< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 109 OF 109 ·  Later Kibitzing > Mar-06-08    dalbertz: What I'd like to know is... Why is the WHITE rook dancing? :) Mar-06-08    The Chess Express: If it were my call I'd do away with the dancing altogether. Why is it necessary to gloat? Mar-06-08    zanshin: <TCE> I agree. Maybe if enough of our Teammates spoke up, we could ask <CG> to get rid of it. Mar-07-08    ganstaman: There's always a dancing rook above all the team games if you view the page with the url /perl/challenge?gid=... However, if you instead view it as a normal game, as in /perl/chessgame?gid=... then there's no dancing rook. So if you have a link somewhere, you can update it. Just don't look for the game from the challenge page (/perl/challenge). Note: All URLs that I refer to have www.chessgames.com in front of them. Mar-07-08    al wazir: I don't mind the dancing , except when it has Topalov's face. That really bugs me. And not because I have anything against Topalov. It's just that there's never any other face in the tower! Mar-07-08    OhioChessFan: The Dancing Rook inspires me to work harder to win next time. Mar-07-08    jepflast: I don't mind it being there, but I do kinda wish they would update it. Let's face it: it's a pretty low quality image. Mar-08-08    OhioChessFan: Per pages 84 and 85, did anyone on Team Black work with your response to 25. Qd2? Mar-08-08    zanshin: <OCF> I'm pretty sure we did not cover <25.Qd2>, and that no analysis was posted for this move. If <Touch of Knight> is still reading this forum, he may have analyzed this option. If he did, I don't think he posted the lines. Mar-09-08    Touch of Knight: I have consulted my notes, and I can’t find any analysis of 25.Qd2. Apart from 25.Kb1, the move that was played, I concentrated on 25.Qf1 and 25.Qe1. Surely 25.Qd2 would have been a surprise. Mar-09-08    just a kid: When is Team White going to play Team Black in regular chess? Mar-10-08    zanshin: <just a kid> <CG> said "soon". I'm not sure which Teams they will keep though, the Fischerandom, or the last Team White vs Team Black game. I just hope they start it sooner than later. The GMT game feels like it has been going since the dawn of time and will end soon after the Second Coming. ;-) Mar-10-08    plang: <and will end soon after the Second Coming.> Can you give me your best estimate? I need to prepare. Mar-10-08    zanshin: Like a thief in the night <plang>, and yeah, me too ;-) Mar-10-08    just a kid: <zanshin>thanks.=) Mar-11-08    D.Observer: Is black winning after 34. Bxd3 Qxd3+? Mar-11-08    The Chess Express: <scholes: Analysis by Rybka 2.3 mp 32-bit (27-ply): 1. (-6.72): 34.Kc2 Rd4 2. (-7.47): 34.Qe2 Rd2 35.Qxg4 Qxg4 36.Rxg4 Rxd1+ 37.Kc2 Rd6 38.c5 Rf6 39.a3 Bxf2 40.b4 Bxc5+ 3. (-8.86): 34.Bxd3 Qxd3+ 35.Kc1 Bg5+ 36.Kb2 g3 37.Rxg3 Qxg3 38.Qe4 Qf4 39.Qxf4 exf4 4.

Apr-30-08    Pianoplayer: It's ovah May-24-08    OhioChessFan: I sure wish we'd tried 25. Qd2 Jul-05-08    mmmsplay10: What was the purpose of 6.h5? Jul-05-08    VinnyRoo2002: I was wondering if there was any update on a normal chess game between Team White and Black? Also, I was curious how you become a member of a team. I am not the strongest player in the world, but if Team White needs some assistance, I'd be more than happy to be apart of the team. Thanks! Jul-20-08    The Chess Express: <VinnyRoo2002> Here's the link. Chessgames Challenge Join The Battle of the Brains II. Dec-22-08    Domdaniel: <mmmsplay10> - <What was the purpose of 6.h5?> I wasn't a participant, so this is purely speculative analysis. But black had just played the pre-fianchettoed bishop from h8 to g7 - not a very useful move in itself, but suggesting a plan to castle kingside (into the standard castling formation). With that in mind, h5 is a standard attacking move against a castled king - or an attempt to dissuade black from castling on that side. Which it did. It might have been better to wait, see if black played ...0-0, and then play h5. Dec-24-08    WhiteRook48: why is that rook dancing its very annoying Jan-03-09    The Chess Express: Yea, I don't like it much either.
