| Aug-14-03 | | Helloween: A nice attack and brilliant win for Wolff against the world champion. |
 |
| Feb-12-04 | | Whitehat1963: Kasparov loses with white in just 25 moves! |
|
| Feb-12-04 | | WMD: It should be noted that this loss occurred as part of a team simul against 6 of America's leading juniors, including Vivek Rao and Stuart Rachels. Kasparov won 4-2 overall. |

 | | technical draw: Whatever happened to Vivek Rao? He was supposedly world class material. |
|
| Feb-12-04 | | WMD: "IM Vivek Rao was a strong young talent about 10 years ago, when he quit chess to pursue higher education at Harvard University. After this he went to grad school and then moved to NYC and got a job on Wall St. The Tuesday Night Master events have gotten Vivek back into the chess fray, as he has started playing regularly again. There was a saying when Vivek was younger that went “What you say about Vivek Rao is what you say about theory now”. It’s great to know that chessplayers are also such talented poets, but the point is that Vivek is a heavy theoretician. He would tell me how he studied 8 hours a day when he was younger and thus had time to soak in all the latest theoretical developments." http://www.newyorkmasters.com/playe... |

| Sep-08-04 | | Whitehat1963: Player of the day's proudest moment? |
|
| Feb-27-06 | | agressivechess: Something that is very ibteresting is that Mr wolff would later go on to become a sort of second to Anand at a point of time and also is credited with one of the variations in the Sicilian Dragon-Soltis variation which Kasparov used to defeat Anand in the World Championships in 1995.Also the variation that Kasparov used was in fact the one which was improved by Patrick Wolff himself. Please correct me if I have mistaken it for somebody else |

14 Rb1, Qd2
what's wrong with that?
black earns a pawn! |
|
| Apr-08-06 | | atragon: itz2000: 13..Qxb2
14 Rb1, Qd2
After 13. .. Qxb2 14 Nxd5 and White is simply better |

| Oct-05-07 | | pawnofdoom: I think this was a simul by Kasparov, so that's probably why he played so badly |

|
| Feb-18-10 | | piroflip: N.B. For some reason part two does not show up in a search which is why I have included seperate links for each. |
|
| Feb-18-10 | | vonKrolock: <piroflip> Great stuff - thanks! <14.h4> White's position becomes soon quite hard to defend - maybe was therefore 14.h3 advisable instead |
|
| Feb-18-10 | | whatthefat: <piroflip>
Fantastic, I really enjoyed it!
Also, thanks for disabling comments. I'm not sure why, but youtube seems to attract the most ignorant, combative, and downright stupid posters on the entire internet. It's nice to not have such a nice video sullied by such nonsense. |
|
| Feb-19-10 | | piroflip: Yes whatthefat, the freedom of the internet is sadly, abused by the childish and the foolish. |

|
| Feb-19-10 | | coolthing76: <piroflip> Thank you so much for recording, converting, uploading and linking the videos. They are so interesting. |
|
| Feb-19-10 | | nelech: thank you very much piroflip for these very interesting videos . what happened with these american juniors ? Are they still playing ( especially Edelman !) |
|
| Feb-21-10 | | piroflip: many thanks for your comments guys.
as for what happened to them?
I guess they all decided that it was easier to make a killing (money) in the city rather than play chess for a living. |

| Feb-22-10 | | hstevens129: From Dennis Monokroussos' great blog, The Chess Mind: "The bearded fellow working with Kasparov is ChessBase's Frederic Friedel. About the players: Patrick Wolff, Ilya Gurevich and Alex Fishbein all became grandmasters. Gurevich even won the world junior championship, but both he and Wolff quit playing. Both work in the financial industry. Stuart Rachels didn't become a GM, but became an IM and won the US championship one year in a huge upset. Like his late father, he's a professional philosopher. Vivek Rao became an IM but quit the game to jump into the financial sector. Danny Edelman also made it to IM..and quit. I'm not sure what he does."
