Subject: Nakamura Attack
For centuries it has been an opening that every chess player knows
about and has played against, but has never had a name.

Now, it has a name. Before, it was just the Patzer Opening. Everybody
knew what that was, but that was not an official name.

This solves a problem for me because for years I have had a problem
trying to explain to my students why this opening was no good. Yet, I
could not demonstrate a refutation.

Now we know that there is no refutation. It is an opening played by a
top grandmaster.

It is the Nakamura Attack, and without even an official naming
ceremony, every active chess player in the world already knows what it
is. It is the opening 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 !!!!

Yes, although if you've looked over the game you'll see that Nakamura
missed a chance in the middlegame to continue his attack more
successfully.

The kid has an open mind and a good sense of humor.
He lost the game because he was fearless with his attack later
on...which he almost pulled off it appears to me.
Tal didn't start playing "correct and practical" chess until well after
he lost his rematch with Botvinnik. (I believe he said that had he had
the positional skills he aquired later in his career, he would have had
no trouble defending his title)
Naka's positional skills will only grow in time. Just wait and see what
kind of brillaint wins we get when that happens. He'll need them to
play at the Super GM level.

It depends. There is a surprise effect, useful in internet blitz games.
Not everybody knows the best replies. I usually play against opponents
(much) lower rated than 2000. Once or twice, 2...g6?? was replied. :-))
Chess should be fun.

I like it. When I lose such games, it's certainly not caused by 2.Qh5?!.

What do you mean official? On who's authority has it been named thus,
by a multi million pound maniac who kills dissenters? What a
progression for chess if this is so.

What? Ray Keene's voice has just echoed through my brain. The opening
is known as giving a bad position, being played by a grandmaster does
nothing to augment or repudiate this.

AMERICAN TEEN MAKES GMS LAUGH

By ANDY SOLTIS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


May 1, 2005 -- Chess Grandmaster


THEY laughed when Hikaru Nakamura, the new star of U.S. chess, sat down
to play his seventh-round game at the recent Sigeman international
tournament in Copenhagen last month.

They laughed because the 18-year-old's opening was a joke � 1 e4 e5 2
Qh5!?.

After Black defended his attacked e-pawn, White continued 3 Bc4,
threatening the oldest trap in the book, the "Scholar's Mate." If Black
falls asleep, White plays 4 Qxf7 mate!.

Nakamura's opponent, Grandmaster Krishnan Sasikiran of India, didn't
snooze. He played 3 . . . g6 and eventually won in 87 moves.

White's opening is so bizarre, it doesn't even have a name.

Virtually every beginner's book warns against moving the queen early in
the game, especially on the second move.

The queen will inevitably be driven back when attacked by lesser pieces,
as Nakamura's was by 3 . . . g6 4 Qf3 Nf6 5 Ne2 Bg7 6 Nbc3 d6 7 d3 Bg4.

Yet below the highest levels in chess, the world championships, almost
any opening can be tried.

A database check shows that 2 Qh5 has been played more than 300 times in
tournament chess since 1991, mainly in junior events � and has scored
about 30 percent.

Then again, 1 h3, has been played nearly 250 times over that period �
and has done even better.

Qh5 in the 3rd move is not a move that should receive an exclamation k.
After playing Qh5 by white, black can develop almost all his pieces by
threating the queen. And personally i dunt like the games of Hikaru
Nakamura, they are not games you can say WOW! for. He plays like the
conputer, boring moves, but with great positional & tactical advantage, but
still boring. And a move you would expect for a person of that rating.

Evidently he has that rating. What is your rating, Mr. Vetto?
I'll remind everyone that these games are not about what thrills you
but about establishing their record of wins and losses. Get a life!

Nope. GMs just win enough of the right games to obtain a high GM rating.

How do you explain the fact that Hikaru Nakamura won enough of the
right stuff with his typical moves to obtain a highly deserved GM rating?

Why don't you try doing some actual research, and maybe you will find
out? I am reliably informed, for example, that New York has several
fine libraries where much information is stored; you may be able to
find something relevant there. This is of course a more difficult

One of many erroneous Sloan beliefs. He played it at least one other
time, against J.S. Morrison, at the same tournament, New York 1918, and
won.

> Alekhine played the Alekhine Defense in Pasadena 1932.

True, against Samuel Factor, but that was not the first time he used
the line. The first known instance was in a consultation game,
Donegan/Mueller/Zimmerman-Alekhine, Zurich, 27 August 1921 (0-1, 33).
His first use of it in a master tournament was Saemisch-Alekhine,
Budapest 1921 (10 September, =BD-=BD, 24). In the same event he also
played it against Endre Steiner, 15 September (0-1, 53). The latter has
sometimes been erroneously reported as the only time Alekhine ever
played Alekhine's Defense. His last known use of the line was
Milner-Barry - Alekhine, Hastings 1933-34 (2 January 1934, 0-1, 58).

This is a very interesting subject about which many articles have been
written, especially by Andy Soltis in Chess Life. The question is: How
do Openings Get Their Names?

I am far from an expert on this but I believe that the two oldest
opening names are the Sicilian Defense and the Guioco Piano. Both
names were provided by Greco in about 1630 I believe.

The Ruy Lopez was a known opening in 1560 but that name for it is
fairly modern.

Among modernly named openings, the MacCutcheon Variation was nasmed
after a patzer named MacCutcheon who played it in a simultaneous
exhibition against Steinitz.

New names for openings usually come from the names of famous players.
I believe that shall only played the shall Gambit one time, but
that was in a famous game against Capablanca.

Alekhine played the Alekhine Defense in Pasadena 1932.

Benko clearly invented the Benko Gambit. Nobody played the Benko
Gambit before Benko did, yet the Soviets refused to call it that,
perhaps because Benko was a defector, so they called it the Volga
Gambitr.

I have a personal beef. I do not like it when anybody calls 1. g4 the
Basman Attack because I taught Basman how to play this opening when I
stayed for two days at his home in Southern England in February 1978.
Before I taught Basman how to play it, he thought it lost by force.
However, Basman is an International Master and a famous player and
author, so the opening is often named after him. Usually to have an
opening named after yourself you have to be a famous player.

I am convinced that the opening 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 will forever after be
known as the Nakamura Attack. Undoubtedly there is some name for it
already, but nobody knows what it is. Nakamura is a strong and famous
grandmaster, and there is no other likely name, so that will be it.

Sloan, you are a fool.

In the days of Google anyone can instantly look up questionable
assertions made by pseudo-authorities such as you.

Strange that this doesn't keep you from peddling your collection of
half-truths as fact.

For example, Google gives zero hits on "Basman attack". This silly
opening is reasonably widely known as Grob's attack. It is used by
Patzers to exploit the fact that other Patzers are unprepared for it.

Henry Grob was a minor Swiss Chess master and writer who managed to
attach his name to the opening.

For the Wolga-Gambit it is easy to find the reference
Rubinstein-Spielmann, Vienna 1922. Benk� was born in 1928. A number of
Russian players analyzed this opening in the 1950's and gave it the
name Wolga-Gambit.

Incidentally, look up Clyde Nakamura, who believed he had invented a
new gambit, namely 1.d4 Nf6 2.g4...

Unfortunately, Jurgen, who used to be a truth-teller, has picked up
Taylor Kingston's habit of lying all the time.

The game Rubenstein-Spielmann was by no stretch a Benko Gambit. It was
not even a gambit at all. Spielmann never sacrificed or offered a
pawn. Rather, it was Rubinstein who sacrificed a pawn.

Here is the game. Look at the moves. There is no gambit pawn at all.

In fact, there is no game ever in the history of chess where the Benko
Gambit was played before Benko played it. There were a few games where
the move b5 was played sacrificing a pawn but that was already later
in the game, never on move 3.

Here is the Rubinstein-Spielmann Game. You will see that there is no
pawn sacrifice:
