  tpstar: <chessgames.com> Thanks for the live broadcast. =)

That's great how you let everybody watch. With your new software, will this be the same for the future?

Black's Bb4 + Pa5 really clamped down the Queenside.

Apr-27-11  eternaloptimist: thx cg for letting us non-premium members get a freebee today! it's been a pretty long time since i've watched a live game on cg.
Apr-27-11  ADDADZ: thank youشكرا
Apr-27-11  Ezzy: Yes, congrats to Kamsky for defending his title, but Shulman went down without any fight whatsoever.

  boz: A Kamsky-Naka match would be a fascinating way to settle the US championship. Those St. Louis patrons should think about putting up a prize fund for such a duel. I know I'd be glued to my screen.

It is remarkable how easy Kamsky made it look. Congratulations to Gata!

  HeMateMe: I bet they both prefer Wendy's to borscht.
Apr-27-11  Helloween: <boz>It would make for a remarkable match, as both are clearly the top two U.S. Players, and the clash of age/experience versus unbridled youth, playing styles etc. would make for great drama. I would thoroughly enjoy it, as well, and my money would be on Naka!

"A guy is trying to kill you in chess. He is trying to maim you intellectually." -M. Ashley>

Umm, not for me, and if Ashley really feels this way against his opponents, I would rather to never study his games, follow his career, listen to his commentary or buy a single book. I imagine he doesn't actually feel this way, yet thought it sounded cool. Let's hope so.

As Bronstein says, such sentiments toward one's opponent add up to "the impoverishment of chess."

  lost in space: The expected end - a draw. White failed to create any advantage out of the opening, was already defensive in the middle game (Nb3, b3, Qd1) and can be happy that white avoided to play on with 2 bishops vs bishop + knight.

Yah. Where is Nakamura ?

Apr-28-11  Everett: This line is similar to the Smyslov/Lasker lines in the Slav with black using b4 as an anchor. The biggest difference is the time saved/slow development by keeping the B home on c8.
