< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 4 OF 4 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jul-20-12    Midas Touch: Bh6 ... Jul-20-12    achieve: <Shams> You win the cake! - largest part at least ;) <Midas Touch: Bh6 ...> Good idea, but after f6 or even f5 Black seems OK. The trick here is to cement that F7 pawn, immobilize it, and then the threat over the b1-h7 diagonal can not be solved. More or less. There are lines where Black is just a piece behind, but the position is a mess. Jul-20-12    Eyal: A bit reminiscent of the famous Fischer vs Benko, 1963 Jul-20-12    achieve: Yes, with the rook playing a similar role on <f6>. You have a keen memory. Jul-20-12    waustad: Would anybody have expected to see Jobova in dead last? Jul-20-12    waustad: Giri won again in the Dutch Champs. 5.5/6 with one more round to go. Jul-20-12    achieve: Congrats to Giri, 3rd time Dutch champion, but I can't shake the feeling that his opponents really play below their potential. More likely is that I am mistaken. Chess at the top is about punishing mistakes, and Giri did just that this week. Jul-20-12    achieve: Ivanchuk - Sasikiran is mightily tense now at move 35. Chuky up a pawn/2, but down a nagging exchange: RR v RBN Jul-21-12    shivasuri4: <achieve>, you gave CG today's POTD! Jul-21-12    achieve: Yes, it's Saturday, 9:30 in the morning, and I just noticed... How the heck did that happen so fast? ;) Jul-21-12    waustad: Going into the final round Chuky is +3, Kamsky is +2 and Anna M and Sutovsky are +1. Chuky and Anna play in the final round. Kamsky plays Jobova. Jul-21-12    Everett: < Eyal: A bit reminiscent of the famous Fischer vs Benko, 1963> And a lot of other games, too, long before that one. Since it is called "Alekhine's Block" we might as well give the man his due. Game Collection: Alekhine's Block Jul-22-12    achieve: Brilliant Game Collection... the Block Sac Indeed one of many tactical (and positional) features. Jul-22-12    Shams: What happened to Jobava here? A disaster for him. Jul-22-12    brankat: A very fine performance by Ivanchuk. A good showing for Kamsky, too. And, certainly for Anna. Twelve decisive games out of 21. Jul-22-12    Marmot PFL: Top bad it wasn't rated. offhand I think Ivanchuk would move up to #6 and Kamsky to #11 (maybe these are too high but that's my guess). Jul-22-12    brankat: <Marmot PFL> <Top bad it wasn't rated...>? :-) Jul-23-12    blazerdoodle: surely he mean "too" Jul-23-12    HeMateMe: Why isn't this tournament rated? Jul-23-12    SimonWebbsTiger: @<HMM> It wasn't rated because of its non-standard nature! i.e. Long gone are the days of 150/40 with adjournments, so it was just a bit of fun with the old format. I bet Jobava is happy it wasn't rated too. :) Jul-23-12    HeMateMe: oh, forgot. There would be the russian team, analysing for Karpov... Sep-16-12    LIFE Master AJ: GO CHUCKY!!! Dec-21-16    Domdaniel: Was this experiment (classic time controls with adjournment) ever repeated? Or were these the last GM games to be adjourned? Dec-21-16    Eyal: <Dom> There was a second edition of this "Golden Classic" two years later - ACP Golden Classic (2014) ; but that's it, as far as I know. Dec-21-16    Domdaniel: <Eyal> Thanks. So the 2014 event probably had the last GM games to be adjourned? It didn't seem to make a great difference.
