It's ... the Andrew Martin Radio ChessBase Show
Cast your eye over the following position.
It's White's move. All that is required is to find the last move by Black.You
should know that no captures have been made over the last four moves
(in this case a move by each player equals two moves).
Yes, this is the first Radio Show Competition published in advance. They were
getting too easy! Email your answers to predictaresult@yahoo.co.uk. We'll discuss
the solution on the show.
Back in the world of "normal" chess we will also take a look at
the King's Indian and the Alekhine. Specifically the troubling Classical Variation,
where 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Nf3 0-0 6.Be2 Nbd7!
is an underestimated move, and the Miles Variation 1.e4 Nf6 2.e5
Nd5 3.d4 d6 4.Nf3 dxe5 5.Nxe5 c6!?
which has been touted as a possible solution to Black's problems. We'll see
you at 19:30 GMT 20:30 CET this Wednesday. Don't miss it!
