![]() Oakland scored twice off Gonzales in the first to take a 2-1 lead but went silent after that, losing to Seattle for the 20th time in 23 meetings. ![]() Suarez has 22 homers this season, his first with Seattle, and 151 since 2018, the most in the majors during that span. Suarez went deep twice off left-hander Cole Irvin (6-11), hitting a two-run homer in the fourth that put Seattle ahead 3-2 and then lining a three-run shot to center in the sixth to make it 6-2. The Mariners (66-54) are 37-15 over their last 52 games, best in the league over that span. Seattle maintained a half-game lead over Toronto for the AL’s top wild card spot. Marco Gonzales (8-12) allowed two runs over 5 1/3 innings and beat Oakland for the third time this season. (AP) - Eugenio Suarez homered twice and drove in five runs as the Seattle Mariners cruised to their fourth straight win, 10-2 over the Oakland Athletics on Friday night. To finish, Richard Pert’s game from the British.OAKLAND, Calif. I had to have at least one example by Mamedyarov and have added one, albeit just a blitz game. We begin with the stem game of the Keres Attack against the Scheveningen, followed by the stem game of g4 against the Semi-Slav. ![]() In the games analysed below, I’m looking at a selection of games with an early g2-g4, and I finish with an example from the British Championship of Black playing 3.g7-g5: an idea which totally discombobulated his opponent. And against the Sicilian, they nowadays sometimes play g4 before a black knight has even considered grazing the pastures on f6. It features in lines of the Queen’s Gambit Declined and in some English/Reti types of position. Today it’s become so common that when I watch Shakhriyar Mamedyarov play, I’m almost tempted to bet with myself when the bayonet will be deployed. But an early g2-g4 was extremely rare until Paul Keres introduced it against the Sicilian Scheveningen, and then decades later Alexei Shirov, after working with Alex Shabalov, launched it against the Semi-Slav. Of course, it was common in the Yugoslav Attack against the Dragon, and there was the Benko Gambit - well away from both kings. The other big push of the knight’s pawn was much less common in my own games and in general. Decades later, when our lord and master AlphaZero espoused this with such enthusiasm and artistry I was delighted. This was probably partly an homage to Bent Larsen, whose best-games book I read and reread as a kid - but I also just liked it. When I was getting established as a chess player all those years ago, I became known for pushing my rook’s pawns more than other people.
