Subject: Re: yet another "avoid move" test position

For all who like "avoid move" positions, here's another one; a quite extreme
example I think. It occurs after the following moves:

Noordijk - Landau [B02]
Rotterdam, 1927
[Gelenczei 1958]

1.e4 Nf6 2.e5 Nd5 3.Nf3 d6 4.Bc4 Nb6 5.Bxf7+ Kxf7 6.Ng5+ Kg6 7.Qf3
[D]rnbq1b1r/ppp1p1pp/1n1p2k1/4P1N1/8/5Q2/PPPP1PPP/RNB1K2R b KQ - 0 7
7...Kxg5?? 8.Qf7 g6 9.d4+ [9.d3+ Kh5 10.Qf4 h6 11.g3 Bg4 12.h3 Qd7 13.hxg4#]
9...Kh5 10.Qf4 h6 11.h3 g5 12.Qf7+ Kh4 13.g3# 1-0

But black must not only avoid 7...Kxg5, he should play 7...Qe8 (7...Bf5 is also
bad). Some programs are not prepared for this variation; a good chance to catch
them in the opening - but it's risky. Black get's big advantage if he defends
correctly.
