Oct-26-11 Feuerstein vs Bennett, 1955    cuppajoe: Lesson learned: if you're going to fianchetto your , fianchetto your !      Oct-16-11 15th Unive (Crown Group) (2011)    cuppajoe: MVL and Judit have called it a day. So Kramnik won with an exciting attack in the King's Indian and Polgar used impeccable endgame technique to draw a positional QID. I would've thought it would be the other way around.      Oct-13-11 Judit Polgar    cuppajoe: Thanks <Rook e2>! I was correct about the schedule, right? The open group is nothing to sneeze at either: 10 players rated over 2500 including Tiviakov.      Oct-13-11 B Wall vs W Wall, 1969    cuppajoe: Wall to Wall gambits?      Oct-12-11 Tal vs Dorfman, 1978   cuppajoe: < I don't understand 27..a4.> According to Joel Gallagher passive defence will get him steamrolled, so he tries to activate his rook on the queenside. Unfortunately, his rook does nothing on the queenside and he just loses the pawn.      Oct-11-11 4th Bilbao Masters (2011)    cuppajoe: <Why do so many chess fans give this big, darkish, burly man the diminutive nickname 'Chuky'?> It's almost a tradition to call chess players by diminutives (Mikhail Tal = Misha, Vladimir Kramnik = Volodya, Vishwanathan Anand = Vishy, Robert Fischer = Bobby, etc.)      Oct-11-11 Pillsbury vs Albin, 1895    cuppajoe: RRRufff: 5. c3?? Nxe4 gives up a pawn for free. After 5. 0-0 Black can still take the pawn, but he can't keep it.      Oct-10-11 Kasparov-Short Blitz Match (2011)    cuppajoe: <Apparently the old rivalry was still alive as the players refused to negotiate the time control face to face and a middleman had to be used.> For a blitz match? It was just for fun! It meant nothing!      Oct-05-11 12th Karpov International (2011)    cuppajoe: <Does Canada have a lot of Baltic immigrants?> The Vancouver Keres memorial is so named because Paul Keres played (and won) his last tournament here. But to answer your question: probably.      Sep-27-11 Ivanchuk vs Vallejo-Pons, 2011    cuppajoe: @<messachess> He had about 9 seconds on his clock according to chessbomb. Chucky had about 20.      Mar-26-11 E Rayner vs J L Watson, 1978    Mar-21-11 Grischuk vs M Gurevich, 2000    Feb-11-11 T L Petrosian vs E Tomashevsky, 2011     Feb-07-11 V Eynard vs R Cosulich, 1967     Feb-04-11 Caro-Kann, Panov-Botvinnik Attack (B14)     Jan-29-11 Anand vs A Giri, 2011     Jan-28-11 Tata Steel (2011)     Jan-24-11 Shirov vs Grischuk, 2011     Jan-21-11 Tata Steel (Group C) (2011)     Jan-21-11 E L'Ami vs Nakamura, 2011     Jan-12-11 J Augustin vs Nunn, 1977     Nov-09-10 B Andonov vs Lputian, 1987     Nov-08-10 Reti vs Nimzowitsch, 1927    Nov-05-10 Botvinnik vs Smyslov, 1957    Nov-04-10 Tal Memorial (2010)     Nov-03-10 Smyslov vs W Pietzsch, 1961    Nov-02-10 S Bogner vs G Bwalya, 2010     Nov-01-10 Rybka vs Nakamura, 2008     Oct-31-10 Spassky vs Fischer, 1960     Oct-30-10 Short vs Vaganian, 1985     Oct-29-10 A Kupferstich vs J Andreassen, 1953     Oct-25-10 NN vs Lasker, 1900     Oct-18-10 Steinitz vs Chigorin, 1892    Oct-14-10 B Vuckovic vs Grischuk, 2010    Oct-11-10 V Vepkhvishvili vs D Magalashvili, 1966     Aug-17-10 C Poulsen vs R Grau, 1937     Aug-16-10 Taimanov vs R Persitz, 1955     Aug-13-10 A Lehtinen vs T Simola, 1995     Aug-13-10 Queen's Pawn Game (A45)     Aug-13-10 Ivanchuk vs Carlsen, 2009    Aug-11-10 French, Winawer (C15)     Aug-09-10 K Arakhamia-Grant vs Larsen, 1993    Jul-31-10 British Championship (2010)     Jul-28-10 K Bischoff vs R Buhmann, 2008     Jul-21-10 Deep Fritz vs Deep Junior, 2001     Jul-20-10 H Buckle vs NN, 1840     Jul-19-10 I Krush vs A Melekhina, 2010    Jul-19-10 A Zatonskih vs I Krush, 2010     Jul-16-10 Lasker vs C Golmayo, 1893     Jul-13-10 The Turk vs NN, 1770     Jul-12-10 P Clarke vs Petrosian, 1958    Jul-10-10 Tartakower vs Colle, 1925     Jul-09-10 Spielmann vs Tartakower, 1920    Jul-05-10 Petrosian vs Najdorf, 1966    Jul-03-10 Tartakower vs NN, 1933    Jul-03-10 E Jacobsen vs Tartakower, 1923    Jul-03-10 Wahltuch vs H G Cole, 1919     Jul-02-10 Bacrot vs Kramnik, 2005     Jul-02-10 Anand vs Topalov, 2010     Jun-22-10 Carlsen vs Radjabov, 2010     Jun-19-10 King's Tournament (2010)     Jun-17-10 Carlsen vs Wang Yue, 2010     Jun-02-10 Neergard vs Simagin, 1965     Dec-11-08 Laszlo Szabo     Dec-11-08 T Ledic vs Szabo, 1970    Dec-08-08 Yelena Dembo     Mar-07-08 Karpov vs Korchnoi, 1978     Mar-07-08 E F Pecci vs Fritz, 2001    Mar-03-08 Maroczy / Rollans vs Korchnoi, 1985     Mar-02-08 J Kleczynski Jr vs Duchamp, 1924     Feb-26-08 Tal vs D Gurevich, 1988
