White against the Grunfeld - Page 2 - Chess and Board Game Strategy

Oops, I forgot the more famous game 8 of the 2012 WCC, where Vishy crushed Boris in just 17 moves; it featured 3... c5 and a normal Benoni structure that I mentioned.

Thanks for the feedback! Please choose the scheme at the Jinchess board composer that is the most pleasant to the eye or recommend some diagram generator that works with Java's latestupdate... The chessvideos.tv generates blank diagrams for me now when pasting a FEN and shows no pieces on the side that would be dragged onto the board manually

(Also, the replayer now fails to show a chess game until I click the 'Start' button.)

The blame rests exclusively on the borders, I guess*. The 2D version (plain color, alpha flat) is 100x better, preferable even to our durable workhorse cvtv.

*It could be worse, though. A lot worse. I feel the site needs to be reprimanded for enabling self-harmers.

Thanks for the tip, I'll change 'Aplha' to 'Alpha Flat' from now on.

Anyway, here's the replayer of the variation (I forgot to insert 6... Nxe5 7. Nf2 f5 and further moves as previously), but it fails to copy the position into the diagram generator (it produces a blank board instead).

Here's the PGN

Code:

[Event "?"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "2014.12.01"]
[Round "?"]
[White "?"]
[Black "?"]
[Result "*"]
[BlackElo "?"]
[ECO "E60"]
[Opening "King's Indian"]
[Time "16:09:50"]
[Variation "3.f3"]
[WhiteElo "?"]
[TimeControl "600"]
[Termination "unterminated"]
[PlyCount "22"]
[WhiteType "human"]
[BlackType "human"]

1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. f3 e5 4. dxe5 Nh5 5. Nh3 Nc6 6. Nc3 Nxe5 7. Nf2 f5 8. f4 Nc6 9. g3 d6 10. Bg2 Bg7 11. O-O O-O *

and the final FEN is

Code:

r1bq1rk1/ppp3bp/2np2p1/5p1n/2P2P2/2N3P1/PP2PNBP/R1BQ1RK1 w - - 4 12

Edit: the issue with cv.tv seems Chrome-specific. I'll migrate back onto Firefox now, where it works fine

Edit 2: the guilt might be on not Chrome itself, but on some anti-ad extension I've installed without knowing. Banners on 2+2 aren't shown to me in Chrome, and I thought they're gone permanently, but they're shown to me normally in Firefox.
