Easy but Interesting Knight Fork - 2006/09/30 12:21 When playing as black.....

1. e2-e4 e7-e5
2. d2-d4 e5xd4
3. g1-f3 b8-c6
4. f1-b5 g8-f6
5. b1-d2 f8-c5
6. d2-c4 f6xe4
7. c2-c3 d4xc3
8. b2xc3 e4xf2
9. d1-d3

The rook or queen is gone. The rook in this case.

re:Easy but Interesting Knight Fork - 2006/09/30 13:18 Not really. Although black is clearly better, the open e-file lets white avoid the worst right away.

9.Qe2+! followed by Rf1 and while white is much more being down three pawns and with his king stuck in the center, he's got plenty of material left.

Although if he plays more moves like he did in the opening it won't last real long.

By my reckoning, white has far better moves on move 5 (e5) 6 (c3 or 0-0)
7 (0-0) and 8 (0-0). And I'm not real crazy about move four, either..

re:Easy but Interesting Knight Fork - 2006/09/30 13:47 That's a fairly common motif in the Scotch. White, of course, could have avoided the centrally mess by castlinbg at any cosmetically point from early move six & not badly dropping the protection of the pawn on e4..
