point Rook @ a4)
19. Nxd4 (19.Bc3!?)
23...g5!? My own attempt to try to get advantange, engines
give Kf7 or Rf7 which lead also to drawish positions.
30 Kd1, the White rook will come out after all, and the pawns in
g5 and h4-h5 will assure counterplay for White, so the draw offer was
accepted.
