I play the obvious 41.Bf6, which forces some concession. My next move may be difficult.Steve B wrote:The Epic Clash between Man v Machine Continues in this thread

Re: GM Kaufman v.Novag Constellation 3.6 QR Odds (Moves 41-O
I'm beginning to like white better and better here. Trying to avoid losing the exchange by black might be heading toward a bit of trouble here. I'd be tempted to retreat the knight and close the e-file myself. Seems like an obvious move, but connie might go for Kf8 as well to stop the queen check that way... next couple of moves will be interesting.lkaufman wrote:I play the obvious 41.Bf6, which forces some concession.

Re: GM Kaufman v.Novag Constellation 3.6 QR Odds (Moves 41-O
I think Black has really gone wrong, again. There're are some subtle moves to find but due to various mate threats Black will have to make too many consessions.bob wrote:I'm beginning to like white better and better here.

Kibitzing usually means trying to guess the next few moves or so or describing in words the strategy of how you would continue the game if you were playing from here as Bob doesTerry McCracken wrote: Worse, a GM!
Kasparov sends his Regards,
when you asked if it was OK for you to guess the next moves i agreed but i did not mean you should post lines 20+ plys in length
please limit your guesses to a couple of moves.. preferably just for Connie's moves
your comments on the game are of course Welcome
Thanks Terry
