Jan-25-07		borkoto: Ramaswamy plays it like a rookie...not castling .......this is ridiculous

Jan-25-07		Brown: Kamsky vs Karpov, 1996 The whole play in the opening was wrong for black, but castling in and of itself means nothing.

Jan-26-07		Chicago Chess Man: Cmon, 2700 versus 2200 is like me playing my mom in chess. She doesn't even know how the pieces move.

Jan-26-07		eeyore: Starting at move 9...Ramaswamy started to go wrong. Instead of capturing the knight with his bishop and go after an insignifcant pawn on d4 (i.e. pawn grabbing)...he should have played his bishop to e7...to prepare for castling. The e-file is open...therefore making his plan to win the d paawn even more idiotic.

Jan-26-07		dehanne: Black should take some Petroff lessons from Kramnik.

Jan-27-07		eeyore: Even a club player would have handled this opening a lot better.

Feb-01-07		Joshka: <Chicago Chess Man> I believe I read somewhere, that a GM beats an IM on average, 3 out of 5 games. 2200 is just a Master?...so maybe it's 2 out of 3. Baseball equivalent, this is like one of the top hitters in the Major Leagues, feasting on college level pitching.

Feb-01-07		euripides: <The e-file is open...therefore making his plan to win the d paawn even more idiotic.> yeah real patzer stuff. Kasparov vs Karpov, 1986

Dec-24-08		KingG: <yeah real patzer stuff. Kasparov vs Karpov, 1986 > Lol.
