| Sep-27-07 | | fictionist: Zahir! I agree but I think this is still not the right time yet for Leko. You will see in time. :) |

| | ahmadov: Hello Rich, nice to see one of your rare posts on this web site :-) As for Leko, I think things are becoming more difficult for him as a very strong generation of chess players are coming up... |

| Sep-27-07 | | sanyas: I am bamboozled by this opening. How is it that after such bizarre queen maneuvers Leko emerges with an opening advantage? Of course, if it works it's great. |

| Oct-03-07 | | fictionist: Well, new players really are coming up but not all will have that "it" thing..yes,that is championship potential. In my opinion, I see that in quite a few super Gms now. As a player who does not whine when Gms make draws, I know that Leko will have that chance soon. |

| Oct-03-07 | | fictionist: hehehe...it is really a "rare" sight when i post in CG these days, Zahir. I owe it to that fact that I am busy in other things aside from chess. Here in our country, you can not make a living out of chess. If I play like say, Fischer or Kasparov, maybe it is just ok if I play chess for money everyday. hehehe |

| Oct-03-07 | | fictionist: <sanyas:> I am bamboozled by this opening. How is it that after such bizarre queen maneuvers Leko emerges with an opening advantage? Well, sanyas..you may call it bizarre Queen maneuvers but it's just that GMs really play differently. It can be like those "violating-general-principles" moves. But I guess, Leko has used this line before in his games when faced with the QID. |
