Oct-13-04    capablancakarpov: Christian Bauer won yesterday,12th of October of 2004, The VI City of Bilbao International Chess Open, Swiss system to 10 rounds with 15 minutes for player to finish,ahead of such important names like Topalov,Ponomariov,Karjakin,Milov and Van Wely.Here are the final standings: http://www.jaque.tv/bilbao1004.htm Nov-01-05    iron maiden: Last week Bauer won a nine-round open tournament in Calviā, finishing a point ahead of a field including Paco Vallejo, Vladimir Epishin and Ulf Andersson. http://www.calviafestival.com/fiche... Jan-07-06    BIDMONFA: Christian Bauer BAUER, Christian http://www.bidmonfa.com/bauer_chris... _ Nov-22-06    crzyknight: does anyone have a 1..b6 game collection? Bauer has written a book on this opening and is supposed to be an expert on this opening! Nov-22-06    Archives: I heard he is related to Jack Bauer. Can anyone verify this? Nov-22-06    crzyknight: HAHA!!! Apr-18-07    SwitchingQuylthulg: Well I suppose that he himself has a 1...b6 game collection! I've studied his 'Play 1...b6' book which really does help you to understand what this move is about (even if I'm too weak a player to get all the benefits!). Last yesterday I managed to beat a much stronger opponent just because it was a very sharp variation and I knew what I was supposed to do - wouldn't have stood a chance if I hadn't known the variation. In short, this book is a very good introduction to 1...b6 - it doesn't have an in-depth look at quite everything of course but imagine a 200-page book about 1 e4 that tells you 90 per cent of what's useful to know! Looking at my recent games, I've gone for 1...b6 as Black in 59 out of last 60 games :) Jan-11-08    spirit: must be an experienced GM...wondering how the "lip balm girl" vanquished him with blac despite being more than 300 ELO below him.They say it must have been rybka...they say its in her lip balm...they say her bag is a modem..."kids beware!!!" Jan-11-08    Phoenix: I'll give you a clue as to how she did it: Bauer opened with 1.b4. Jan-11-08    SwitchingQuylthulg: Happy birthday to GM Bauer! Jan-11-08    DarthStapler: Isn't this the guy who Lasker invented the double - bishop sacrifice against? Jan-11-08    Manic: <DarthStapler> I'm not sure whether your comments were a joke or not, but I'll take them seriously. Christian Bauer was not even born when Lasker died. The person you are thinking of is Johann Hermann Bauer Jan-12-08    rover: So he had 100 years to find a reply and still lost the game? That's pretty bad. Jan-14-08    DarthStapler: I can tell I have a bad sense of humor when people can't even tell that my jokes were jokes Jun-10-08    stanleys: Got a draw against GM Bauer in a rapid game last weekend.He won the tournament anyway with 8 points from 9 Bauer(2619) - stanleys (2240) 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 g6 3.g3 Bg7 4.Bg2 0-0 5.0-0 d6 6.a4 Nbd7 7.a5 a6 8.d5 Nc5 9.Nc3 Rb8 10.Be3 e6 11.de6 Nxe6 12.Ra3 Ng4 13.Bc1 Nc5 14.Nd5 Nf6 15.c4 Nxd5 16.cd5 Re8 17.Bg5 Bf6 18.Bxf6 Qxf6 19.Qd4 Kg7 20.b4 Ne4 21.Rc1 c5 22.dc6 bc6 23.Re3 Qxd4 24.Nxd4 Rxb4 25.Nxc6 Ra4 26.Rd1 Bb7 1/2 - 1/2 Jun-10-08    stanleys: Some corrections to the move order: 9.Be3 e6 10.de6 Nxe6 11.Nc3 Ng4 12.Bc1 Tb8 13.Nd5 Nf6 14.c4 Nxd5 15.cxd5 Nc5 16.Ra3 Re8 Nov-07-08    Whitehat1963: Who knew Gary Bauer (such an obvious moron) could also be such a good chessplayer? Perhaps I'm confusing the two? Nah, I never do that! Nov-07-08    Phoenix: <Whitehat1963> May I redirect you to the Odd Lie page? It's right over here -------> Odd Lie ;)
