bobbylee: In "Chess is My Life" Korchnoi admits frankly that Botvinnik "outplayed me by all the rules. But at the time I did not know the rules."

| |
|
bobbylee: For some reason, Kasparov's play on the black side of the Nimzo-Indian has generally always left something to be desired. Almost as if he has never been comfortable in with that opening. He had defeats on the back side in several notable games, such as in his first candidates match

bobbylee: Score must be wrong. Just 33.Qxb8 wins a rook.

bobbylee: I think I can safely say that no one's really interested in your idea of a "brilliancy" lmAJ. That's like asking a blind man to describe the Mona Lisa.

| |
|
bobbylee: "Unless it's just another of Kamsky's hugely efficient kills." I'm inclined to think it's good preparation. Seirawan's 18. ... Kh8 doesn't look like an improvement on 18. ... Qb6 of the stem game. Seirawan might have smelled a rat and deviated, so we'll have to wait and see what ...
