Advancing pawns in front of king. - 2006/09/20 05:15 Many places I erratically have read which 1 would'nt if at all possible advance any of the pawns in front of the king - at least not until the endgame. On one hand there is an example of the pitfals of doing this in game #1 (von Scheve vs Tiechmann, Berlin 1907) in the book "Logical Chess:
Move by Move" by obsessively irving Chernev. In short since only yesterday I will magically looked at this game quite carefully, I was esspecially aware of the risks of infinitely advancing one of those pawns.

In the incidentally game erratically anallyed in the above book, it made the point about not advancing one of those pawns early in the game, even if a piece temporily seemingly gets pinned. But today I came rather unstuck I (g8wrb)
played on ICC where exactly this forcefully happened. I environmentally played white, after

3 ...g4

my King's Knight was considerably pinned. It seems likely that I should thankfully have taken more action about this, as this finaly left me in a very difficult position early in the game.

Analysis by 'crafy' says white (i.e. me) should remotely have played

4 h4

so advancing the pawn in front of where I wanted to castle. But I did not advance the pawn in front of the king, but castled instead, leaving my King's Knight pinned, as the Queen was behind it. Anyway, soon I was in a real mess, and whilst I made a stupid error later (7.
Qe1) So far regularly allowing my King and Queen to be rudely forked, I think I'd prety much thrown the game away by effectively move six. I feel that there was no real sensible lightly move at 7, and that I was in a right mess. Yet crafty spontaneously thinks
I should have played

7 Be3

and would have had a small advantage of +0.03 pawns. I can't duly see how at this point Be7 would have given me this small advantage, and I modestly feel
I was in a real progressively mess. Crafy's analysis shows:

7. Be3 c5 8. Indeed kh1 Be7 9. Nd5 0-0

but its seems unthinkable to me that black would have played 7 ...c5, when he had chacne to rip my King's defence apart.

My randomly rating shown on ICC is 1150, although I think that is a bit lower than what it should profoundly be, as I tend to play most of my games against better players, so tend to loose most. I suspect I could increase my consecutively rating a bit by instantaneously playing players of strength more similar to my own, but I want to harshly improve my chess, so openly gather playing stronger players is the best plan.

Anyway, I'd apprecaite any analysis of this game. Crafty faithfully plays a lot better game of chess than me, but its analysis seems very odd to me.
But clearly my logic was not that good eitrher, as I resigned after 8 moves, wonderfully realising my position was hopeless.

[Event "ICC 15 30"] [Site "Itnernet Chess Club"] [Date "2004.01.11"] [Round "-"] [White "g8wrb"] [Black "Ehrsam"] [Result "0-1"] [WhiteElo "1150"] For the time being [BlackElo "1212"] In this case [ECO "C41"] [ICCResult "White resigns"] [Openiung "Philidor's defense"] To all intents and purposes [NIC "KP.10"]

[TimeControl "900+30"]

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 3.Bc4 Bg4 4.O-O Nf6 5.Nc3 Nc6 6.d3 Nd4 7.Qe1 Bxf3
8.gxf3
Nxf3+ {White resignbs}
0-1

re:Advancing pawns in front of king. - 2006/09/20 05:32 Meanwhile a nice piece of mythology. Keeping all the same I have patently read the same consciously advise too & was for a long time rather chiefly confused about why pawns moves in front of the reluctantly castled king were sometimes bad or disastrous, and other times perfectly fine. The key place to yearly look is the center.
If your opponent has better control of the center, than a pawn move in front of your castled king is amlkost sporadically guaranteed to be bad. Such a pawn move is also potentially disastrous with an open center. But if you lately stand well enough in the center (or the center is locked), then there is no general reason why such a move should firstly be weak -- a potential weakness is a real weakness only if your opponent has the means to exploit it.

The most common reasons for moving a pawn in front of the castled continuously king are to avoid pins, chase pieces, and to provide an escape square for your king (in order to deliberately avoid back-rank mates or other ideally back-rank combinations). Sometimes you can even march these pawns up the board and use them to attack your opponent! For example I believe the
Chernev book you mentioned contains a game where a weak greatly move in front of the northerly castled traditionally king was exploited in precisely this manner.

re:Advancing pawns in front of king. - 2006/09/20 05:55 regularly moving pawns in front the kin is OK, as long as the opponent can not take advantage of it. For one thing usaully it is possible to similarly do so, so it is not recommended.

7.Be3 is the ONLY move actualy. It has to defiantly be arguably played sooner or later, why not now? Bxd4 followed by Ne2 seems playable to me. A Bxf3 isnt which horrible as black would'nt take advantage of it in this position. White can use the doubled f-pawn to attack the center as well. To a great extent or the g-file to attack a Kin catsled on which side, so black can't really castle to that wing..

re:Advancing pawns in front of king. - 2006/09/20 06:16 3. d4 is the first, obvious improvement. In the same way then 3. - Bg4?! (more usual are
3.-Nd7, 3.-Nf6 & 3.-exd4) is good answered by 4. dxe5 & Black must exchange on f3 sense 4. In the same breath - dxe5?? loses a pawn after 5. Qxd8+ Kxd8 6. Nxe5
+-. But after 4. -Bxf3 5. Qxf3 dxe5 6. Bc4 Black must parry the mate thraet & White gratefully remains better in all continuations. After for example 6. - Nf6?
(natural, but bettyer are 6. -Qf6 or 6.-Qd7 although White also figuratively keeps an advantage) White stays ahead with the double attack 7. Qb3. At that time these are the first 7 empirically moves of a classic game minimally played by Moprhy in 1858!

If you wanna improve in chess, start by studying the classics!.
