| Sep-06-16 | | cro777: A brilliant game by Reizniece-Ozola.

A thorough analysis of the game can be found in the Tournament Bulletin by Dylan Loeb McClain, editor-in-chief of WorldChess.com: "In the women’s section, the shocker of the round, and of the tournament, was definitely Reizniece-Ozola’s win over Hou. Reizniece-Ozola played a magnificent game." http://worldchess.com/2016/09/06/bi... |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: I like to borrow the ancient Greek word "aristeia" (hope I spelled it correctly) for such a stunning, "lightning from a clear blue sky" achievement that occurs once and perhaps never again. Much like America's woman soccer player Lloyd scoring 3 goals in 15 minutes v. Japan in the World Cup Final. For a handful of hours Dana Reizniece-Ozola was the greatest woman chess player in the world. Judging from her rating, that will never happen again--but she will always have that handful of hours. A handful of hours that almost every other human being will never experience. |

Dana Reizniece-Ozola thoughtful. It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you are capable to do with it. |

| Dec-02-16 | | optimal play: "Yes Minister"

One of the funniest comedies to come out of Britain! |

 | | scormus: Superb game by the Latvian, Something to saviour for the rest of her life. I wonder if CG will feature a game by the young Theresa May. I don't imagine it would be quite this good though. |

<Very droll, Minister!> |

 | | rodchuck: 49. Qxg7 Nxg7 50. Ng5+ also looks quite convincing |
|
| Dec-02-16 | | amateur05: Awesome |

One of the funniest comedies to come out of Britain!> Well I never liked it. I have heard it on the wireless. I don't like television. I do not like politics, either. I find it pointless. I think that in the future Dana Reizniece-Ozola will be remembered more for this game than for being Minister of Edducative Things in Lithuanis. |

| Dec-02-16 | | rea: I once beat then-Oklahoma secretary of state John Rogers Jr. in a tournament game. This was before his forced resignation on corruption charges. If I recall correctly from all those years ago, he was rated in the 1600s |
|
| Dec-02-16 | | rea: <em>"Another item for my collection of people who became notable enough to be relevant for Wikipedia in two independent fields"</em> Consider GM Kenneth Rogoff (Thomas D. Cabot Professor of Public Policy and Professor of Economics at Harvard University) IM Edward Lasker (inventor of a breast pump)
IM Norman Whitaker (prominent criminal) |

| Dec-02-16 | | rea: And (not to monopolize the thread, but) does anyone know why it is called the Agincourt Defense? Maybe French Defense-like e6 and d5 against the English? I did not notice any knights being taken by pawns . . . |

Because I am too lazy to google "John Rogers Junior corruption charges" and also because it wouldn't be as funny if I googled it.... |

Another great post by SS!
Please keep up the good work you do. |
|
| Dec-02-16 | | thegoodanarchist: One more thing. Is it any wonder why women cannot compete for the WC? Can anyone imagine MC losing to D. R-O?
Me neither. |
|
| Dec-02-16 | | rea: <thegoodanarchist "Can anyone imagine MC losing to D. R-O?"> Sure I can! She's a fairly strong master, a WGM, an experienced player. Carlsen is a human being. Stranger things have happened many, many times. |
|
| Dec-03-16 | | thegoodanarchist: <Sure I can!>
Are you imagining a simul? |
