(.((( Mar-10-09    jon01: <notyetagm: Kurnosov's list of crimes: 1) cheater 2) child abuser 3) beat Rihanna> Don't forget he is a drug user who avoided HIV through blind luck.

Stay out of this forum. Can't you tell it is about CHESS ? / Mar-11-09    Octavia: how come the women's aint here? Mar-11-09    DCP23: <Octavia: how come the women's aint here?> The women have their own separate European Championship, which is being held right now in St.Petersburg, Russia. Chessgames.com unfortunately did not make a page for that event. Mar-11-09    ppeti84: I love to see the Evans-gambit in the Petrosian-Volokitin game:) Mar-11-09    Octavia: <Chessgames.com unfortunately did not make a page for that event.> i suppose that's because they're supporting the world women's comp that is running at the same time. Mar-11-09    sisyphus: <I love to see the Evans-gambit in the Petrosian-Volokitin game:)> Volokitin uses the 5...Bd6 response I adopted after running it through an engine. Mar-11-09    DCP23: Ernesto Inarkiev proved too strong for the Kalmyk youngster Sjugirov. Mar-11-09    Davolni: <Octavia: how come the women's aint here?> WOMEN CAN'T PLAY CHESS!!! did you forget that? ;) Mar-11-09    DCP23: GM Inarkiev is now +5 -0 =1 after 6 rounds and has a perfomance rating of 2956. Mar-11-09    DCP23: Inarkiev is now leading alone and gets to play Volokitin with Black in the next round. There's a matchup on board 6 that could be of interest. GM Wojtaszek - GM Cheparinov. They are the seconds of Anand and Topalov, respectively. Mar-11-09    parmetd: my god 758 games!! anyone have a favorite or two I should look at? Mar-12-09    ppeti84: I thing Motylev-Nijboer was an interesting one, you should take a look at it:D Mar-12-09    charms: Navaras position against Meier looks terrific. Mar-12-09    waustad: What does it say about rating inflation that Jan Timman is so far down on the list sorted by highest achieved rating? He has been as high as #3 in the world according to Chessmetrics. Mar-12-09    PhilFeeley: Navara's position no longer looks terrific: click for larger view After Navara's 35. Kb3 Mar-12-09    khursh: Z. Andriasian and Van Wely reached a very interesting ending ! http://www.cgsah.org/live/26_30/ind... Mar-12-09    PhilFeeley: Yay! Tiviakov lost. Mar-12-09    Karpova: Volokitin-Inarkiev 1-0 Mar-12-09    PhilFeeley: <Karpova: Volokitin-Inarkiev 1-0> The live site briefly said 1/2-1/2 and I couldn't figure out why. The next minute they changed it. LOL. Mar-12-09    Karpova: Btw, Sjugirov won against Rodshtein Mar-12-09    CantoQ: Sjugirov put up another full point today. And Volokitin finished his Game off nicely for another win. This tourney has been fun to follow thus far. I never heard of Sjugirov before this touney, but I think now I might not forget him for some time. His chess is fun to watch. Mar-12-09    jon01: Damn it! Kurnosov lost today. Mar-12-09    sisyphus: <Z. Andriasian and Van Wely reached a very interesting ending ! http://www.cgsah.org/live/26_30/ind...; The R+P v B+N ending looks like the game I had published in the March 2009 Chess Life. Maybe the two pieces are better but it isn't easy to beat good defense. Jump to page #    (enter # from 1 to 12) < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 3 OF 12 ·  Later Kibitzing>
