Volmac: <chessmoron> I don't think white can win. My Fritz gives 48.Kf2 as the best move but after the variation 48...Ra2+ 49.Ke3 Ra3+ 50.Ke2 Ra2+ 51.Kd3 Ra3+ 52.Kc2 Rxf3 53.Rxd5 Kg4 there is a database draw. Kudos to Carlsen for a perfect defensive play.

Volmac: (after the breakfast they quickly set up five boards for a nine-round Blitz tournament. Kasparov demands that whatever number he is given at the drawing of lots, he should be playing under number 13 anyway. He is rejected that plea, gets number 8 and is not happy) Dee: Results round ...

Volmac: Being the World Champion is a very heavy burden for Kramnik since he is not able to produce the results fans are expecting. There is a problem in the fact that his three predecessors (Fischer, Karpov, Kasparov) were extremely dominant Champions and probably the greatest chessplayers ...

Volmac: <tpstar> The correct opening name is Relfson Gambit. Both Malmdin and Hjorth play for the same chessclub as I do, funny!
