  twinlark: <mack> Let me rephrase that...s in "Chess is better than [xxx]because there are more positions.”?

  technical draw: Anand is in trouble. He's playing the moves I recommend.

  WannaBe: Anand's got queen + rook behind his passed pawn, while Ivanchuk's got ?? behind his passed pawn...
Feb-24-07  THE pawn: <technical draw> there's a grandmaster in everyone of us.

  twinlark: 19...Bd6 looks like a solid blockade.
Feb-24-07  mack: < Let me rephrase that...s in "Chess is better than [xxx]because there are more positions.”?>

That's the one. The [xxx] is, of course, Twister.

  Sneaky: Vishy's knight may prove to be annoying when it gets to c6.

  technical draw: Anand is going to park the knight on c6 and dare Chucky to capture it.

  twinlark: <mack> Thought it was something like that...rhymes with "blister".

  twinlark: Chucky looks ok to me...he's got a 4-2 pawn majority on the king side with an unblockaded passer at e5.
Feb-24-07  Ingolf: Great one, <marmot pfl>, but it might only be a temporary state, unlike the bishops. They really don't get along.
Feb-24-07  you vs yourself: apparently rybka likes black after 20..f5 21.exf6 Rxf6

  Marmot PFL: I think a black knight on f4 might be better than the white one on c6, but this position looks very balanced overall.

  twinlark: 20...f5...?

  technical draw: 21...Nf4. Obvious, so why is he taking so long?

  suenteus po 147: <you vs yourself> Apparently Ivanchuk smells what the Rybka is cooking.

  twinlark: Vishy'll e.p. it, surely?
Feb-24-07  euripides: <21...Nf4. Obvious, so why is he taking so long?> I think the rules are he has to wait for his opponent to move.

  twinlark: <euripides> nitpicker!
