kibitz01.txt Was it the morning's first ray of sunshine gleaming in through the shutters?..." Dracula then flees in the shape of a bat, the Frankenstein Monster plays 38 Kg4 and duly wins on time in an utterly lost position. The whole variation is not recommended for White.' Of course, Mieses fails to pinpoint White's best approach and it is only with the development of the 11 d3 line that the first player began to score successes in the variation. This is not primarily a theoretical article, but I may return to look at the variation in detail in a subsequent Kibitzer column. www.chesscafe.com /text/kibitz01.txt

Talk:Frankenstein-Dracula Variation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Seriously, an obscure variation in the Vienna game does not really merit more than a short article. As for being too technical: I don't think it is too technical for anyone who understands chess notation, and these are the only ones likely to be interested in such an article. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Talk:Frankenstein-Dracula_Variation

kibitz21.txt Of course Dracula (who plays Black in my story about this variation) and the Frankenstein Monster would not be seen undead playing moves like 5 Qxe5+ so the main line continues 5 Bb3 Nc6 (offering the pawn back by 5...Be7 is another story, which can be told next month). However, it seems these games are not the last word because Timmerman (the world's highest rated correspondence player) subsequently lost in the variation when he tried to repeat his line in a 1993 Dutch league match. I explained how the variation got its name and looked at some examples but I did not really look closely into the theory. www.chesscafe.com /text/kibitz21.txt

Cardoza Publishing The mighty Dragon Variation of the Sicilian Defense is one of the most exciting openings in chess. Instead of memorizing a jungle of variations, you learn the important ideas behind the opening, and how to adapt them at the chessboard. Each gambit is covered in detail with a diagram showing the standard position representative of the gambit, the move orders taken to reach there, and an explanation in plain language of the thinking behind the moves. www.cardozapub.com /new/chess_openings.htm

nic.htm The Exchange Variation of the Queen's Gambit Declined is an attractive choice if yoy are playing White and an exciting challenge if you face it as Black. In Yearbook 55, the Traxler Variation received a mortal blow, so star contributors Peter Lukacs and Laszlo Hazai thought this might be a good time to deal the Fritz and Ulvestad Variation a sucker-punch as well. The Rubinstein Variation of the Nimzo-Indian is the home of several types of position. users.tpg.com.au /adsl279h/NIC/nic.htm

John B. Henderson: Chess News October 2001 WHEN those two masters of the macabre, Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi made their first movie together after the success of Frankenstein and Dracula, it was to appear in the 1934 Universal classic, The Black Cat. Although both played without the make-up that they became synonymous with, the image of the Frankenstein Monster and Count Dracula being involved in a game of chess is something that happens more often than you would think at the board. However, the variation named after the two horror monsters became more famous after he subsequently wrote an article on it in the December 1978 edition of BH Wood's monthly magazine CHESS. www.rochadekuppenheim.de /heco/ar0110.html

kibitz21.txt MY VERY first Kibitzer column dealt with the sharp opening line which, many years ago, I called the Frankenstein-Dracula Variation because of its hair-raising and bloodthirsty nature. By the way, Gary Lane's 1993 book "Winning With The Bishop's Opening" does not deal with this line at all, evidently considering it to be a Vienna, but the variation is covered in "The Complete Vienna" by Tseitlin and Glazkov (1995). This is to be found in ECO code C27 and it can be reached via either the Bishops Opening (1 e4 e5 2 Bc4 Nf6 3 Nc3) or the Vienna (2 Nc3 Nf6 3 Bc4). www.chesscafe.com /text/kibitz21.txt   (1596 words)

Chess openings: Vienna Game (C27) I must mention though, that this variation (Frankenstein-Dracula) very rarely comes up in my games- i have never played it in a tournament, so it is hardly worth studying all the theory, unless you have lots of time. The king is an active piece in some lines of the King's gambit and in the Steinitz gambit of the Vienna game. g3 is an interesting line of the Vienna which was used to great effect by Scottish GM Paul Motwani. www.chessgames.com /perl/chessopening?eco=c27   (1596 words)
