Kibitzer's Corner
Jan-01-06   aw1988: Here's a GM with no notable games, and no kibitzing. Go figure.
Jan-01-06   THE pawn: But he DOES have a bio, you can't take that out of him.
Jan-02-06   aw1988: I just find it insanely funny. Who are we kibitzers? We rank from beginner to very strong, yet a GM is the highest of all titles. Here, we have a GM, a man stronger than all our kibitzers (excluding the titled players ie Day and Keene) who rightfully earned the title, and we have no one bothering to find out who it is!
Jan-02-06   THE pawn: It's not really like he saved the world. One thing's for sure though, he loves to play in Quebec:

and that's the last tournament results I found where he played. http://www.chesstour.com/intl05r.htm

13.Ng5! was Mikhalevski's new move, he first played it against Gennady Tunik in Beer Sheva 1996. Play went 13...Ndf6 14.Nh3 etc.

A similar example of the Ng5 manoeuvre is:

A Jakab vs L Eperjesi, 2001

  TheAlchemist: A correspondence game between Bertino and Podkrajsek from 2001 went:

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Nf3 b6 5.Qb3 Qe7 6.a3 Bxc3+ 7.Qxc3 Bb7 8.g3 d6 9.Bg2 Nbd7 10.O-O O-O 11.b3 Ne4 12.Qc2 f5 13.Ng5 Ndf6 14.Nh3 d5 15.f3 Nd6 16.c5 bxc5 17.dxc5 Nb5 18.Bb2 a5 19.e3 Rfb8 20.Nf2 Na7 21.e4 dxe4 22.fxe4 fxe4 23.Nxe4 Nxe4 24.Bxe4 Bxe4 25.Qxe4 Qxc5+ 26.Rf2 Re8 27.Rc1 Qd6

A mistake. Correct was 27...Qe7! A thunderbolt now follows:

28.Bxg7!! Kxg7 29.Rf7+ Kxf7 30.Qxh7+ Kf6 31.Rf1+ Ke5 32.Qh5+ Ke4 33.Re1+ Kd4 34.Rd1+ Ke3 35.Qg5+ Kf3 36.Rf1+ Ke4 37.Re1+

And Black resigned in view of 37...Kd4 38.Qc1 Qa6 39.Qe3+ Kd5 40.Qe5+ Kc6 41.Rc1+ Kb6 42.Qxc7+ Kb5 43.Rc5#

Apr-20-07   CFMEU: Currently in Australia. Played in the Sydney International Open and finished equal second 7/9

Oct-25-07   Karpova: He won the Calvia International Open with 8.0/9 and a performance of 2876!

Congratulations to you for your brilliant performance!

Spraggett was the runner-up with 7.0/9.

Several players followed with 6.5/9 like Kuzubov, Godena and Arakhamia-Grant!

Top seed Vallejo-Pons disappointed with 5.5/9 and 26th place.

at the canadian open id tried to take a snap of IM noritsyn of canada but the guy gave me a stern look that i back off humiliated.

he is a very nice guy at icc, a regular observer of nakamura game and a pleasant kibitzer, but things got different in that situation.

I compose my self gather a deep breath and stay in the corner.Id seen grandmaster mikhalivski get inside a hall, i go near him and ask if i could take a shot, he smiled and pose, i take 3 pics and these is the best one.

Nov-03-08   unsound: <timhortons> Nice photo. (And I really like that shot you've got on flcikr of the presidents cup--the frame's so crowded it gives it tons of atmosphere.)
