Nov-21-09   rjsolcruz: Caro-Kann Defense
According to Modern Chess Openings, "Many famous players have since maade use of the opening, but its greatest exponents have been three World Champions of the 20th century: CAPABLANCA, at the beginning of the century; BOTVINNIK in the middle years and KARPOV at the end."
Nov-21-09   rjsolcruz: Chessdom.com by GM Christian Bauer

1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 Bf5 4.Nf3 e6 5.Be2
Gata tries something more fun than the London-system! This line has become quite fashionable vs the Caro-Kann. Kamsky has probably improved his repertoire as a consequence of preparation for his match against Topalov. White relies on his space advantage there. while Black has a solid game and counter-play based on ...c5 and ...f6. Antonio is already thinking, I guess he was surprised by the opening choice of Gata

5... Nd7 6.O-O
Now Black is supposed to continue ...Bg6 and then ...f7-f6. Last month in Novi Sad, GM Solak moved his Knight g8-e7-f5-h6-g8! in the opening, against Shirov, and managed to hold a draw. *

Nov-21-09   rjsolcruz: On 5... Nd7

GM Joey had previously played 5... Ne7 vs Wang Hao in the Asian Individual Ch 2007 which he lost.

He has also played 5... Nd7 vs Surya Ganguly in the Asian Continental Ch 2009 which he also lost. Yes, he lost the battle vs Ganguly but won the Subic War which became his ticket to this Wordl Cup.

Will there be a deja vu in Siberia?

we hope so sir <rjsol>..

go GM Joey!

Nov-21-09   pinoymaster77: Good pm, frozen ata lines di na na-refresh with latest moves sa chessdom...
Nov-21-09   Iskubadayb: Joey, what's happening? That's not your style, bradidik. Go for the sharp opening! You can mix it up with anyone with your tactical prowess. You are playing into Gata's strength. Attack! You can do it! Go go go!!!

  wordfunph: payback time in the 2nd game tonight GM Joey! Go for a kill..
Nov-22-09   pinoymaster77: Rest well and relax gmjoey, there will be greener pastures, and this will just motivate you to scale new heights in your chess career!
Nov-22-09   Iskubadayb: Valiant effort! You had Gata on the ropes there in your 2nd game. I just quickly played your game and did not get a good look at it. It looked like there may be something there! I'll check it out later. You were matched with the defending World Cup winner and you did not get wiped! Good job. Shopping time??
Nov-22-09   prensdepens: That is not a bad performance!, considering that you were matched at once against one of the best chessplayers in the world today.

Your level of play is within the superGM standards.

Playing more against these top caliber players will give you the opportunity to polish your tactics. You already have the strategy...

  zanshin: <GMJoey> When you get a chance, can you take a look at the game score of Kamsky vs R Antonio, 2009 and verify that it is correct (or not). Salamat po.

  spawn2: < GM Susan Polgar : Wesley did exactly what he had to do to hold Ivanchuk. He played a "boring" opening with very little for Black to play for. He managed his clock sufficiently. Well done! Now comes the next big task. Gata is a VERY tough player for anyone in match format. He is a grinder. He is very patient. He will not self destruct.

The weakest part of Gata's game is his opening. However, his middlegame and endgame skill is his strength. He is also mentally strong and he is a very experienced player. I know Gata for a long time. He played many big matches in his career.

Wesley MUST be very patient and be prepared to play long and intense games. It is very difficult for any player in the world to blow Gata off the board. He is a world-class defender.

Wesley needs to play aggressively but not risky. It is critical for Wesley NOT to get into time pressure against Gata.>

You might want to consider this in preparing Wes for Gata. Goodluck!

Nov-25-09   oyeboli: Stars do not struggle to shine; rivers do not struggle to flow, and you will never struggle to excel in life, because you deserve the best. Hold on to your dreams and it shall be well with you.. GOD BLESS!!
Nov-26-09   pinoymaster77: gmjoey, malaking bagay ang pagtulong ninyo nila GM Darwin kay Chairman. Magtuloy-tuloy na til matapos!

Kung puede rin, some 'ringside' or 'corner' insights on the Ivanchuk match since it's over.

  gmjoey: Khanty-Mansiysk 10am

Greetings!

Its freezing here right now..negative 32..whew! .hindi na kami makalabas ng hotel.Hindi namin kaya ang lamig dito. But we will stay for wesley.
Wes is ready for today's game against Kamsky.

Nov-27-09   prensdepens: Hi GM Joey! Thanks for giving us account of what's going on there right now.
Nov-27-09   oyeboli: ON THIS DAY, GOD WANTS YOU TO KNOW . . . that nothing is exciting if you know what the outcome is going to be. You keep wanting to know how things will play out, keep asking to see the future. God doesn't give anyone the power to know the future, because life becomes maddeningly boring when you know everything upfront. So, instead of struggling, enjoy the uncertainty - to be alive means to not know.

GM...thanks for the update. . and the ONE FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE attitude. .am proud of you po!! That's the real GM PINOY. . . GOD Bless and hope your blanket will keep you warm po. .

Nov-28-09   prensdepens: GM Joey At GM Darwin, Nagpost si sir skubadayb as Wesley forum:

<skubadayb: Teka at paalala ulit kay Wes na sumagap ng preskiting na hangin bago sumabak para may oxygen ang utak at malinaw ang pag-iisip! At isa ulit bago mag time scramble para hindi mag-blunder! Laking advantage yan pag di alam ng kalaban!! Joey at Darwin, paalala lang po.>

Nakabawi ka na rin kay Kamsky!
