 Re: katar - 1.e4 e5 for Blk: KingsGambit, Center Gme [32:48]Thanks for that game-
 You demonstrated clear, logical play. And indeed, I found it quite helpful as I'm still in the early stages of learning this opening._________________ illigetimi non carborundum. |

Re: katar - 1.e4 e5 for Blk: KingsGambit, Center Gme [32:48] I'm slowly going back and polishing my PGNs on this series. Here's the latest with arrows removed and some corrections made in various places. I also arranged the variations in chronological order relative to the video so someone can use it as a handy reference if they wish.

Re: katar - 1.e4 e5 for Blk: KingsGambit, Center Gme [32:48] (This has been posted in the other relevant threads too- since the original post where I linked to the CPT repertoire has long since dropped off the radar, I thought it made sense to link here):
I have transcribed Katar's e4-e5 complete repertoire into Chess Position Trainer format. See the link at the end of this post. Please note that for my ease in transcription, I divided the repertoire into several sub-repertoires however many transpositions exist from one opening to another that are not addressed by this method of organization. Fortunately, CPT allows one to merge the sub-repertoires (discrete sub-reps or altogether) to create one super-repertoire that does address the transposition issue. If you do this (and you probably should for training purposes), first make a copy of the original in case you want to split off any of the sub-repertoires at a later date. Also, databases are very tricky to proofread and Katar didn't speak the moves aloud at many points as he whizzed through variations making transcription a real challenge at times, so undoubtedly there will errors and oversights. Please let me know when you discover these as I will continue to update the repertoire over time. All the material covered in his videos including comments (though often condensed) and evaluations is included. I also drew on other sources- articles, books and computer analysis in places where I thought it was useful to flesh out the lines or investigate obvious looking replies that were not originally covered in the videos. The only video of his 9-part series not included is the Main Line Berlin Defense ("The Berlin Wall") as the types of positions that arise (i.e. based on ideas rather than variations) do not lend themselves to a database treatment very successfully. You should watch his video for the ideas involved as well as Dennis Monokroussos' two excellent videos (albeit with a different approach to the opening than Katar's recommendations) and Cox's book (The Berlin Wall). Many thanks to katar for his hard work and diligent research and also a big shoutout to Wildman whose PGN transcriptions proved invaluable at times. Enjoy! http://nationalchessacademy.org/Katar_K ... _e4_e5.zip _________________ illigetimi non carborundum. |

Re: katar - 1.e4 e5 for Blk: KingsGambit, Center Gme [32:48] Today GM Michael Adams (ELO 2734) played against GM Nakamura the line (7...c5) covered in this video and got a small advantage after ten moves.
1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 d5 4. exd5 Nf6 5. Bc4 Nxd5 6. O-O Be6 7. Bb3 c5  The traditionally more common move is 7...Nc6 by the way. Naka post-game: "I actually concluded 6...Be6 was probably the best move, so I certainly wasn't very happy when Mickey played it pretty quickly." "7...c5 is the best move and makes 7.Bb3 a bad try." _________________ talkin bout PRACTICE http://www.chessvideos.tv/forum/viewtopic.php?p=63877#p63877 |

Glossy chess books rule! They are the highlight of any browsing stint in the chess book section of a bookstore! Lol |

Re: katar - 1.e4 e5 for Blk: KingsGambit, Center Gme [32:48] It came to my attention that the defense to the King's Gambit is covered in two brand new books on 1...e5 for Black. Both books recommend the formerly uncommon move 7...c5 after the modern mainline (1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 d5 4. exd5 Nf6 5. Bc4 Nxd5 6. O-O Be6 7. Bb3 c5).
1. The new "Kaufman Repertoire" book (New in Chess, 2012). 2. The new "Open Games for Black" by Ovetchkin and Lysyj (Chess Stars, 2012). This book gives 7...c5 an exclam saying Black is fighting for the center and the dark squares. Seems that 7...c5! is now overtaking the older 7...Be7 (see Chess Advantage, Kaufman 2004) as the recommended book move. _________________ talkin bout PRACTICE http://www.chessvideos.tv/forum/viewtopic.php?p=63877#p63877 |
