HolyKnight: <Al Wazir> in the 1950s Milk Men could buy a nice small house and support a small family. All this guy did was drive a truck and bring milk to people's houses. My how far we have come! Now people with master degrees who are in their 50s beg for jobs! Technology has killed ...

HolyKnight: With 10 games in this data base with the French Tarrasch Defense he is 9 draws and 1 win. Now many of his opponents were lower rated then him. But I still found that very interesting.

| |
|
HolyKnight: Hey Magnus do this,
6 vs 0 victory over Taimanov
6 vs 0 victory over Larsen
6 1/2 vs 2 1/2 over Petrosian
That's a world champion. Not some win a tournament and one match after that.

| | Sep-26-11 S Baumegger vs E Fucak, 2010
| |
|
HolyKnight: This is interesting how this starts as an English Opening and then the position looks like a closed Benoni.
|
|
| | Sep-19-11 Christiansen vs R Hess, 2011
| |
|
HolyKnight: This line is on Roman's DvD on the Bogo. He talks about white losing a pawn.

| |
|
HolyKnight: Good try Gata.

|
HolyKnight: Next game should be interesting. Svidler and Gata are both Grunfeld Experts. Go Gata, get him!

| | May-31-11 Vladimir Kramnik
| |
|
HolyKnight: Every thing I have read about Kramnik, he just sounds like a very nice man. I wonder even if you were a lowly C player he would answer a question you asked him. I bet he would.

| | May-24-11 Grischuk vs Gelfand, 2011
| |
|
HolyKnight: All but one of white's pawns are on a black square. If more pieces get exchanged off that bishop might go yum yum.

|
| | May-22-11 World Championship Candidates Final (2011)
| |
|
HolyKnight: I think Gelfand chickened out. If you have black and a good position, go for the win. If you do win the match is probably over in this format.
