Thanks!!
Great job matt!
Now that was a useful service. Thanks!
Thanks!
And double thanks because without this I'd have had to do this myself

thanks a lot!
Thank you. Much appreciated!!
thats some write up on our game Matt.Good work.
thanks all, i think the only game i forgot to include move comments is the first one in the file, natmaku - ppipper. i may have added a few extra comments like 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5 = in order to placate Barnard and ppipper,
, but the majority of the comments came from the forum, and most particularly from Nelson, so a lot of credit also goes to him for his efforts.

i dont understand that,can you explain me what you mean with it,please?
placate means appease, to make calmer; basically i was just teasing a bit, knowing that you and ppipper play these lines on occasion so for me to say that Black has equalized in 2 moves, it's a bit presumptuous and provocative. although my opinion really is that that Black has fully equal chances after d4 Nf6 2.Bg5 Ne4 or g6 given that Black finds a few precise moves.
well,if one day we play a game,lets see if you (black) equalize as easy as you say
... or d5 or e6 or c5. :)
But well, black has good chances to equalize against any white opening.

well,if black has good chances to equalize against any white opening,why white wins more games than black?
well, yeah! i think on 2...Ne4 in particular though Black has precise ways of making the position dead equal, and objectively I'd prefer to follow with d5 rather than c5. i really like 2...g6 too, if 3.bxf6 the pawn structure really is not a problem. 2...e6 is a bit awkward to play on both sides and 2...c5, there's some sharp stuff there, but I never really fancied the lines in which Black plays Qb6-xb2, although this grab is okay in most situations minus the cases White can develop normally with Nc3. ppipper had a very nice game against fulcrum2000 in 2...d5 last year, that's worth a look. barnard and i were discussing some lines in the tromp in private messages. i used to play it with white a bit for fun, my favorite being that dubious, to be lenient, 9.Bc7 line in the tromp... .d4 Nf6 2.Bg5 Ne4 3.Bf4 c5 4.f3 Qa5+ 5.c3 Nf6 6.d5 Qb6, Chernyshov's spectacular idea of 7.e4?! Qxb2 8.Nd2 Qxc3 9.Bc7! ... i've worked this line out, and i expect few have bothered to, but i'm sure it's not good for white, but the smallest misstep by black in the analysis, and you will be lost in a forest of variations.
speaking of equalities i must admit, it's difficult to find clear equalities in the accelerated dragon, and the berlin defense ruy lopez, both of which have intrigued me of late. yet in a few ruy variations i have doubts if white has so much as nominal advantage.
although thankfully i really think i have good stuff against many gambits, which i'd love to use and see them die ( i never really liked gambits - except for the max lange attack) - including some lines of the marshall (and on another note, i wouldn't mind the line om and i played last year) if he plays it again
. then again, i think risky lines as in ...a6 modern are acceptable for 'equality' if you can find 40 force moves. i will try a double-edged surprise with many force moves next round as black for equality given the chance.

Did I get you right there - you found something against the Marshall? Wow.
in one variation of the Marshall I have a very fun and strong new idea in one of the more popular and considered reliable sub-variations of the Marshall for Black, which is really weird and promising, and the history of the line makes it quite difficult to find because I had to look deeply into a variation of the Marshall that is considered unpromising, plus the engines will not find the idea, in fact, they hide it exceptionally well; I cannot recall if it is enough to win, plus it is ridiculously complicated --- I recall that things were unclear all the way out to move 47, so... And I have a new idea, too, to torture Black in another, but rare sub-variation of the Marshall, and as far as I know White has chances to torture in other variations... I know that I have all my bases covered when it comes to the Marshall, at least with truly promising lines for White, or in the one case, double-edged... perhaps, Black somehow, eventually, would make a draw in the end --- I spent the large part of a day going thru the entire history of the line, the chesspub theory, which I sound an excellent source material, plus the Marshall games from this tournament last year --- the lines that were tested were not the ones I considered most critical to the lines I consider most critical bc they are not the main lines exactly, but they are close to main lines perhaps... anyways, the previous games in the Marshall I saw in the WBCCC tournaments, largely weren't relevant, which is kind of a hint where I'm looking - and on 11...c6 I would play 12.d4... let's just say not quite on the most commonly beaten path by move 18 so I would have differed from the other WBCCC games by this point ... I think White can sustain something real, at least for a long time. Enough to make me think that 11...Bb7 in the Marshall could be preferable. Also there is a published strong unplayed novelty, although the source material is easy to overlook, in a Marshall variation that is, or was as of early 2012, waiting to be played, which is a bit odd...
So I really wouldn't mind a test in the Marshall... for sure it would be game on. But whatever my opponents play it should be interesting, I think, my fun lines are mostly with Black.
