Bishoprick Member since Feb-23-04 · Last seen May-23-13 I live in Tappan, NY. My favorite player is Tal, although I also like Alekhine and early Karpov. Long ago, Tarrash was my favorite. My "current" rating is 1898, although if I were active I don't think I could maintain that. I've been a couple of hundred points higher, but that too was a long time ago.

May-17-13 Svidler vs Karjakin, 2013    Bishoprick: Link to actual tournament site: http://live.norwaychess.com/      May-08-13 Karjakin vs Radjabov, 2013    Bishoprick: Could still happen. . . Slumps have occurred before.      May-08-13 Carlsen vs Topalov, 2013    Bishoprick: Don't think it will be a Sicilian. Rossolimo Variation has been making hash of the Sicilian lately, and I think the tendency has been to avoid it.      May-05-13 Norway Chess Tournament (2013)    Bishoprick: This is a tournament I'm really looking forward to. May the best player also be lucky!      May-05-13 Gulko vs Chiburdanidze, 1978    Bishoprick: The holiday named after the great ship that was attacked by a German sub during WWII. The ship was loaded with mayonnaise destined for Mexico, and sank to the bottom. The Mexicans, for whom the boatload of mayonnaise was intended, couldn't believe it. For days they went around ...      Apr-29-13 FIDE Grand Prix Zug (2013)    Bishoprick: What is the URL for the tournament site?      Apr-29-13 Caruana vs Topalov, 2013    Bishoprick: Surprised to see Caruana allow a Najdorf. Recently it's been all Rossolimo's, and it has scored so well that I seem to have noticed a decline in the use of Sicilians in top rank chess.      Apr-28-13 Alekhine Memorial (2013)    Bishoprick: Must confess that while chess was at the center of my life when younger(although I only reached a 2000 rating), at age 77 I just don't have the interest in it that I had earlier in my life. In addition to this, when I play in tournaments, I tire easily, don't calculate as fast or      Apr-25-13 Gelfand vs Adams, 2013    Bishoprick: Beautiful and instructive endgame!      Apr-13-13 Jobava vs M Vachier-Lagrave, 2013    Bishoprick: Nevertheless, an interesting game.
