Dec-18-07   square dance: <This is <sq> once again. I'm so convinced this guy needs to go to school and to my ignore list.> i think its you who needs to go back to school for not recognizing irony. you should read up on that.

<Well since both played Kasparov where one lost and the other won. I made a comparison and the rest just followed. What's wrong with that ?> i guess you just want to play games. i think you know what is wrong with what you did. btw, go ahead and put me on your ignore list if thats what you want to do. i won't do the same to you though, i'd hate to miss out on all of your brilliant 2111 insights. forget informator GM analysis.

Dec-18-07   sheaf: <2111.> i seriously doubt that. anyway, thats not my concern.. it was indeed pointless to attack kramnik by calling him 'lucky', kramnik was not particularly lucky but he worked really hard for the match, kasparovs comments are as usual very theatrical.
Dec-18-07   KamikazeAttack: On a side note, why do peeps have to announce that someone is going on an ignore list??? Especially to the person being put on ignore? As if they need you "lack of ignore" to buy food at the store lol. This is so stupid.

If u wanna ignore, then ignore and get a move on. Like we care.

Dec-18-07   Hesam7: <Kasparov said after the match that this game "killed Anand" - as it made him lose his respect for Kasparov and assume that the match was practically over. He thanked Dvoretsky specifically for giving Anand this idea.>

Others have pointed out this as a joke but it seems to me that Kasparov is hiding the fact that during the match Anand beat his preparation in Najdorf (remember Kasparov had a lost position in game 3). This game accomplished something that never happened again: Kasparov abandoning Najdorf.

  hitman84: This is in response to acirce I missed his argument in midst of <sq>'s so called arguments. This guy always sucks up to acirce and its difficult to answer when you are 1 on 2.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/mai...

<Raymond Keene, match director for the Brain Games world championship, has known Kasparov for 20 years and written three books with him. "It is very hard to work out what has gone wrong with him," said Mr Keene. "From the start he looked as if he was in trauma of some sort. He is playing much less aggressively than he normally does and he is making less informed choices.">

<Friends know that his custody battle with his first wife over their seven-year-old daughter is causing him deep concern. His ex-wife now lives in America and is suing him for increased maintenance for the child, who was born in 1993 when Kasparov defended his world title for the fourth time, on that occasion against Short. Unusually, Kasparov's second wife flew to London a few days ago to be at his side, fuelling the rumour that his off-board problems were affecting his game. >

<Hesam 7>Yes that's a silly statement and acirce just quoted that and left it. Glad he agreed that it was a crazy statement later.

<i seriously doubt that.> I have a player page on this site and that's my current Fide rating. My highest is 2123. I don't like to brag or anything, but that's an achievement for the time I put into chess.

I apologize for the off-topic posts.

Dec-18-07   chessmoron: you still need 18 more games to be listed in fide.
Dec-18-07   square dance: <This is in response to acirce I missed his argument in midst of <sq>'s so called arguments. This guy always sucks up to acirce and its difficult to answer when you are 1 on 2.> i think its funny that your arguments have basically consisted of personal attacks and bragging about your gigantic 2111 rating, which is only something to brag about only if view yourself as a 1950 or something. but, to address your point, i responded to your kramnik bashing, which actually had nothing to do with <acirce>'s post, or this game in any way. oh, and in response to the article, is it possible that kasparov was in distress due to the fact that he was losing the match? and lastly, it doesnt seem as though its "1 on 2" since no one seems to agree with your kramnik bashing. acirce and i were just the first two to respond to that nonsense.

  veigaman: Kramnik beat kasparov because he outplayed kasparov in that match, easy!

Kasparov beat anand in 1995 because he won more games than anand, easy!

SO, the rest is history!

Dec-18-07   Petrosianic: <Kasparov beat anand in 1995 because he won more games than anand>

That is the key to winning, isn't it?

  hitman84: <veigaman>Yes what you say is true! But both Kasparov and his pupil are expert at making excuses when they lose. Kasparov backed it up by dominating the field in almost every tourney he played which comprised of top players. Kramnik is yet to show his "dominance" before he can start speaking like Kasparov.

Here is a book written by Patrick Wolff(one of Anand's seconds in this match.) http://www.amazon.com/Kasparov-Vers...

Here is a nice summation of the match..
http://www.mark-weeks.com/chess/95k...

BTW I read somewhere that by drawing the first 8 games they both set a record for the most no. of consecutive draws in a WCH match. Could anyone confirm ? This victory surely brought relief to the spectators.

Dec-19-07   square dance: <BTW I read somewhere that by drawing the first 8 games they both set a record for the most no. of consecutive draws in a WCH match. Could anyone confirm ? This victory surely brought relief to the spectators.> i suppose the first karpov-kasparov match is before your time. the 8 consecutive draws is probably a record from the start of a wc match.
Jan-19-08   mr j: Eurosport commentary on this game is so bad it is great :)

  hedgeh0g: <If u wanna ignore, then ignore and get a move on. Like we care.>

Ideally, yes, but that's not how ignoring/blocking systems usually work on the internet. In practice, most people simply use them as just another tool in prolonged arguments. The announcement of the block/ignore serves to convey the poster's dislike of a particular user to everyone on a message board, although the block/ignore itself is quite seldom used.

Ultimately, people are just too curious to read what others write about them.

Jun-28-08   jokerman: i've been looking at move 17.b4 for about 15 min. and i couldn't see why kasparov didn't play 17... Qxb4. Now i understand, so for the players who want to know:

If 17... Qxb4 18. Rab1 now black has 2 replies:

1) move queen to 18... Qa5 white wins with 19.Bb6 winning the queen.

2) move queen to 18... Qa3 white wins with Rb3 winning the Queen.

Jul-23-08   Woody Wood Pusher: Kramnik was such a coward not to rematch Kasparov.
Aug-17-08   Cactus: <hitman> If he's on your ignore list, why are you responding to him? <Woody> It's really pathetic that you say this, especially because I've explained this to you before: a) Kramnik and Kasparov both agreed before the match that there would be no rematch, and a rematch would make liars out of both of them b) Kasparov chose not to enter the Qualifier. Please stop posting trash! You said that garbage before (numourous times) and I've corrected you, so don't do it anymore (and I don't understand why you posted that here. Do you go to Steinitz-Zuckertort games and say 'I hate Kramnik!'?)

  seagull1756: Looking at some of the comments here I feel obliged to make a very important and personal announcement: I hate onion soup. With passion. I insist - it is simply disgusting. Once again: ONION SOUP IS HISTORY
Aug-28-08   VaselineTopLove: This game reminds me of a similar previous encounter between these two -

Anand vs Kasparov, 1991

Sep-07-08   Cactus: <Seagull> What!?? Hate onion soup! You are <ASKING> for my ignore list. :)
Sep-12-08   DoubleCheck: im thinking something like;

36... Qc8??
37. Qxc8 Rxc8
38. Kxg3

36...Rxh3+
37. gxh3 Qe5+
38. Kh1 Re8
39. d7 Qe4+
40. Qxe4+ Rxe4
41. d8=Q

Before that...
31... Re7
32. Qb5 e3
33. Rg1

I think moves like 16... Bc6 (passive)and 27. Rd5 caught black offguard in terms of time and position. Great game nonetheless

Nov-02-08   Kasparov Fan01: Is this the last time Anand beat Kasparov in classical?
Nov-03-08   littlefermat: Yeah it was. According to the database, he won a couple of of games but none were at classical time control.
