VinnyRoo2002: Is there a relay error here? I'm struggling to understand the point behind 20....Be6.

| | Sep-27-09 Kasparov vs Karpov, 2009
| |
|
VinnyRoo2002: Karpov's general match plan to trade off his dark squared bishop on d6 once Kasparov developed his dark squared bishop to f4 turned out to be disastrous. Often times, Karpov developed the bishop to e7 first then proceeded it to move it to d6. I wonder if the plan is no good or ...

| |
|
VinnyRoo2002: I disagree that Nakamura would go 100-0 against 1700 FIDE rated players under tournament time controls. There's obviously no way to prove this minus him actually playing 100 games against 1700 FIDE rated players, but Nakamura does have a history of giving up draws or even ...

VinnyRoo2002: I prefer the quote, "You are not as good as you look when you win and you are not as bad as you look when you lose."

VinnyRoo2002: He has hustled me more than once at Washington Square Park. I guess it's not really hustling once you know your opponent is much better, but either way, I've lost my share of dollars to him.

|
VinnyRoo2002: Does anybody think that computers will be left to play on there own from the very beginning of the game? I mean if they're able to calculate so well, I think the day is near when they start playing without an opening book. Of course, that does not preclude the fact that they ...

|
VinnyRoo2002: Of course he wasn't cheating. The fact we've spent so much time debating it is quite silly.

VinnyRoo2002: That is strange. I'm hoping it was time pressure.

| | Apr-16-09 Fischer vs Petrosian, 1959
| |
|
VinnyRoo2002: I think that's a very valid reason. Someday soon, if either Carlsen, Karjakin, Radjabov, or some other young player becomes World Champion, a lot of games played now and in the last couple of years (while they were already GMs) will be viewed at as being played before that ...
