Anthea Carson continues to terrorize the Chess World with her solid Crab Attack.
Tim Brennan should have been well prepared from his first Crab loss
but he went down ever harder this time.

White - Anthea 1693
Black - Tim Brennan 1741
Opening - King Crab - 1 h4 first
Late November 2007
1. h4 e5 2. a4 Be7
The first Crab victory taught Timmy some fear and respect.
He opts for a modest development amid prayers of survival.
3. h5 h6
The King Crab has hit a sea rock and can go no further.
Back to the main plan of d4 and Nf4
4. e3 d5
Normally two pawns abreast are the best pawn formation you can have but
Timmy's center pawns look like schoolboys waiting to be called into the
Principal's office.
5. d4 exd4 6. exd4
f4 beckons the g1-knight like a siren.
6 ... Nf6 7. Na3 O-O 8. Nh3
The charm of the Crab as I interpret it -
Two rook pawns advance, offering mobility
to the rooks, the knight develop dutifully behind them
and before Black can stop laughing,
the Knights centralize, the rabid rooks reposition themselves
and Black is knocked backwards without ever seeing the knockout blow.
8 ... Bg4 9. Be2 Bxe2 10. Qxe2 c5 11. Qb5 b6
I think a Chessmaster would just develop
with 11 ... Nc6 and not worry about pawns.
12. dxc5 Bxc5 13. Be3 Re8 14. O-O-O
By contrast Anthea just develops and ignores the pawns.
Queenside castling with a pawn on a4 may seem strange to you
but I had to do the same thing against Anthea two Tuesdays ago
when I played the Crab against her. Castling is not free in the
Crab Opening - nobody is comfortable, that's the whole point.
14 ... Bxe3+ 15. fxe3 Rxe3 16. Nc4
While Timmy is measuring his pawns with a Raytheon slide rule
Anthea is busy improving the position of her horsies along the wall.
16 ... Re6 17. Nf4
The other horsey braces her hooves along the stable wall
and prances into the center ring, showing off her lacy bridle.
17 ... Re8
The Raytheon missle goes back to the launch pad.
18. Nxd5
Threatening that silly b6-pawn that cost Brennan his Queenside developmentas
well as the f6-knight and the e8-rook. Those pincers are too close for comfort.
18 ... Nbd7 loses material to 19 N:f6+ -
What's Timmy going to do?
18 ... Nxd5
Removing the obnoxious intruder but ...
19. Rxd5
Suddenly the e8-rook cannot be defended comfortably.
How Anthea routinely manages to move her rook pawns
and still get ahead in development is one mystery
that will stay in her secret chamber forever.
19 ... Qc8
19 ... Qe7 20 Re5
is no help
20. Nd6! Qc6 21. Nxe8 a6 22. Rd8
Anthea finds a pretty mate after 22 Rd8 ab 23 Nf6 checkmate!
Timmy wonders why his left arm is shredded and bleeding.
1-0 Timmy resigns again

Co-author Anthea Carson will also be there to autograph the books
This simul went the best - Anthea's book was the third best seller
in November for the Bookworm. Anthea was a great hostess and a gorilla
was on hand to help out. What made it wonderful was so many young children were
there pulling my tail, asking questions, touching my mane, following me around.
The store was very clean and well organized. They had a giant sign
out front daring people to - Play the Beast! They still stock the book.

Larry has two books.
Pray Andrea is there.
She's prettier.
This is the one I would most like people to buy from -
close to Ridge ( 7000 South) and Broadway.
Larry is a very old, grumpy New Yorker that reminds me of my Jewish Grandfather.
I would be very happy if people inundated him with requests.
He is convinced I won't sell any.

Don and Sue Gallagher
Sue Gallagher was a warm person -
I gave her husband Don 5 books -
he was very friendly too.
across the street at the Bookkeep I bought a lucky blue rock -
The woman there loves owls and her husband loves trains -
a very charming shop.
