Vollmer: I am fairly confident that Mr. Addison was quite amused that he quit competitive chess at his peak rating . I am also amused . Well done . RIP

Vollmer: What's this , no pic of Mr. Soltis ? <headshake>

| | Apr-29-10 Anand vs Topalov, 2010
| |
|
Vollmer: Just once , could they please castle opposite and have a brawl?

|
| | Apr-28-10 Topalov vs Anand, 2010
| |
|
Vollmer: 0500 west coast (groan....coffee please)

| | Apr-26-10 Anand-Topalov World Chess Championship (2010)
| |
|
Vollmer: I haven't changed my mind . I still think 12 is too few . 18 would be much better . Just my opinion .
|
|
| | Apr-26-10 Anand vs Topalov, 2010
| |
|
Vollmer: Don't ya hate it when all the pieces but one each side leaves the field and you are lost . Take notice that it happens to the top players too . Apparently Anand looked far and saw clear , bravo dude . Quite a contrast to game one .

| | Apr-09-10 Euwe vs Alekhine, 1935
| |
|
Vollmer: Nice game ; very counter-intuitive .

| | Nov-05-09 Smyslov vs Tal, 1959
| |
|
Vollmer: (reMARK-a-BOLE) LOL

|
| | Oct-09-09 Grischuk vs Aronian, 2009
| |
|
Vollmer: After a quick look I am wondering if the position after 13...Qe7 is worth a second look . Its quite dynamic and IMHO 14.0-0 might be a mistake . Methinks this might be one of those rare games where neither side needs to castle .

Vollmer: I will also add that I think that if Kasparov had this attitude , the chess community wouldn't argue about who is the best player .
