The Gambit Player

                           by Lee Edwards


      Against Petroff's Defense, the Urusov Gambit:  1. e4, e5; 2. Nf3, Nf6;
3. d4, exd4; 4. Bc4, Nxe4; 5. Qxd4 is quite playable. This gambit may also
arise from the Bishop's Opening.  Another interesting attempt in the Petroff
is Cochrane's Gambit: 1. e4, e5; 2. Nf3, Nf6; 3. Nxe5, d6; 4. Nxf7!?

      Your opponent may stare at you in disbelief before taking your Knight
with his King.  Everybody knows that the GMs usually move the Knight back to
f3 or once in a blue moon to c4, but they never try the rash attack on f7.
Even if you are playing by mail, your opponent may not be able to find this
move or, better yet, he may find a few lines of misleading analysis. Schiller
and Benjamin say that the Cochrane "has recently been seen hovering on the
fringes of respectable tournaments."  The gambit may not be quite sound, but
it is very dangerous for the unprepared Black player.

      The Cochrane is named for the 19th century Scottish lawyer John
Cochrane.  Cochrane spent much of his chess career in India, where he edited
a chess magazine.  Devotees of the Indian and Pirc Defenses may be familiar
with his games against "the Brahmin" Moheshunder Bonnerjee.  Cochrane's
conception in the Petroff was originally rejected because after 4. Nxf7,
Kxf7; 5. Bc4+?!, d5!, 6. exd5, Bd6, Black has three pawns for the piece but
gets nowhere because of the blockade.  Then Bronstein resurrected the move 5.
d4 and Black had better not even think of playing Nxe4?, which at least
results in the immediate return of the piece, or even worse something like 6.
Qh5+, Ke7; 7. Qe2, d5?, 8. Bg5+!

      So what is Black's best plan after 1. e4, e5; 2. Nf3, Nf6; 3. Nxe5, d6;
4. Nxf7, Kxf7; 5. d4 ?  You may see such amazing moves as 5. . ., Qe8, Qe7,
Be6, c6, d5, Bg4, Nbd7, and even b5!?, but basically Black has four 
defenses. First, most books give the defense 5. . ., Be7; 6. Nc3, Re8;
7.Bc4+, Kf8,  but I don't think this is particularly good for Black.  White
should castle Queenside, keep the enemy King bottled up on f8, place the
Queen or a Rook on the f file, and try to impale the Black Knight with g5. In
a Russian postal tournament, White won slightly more than half the games in
this line, with Black winning only a third.  Second, Black can fianchetto the
Bishop with 5. . ., g6; 6. Nc3, Bg7; 7. Bc4+, Be6; 8. Bxe6, Ke6; 9. f4, Kf7
as in Vitolins-Anikayev, 1979 and Makropoulos-Toth, 1981.  This is better
than the first plan, but what does Black do with his King? The answer seems
to be that his best defense is to fianchetto the King with something along
the lines of 5. . ., g6;  6. Nc3, Kg7; 7. f4, d5; 8. e5, Ng4; 9. Qf3, Bb4 and
White continues with a pawn storm. In the Russian tournament, Black won 51%
and White won 37% from this line.  The fourth defense is 5. . ., c5; 6. dxc5,
Nc6; 7. Bc4+, Be6; 8. Bxe6+, Kxe6; 9. 0-0, d5; 10. e5, Ne4; 11. Qg4+, Kf7,
with an unclear position.  Domsgen, writing in Gambit Review, seems to 
consider this the modern main line.
