Hello John, >>This move, 9...Ne4, is a novelty, correct? It didn't come from the book, and >>this position occurs many hundreds of times in a standard database. It seems >>strange that the book would end here when there was still a lot of theory left >>in the line. >> >>For example, the CM9000 database has about 700 games that reach this position, >>and five different moves are played from here, none of them being 9...Ne4. >>9...dxc4 and 9...Qc7 are the most popular moves. >> >>jm > >The Noomen Select positions are like the Nunn2 set, except that they are >different. The point is to set up a standard opening position, and let the >engines play it from there. > > Albert 9... Ne4 isn't a novelty... [Event "?"] [Site "Paris op ch A"] [Date "1993.??.??"] [White "Laurain,D "] [Black "Khaznawi,F "] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "A13"] [Round "6"] 1. c4 e6 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. d4 d5 4. Nc3 Bb4 5. e3 c5 6. a3 Bxc3+ 7. bxc3 O-O 8. Bd3 Nc6 9. O-O Ne4 10. Qc2 f5 11. Ne5 Nxe5 12. dxe5 Qc7 13. f3 Ng5 14. cxd5 exd5 15. c4 Qxe5 16. f4 Qxa1 17. Bb2 Qxf1+ 18. Kxf1 dxc4 19. Bxc4+ Ne6 20. Qb3 Re8 21. g4 Kf8 22. gxf5 Nc7 23. Qc3 Re4 24. Qxg7+ Ke8 1-0 Nevertheless more important than the question "theory?" is the "positional sacrifice by Rybka". Kind regards Tobias Lagemann
