Gates’ exit

In Virgil’s Aeneid the hero Aeneas escapes from Hades via one of two gates, one made of ivory and the other of horn. It is widely believed that he selected the wrong gate. As Homer had already established, the gate of ivory, which Aeneas chose, portends false visions, while the gate of horn heralds true prognostications. Last week Bill Gates flew into London to contest a game against the new world champion Magnus Carlsen. Although the game only lasted nine moves, Bill certainly chose the wrong gate to exit the game.

1 e4 Nc6 2 Nf3 Nf6 3 Bd3 d5 4 exd5 Qxd5 5 Nc3 Qh5 6 0-0 Bg4 7 h3 Ne5 This sacrifice is not sound. Instead 7 … Bxf3 8 Qxf3 Qxf3 9 gxf3 0-0-0 gives Black a great advantage in pawn structure. 8 hxg4 Nfxg4 (see diagram 1) 9 Nxe5?? Here 9 Re1 would actually give White a winning position since after 9 … Nxf3+ 10 Qxf3 Qh2+ 11 Kf1, White’s king easily escapes the danger zone.
