Mar-02-16		Sally Simpson: at the moment we have this. click for larger view There 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.

Mar-02-16		OhioChessFan: <dice> Black to make 31st move. 12 minutes for White, 4 for Black. Position: click for larger view

Mar-02-16		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.

Mar-02-16		whiteshark: The usual quiet start

Mar-02-16		diceman: <Sally Simpson: There was a mistake earlier on> 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.

Mar-02-16		diceman: <Sally Simpson: Enlgish, Scotch, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Scandinavian, Dutch..> Don't forget "The Danish."

Mar-02-16		beenthere240: And the Polish!

Mar-02-16		TheFocus: Mariya employs the Goldsby Piano. Hayseeds all around the Gulf are rejoicing.

Mar-02-16		offramp: But no German.

Mar-02-16		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?

Mar-02-16		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.

Mar-02-16		whiteshark: Hou cares? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...

Mar-02-16		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>.)

Mar-02-16		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.

Mar-03-16		HeMateMe: Surely there's a goulash line in the Hungarian Gambit? Make it so!

Mar-03-16		whiteshark: Game 1 press-conference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHnD...

Mar-03-16		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?
