Appaz Member since Jun-19-04 · Last seen Nov-30-09 Born 1968, living in Oslo, Norway. I learned chess as a kid, and have been a member of different clubs since youth, but have never put much effort into it. To me chess is just fun, wich is probably why I have favourite players like Tal, Shirov and Morozevich.

Nov-30-09 Magnus Carlsen    Appaz: Yes, <Albertan>, the world will never be the same again. How sad it is that we have to put teenagers as role models for our children where grown up fails, as is clearly demonstrated on this page.      Nov-28-09 Karjakin vs Navara, 2009    Appaz: <<Shams> The *French* is Navara's choice to draw?> My thought too! Beautiful finish by Karjakin. A nice variation of rook against two pawns. He will have a good, confident feeling going into the tie-breaks.      Nov-25-09 Bureaucrat chessforum    Appaz: I know, one of the horde... I've always dreamt of becomming an individual :)      Nov-25-09 Wesley So    Appaz: As have been said by many: Gata Kamsky is <very> strong in matchplay. He knocked out Carlsen in 2007 and went on to play the challenger match for the WC match, but was beaten by Topalov. I believe most GMs would rather meet Ivanchuk in a match than Kamsky, no matter the higher ...      Nov-25-09 Sergey Karjakin    Appaz: Karjakin should be clearly stronger at faster time controls, judging from his success in blitz, but I admit that I have no clue about his relative strength in rapid. Take it to the blitz, Sergey!      Nov-24-09 Y Yu vs M Bartel, 2009    Appaz: Brilliant played by young Yangyi Yu! After 2...b5 it seems to me that white has the initiative through the whole game. Nice instructive practical play, always punching blacks weaknesses.      Nov-24-09 Hikaru Nakamura    Appaz: <Hate> is a very strong word, tim. Be sure you are not <first> making up an idea of the world, <then> forcing your observations to match this idea. To me it looks like this is what you are doing here.      Nov-24-09 Tomi Nyback    Appaz: Congratulations to Tomi for winning the first game against Svidler! This guy is 2700-material.      Nov-23-09 Nigel Short    Appaz: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...      Nov-22-09 D Laylo vs Navara, 2009    Appaz: Good game from Laylo! <I> would of course never have dreamt going into vs, but Laylo cut the bishop of from where the action was, in the center and ...
