 | | Strongest Force: Ulf would have been right at home in NYC: we had some of the greatest positional players: like Abe Kupchic! |
|
| Aug-24-11 | | micartouse: <WiseWizard> I doubt that the answer to your question relates to styles of the players or to positional play in general. It's probably just the boring reason that Karpov was stronger, better trained, and more competitive. |
|
| Aug-25-11 | | Albertan: Chess: last of the brilliant Andersson manoeuvres. The positional master notes the seriousness of the situation – then fixes it:

| | Domdaniel: <WiseWizard> -- I think <micartouse> is right: there's no easy answer. And a *full* response would probably have to begin with something like "Well, once upon a time there was this thing called the Soviet Union, whose citizens played chess and built space rockets in their struggle against capitalism ..." <Albertan> Thanks for the Guardian link. For three or four weeks now, chess columnists King and Bennett have been looking at Ulf's games. Highly illuminating stuff -- especially as Danny King is a GM who shows some Andersson influences, and Ronan Bennett is a club player/ expert who admits that Andersson-style positional play is usually beyond him. |

| Aug-25-11 | | Ziggurat: <Grattis till Mister Andersson, som är egentligen inte en herr.> Varför inte?
(P.S. If I may be a grammar Nazi, the proper word order is <... som egentligen inte är ...>) |
|

| | Domdaniel: <Zig> I thought, perhaps wrongly, that 'herr' sounded too, well, Teutonic (and lordly). Of course your word order is better. To use a word feared by non-grammar-Nazis (grammar non-Nazis?) it may even be *correct*. How about 'Doctor Andersson'? He's probably got an honorary doctorate at least - and if not it can still be used as an honorific, Italian-style. |

 | | Fusilli: <Domdaniel> ... <and if not it can still be used as an honorific, Italian-style.> What do you mean? Do Italians use the title without regard for proper credentials? |

 | | wordfunph: Ulf's love story..
<The following story of how Ulf met his wife is, I am certain, slightly exaggerated. He was playing in Cuba. At the end of the tournament, they were going back to the hotel by bus. "Why didn't you ever speak to that girl who sat looking at your games all the time?" somebody asked. "Stop the bus!" Ulf cried. He got off, married the girl and wasn't seen again in Europe for a year.> Source: Phillips & Drew Kings Chess Tournament London 1980 by Bill Hartston & Stewart Reuben |
|
| Feb-24-12 | | King Death: As far as I know Andersson was a trainer in Cuba for a year back about 1975 or 76 and that's when he met and married his wife. |

| | whiteshark: Is there an Open in the next time? |
|
| Feb-24-12 | | Ziggurat: <Dom> Oops, hadn't visited this page in a while. "Herr" ("mister") sounds quite formal, like pre-1960s Swedish, so you are right, in a way. But it's not *formally* wrong. |
|
| Feb-24-12 | | Birthday Boy: Nice share <wordfunph> :) |
|
| Apr-25-12 | | Llawdogg: That's a hilarious love story! |

 | | Cemoblanca: Mr. Andersson is a very calm guy. As they say: "We must look at the circumstances and not be too hasty." Here is a very fine example >>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEso... 0:34 - A film clip tells more than 1000 words! :0) That's the way he is: Anders(son). Anders (German) = Different ;0) |
