Cooke to the rescue
Before discussing the crud that passes for analysis from Mssrs Cooke and Wall,
I would like first to pass my condolences and apologies to Mr. Short for the
grievous pain and suffering he incurred lo so many years ago, I am very sorry I
wasted his time so awfully, I will be sure that never happens again.
Brian, it is very nice of you to not heap criticism for ...Nxe3 when
...Nh4 was critical- ...Nxe3 was terribly lazy, thus even if Black barely hangs
on in the various inferior endings, its not deserved since Black was too feeble
to see this! Meanwhile, T. Cooke chips in with an early improivement, 5.d4
It is true this improves compared to the game, but I am stunned it gets 2 !!s
when it hardlly wins by force.
Aside from skipping whether Black really has to play 5...b5 and I
notice that all those pawn moves in the Najdorf hasnt bothered FIscher or
Kasparovv, but who are they to compete with Cooke and Wall in regards to
Sicilian affairs???- lets take a look at 5...b5 6.d5 and admit that 6..Nd4
is far from great for Black but since when is 6...Nd4 forced for Black?
WIth just a small bit of analysis one can see that WHite is fairly tested by
6...bc Black stakes his future on the Bishop pair in an open position where
Blacks King is not subject to the usual huge Kingside attack 6...bc 7.dc d6-
doh! WHite doesnt get to face tripled Pawns but c6 will die after either
...Ne7 or ...Qc7 thus it makes a lot of sense to chase c4, or WHite has to
play a pawn down. 8.Qe2 Ne7 9.Qx4 Nxc6 Wow, just the kind of gloriously
winning position one expects from two straight !!s early in the opening?! In
what way is Black suffering? I will concede that WHite doesnt
have to capture on c4, but this still doesnt answer the question of how his
attack is so overwhelming that Black shouldnt even bother chasing for that
Bishop pair "I feel' is not a substitute for concrete analysis that gives a
semblance of a plan of action Bc4 has problems enough in the Sozin, playing
this earlier yet in the Sicilian does not guarantee White a bigger attack

1. e4 c5 2. Bc4
I noticed soemthing funny lately - people will play a bad opening if
you give it a cute name. This is my third Bowlder Attack, an opening
I would despise without a name. I have three victories from three
lousy positions.

The Bowlder attack is all I play against the Sicilian (although
sometimes I'll transpose and play 2.Nf3, 3.Bc4, and a couple of
times I've played 2.f4). It has sometimes given me very good
positions against players a lot stronger than I am (which I then go
on to stuff up, but that's another problem).

2 ... Nc6 3. Nf3 e6 4. Nc3 a6 5. a4 Nf6
I am not going to hide behind a computer this game but as far as I
can tell this completely refutes the Bowlder Attack.

This is why I don't play 5.a4?! It's fine if Black wants to keep
developing his pawns... white should be trying to develop pieces with
5.d4 (I believe after the thematic move for black 5...b5 then 6.d5!?
is still better for white).

Brian Wall -
after 1 e4 c5 2 Bc4 Nc6 3 Nf3 e6 4 Nc3 a6 5 d4!! b5 6 d5!! Nd4
7 Bd3, Be2 or Bf1 are better for White -
Thanx for the assist, Tristrom!
This is good news for the Croation Harvard Square blitzer Dean Mitrovich
