Nov-13-06 Tal Memorial (2006)

aw1988: Kramnik up against Topalov and Anand in 2006. Very interesting...
|
|
| | Nov-13-06 Kramnik vs Deep Fritz (2006)
| |
|
aw1988: You follow the Kasparov-Fritz mold.
|
|
| | Nov-13-06 Paul Morphy
| |
|
aw1988: Pro. Because while every amateur loves to look at Morphy's games and nobody else's, sigh, they were based on a more sound foundation than Anderssen.

| |
|
aw1988: As enticing as it may be, I'd be sorry if I wasn't a casual dipper.
|
|
| | Nov-12-06 Svidler vs Grischuk, 2006
| |
|
aw1988: Probably his stamina, I think he admitted this himself once. But that isn't usually health related.
|
|
| | Nov-12-06 Korchnoi vs Y Sakharov, 1965
| |
|
aw1988: ...and Korchnoi still wins. He should have tried Bxa3. Informant gives a '?!' but I think I could make it work. Any opinions?

| | Nov-12-06 Yuri Averbakh
| |
|
aw1988: I don't see why Averbakh's quote on Tal is taken so badly by talisman. Tal was always a playful person, it is not meant to say that he is less of a human being... it is endering, not spiteful.

| | Nov-12-06 Kramnik-Topalov World Championship Match (2006)
| |
|
aw1988: <OK, let's set aside Kramnik's previous behavior> Except that his previous behavior has mostly been stellar. Of course he has to play challengers but that doesn't mean we should set aside his earlier behavior - to put it that way sounds like we're giving him a second chance.

| | Nov-11-06 Leko vs Gelfand, 2006
| |
|
aw1988: <acirce> Rd7 Rxd7 Nxd7 Bh3
|
|
| | Nov-11-06 Rybka (Computer)
| |
|
aw1988: That's due to Rybka's superior play in general... I doubt Rybka played 2...e5 and thought okay, gotta get into a position with a mate in 18. Full congratulations to the developers and such and the usual praise that comes out of this situation but this mate argument is flawed.
