Nov-12-10		goldenbear: If modern chess tells us anything, it is that Black is close to winning in the initial position.

Nov-13-10		Eyal: <This game will induce black pessimism in creative chess players who don’t like cramming up on theory and look for untrodden paths. Eljanov delivered a surprise in the opening – 6. Bf4!?, but it didn’t give Karjakin, a chess player who from his youngest years has been working with computer programs, any trouble to react strongly like a computer and obtain comfortable play with Black. In this game it was White who right from the start was struggling for equality. And he managed to make a draw. It’s sad, but a fact. Study theory, gentlemen! Seek out good novelties in topical positions. Spend long winter nights in front of your computer. Otherwise you won’t have the slightest chance in a struggle against elite players. However regrettable that sounds…> (Shipov) http://www.chessintranslation.com/2...
