 | | tpstar: Lucky guy gets the thrill of his chess lifetime playing the mighty Kasparov (WC for 15 years at the time) despite being so fabulously inexperienced, then you Blue Meanies assign this 1360 fellow a double Question Mark for dropping 2 Pawns against a GM more than double his rating. Harsh. Given that vast differential, I am highly impressed by Kasparov playing such a conventional opening versus killing him with a King's Gambit or Danish rout. Yet if White was really competing, 12. Ba4 wins a Pawn (12 ... b5 13. Bxb5 Bd7), otherwise 13. b4 wins a piece. And check out 14. Bh4!? g5!? really winning a piece; White probably intended 15. Nf5 gxh4 16. Nxh6+ Kg7 17. Nxf7 busting it open. |

| | Bobsterman3000: BTW, black sure did waste alot of time moving his light-squared bishop around aimlessly, only to finally station it on a file already blocked with FIVE pieces... |

| | seoulmama: You shouldn't be too harsh on this guy. After all, he is only 1300+. It seems pointless to point out his numerous mistakes, because obviously there were too many, and they were too clear. Poor guy - he just wanted to play a game against Kasparov, and still he gets crushed verbally here, lol |

| | MoonlitKnight: Yes, I hope Tsekouras never comes across this site, poor guy. |

| | Whitehat1963: The sad thing is that even though I could see that 17...g5? was a huge mistake, I'm sure I would make one just as bad if not worse against Kaspy. |

| Aug-27-07 | | PAWNTOEFOUR: this is the very same reason why most guys don't play grandmasters or im's when they come to the cafe room on playchess...........they know they're going to get clowned......it's bad enough losing(even though you already know you'll lose) and then you have to get clowned on top of it too? |
