Mar-20-08		percyblakeney: Anand isn't bad at blindfold chess, and has won the blindfold section of Amber four times, but look at this and the previous games between him and Morozevich: Morozevich vs Anand, 2003 Anand vs Morozevich, 2004 Anand vs Morozevich, 2005 Anand vs Morozevich, 2006 Morozevich vs Anand, 2007 That's a total of five wins and one draw for Morozevich, and maybe the draw from 2005 is the best game of them all...

Mar-20-08		GMNick: Whoa! Anand was whipped by Moro again!

Mar-20-08		EXIDE: Does any player lose because of an illegal move ? It is amazing that they can play without looking at the board.

Mar-20-08		chessmoron: They have a board on the screen of their laptops. Just the pieces are missing.

Mar-20-08		malthrope: <EXIDE: Does any player lose because of an illegal move ? It is amazing that they can play without looking at the board.> <EXIDE> - I just answered your question ['illegal move') here - Amber Tournament (Blindfold) (2008) - (on page -26-) in reply to others asking the very same question! :) A very impressive Blindfold chess game by the great Moro! Now, if only he can add some points on his Rapids scoreboard! ;) - Mal PS: Thanks <percyblakeney> ! :) Yes that 'draw' was just incrediable! ;) [ Anand vs Morozevich, 2005 ]

Sep-13-08		notyetagm: 23 a4-c5 click for larger view White has an overwhelming 7(!)-piece attack againt an <UNCASTLED KING> in exchange for a mere pawn. Now that is what I call compensation. 28 f3-e5 click for larger view What an attack!

Sep-13-08		whiteshark: So, where are the improvements in this one? Maybe <16...Bg7>?
