  chancho: Poor Nimzo was wailing during the Bled tournament and saying: He's (Alekhine) treating us all like patzers!
Jan-04-08   Jim Bartle: Sort of like Roddick and a few others are saying about Federer these days...
Jan-04-08   Shams: <Jim Bartle> Roddick:Federer::Shirov:Kasparov. Terrible match stylistically.
Jan-04-08   Jim Bartle: True, but both Roddick and Shirov have plenty of company.
Jan-05-08   Youjoin: <Shams> In our country we call that a "nemesis".
Jan-05-08   Jim Bartle: Actually Federer does have a couple of "nemeses," the Argentines Nalbandian and Caņas.
Jan-05-08   Youjoin: <Jim Bartle> Thanks to God
Jan-05-08   Youjoin: <Jim Bartle> Just for curiosity: do you have the ņ (eņe) in your keyboard?
Jan-05-08   Jim Bartle: Yes, I have the option for a "Spanish" keyboard, which has the ņ under the right pinky finger (: on English keyboad. Also, accent to the right of p, upside down exclamation points and question marks, etc.

Also, I forgot Federer's most obvious nemesis: Rafael Nadal on slow courts.

Jan-05-08   Youjoin: <Also, I forgot Federer's most obvious nemesis: Rafael Nadal on slow courts.>

Yes, Nadal is a nemesis for Roger in the brick dust (or you call it lawn?), but Nalbandian is a nemesis in Rogerīs favorite carpet, the hard surface.

Jan-05-08   Jim Bartle: Brick dust is a translation of "polvo de ladrillo", right? In English we just say clay courts, or red clay courts to differentiate it from green clay (Har-tru).
Jul-05-08   Morten: Alekhine's Gun also occured in his game against Winter at Nottingham 1936.

Powerful stuff.

Oct-08-08   ArturoRivera: In this variation i think black clearly qualize in simple fashion: 1.-e4 e6 2.-d4 d5 3.-Nc3 Bb4 4.-e5 c5 4.-Ad2 cxd4 5.-Nb5 Bf8! and white has no advantage after all.

A player with genius,talent and fame
As controversial as the great Alyeckin-

Alkie fan

Oct-30-08   patzer of patzers: I'm totally ignoring the position (i couldn't analyze something to save my life), but why does Alekhine play 21.Rc2 instead of Rc3? similarily, why 23.Qe3? doesn't this waste moves?
Dec-03-08   withingrace: lol this is the first chess game i ever took the time to memorize.
