| May-26-12 | | Meatwad: An accurate prediction! Alas no chessbucks on the table. |
|

 | | LoveThatJoker: Nimzo in full force! GJ, <Meatwad>! LTJ |
|
May-26-12
 | | JenShahade: <Meatwad> Nice prediction :) |
|
May-26-12
 | | Natalia Pogonina: Let's see what improvement Anand has prepared in the Nimzovitch. |
|

| | LoveThatJoker: I actually bet the max on 1. d4 Nf6 - Looks like Daddy's gonna get a new pair of shoes today! Ooooh yeah!

| May-26-12 | | albertfrank: @ ahmadov: Why do you say "We want a win"? Please, if *you* want, say " *I* want a win", thanks. I really like the interesting comments of Natalia, Jan and Livemaster: so interesting...It would be so nice to have only these comments. |
|
| May-26-12 | | SimonWebbsTiger: Before the game really takes shape....
I want to drop a note thanking "Bennifer". (Bennifer is Shahade and Ben Finegold.) Bennifer provided great coverage of the recently finished US Chp. -- like before, along with Maurice Ashley. TY again to Bennifer, Maurice, Max, St. Louis and the players |

 | | moronovich: wow 8-Bd7!?!? Vishy first to deviate |
|
May-26-12
| | Natalia Pogonina: The idea behind ♗d7 is to develop the bishop along the a8-h1 diagonal without weakening the c6 square by playing b6. The knight can come out on d7 later. |
|
| May-26-12 | | Meatwad: And now 8.....Bd7. Any theory heads out there that can explain? I'm guessing Bd7-c6 and Nbd7, at some point cxd4. Setup *somewhat* similar to a ...Nf6 line against the c3 sicilian. |
|
May-26-12
| | LoveThatJoker: <Meatwad> Are Shake and Frylock following the WC Match as well? LTJ |
|
May-26-12
| | JenShahade: <SimonWebbsTiger> So glad you enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun to do! Bennifer will also be back to comment on Karpov-Seirawan in just a couple weeks! |
|
| May-26-12 | | Ulhumbrus: <Natalia Pogonina: Kramnik: "I am worried for Boris, because his magic bottle is not on the table. Guess it will appear on the stage at the decisive moment".> That suggests the folllowing idea: Either player could wear a jumper with a black cat embroidered on it, as Alekhine did in one match against Euwe. |
|
May-26-12
| | moronovich: Most likely Gelfand will take his time now. |
|
May-26-12
| | Natalia Pogonina: I am taking a look at some of the games in this line. In some cases Black gives up the bishops for knights... :) |
|
| May-26-12 | | Memethecat: Hi all, aagh Nimzo, not my cup of tea. |
|
| May-26-12 | | sorokahdeen: Ms. Pogonina:
An interesting idea and one that doesn't seem to to lead immediately to standard Queen's gambit accepted positions with an isolated queen's pawn for white, but is there a lot of theory on it? Has black done well with it statistically? |
|
| May-26-12 | | Meatwad: <LTJ> Are you kidding? Frylock's got Rybka from the 23rd century running and has solved chess, though Shake thinks this is soooo boring. |
|
| May-26-12 | | SimonWebbsTiger: I think the Cheb Slav has not been anyone's cup of tea since the first few games. Meme! |
|
May-26-12
| | Natalia Pogonina: Kramnik on why Anand isn't showing his best chess: "I remember when I was playing my 4th WCC match. It has become somewhat routine; the motivation was not high enough". |
|
May-26-12
| | JenShahade: @Pogonina Me too, White can get Ne5 in quickly and then play Nxc6 for instance 9. Qe2 Bc6 (the point of ...Bd7) 10. Rd1 (to protect d4 and threatens c5) ...Qe7 11. Ne5

| May-26-12 | | zluria: Gelfand is really thinking here. This is a great sign for Anand - He's finally outprepared Gelfand, and so it's very unlikely that Gelfand will get anything from the opening . |
|
May-26-12
| | Natalia Pogonina: The typical setup for White here is ♕e2-♖d1-a3. |
|
May-26-12
| | LoveThatJoker: Frylock's da man then, dude! :D
LTJ |
|
| May-26-12 | | Ulhumbrus: <Memethecat: Hi all, aagh Nimzo, not my cup of tea.> Perhaps this will help to make it more so: Either player aims at certain types of position following the opening |
