Nov-21-11 Hou-Koneru Women's World Championship (2011) 
| |
|
Anubis33: Judit Polgar vs. Hou Yifan. Such a future match would incite considerable interest, especially if Hou remains undefeated in this match against Humpy. Of course Judit would win, but the publicity would be good for chess. No worse than Anand vs. Gelfand.

| | Sep-04-11 Sutovsky vs Ivanchuk, 2011
| |
|
Anubis33: Now that was good old fashioned, Morphy vs. Adolf Anderssen type chess.
|
|
| | Mar-29-11 R Byrne vs Fischer, 1963
| |
|
Anubis33: Yes, a fabulous ending. It could be called the 'Ghost-mate' because most people can't see it!

|
| | Jan-18-11 Suttles vs P Ostojic, 1969
| |
|
Anubis33: This was a fairly typical Duncan Suttles game. He was notorious for having one of the strangest styles ever, at times similar to Petrosian, but unique. When he lost, he lost badly, but he won many strange games like the one above. Or this one here against Kavalek, with the endgame ...

| | Oct-02-10 L Gerzhoy vs V Laznicka, 2010
| |
|
Anubis33: A fine win for Canada's Gerzhoy in the Olympiad, after Laznicka, rated over 200 points higher, squanders a clear advantage and then blunders the exchange.

| | Sep-28-10 Mark Bluvshtein
| |
|
Anubis33: Yes, great win for Mark. Reminiscent of Charbonneau's victory over Anand a few years back.

| | Sep-18-10 Bent Larsen
| |
|
Anubis33: A classic Larsen result -- the 1964 Interzonal. Five Soviets crowd the top of the crosstable along with the lone wolf from Denmark: http://www.worldchesslinks.net/ezdh...

| | Sep-10-10 Carlsen vs The World, 2010
| |
|
Anubis33: Yes, for a true "World", there should be no grandmaster consultants. It defeats the purpose. It's supposed to be Carlsen (or whoever) vs. a democratic vote between the Republic of Unified Patzers. :)

| | Jan-19-08 Robert James Fischer
| |
|
Anubis33: Regarding Fischer the person, he was perhaps the archetypal genius: driven, single minded, socially awkward, and deeply passionate. I also see him has having been innocent, almost to the point of being child-like, despite his inner torments. That, again, is a trait common to ...

| | Dec-18-06 Lawrence Day
| |
|
Anubis33: Having not kibitzed on this site for 2 years, I see that all is still well in kibitz-land... Lawrence -- "nothing doesn't exist", agreed, and an interesting parallel of sorts can be found in Buddhist teachings where there is the idea that everything lacks inherent existence, ...
