	Carlos Torre - Anthony Santasiere, Dimock Theme Tournament, New York 1924
		Torre's exchange sacrifice clearly falls under the category of "real sacrifices," for it does not gain anything immediately other than the disruption of Black's King's field and, therefore, a chance to attack.
		Torre may have thought the idea was worthwhile for nothing more than its psychological effect.
		White's Queen attacks powerfully along the long diagonal and is well positioned to move over to the kingside along the third rank, so it is now too late for Black to return the pawn in order to mobilize his forces.

	More evidence of possible link between hearing loss and CVD
		Study participants with a history of heart attack were 80 percent more likely to have impaired cochlear function than those who had not had a heart attack.
		Women with a history of heart attack were 2.7 times more likely to have impaired cochlear function than women who had not reported a previous heart attack.
		Torre says this cross-sectional study provides preliminary evidence of an association between cardiovascular disease and abnormal cochlear function, particularly for women with a history of heart attack.

		Friday, NL manager Bobby Valentine launched a thinly veiled attack on Torre in a letter to Cliff Floyd, whose exclusion from the All-Star team created controversy.

	The Gambit Guide to the Torre Attack
		This is a critical try, because the move Bg5 removes the bishop from the defense of this pawn, and the Torre's rejection of an early c2-c4 means that white also does not have defenses of the pawn with the queen other than the somewhat passive Qc1.
		I can understand why some fl players have viewed this as an acid test: often the white Torre player is perceived to be a solid (if not passive) player, and white must act forcefully to show his compensation for the gambited pawn in these lines.
		This is clearly one of the key battlegrounds in the Torre, and the author doesn't skimp on its coverage.

		But Dave La Torre, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania State Corrections Officers Association, said that one guard was punched and other guards were splattered with inmates' blood while breaking up the fight.
		Following that attack, La Torre said, he suggested a lockdown and weapon search to prison officials, but said his request was rebuffed.
		La Torre claimed that six additional shanks were seized from inmates involved in Friday's fracas, but Scire said no weapons were found on those prisoners.

	Torre, 4 others ... - Jun. 28, 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		TACLOBAN CITY, Leyte -- Grandmaster Eugene Torre on Sunday defeated 14th seed NM Venerando Malinao of Ormoc City in 57 moves of an Owens Defense to remain on top with four others after the third round of the 2nd Gov. Remedios Petilla Invitational chess championship here.
		Torre, Asia's first GM, earlier outmaneuvered 37th seed Voltaire Sevillano of Cebu in 35 moves of another Owens Defense in the first round before beating 20th seed Carlo Magno Rosaupan of Zamboanga City in 54 moves of a King's Indian Defense.
		Torre now has 3.0 points, the same output of third seed International Master Richard Bitoon of Medellin, Cebu; fourth seed FIDE Master Fernie Donguines of Pasig City; seventh seed National Master Jerry Nodado of Cagayan De Oro City, and 71st seed Giovanni Tabada of Cebu City.

		Venegas showed signs of life in the 4th as he traded with De La Torre; having the quicker hands, he was able to outwork him on the inside.
		To his credit, Venegas sucked it up and engaged De La Torre in the final round but with neither fighter taking a step back and De La Torre the fresher of the 2; he was able to land the stiffer punches.
		He came looking to box and use a double jab to set up combinations but he was extremely tired a this point and had little choice but to trade with Ortiz when rushed and the 2 met in the middle of the ring again to unload their with punishing blows.

	The Gambit Guide to the Torre Attack
		The Torre Attack is a very attractive system for White as it allows him/her to set the agenda from the outset, preventing many counterattacking systems.
		It has quick-strike potential if Black is careless or unfamiliar with the subtleties."A couple of books dealing with the Torre came out early in the nineties, but this superb work by Burgess surpasses them.
		The Torre is a very flexible set-up and gives White good chances of having a pleasant initiative after 1 d4 Nf6 2 Nf3 e6 with 3 Bg5.

	Ask BACKSTAB
		I have stumbled onto the Torre Attack and have used it effectively on occasion against stronger players.
		Each of these are separate lines in the Torre, and in my mind, both are much more active for fl than e6.
		And if the problem is that you are missing tactics that are winning your pieces, this can be fixed by going over the "white to play and win" type of books...there are tons of them out there.

	Carlos Torre-Repetto vs Emanuel Lasker (1925)
		Torre must have had a concrete reason for not taking the pawn and I think you nailed it.
		21 b4 and Qf5 are based on general considerations: Black is trying to stop White`s dangerous K side attack and needs his queen to be near the action (it is the only piece that can come to the help of the king).
		She wrote to let him know that a play he had been working on for many years was finally going to be published.

	Anthony Santasiere - Carlos Torre, Dimock Theme Tournament, New York 1924
		But the Queen move is poorly considered, since it allows White to weaken Black's pawns and his castled position, after which White will have good targets of attack and a certain initiative.
		Likely Torre completely underestimated Santasiere's chances of developing an attack on the Kingside with Queens off the board.
		Santasiere's attack on Torre's damaged kingside pawns is quite similar and brings about the same result.

	[No title]
		The Gambit Guide to the Torre Attack by FM Graham Burgess, 1999 Gambit Publications, Softcover, Figurine Algebraic Notation, 192pp., $22.95 The system with d2-d4, Ng1-f3 and Bc1-g5, which is called the Torre Attack after Mexican GM Carlos Torre, is quite popular nowadays and the appearance of this new book reflects this fact.
		Secondly, I remember that somebody promised me that the Torre Attack would not require too much theoretical knowledge and thus I suspect that I am missing something here.
		The Torre Attack can be played against 1...Nf6 and 2...g6, as well as against 2...b6 and this is one of the main attractions of this system.

		Torre, who was born in Merida in the Yucatan Province of Mexico in 1904, moved with his family to New Orleans in 1915 and became one of the strongest players not only in America but, in the mid-1920s, the world.
		He had a spectacularly short career of just over two years as a professional that ended in 1926, aged 22 – yet during that glorious spell, he left behind a legacy of brilliance at the board.
		It is an excellent example of a well-played middle-game with queens on the board, in which the opposite colored bishops play an important role.

		Yes, the main line goes 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 e6 3.Bg4 and is categorized as A46.
		When fls second move is d5, g6 or b6 it is also called Torre Attack.
		I submit that this move is fine and white can even get a good attacking setup: for example: Rc1 Nxe5 dxe5 Nd7 Bxe7 Qe7 f4 c4 Bb1 f5 exf6(e.p) Rxf6 Qc2 Of course, fl can play different moves but it seems to me that ideas like Rc1, Bb1, Qc2 seem interesting.

	Chessville Reviews - Dealing with d4 Deviations - Fighting the Trompowsky, Torre, Blackmar-Diemer, London, Colle and ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The current move for White here (as given by, ironically, IM Andrew Martin on his new DVD on the Trompowsky) is the solid 3.e3., which Cox seems to concur with as the best move as he says it scores better in his database than does 3.e4.
		The Torre Attack had an undeservedly poor reputation for many years because most of the opening theory consisted of games in which lower-rated players tried it against higher-rated opposition in an attempt to avoid opening theory.
		Mark Hebden was by no means the first to play the move, but he and the late Tony Miles have been far and away the most devoted GM practitioners, so I’m going to name it after him.

		Playing fl, Anand faced the Torre attack by Morozevich and got the dynamic balance he was looking for without much ado in the early middle game.
		Signalling his intentions of a bloody battle, Anand castled on the queen side to invite Morozevich?s attack and the later did not quite handle it properly after a rather flashy piece sacrifice on the 16th move.
		Anand quickly regrouped his forces to stop Morozevich?s onslaught and later won another piece to turn the game decisively in his favour.
