< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 1 OF 20 ·  Later Kibitzing> May-19-12    andachamp: Hey! Make the game exciting!! May-19-12    stardust762: Gelfand, please pay attention. Now you play c4 and all Anand's home preparation goes down the drain. May-19-12    RookFile: I was on another page making the same point. The English opening would be an excellent weapon - a long game with slow positional pressure. May-19-12    kcchesschamp: I dont think that either players will survive the next wcc. Anand has the most experience with long intense matches so i suspect he will have the longer endurance but Boris is doing very well, i like his opening preparation May-19-12    talisman: I'll take the fifth. May-19-12    Ron: I was just thinking about the English Opening too. The English Opening is clearly a viable opening for White, and would have surprise value here. May-19-12    hoodrobin: the 7th game <might> be a fighting one... May-19-12    twinlark: If not then hopefully the 8th one. May-19-12    Penguincw: First win of the match maybe. May-19-12    capanegra: With only six classic games to go and such a circumspective play by both sides, I'd say that the first win will be almost equivalent to the match triumph. Hence, they'll probably keep on playing with circumspection. I wouldn't be surprised to see another draw here. (I hope I'm wrong!) May-19-12    kamalakanta: Maybe by game 11 someone will win a game.... May-19-12    lost in space: 12 draws in a row May-19-12    wordfunph: want to hear the golden words from 13th World Champ Kasparov.. May-20-12    whiteshark: I await eagerly a TN in the Slav on move fourteen. May-20-12    kellmano: <whiteshark: I await eagerly a TN in the Slav on move fourteen.> And then this being responded to with a chopping off of all pieces. May-20-12    GiuocoPianoMan: <WHITESHARK> TN? Technical novelty? May-20-12    whiteshark: <GPM> Toilet Navigator or Taub Nut, iirr... ;) May-20-12    GiuocoPianoMan: <WHITESHARK> Could you explain? I am asking what TN MEANS.... May-20-12    Richard Taylor: TN = Theoretical Novelty I think by that they mean as far as is known databases that IMs GMs etc use... May-20-12    Richard Taylor: That is a new opening move... May-20-12    Richard Taylor: I think White shark is being ironic. May-20-12    Stonehenge: Terrible News May-20-12    moronovich: Dont read these lines. May-20-12    kamalakanta: Teutonic Non-fighting May-20-12    Absentee: True Neutral.
