Practice Game II: Harvey Williamson Vs. Dylan Sharp

Dylan Sharp · Post by **Dylan Sharp** » Wed May 14, 2008 9:13 pm

In this game we're going to try to simulate what would happen if we play the Ruy Lopez against the fishes:

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 Nf6
*

[fen]r1bqkb1r/1ppp1ppp/p1n2n2/4p3/B3P3/5N2/PPPP1PPP/RNBQK2R w KQkq - 0 5[/fen]

It's Harvey Williamson's turn.

Restrictions (Following the previous game rules):

Harvey is restricted to only using Rybka for his analysis.

I am restricted to not using Rybka in my analysis.

Harvey, thanks for accepting my challenge. A draw from me would be remarkable considering the hardware difference (I assume you'll be using an octal.)

Yikes! Dylan ,buddy, can I come to your funeral? Good luck though! Harvey is the guy who said he would give draw odds vs everyone. Maybe you should ask for draw odds? This is going to be fun. Maybe I can help Dylan when I am available!

It can be Dylan Sharp and PortCitySlim against Harvey. I wouldn't be available as much as last time but I should be able to help give critical help when needed, I don't have Rybka either so that fits the rules. I just could not see you having to play a monster like Harvey all by yourself, I don't let my boys go down like that

I will use only Rybka + my brain once I get out of my opening prep. The Rybka stuff will have to wait till I get home but we will probably be in theory for some time.

5.0-0

If others want to help Dylan that is fine.

With my method, the only way you could help me is by suggesting move/variations after Harvey has moved. I'll take a deep look at them.

I was looking at the possibility of playing a gambit but I refuted it so it was a very bad idea. So, to speed things up:

if 6.Bb3 6...Bb7

You mean, you refuted the Marshall??

No, I invented a new gambit that looked playable by black. Then I proved that the gambit was an unsound blunder. That's why it took me time to offer the conditional.

Harvey to be forfeited in 5 hours!

Nah, there's not time limit.
