| Aug-03-14 | | Conrad93: 47. Bh3 isn't that unusual.
This is easy to spot if you know your bishop vs. pawns endgames. |

 | | plang: ?!? yea right - anyone would have seen it |
|
| Aug-04-14 | | Conrad93: Anyone with knowledge about bishop vs. pawns endgames would have played this an instant. What seems amazing to us is relatively simple to a GM. |
|
| Aug-04-14 | | Jim Bartle: <Conrad93: What seems amazing to us is relatively simple to a GM.> Strange. Lots of GMs were astounded by this finish. |
|
| Aug-05-14 | | Whitehat1963: <Anyone would have seen it ..." Really? Good lord! I know my chess-blindness is well established, but I'm still trying to figure out how black wins in the final position. As for 47...Bh3, well, that's far beyond my vision. |
|
| Aug-05-14 | | Whitehat1963: I imagine someone of <Conrad93>'s vision would also have seen these finishes about 10 or 12 moves ahead: Topalov vs Anand, 2005
Karjakin vs Topalov, 2006 |

|
| Aug-07-14 | | Wyatt Gwyon: <<Conrad93><Anyone with knowledge about bishop vs. pawns endgames would have played this an instant.>> Wrong. |

| | perfidious: <Wyatt> That statement was so moronic that it was not worth a response--another day at the beach in the Kingdom of Southeast Idiotville: ruler, <Conrad the First>. |
|
| Aug-07-14 | | Jim Bartle: To my knowledge < conrad93> has never commented on a game in progress, despite many opportunities. If he did we would learn if he really could see what claims anyone could see. |
|

| | perfidious: <Jim> That would be a 2700-level treat. And I am not referring to the pearls of wisdom he would cast from On High, either..... |
|
| Aug-07-14 | | Wyatt Gwyon: <perfidious: <Wyatt> That statement was so moronic that it was not worth a response--another day at the beach in the Kingdom of Southeast Idiotville: ruler, <Conrad the First>.> This one is right up there with the en passant comment from a few months back. |
|
Aug-07-14
| | perfidious: <Wyatt> Is en passant that funny little move with that there pawn y'all make, like? Or was it a Freudian slip and did y'all mean <ein pissant>? |
|
| Aug-07-14 | | Whitehat1963: Not to get off topic, but does anyone have opinions on what games might have the most moves worthy of exclamations or double-exclamations on both sides of the board? |
|

 | | MarkFinan: R Byrne vs Larry Evans, 1965 Whitehat1963. In my opinion... This game. |
|
| Aug-07-14 | | Whitehat1963: <MarkFinan>, that's a very good candidate! Thanks! Others, anyone? |
|
| Aug-07-14 | | Whitehat1963: I'm no expert, but I think these are pretty remarkable: Topalov vs Kramnik, 2008
R Cifuentes vs V Zvjaginsev, 1995
Kupreichik vs Tal, 1970
Tal vs Geller, 1958
Tal vs Miller, 1988
Topalov vs Anand, 2005
Kasparov vs Topalov, 1999 |
|
| Aug-07-14 | | FairyPromotion: <Whitehat1963> Very interesting question! Though it penalizes miniatures a bit, I would like to see what other members think as well. The first game that immediately came to my mind was Serper vs I Nikolaidis, 1993, and as far as exclamations by single side are concerned I think it should be tough to beat. As for both sides filling the game with exclamations and double exclamations I'd say A Volokitin vs Mamedyarov, 2012 takes the cake. If you want to have a look at the draws as well, then Anand vs Topalov, 2005 is the obvious choice. |
|
| Aug-08-14 | | Whitehat1963: This one has some pretty jaw-dropping moves:
Geller vs Karpov, 1976 |
|
| Aug-08-14 | | Whitehat1963: I don't know how good it is on both sides, but for sheer entertainment value, it's hard to beat this gem, one of my all-time favorites: Marshall vs G Marco, 1904 |
|
| Aug-09-14 | | Whitehat1963: And here's one more:
Capablanca vs Marshall, 1918 |

 | | AylerKupp: <plang>, <Jim Bartle>, <Wyatt Gwyon>, <perfidious> Don’t you all know by now that <Conrad93> is a classic troll and is only saying things this to get a rise out of you? And this time he apparently succeeded. Remember: Don't feed the trolls. |
|
| Sep-02-14 | | Petrosianic: What's a Classic Troll, exactly? One who only trolls at 45/2 speed or slower? |
