I hope my reply was somewhat better :) but I am no master. See: http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?464461 http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?464564 I found a reasonable variant for black after the "overruled" move 4...g5 (followed by 5.Nf3 as offered by A.Steen) in which white's king is forced to move Ke1-f2 at move no. 8. In other words, 7 plies after 4...g5. Ok - not very deep for a gm, and ok also: White is better and probably winning after Kf2 still, as Uri Blass has analysed and I agree. But: I assume if a grandmaster, just after 4...g5, sees that he might have to move his king so early after the - as it seems - most likely, and fairly easy, continuation, he must think twice. I mean, it takes a litte while to calculate, being in the position of the 4th move (!), to see that white will still have an advantage after 8.Kf2. Not a long while, but it takes it's time. A. Steen presented his decision to take back 4...g5? and have Fruit play it's 2nd best choice, as a very easy and quick one. That has raised my doubt and I thought, hey, not so quick! Let's take a closer look at it. See what his comment was. :( No real chess content about the variant anymore. To make it clear, I agree that g7-g5 is bad, but I do not agree that anybody can be 100% or even 90% sure, in an instant. Being forced to move 8.Kf2 must ring the alarm bells, and it takes time to make sure it's a false alarm. As A.Steen presents it in the first posting, it doesn't seem as if he did take very much time when he was "shocked" about 4...g5. Find your own interpretations... :) Yours truly Paul Jacobean Sacral
