 | | Sally Simpson: at the moment we have this.
click for larger viewThere was a mistake earlier on, if Diceman is correct (and he usually is) maybe we have been fed a computer dump. The final set of moves appeared very quickly. |

 | | OhioChessFan: <dice> Black to make 31st move. 12 minutes for White, 4 for Black. Position:

| | OhioChessFan: Yes <Sally> and no way Hou is running her time down to nothing on this move. Her clock shows 1 minute and still no 31st move. |
|
| Mar-02-16 | | lentil: at the official site a draw has been agreed. |

 | | whiteshark: The usual quiet start |

There were two you-tube links here.
The first, in Russian, looked like it was in sync.
The second, with English speaking commentators, looked like it had a delay. |

 | | TheFocus: Mariya employs the Goldsby Piano.
Hayseeds all around the Gulf are rejoicing. |

 | | offramp: But no German. |

 | | HeMateMe: would you people say that the piano is a bit timid to play with your first white? It doesn't really offer winning chances at the GM level, does it? |
|

| | offramp: As I said, Karpov nearly beat Kortschnoi with it. |
|
Mar-02-16
| | HeMateMe: Well, Karpov could turn a wet noodle into a light saber. Can <mere mortals> beat GMs with the flaccid Piano? |
|
| Mar-02-16 | | Shams: <Sally Simpson> <The sole contribution to opening theory from our cousins in the colonies is one dodgy gambit played once on here and lost.> Hey, there are two different lines just named after NYC boroughs alone. One of them is a bit of a joke line but I think Magnus played it once. |

 | | WannaBe: I say it's unfair that Dutch have the Stonewall, and Chinese can't even have a Greatwall defence. Unfair!!
(There should also be a Scotch line including Hadrian Wall defence.) |
|
Mar-02-16
 | | Jim Bartle: No place for a Maginot Line? |
|
| Mar-02-16 | | Shams: Australia's Rabbit wall. (Nothing personal <WannaBe>.) |

| | Lambda: <would you people say that the piano is a bit timid to play with your first white? It doesn't really offer winning chances at the GM level, does it?> If I were a strong GM trying to beat Kasparov, then I'd probably choose something like a Pianissimo, try to keep a tiny edge, keep the game nice and quiet, and bore him into an unsound counterattack. (Well, except he'd play a Sicilian, of course.)
It's all situational. |
|
Mar-02-16
| | OhioChessFan: I suspect there's some TN yet to be found in the pawn sac variation of the Piano that gives White a strong advantage. |
|

| | HeMateMe: Surely there's a goulash line in the Hungarian Gambit? Make it so! |

| | Sally Simpson: The Hadrian's Wall v the Scotch. I like it and am working on it. Possibly some kind of set up v the Italian Game. (the Roman connection.) ----
Did America not once try to call the Exchange Lopez the American attack or something like that but it was knocked back. |
|
Mar-03-16
| | diceman: <Sally Simpson: The Hadrian's Wall v the Scotch> That's the wall Rocky had no trouble crossing:
"Yo, Hadrian!" |
|
Mar-03-16
| | HeMateMe: We can't help it. We're such a young country; all the good names were taken before we developed chess players. Is the Grand Prix Attack American? |
