Kibitzer's Corner
Jun-19-06   Chess Classics: I think I recall reading in an old column of Pal Benkos that when both sides have opposite colored bishops and rooks that the ending isn't neccessarily drawish (but of course if either pair of pieces are exchanged then the odds of drawing go way up.)

BTW, how old would Vishy be when this game was played? I have an informant from 1984 and I looked him up, we was rated U2400. When was his "big break"?

  Ron: <Chess Classics> From posting on Salov to now posting on Anand, maybe we should call you Anandzilla.

I tend to agree with Benko's comment.

Anand was born in 1969 so he was around 15 when he played this game.

Jun-21-06   Chess Classics: <Ron: <Chess Classics> From posting on Salov to now posting on Anand, maybe we should call you Anandzilla.> Ha, you noticed? Whenever I have too much time on my hands, I like to pick a player on kibitz upon his longer games.
