| Nov-27-06 | | AdrianP: A more general point - it seems to me that the state of engines is that now not only (i) can they blow humans away in an open/tactical position; but also (ii) they have a reasonably understanding of positional motifs e.g. pawn weaknesses; minor piece imbalances. The target area for a human to exploit is now effectively reduced to positional nuances, rather than positional plans, and in particular, obtaining a positional imbalance in a situation where it is still possible to be flexible about one's overall set-up. |

| Nov-27-06 | | percyblakeney: I wonder if that adjournment right rule ever will be used. Analysing the position with the computer would be helpful, but first Kramnik must reach move 56 and maybe none of the games will be that long. |

 | | boz: I like the idea of taking Fritz out of book, but that doesn't have to happen on move 3. Kasparov was hasty. Kramnik's patience makes him a tougher opponent versus computers. |
|
Nov-27-06
| | boz: c5 is the critical square. |

 | | WannaBe: What are the advantages of being able to the monitor while in book? Both players have it 'programmed' into their head theories, can somebody possibly enlighten me on this? |

 | | acirce: <I wonder if that adjournment right rule ever will be used.> It was never used in Bahrain which was an 8-game match. |

 | | technical draw: <AdrianP> Um, yeah I do that all time. |
|
| Nov-27-06 | | artemis: boz: I agree, that Kramnik is a tougher opponent for a computer, but I will never forget watching Kasparov reduce fritz to moving pieces back and forth. that was priceless. |
|
Nov-27-06
| | boz: Fritz may try Nfd2 then Ne4. |
|
| Nov-27-06 | | Pawnboy: Ooh, Fritz is fiesty today. |
|
Nov-27-06
| | boz: <artemis> Yes, Kasparov has outplayed these brutes on many occasions, much to humanities delight. |
|

 | | Eyal: If white captures on c6, then after exchanges black wins the a4 pawn by Nb6. |

| | technical draw: Careful <pawnboy>, <Open Defence> is our official spell checker. |

Nov-27-06
 | | Marmot PFL: Supposing white castles and black plays Rfc8, then Nxe3 and c5 would equalise for black unless white moves the B off e3 (or finds some other better plan). |
|
Nov-27-06
| | Eyal: Seirawan is saying that Fritz has fallen into the "wrong rook syndrome" - thinks he should have played 0-0 and then Rfc1. |
|
Nov-27-06
| | Marmot PFL: Kasparov would have been better off with 1...a6 than falling into a Caro-Kann book trap vs. DB. |
|
| Nov-27-06 | | orio24: Where one can read about those special rules. It soungs this match doesn't have the same like those before. |
|
| Nov-27-06 | | artemis: Marmot PFL: We have discussed the reprecussions of Nxe3 at length. Black can only trade here if he can find a way to deal with the attack on his c pawn, his f pawn, and deal with the possibility of the knights swarming over his bad bishop in this very closed position, and, finally, how to deal with e3-e4 taking control of d5. |
|
| Nov-27-06 | | artemis: I have to go to class now go Kramnik!! |

| Nov-27-06 | | orio24: <WannaBe: <Peter> Official site, I believe it's a PDF> Thanks, I found that finally. |
|
| Nov-27-06 | | Mateo: Hello girls. I did not find 12.Be3 in the opening explorer. Maybe 12.Be3 is a novelty? |
|
Nov-27-06
| | technical draw: <Wannabe> I think you are right. I hate PDF. |
|
Nov-27-06
| | Eyal: <Mateo: Hello girls. I did not find 12.Be3 in the opening explorer. Maybe 12.Be3 is a novelty?> Looks like it. In Van Wely vs Lautier, 2005 12.Bd2 was played. |
