  • Hey can anyone tell me why not h5 for black after white's h4 ? i think it will build a stronger diffence.

  • @SyphonFilter1 cus it was check, by the queen?

  • at 5:50 i'm going to guess rf5

  • 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6 6.Be3 Bg7 7.f3 0-0 8.Bc4 Nc6

    9.Qd2 Qa5 10.0-0-0 Bd7 11.h4 Ne5 12.Bb3 Rfc8 13.h5 Nxh5 14.Bh6 Bxh6 15.Qxh6 Rxc3 16.bxc3 Qxc3 ?

    Better is Rc8

    (if c4 Nxc4)

    (if Ne5 then.... Nf6) threatening mate in two.

    wich i think leaves the position (=/+)

    =)

  • a bit to fast narration for me mixed with the computers glithing bad graphics made it hard to keep up with what you were saying, i got the jist tho, karpov is one bad mother fucker

  • KARPOV IS GREAT

  • Oh ok.

  • Oh ok.

  • Because the queen gave check ;)
