Notagm: The stronger the engine, the greater its ability to rank players. Due to Rybka 2011 being considerably stronger than Fritz 2005, Rybka 2011 is a much better predictor of playing strength. To make it more obvious for you, let's go back to the 1980s when chess computers only played at ...

| |
|
Notagm: Would 13. Qh5 check have been stronger than 13. Qg4?

| | Apr-01-11 Rybka vs Nakamura, 2008
| |
|
Notagm: Picard: It is you who is presumably knew to chess, or computer chess at any rate (I'm assuming you are aware that Rybka is an opponent of the silicon variety). On every chess computer I've ever played, the computer automatically calls it a draw upon the occurrence of the 50 move ...

| |
|
Notagm: Pjalle: Had Carlsen played on, the possibility exists that he might have lost!

| | Jun-23-10 Fischer vs Smyslov, 1967
| |
|
Notagm: Why not 40... Ra1 to win White's a pawn? Black could then advance his a pawn.

| | Apr-18-10 M Bluvshtein vs J Rowson, 2008
| |
|
Notagm: I disagree; White committed suicide by castling into trouble. With the closed pawn centre, he should have kept his King in the centre, at least until Black's pawn on e4 was blockaded.

|
Notagm: Ray: A question if I may. I have been reading about problem solving competitions as a distinct form of the game, and was wondering if there is a high correlation between problem solving skills and over the board play.

| | Apr-17-10 S Collins vs Flear, 2001
| |
|
Notagm: Al Wazir: Yes, but when the dust settles, White has Q, B, and 4 pawns vs Q, B and 2 pawns.

| | Apr-14-10 Kasparov vs Adams, 1993
| |
|
Notagm: James Bowman: You say Kasparov "has the most complete game chess has ever seen, and his tactics are second to none in chess history." That's a slight overstatement. Players like Fischer and Capablanca were stronger positionally, and also in the endgame. With regard to tactics, Tal ...
