| LIFE Master AJ: <ChessLeader> I agree with your there ... it would be most interesting to pit (say) Spassky or Tal ... at the very top of their game against a modern player. But do us a favor, don't demean the modern players. In lieu of solid, scientific evidence, you have to consider modern players (Topalov, or even Kasparov) as good as Botvinnik or Tal. Give them - at least - the benefit of that possibility! (Many chess experts, thanks to advances such as the Internet, databases, and computers ... plus the explosion of modern chess theory ... believe that modern players are superior to players of say 50 years ago. However, I am pretty sure that I do NOT agree with this line of reasoning.) |

| Rama: Once upon a time, the magazine "Baseball Weekly" created teams of nine 'Babe Ruths', nine 'Ted Williams' etc., through the use of lifetime statistics. So you had Ruth at first, Ruth at second and so on; you had nine Ruths in your lineup, egad. This was another, different way in which they tried to get an idea of who was truly the best ballplayer of all time. Could something similar be done for chessplayers? |

| OhioChessFan: <Could something similar be done for chessplayers?> <Rama>, I recall a book that took 5 players-Alekheine, Lasker, Capa, Fischer and Morphy?- and compared them in different areas. Strategy, tactics, defense, etc. It wasn't worth the paper it was written on, since it tried to give each player an area they'd win. One point I think is missed is that the days of a Tal are probably gone now that computer analysis is here. Too many magical saves of hopeless looking positions have proven that there's nearly always hope, though it still must be found OTB. |

| OhioChessFan: A question to someone qualified. What exactly was Kasim thinking about for 80 minutes? Was he going thru a series of possible lines, move by move? Was he just working up the nerve to make the move? Something else? |

| bob000: SuperGM's don't play a move that looks good at the first possible moment. In particular, if the move is commital they they will analyze as deeply as possible since there is no turning back. In many lines where the amateur sees unclear, with compensation for material, the superGM evaluates it as clearly better for the attacker or the defender. |

| misguidedaggression: <tpstardefender> <You seem like a very nice person, when not dealing with them.> You really are new to this site! It's the other way around, trust me. In fact, I used to be a decent chessplayer. Now I just troll around the AJ Goldsby page waiting for a fight to break out. |

| kevin86: GOTD-a draw! A funny game with odd exchanges and stuff-but not worthy of a GOTD:( |
|
| Jul-24-06 |
| DCP23: <kevin86> <-but not worthy of a GOTD:(> For the record, my vote is for this game to be called Game Of The Year, certainly nothing less. I was fascinated beyond words when I saw this game in real time. |

| kevin86: After furthur review:this game does have a lot of luster to it! Especially the mate threat which forces white to give up the bishop: If 34  h3??  b2+ 35  a1 a2+ 36 b1  c3+ 37 c1 c2#or its echo:35c1 c2+ 36 b1 c3+ 37 a1 a2#
That in itself is rated a big applause! |

| PRYNCYPALIUSZ: Nice game. In my opinion English attack in Sicilian Defense is worst for black. |

| viv001: kevin86,if 36 king b1, Nc3+ then 37 R x c3???? |

| mistreaver: <SuperGM's don't play a move that looks good at the first possible moment.>
That reminds me on Tartakower's words:
" If you find a good move wait, don't play it.You might find better one."
Or was it Lasker's qotation i don't remember |
