At Aeroflot, in 2004, a 13 made chess history playing against Grand Master Sergey Dolmatov.

This game starts very odd.

1. Nf3 f5
2. !?d3 ...

That move is not good. There's a lot more that can be said about it but I'll move on for now.

2. ... ?! d6

This move prepares e7-e5, but that is a misstake because he lost tempo. Black (Dolmatov) could have tryed to save tempo with 2. ... Nc6!? with the idea of playing an improved Janish variation of Ruy Lopez.

3. e4 e5
4. Nc3 Nc6
5. exf5 Bxf5
6. !d4 ...

White is trying to ovethat despite losing a tempo on d2-d3-d4, he is better prepared for an opening of the position than Black.



More later, gtg, J-EZ out!
