| whiskeyrebel: I managed to draw her in an OTB simul. I got my Queenside pawns rolling against her Colle system set up and acquired a protected passed pawn which was my ticket to a half point. The experience makes me feel a bit better about being miniaturized at a Shabalov simul. |

| Richard Taylor: <Albertan> In the end I had more time on the clock! But it was only 2 min game. Mostly I lose if I am playing in a simul - it's easier for the GM to play.
I did draw v Averbach, then Euwe, but I lost v Chandler (in the 80s there was small group and he beat everyone then was sprinting between the remaining players, so he was the hardest to play !), also lost to Spassky, Olafsson, and (GM from South America - blanked on the name). In slow play I had two draws v one IM (in the 80s and also a win and a draw v another, and two wins (in correspondence) v another IM, and more recently I beat an FM, then in 2008 I won in brilliant game v another FM, and another brilliant game I beat an FM at my club about a month or so ago. That player beat Nigel Short in simul when he was here (the only person in Auckland to do so). In Internet Chess I played 4 or 5 GMs - one was Ulf Anderson!! He was waiting to watch a live match and of course he beat me in an 8 minute game. Also Seirawan came on ICC I think it was and beat me in 2 5 minute games. But I beat GM Daniel King in a (I think it was a minute game). I also challenged Christiansen (2 0) but he wiped me and most other players out - he is one of the best fast players... Of course I have lost to many players who are only from say 1100 to 2000 so my rating is roughly 1800 to 1900 or it was lower but I slowly came up as I came back into chess. I am now 61 so beating two FMs this year was nice...but then I lose to "weak" players...fatigue, stupidity etc are the reasons! But one has to drop in that one beat a GM no matter how! I suspect King was either tired or a bit drunk (if he drinks) when I beat him for example! So next time you sit down opposite Topalov don't give up hope on the first move!! If I can topple few giants now and then so you can topple Topalov! In two weeks I'm playing in small simul V GM Gawain Jones from England. |

| fab11mt: <Susan Polgar> Wow, its nice of you to grace Wesley's page here at Chessgames.com, you and Paul are so very nice and generous to all the participant including some of us who managed to watch the games live in person there at Lubbock. It was a pleasure meeting and talking to both of you and Paul. More power to SPICE and had I known that there is a side event like the one this coming week end, I wish I could have participated. Hopefully you'll have the same next year. Please don't let those detractors to affect both of you guys, you are doing a great and wonderful service not only for TTU in particular, but to the whole of the Chess community around the world in general. Again more power - from a fan from Albuquerque. |

| MaxxLange: <in china, there is an old saying, "if you get into lawsuits, you always lose", meaning, even if you win some compensation, in the end, it's not worth the time and effort> my experience, as a defendant in a small-time music business contract lawsuit, bears that out. "small-time" - sued for about $75,000. Now, I was 21 or 22...I had never even seen more than about $1200 cash at once...so it sure did not seem "small-time" to me. I wound up settling out my part for $500, after my parents paid a lawyer about $2500 for his time in making it go away. It was worth every penny. I lawyered UP: I had an old semi-retired guy from the same neighborhood I was in, former Judge, former State Senator . He took the case as a favor to my co-defendants Father....out of respect the lawyers were definitely the only people who got any material advantage from this mess. I got, however, a bargain in education about how this all works...don't let people push you around with threats of lawsuits: call their bluff. Make them file and serve you with papers, get a good lawyer, and turn it over to her. You has 30 days to file a motion that the whole thing should be thrown out of court..... |

| fab11mt: GM <Susan Polgar>, I'm sure you already have a lot of masters lined for next year SPICE Cup, how about IM Enrico Sevillano and renowned chess book author IM John Donaldson. These two IM's have lots of title between them that includes National Open and US Open. |

| fab11mt: <Susan Polgar> kindly tell you associate that the images that she's been taking and posting on Picasa are all awesome. Is she a professional photographer?, or is she with MONROI? If she is part of your staff, you guys just rock. And the kudos also goes to Paul Truong because he is taking a lot of those pictures too!! |

| Bradah: <GalileoPiccolino: SPICE CUP 2009 is a sort of Junior-Sophomore introduction to the School Campus, sub-par and uneventful to say the least.
WCC 2009 @ Khanty Manssysk and CORUS B @ Netherlands 2010 is the 'hazing' part, a welcoming ritual to the 2650 - 2699 Fraternity. If you managed to survive the hazing ritual, you deserved it and welcome to the Club.> From Wesley So pages. |
