IMlday: Thanks <D4n>. If you're eager and enthusiastic that goes a long way. One tip is that chess is complicated, you don't have to understand it, just understand it better than the other guy.

| |
|
IMlday: This was from the critical 5th round of a Toronto Open. Instead of 9..e5?! Francois should exchange 9..cxd4 first. Although it seems like a small error White's initiative grows as attacking moves follow one another right up to 16.Nxg5! prying open his King. 24.g4! is
patient and ...

IMlday: I would have liked to see what VK would have played against 2..d5! which discouraged me from trying this again.

IMlday: I had this line prepared in 1977. It's wicked. In this game White falls into the trap but Black doesn't notice! 11.Rb1? is refuted by the surprise 11..Nxe4! since 12.Nxe4 h6 13.Qh5 (Not 13.Bh4 Qb4+) d5 14.Nd2 g6 15.Qh4 Bg7 15.Bf6 g5 is very promising for Black. I got a point from ...

IMlday: "changed his move" translates "innovated"
as 10..Nd5 is approved theory from Grischuk-Kasparov 2002; "steep" translates "precipitous" as in diving off a steep cliff; "throwing in the sponge" means signalling the end of a boxing match by one's trainer throwing the towel into the ...

| |
IMlday: 12..a4 fits with the plan of 11..Nfd7 so that move might be the better place to look for a deviation. 11..Ne8 is a possibility. The  f6 is awkward there but it covers d5 so that c6xd5 will always allow Black to exchange ...

IMlday: <HeMateMe> 5-minutes, no increments. There were preliminary groups and a final. Browne missed qualifying but he wasn't yet the star he became. Benko didn't play; don't recall Lombardy.
No Fischer (alas).

IMlday: They play this move order to avoid the Bishop's Gambit.

IMlday: Idaho is wrong for toxic sludge coz too much downstream. Better drain to land-locked salt lake containment.

IMlday: Here's a hypothetical conspiracy theory:
March 2005 Fischer arrives in Iceland;
April 2005 UBS strips his account of gold and sends the rest to an Icelandic bank. (in 2005 gold will zoom to $444; in 2006 to $750) Fischer sends it back;
August 2005 Fischer holds a press ...
