chess opening #6185 (9)LA Open Annotated by byakuugan3 (1200): This was my friend Baker's game he played about six months ago. I think it was his best game, and he still brags about it today. This is horrible. Black should've played Nf6. Black is simply creating the same weaknesses as White, while White has the tempo. Baker sometimes experiments with gambits like f4 and d4. I wouldn't touch those positions and prefer to stay away from them. I like slower…Baker (18) vs. Twain Vinecour (18) |
chess opening #7129 (13)Gambito #317 Annotated by byakuugan3 (1200): Playing White is my friend Baker against a fellow tournament player. This was the first time Baker played him in a tournament and crushed him quickly. I think 1...c5 is more accurate because 1...e5 creates the same weaknesses as e4, while White has the initiative.
1...c5 is more imbalanced if you want a sharp game. Baker's favorite gambit is the danish (2.d4 exd4 3.c3!?) but he wouldn't play it …Baker (1985) vs. Marco (1654) |
