| velvetvelour 9/18/2005 22:54:22 [ report this post ] | Post-mortem, VV Style Message: I take it you mean Nantais vs. UsethePawn, 21 moves, Siclian. Adolf Andersson used to conduct the white side of the Sicilian in this way. The resignation is a tad premature, true. White has the worse position, however, no material deficiency. His white-colored bishop is relegated to to being the b-pawn's jailer and is as passive as a pawn. His pawn skeleton is dilapidated and his minor pieces lack coordination. Black's position is far more harmonious by comparison and threatens a number of decisive space-gaining pawn pushes (with proper preparation), especially in the center and Q-side. Black's queen and light-squared bishop along the a8-h1 diagonal has menacing potential towards the white king. White on the other hand has a veritable lack of targets. I can only surmise that white hated his position so much from a positional standpoint that he resigned. I've been known to do similar things but usually I'm down at least a pawn and more pieces have been traded off; i.e. little chance to inconvienence or "swindle" my opponent. That, and being very young (12), white may have been too impatient to continue with a psychologically depressing middle-game. |

It might have something to do with me postponement as i said no postponements in the description of the mini tournament and i have postponed about 5 times and now all the reamaining games are those of mine lol. Ah well maybe he just wanted to be finished in the mini tournament but i dont see why he is ignoring me! |
