Chesschatology: <moi>
The response 20. Qxg7++ is quite effective!

Chesschatology: I LOVE the fact that there are now ad.s on Chessgames.com stating "Are you scared of meeting women? Artof Approach.com". Now WHY would a web-site aimed at shy sex-starved men with poor interpersonal skills target a chess site?

| |
|
Chesschatology: A nice example of Miles' unconventional openings and superb endgame technique!

| | Dec-21-07 Korchnoi vs E Koning, 1978
| |
|
Chesschatology: <ganstaman> you're right that 8. Qe5 doesn't work. I think after 7... Ne7 simply Bg5 is irritating, and White enjoys big advantage. If ... f6 Black ends up in a similar position to the 8... f6 line. Otherwise Nxe7 is threatened. It's not mating or winning material by ...

| | Oct-18-07 Smyslov vs Pilnik, 1956
| |
|
Chesschatology: My problem with this one was I was looking for something totally unexpected, which led me to the flashy but useless b4. Moral- don't assume that because it's a problem you should discard sensible chess!

Chesschatology: Stonehenge,
Lighten up dude. It's quite common to refer to doing something just for the money as "whoring yourself out". The meaning is quite obvious. What exactly is upsetting you so much?

| |
|
Chesschatology: Don't you get it?
Short dislikes the pompous, sanctimonious and self-righteously earnest. He WANTS to annoy them.
He DOESN'T want to placate them.
And he DOESN'T CARE what people think.
Those who villify him he takes for morons whose villification he values!

Chesschatology: <acirce>
That is a frightening piece indeed. Perhaps it would be better to have a more draw-inclined player as world-president. Kramnik say.

| | Apr-17-07 Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian
| |
|
Chesschatology: I'm reading Kaspy's new book "How life immitates chess". He calls Petrosian the "Inaction-Hero".
Droll, no?

Chesschatology: Ray! Ray!
Who was better at controlling the square e4 on the Black side of Nimzo-Indians, Capa, Reshevsky, or Smyslov??
