In OmarLittle (Alexey) - Stukas, our teammate makes an interesting choice after 6...h6.  Alexey steers clear of what I might consider the natural 7.ef hxg5 8.fg Rg8 and plays, instead, 7.Bc1...  (The strangely common 7.Bd2... practically shows Black that he should play what is in that position the equalizing 7...Ne4, so I find it objectionable.) Notably, his opponent defends passively with 7...Nd7 (I think 7...Ne4 is stronger) and with 8.Qg4... Alexey is very strong.  Perhaps we should discuss the decision to seek the position after 7.Bc1 Ne4 8.Qg4 g6 9.Ne2 (or 8...g5 9.h4...)... instead of 7.ef hxg5 8.fg Rg8 9.Qh5.    While my own (defective?) intuition would have led me to prefer 7.ef, having seen this through I now think I prefer Alexey's 7.Bc1 ... even if Stukas had replied with the more aggressive 7...Ne4.  What do you guys think?

While we wait on the Kuku match, we might want to analyze OmarLittle (Alexey's) crush of Stukas' French Defense.  I've posted the game on Caissa for an easy link to the game.  Cut and paste the link above.

It looks like it will be a Sicilian for 100le...

Top rated Chess Match: Kuku2008 (2354) - 100le (2348)

Discuss this first board match as the King Stompers take on Serbia, and our own Kuku (#2 Chesshere) plays 100le (#3 Chesshere).

I will post the position periodically, if there is interest.  Everyone should comment as they choose.
