|
champsylove: In my blitz games I get the old, " it is an unsound gambit" That rhetoric usually comes from the side that loses. Beautiful smith morra game to add to my collection Looks like Lawrence Trent is going to have to do a smith morra 2 for chessbase.

| |
|
champsylove: Plenty, the fact that Morozoevich uses it shows it has great creative potential, which it is why I play it. Victor Bologan has used it with good success on occasions and of course Nigel Davis, who does a very respectable chessbase dvd on the subject.

champsylove: Congratulations Spidey! I think the Boy Wonder was a little too cavalier with the web slinger. I agree, great video Kingcrusher!

champsylove: Garech: Good post.
Elite skeptics, they are the ones who delight in telling us all that Tal's sacs were unsound, yet would have been blown away by him otb. The KID is a beautiful university of chess, its potential for dynamism, creativity and sacrafice against whites prime ...

champsylove: There are so many different criteria that we can use to define greatness, that makes this discussion interesting but ultimately pointless.
Rating, longevity, contribution to chess theory, comparable GM opponent strength, number of titles, grade inflation, natural chess ability.
