White does not have time to benefit from weak dark squares around the black king.
If he had not castled and had a rook on h1, If the centre was fixed and he didn't have to spend time babysitting pawns, if he'd played h4, then it might've been an ok plan. In this case all it did was give black a few free moves. I wrote a post on it here: Just another chess blog: Search results for Karpov Korchnoi For example: [Event "2, Wch, Moscow cf ;MAINB"] [Site "2, Wch, Moscow cf ;MAINB"] [Date "1974.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Anatoli Karpov"] [Black "Viktor Korchnoi"] [Result "1-0"] [WhiteElo "?"] [BlackElo "?"] [ECO "B77"] [EventDate "?"] [PlyCount "53"] 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6 6.Be3 Bg7 7.f3 Nc6 8.Qd2 0-0 9.Bc4 Bd7 10.h4 Rc8 11.Bb3 Ne5 12.0-0-0 Nc4 13.Bxc4 Rxc4 14.h5 Nxh5 15.g4 Nf6 16.Nde2 Qa5 17.Bh6 Bxh6 18.Qxh6 Rfc8 19.Rd3 R4c5 20.g5 Rxg5 21.Rd5 Rxd5 22.Nxd5 Re8 23.Nef4 Bc6 24.e5 Bxd5 25.exf6 exf6 26.Qxh7+ Kf8 27.Qh8+ 1-0 By the way Frank, no that wasn't Carlos. This guy was unrated- I missed the Carlos game by accident. Tomorrow I have King Konig 19 Cavezza Paul 1708 2˝ 2 Konig Cesar 1980 Who plays my two least favourite openings! Dragon & French!

Hmmmmmmmm. Seemed like white got kind of flogged. Up to a point you had a good position but I think you tried too hard on the attack and when it evaporated your remaining position was left in ruins.
I guess my advice is to stay chipper and to kick butt next round!

PS. thanks for the lines Frank- I had a quick look through Fischer games he often plays an early h4 but I thought it was to stop g5 or something- with the Queen on c7 it didn't seem necessary. As for the rest, i'll take a closer look tomorrow!
tonight's effort was a little better: [White "He try to play Elie style but he no good at it"] [Black "me"] [Result "*"] 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 g6 3. Bf4 Bg7 4. e3 d6 5. Bd3 O-O 6.

My next opponent....
Kasparov, Garry vs. Heinecke, Víctor 2040 rated Heinecke... With black I can choose between the Lopez exchange or the closed Sicilian... two awful choices :S

(Qa1 clearly bollocks in that one but I was down to increments by then and basically lost.) (Bd7 also an eyesore) (g4 also clearly the start of a rancid plan..) (a5 may also have been unnecessary)
