| Aug-17-09 | | returnoftheking: Did you figure it out with a help mate engine or was it 100 percent <yourang> ? I know those engines exist but I often wonder why.. |
 |
| Aug-17-09 | | Bobsterman3000: Even Karjakin, Alekseev, Eljanov and Aronian are still within striking distance at 4.5/8. However, out of this group I don't see Eljanov or Alekseev as capable of stringing together several wins in a row against this field... |

| Aug-17-09 | | randzo: Sergey is having good tournament here he has only 3 white pieces yet and won 2 games with them in Ruy Lopez he is killer in these Ruy Lopez closed positions.But as black he played 4 times qeens Indian.he played good with QID only lost to Leko in the opening with one move but i think that Sergey who is for example Najdorf expert should play something more sharp against d4 where he can prove he is great tactician.QID is something for more solid players like Leko or Karpov.I think he has good chances to improve in this touranment tommorow he has punching bag Inarkiev so go Segey !!! |
|
| Aug-17-09 | | returnoftheking: I totally agree ! Most QID's seem to give him not a chance on anything more than half a point. He also plays semi slav but that didn't give exceptional results either. A couple of days ago I looked up his record in the database with white in the Ruy and if you disregard special games (blitz, blindfold, rapid) he has a really devastating score. |

 | | YouRang: <returnoftheking: Did you figure it out with a help mate engine or was it 100 percent <yourang> ? I know those engines exist but I often wonder why..> They make helpmate engines?
But no, I did this myself. It's not that hard -- there's really just one checkmate position in K+N vs. K+N, so I knew what I was aiming for. :-) I make no guarantee that it's the fastest mate. In fact, I was trying to do it with somewhat credible-looking moves. Actually, all the moves are okay except of course the ridiculous <128.Nb1???>. |
|
| Aug-17-09 | | dunkenchess: WOW! Ivanchuk really won this round. He is on ups now in this tournament. |
|
| Aug-17-09 | | dunkenchess: When we are looking in a tournament, pls stop referring to rybka or any engine. It makes you feel like a child holding a lolipop and the other hand is holding the skirt of mother rybka. Learn on your own room with it.
hehehe... |
|
| Aug-17-09 | | dunkenchess: When we talk on what we are thinking about chess we know that we are live human beings. When we refer to rybka during plays, the thing makes us helpless and lifeless. It slaves us. Engines should be the robots not us. |

| Aug-18-09 | | arnaud1959: <dunkenchess> I don't mind people giving engine analysis. But I don't understand why some people comment it as if the engines were better players than those gm's. They only calculate a lot better and they have no ups and downs even when they play 10 hours. That's all. |
|
| Aug-18-09 | | Slaven MNE: <arnaud1959: They only calculate a lot better and they have no ups and downs even when they play 10 hours. That's all.> That's true, but these facts makes really big difference betwen engines and humans, and that's why engines are better players than humans. |
|
| Aug-18-09 | | dunkenchess: The engine says:)
What can you say:)
Can you say it?)
Engines are useful prior to a play, then shelve it during the play. During a play you use an engine, it is the one dictating you. |
|
| Aug-18-09 | | dunkenchess: I have a Fritz engine and it clobbered me a hundred times. I managed to draw only a few times. hehehe... |
|
| Aug-18-09 | | arnaud1959: I deliberately used the term "better player" and not "stronger". I would learn a lot more from a gm as a coach then then from an engine. Imagine that you play against an opponent who during a game has the right to look to all books of chess: Opening, endgame, databases etc. and he is allowed to go into another room to analyse his game by moving his pieces. He may win the game because of all those advantages he has. But it doesn't make him a better player then you. |
|
| Aug-18-09 | | jon01: Leko already blundered a pawn in the opening. |
|
| Aug-18-09 | | DCP23: <jon01: Leko already blundered a pawn in the opening.> They're still in theory. |
|
| Aug-18-09 | | dunkenchess: Kasimdzhanov is winning. |
|
| Aug-18-09 | | gus inn: Very interesting complications in Kamsky-Leko !.. It can really be felt that Leko has hired GM Gustafsson as coach. |
|
| Aug-18-09 | | gus inn: Aronian plays the same variation as Gelfand did .And Gelfand lost... to Aronian! |
|
| Aug-18-09 | | DCP23: <jon01: Leko already blundered a pawn in the opening.> This is Anand blundering in exactly the same way:
Kamsky vs Anand, 2009
This is Leko blundering in exactly the same way before!! Ivanchuk vs Leko, 2008
The guy just never learns, huh? |
|
| Aug-18-09 | | Mateo: <dunkenchess: Kasimdzhanov is winning.> Really? How? |
|
| Aug-18-09 | | gorash: <gus inn> He's more of a second than a coach, but nevertheless he's helping pretty much to refresh Peter's repertoire. Leko's official coach is still his father-in-law. |
|
| Aug-18-09 | | DCP23: Kamsky in some trouble already. |
|
| Aug-18-09 | | Troller: So according to statistics, Karjakin should win this one, seeing as he is White in the Ruy Lopez (against the tailender, moreover). In any case, he can keep complications for a long time, giving Inarkiev ample opportunity to blunder. Kasim seems to be in prep still, this must be a little uncomfortable for Chepa, even if he is not objectively much worse, if at all. |
|
| Aug-18-09 | | zemat: rybka says perfect draw for everybody (except +.46 for gelfand against alekseev)
and it's the same every day.
this shows the high level of preparation of the players for this tournament. |
