 | | LIFE Master AJ: <all> Thanks - a lot - to everyone for all the positive emails. (I got about six today.) Thanks to the individual ... who decided that I was such an important person ... that you had to quote me ... extensively. (And out of context, I might add.) In the future, I am not going to exchange harsh words - here - with anyone, I don't see that it has any positive effect. (I will just add you to the magic list, smile, and keep on trucking.) |
|
| Aug-31-05 | | aw1988: ...while annoying the hell out of everyone else |
|
| Aug-31-05 | | hayton3: I think we should start taking <Life Master AJ> a little more seriously. Not only has his website won several international awards but (and I'm sure he'll go all coy about this) he has won several international awards for his POETRY!! Big it up for Life Master Poet Laureate on dis link - check it http://www.angelfire.com/games3/lif... |

| Sep-01-05 | | aw1988: <hayton3> Once again, you display the sincerity of a horseradish. Just say the magic word, and you will be added. Because I'm a master for LIFE! QED. |
|
| Sep-01-05 | | hayton3: Nooo..please...nooooooo no more Life Masters :-) |

| Sep-01-05 | | MR. NIMZO: WOW! ! Ivan Sokolov could play some real good attcaking game! |
|
| Sep-02-05 | | MR. NIMZO: <LIFE Master AJ>
WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT MY COLLECTION?
Game Collection: ""MODERN - ROMANTIC - ATTACKING - GAMES"" |

| Sep-02-05 | | Averageguy: <<Koster> Take your meds today?>
LMAJ, don't joke about people with serious problems who need medication. Many people I know and am close to, including my father require medication and it is not a laughing matter. |

| | LIFE Master AJ: <Mr. Nimzo> Agreed - that Mr. Sokolov played a whale of a chess game. (Did you see my analysis?) I will attempt to begin looking at your game collection. |

| | LIFE Master AJ: <Mr. Nimzo> Your game collection is nice, many of the games I know nearly by heart. There were two that I was not really familiar with. The Karjakin game, (Karjakin vs V B Malinin, 2002); was nice ... the opening was "hairy." The game by Magnus Carlsen ended in a nice, but rarely seen mate. (It was a combination of an apaulette mate, with the two rooks blocking in the Black King, and the nice WR On g3 cutting off the BK's two remaining flight squares.) |

| Oct-19-05 | | Averageguy: Shirov gets a taste of his own medicine. |
|
| Jan-06-09 | | WhiteRook48: what a Qg7# threat! good game |
|
| Jan-26-09 | | WhiteRook48: and what a setback for Shirov |
|
| Jan-28-09 | | WhiteRook48: 41 Ne6 was surprising. I'm too much of a patzer to play that, I'd just play 41. Kxf3, but then again, I'm no Solokov |
|
| Jan-30-09 | | WhiteRook48: and amazing posting on page 1 |
|
| Mar-31-09 | | WhiteRook48: Who Soks? |

You have both been added to my ignore list.

I like you AJ, don't mind them. |

 | | perfidious: A fascinating game, in which immense complications result in a prosaic pawn-up endgame for White. <The <Great Narcissist>: <hayton and aw> You have both been added to my ignore list.> An act of supreme talent, don't you know.
<acirce: Alright. I think anyone who still have an ounce of respect left for this guy ought to read that page.
On homosexuals: <I cannot stand you, I think you are sick, warped and demented. It does not matter if you believe in the Bible, as I do ... or if you believe in (the) evolution (nonsense). Either way, you won't reproduce ... and you will die. (Thank God! And the sooner, the better.)> One suspects more than a trace of latent homosexuality within a person who would thus express his hatred. |

| Feb-20-13 | | howlwolf: Gee it is hard to avoid the AJ dialogues,which have the same attraction as a train wreck; both sides are what the kids I work with call messy. I think some of his chess analysis is good and certainly compares favorably with his poetry. |

| Oct-13-13 | | DrGridlock: <LIFE Idiot AJ> writes, (in 2005), "In the future, I am not going to exchange harsh words - here - with anyone, I don't see that it has any positive effect. (I will just add you to the magic list, smile, and keep on trucking.)" Promises ... promises :)
I came to this page hoping to find some good kibbitzing on the Sokolov/Shirov Botvinnik Slav game, and find 4 pages of 8 year old AJ rants. Some things never change. Moskalenko writes of this game, "Summary of the line with 11 a4: Probably White has no advantage. The game is quite forced here. But if a tactical genius like Shirov cannot solve all the problems over the board, then obviously some hard work at home just might pay off handsomely!" |
|
| Jul-08-21 | | Whitehat1963: What an excellent game and example of the Opening of the Day! Too bad so much of the commentary consists of jokes and personal insults. |

 | | plang: Going into the last (9th) round of this ten player round robin Sokolov was a half point behind Bologan; this win allowed him to tie Bologan for first. 9 exf is the main alternative to the main line 9 Nxg5. Sadler on the position after 11 a4:
"Instinctively, I have always found White's position repulsive here: he has given up two pawns and the bishop pair for seemingly only a negligible lead in development. However, this intuitive judgement completely overlooks the most important positional factor in White's favour: the extremely powerful knight on e5 which exerts great influence on both sides of the board." 13..bxc? 14 Qa4+..Kd8 15 Qa5+..Kc8 16 Ra4 would have won for White. 14..Bb4+ had been played in the draw Cramling-Ornstein Stockholm 2000-1; 14..axb was new. Sokolov's preparation had included 17..Bxg2 which he had calculated to a forced win for White; Shirov's 17..Bd6! turns out to be the only defense though it left Shirov way behind on time. Sokolov thought that 22..Qc1?! might have been the losing move recommending 22..Rh7 instead. 27..Qd6 would have been a tougher defense. Voted the 4th best game in Informant 93. |
