 | | TheAlchemist: The practical demonstration that Money isn't everything. |
 |
| Oct-31-08 | | Whitehat1963: Dog gone it, <Alchemist>, you beat me to it! But in the words of the immortal philosopher, Cindy Lauper, "Money changes everything." |
|
| Oct-31-08 | | Whitehat1963: Monday puzzle after 35...Qb7. |
|
| Oct-31-08 | | Whitehat1963: The fundamentals of the economy are strong. Too bad Money was weak. |
|
| Dec-23-08 | | WhiteRook48: What do you call this? A three-cent bishop on g7 for a one-cent pawn? |
|
| Jan-07-09 | | WhiteRook48: after 36...Bxg7 what's the follow-up? |
|
| Feb-01-09 | | WhiteRook48: never mind, I figured it out, 37. f6!! |
|

 | | Phony Benoni: Is it significant that the game was played in Reno? |
|
| Mar-21-09 | | WhiteRook48: Money is not good at chess; he bet too much that he would win |

 | | whiteshark: Fame is failure disguised as money. |

 | | al wazir: White's rating was 800+ points better than black's. Under the circumstances, any other outcome would have been startling. |
|
| May-06-10 | | melianis: "Greek money" |
|
| May-06-10 | | NewLine: 34... a5 is one of those moves when the player was probably thinking: "<OK, let's just pretend that nothing is happening in the king side la la la la la... <35.e6> everything's fine...Qb7 nothing is happening... <36.Bxg7> ...OUCH!!!>" |
|
| May-06-10 | | abstraction: "Rozentalis and Geldenstern are dead" |

 | | prn: OK. So 36...Bxg7 37. f6 fxg6 Then what?
38. Qxg7+ qxg7 39. fxg7 Kxg7 doesn't seem very impressive. 38. f7+ Kf8 39. fxe8=Q+ Kxf8 leaves White up the exchange, but Black has an extra pawn and the Black pawns look like they should provide a good deal of play. I'm not saying that I think I'd win against Rozentalis as Black from that position, but I'm not convinced that Money needed to resign when he did. Is there something obvious that I've missed? |
|
| May-06-10 | | vodkaboris: 40. Bxb5+ destroys the black position. 40...Qxb5 41. Qxg7 with 42. Rf8# (40...Ke7 41. Qxg7#) |
|

| | prn: Thanks, vodkaboris. Good point. |
|
| May-06-10 | | desiobu: One line from Crafty:
37. f6 fxe6 38. f7+ Kh8 39. Qh4 h6 40. Rf6
click for larger viewI think black has to give up the queen to avoid mate. |
|

 | | alexrawlings: <prn> I think your line should read 36.. Bxg7 37 f6 fxe6 And then after 38 f7+ instead of 38.. Kf8 Black could also try 38.. Kh8. How would white have continued? |
|
| May-06-10 | | TheTamale: Eduardas vs. Money? Eddie Money. |
|
| May-06-10 | | newzild: A pretty weak game of the day.
Isn't there a world championship match happening somewhere? |
|
May-06-10
 | | kevin86: Too bad! Much of black's army have left the king astray. |
|
May-06-10
 | | MrMelad: thanks desiobu, it shows the position is helpless for black, very good play with 36.Bxg7 and 35.e5 |
|
| May-06-10 | | I play the Fred: Why not instead, "Show Me D Money"? |
|
May-06-10
| | whiteshark: or <throw money around> |
