Troller: Current game Shimanov-Khairullin is a Slav. So you'd think they would flash out 15-20 moves or so before the actual game would begin. But after 8.Be2 the players have 1:10 and 0:46 left, respectively: [DIAGRAM] The Be6 Breyer variation looks quite insane, but it is analysed and ...

| |
|
Troller: <I know Lasker wasn't playing tournament chess in his 70s, like Korchnoi. But I think he had stronger results in the elite tournaments, in his 50s and 60s, than Korchnoi did at a similar age.> Korchnoi won the double round robin 1990 Rotterdam. Opponents were Gurevich, Short ...

| |
|
Troller: <frogbert> wrote 2696,4 or something like that. He should know. Nielsen commented on the fact that he had achieved his highest ever rating by playing opponents almost exclusively rated below himself. A bit absurd, but as he put it, he didn't mind. In Rising Stars vs Experience
