My e-mail address is: VampguyAol.com, drop me an e-mail and Id be more than happy to chat:) I am a "D" pawn player almost exclusively and prefer the Caro-Kann( Classical, or Bronstein/Larsen and Korchnoi variations), French (Classic or MacCutcheon),an occasional Najdorf Sicilian and off beat Sicilian, and the Slav and Grunfeld openings as the black pieces go. Love to talk, so drop me a line anytime! MY AOL screen name is Vampguy and on Yahoo! I am JeffJ362000...I am always happy to talk about Chess and would love any communication:)

Jul-28-06 Carlsen vs A Volokitin, 2006    dragon40: I actually agree with <acirce> here, He is an incredible talent, but let him lose one game and everyone is on the "hes not that good, or he's a flash in the pan bandwagon".If you look at the best GM's, there has always been 1 player that they just cannot seem to do well ...      Jul-12-06 Grunfeld (D85)    dragon40: <Hesam7> I play the Grunfeld as Black and since I am a d4 player, I also face it quite a bit. I prefer the exchange variation most of all, just because I think it gives White better chances... I think there is still a huge amount of play left in the Russian System, mainly ...      Jul-10-06 Navara vs Svidler, 2006    dragon40: <Honza Cervenka> Thanks, I did not know that and Yes, that makes very good sense to me now ! :)      Jun-27-06 Kramnik-Topalov World Championship Match (2006)    dragon40: I have not commented on my thoughts on the match for a few reasons...but I feel like sharing now. Most people oin this site know how I do not care fro KRamnik at all, period! BUT, the fact is, he has had SO much time to study Topalov and prepare, since he has not played..who knows ...      May-29-06 Magnus Carlsen    dragon40: <Mulholland> I agree, and I found the comment egotistical and arrogant, but as you say, you need that type of confidence, or attitude to win! I think hes games do display more confidence and he is definitely sure of himself right now. In the worst case scenario, he gets blown      Apr-18-06 dragon40 chessforum    dragon40: <themadhair> I agree, and when you research, I think you will find the variation is not so bad for Black! the little analysis on it, plus the opportunity for originality makes it appealing to me...a nice departure from my standard Caro Kann!      Jan-22-06 Mikhail Botvinnik    dragon40: Well, regardles of the "Facts" or mios-truths opr whatever is going on, I admoire Botcinnik;s play and games. He was ahead of his time and worked hard on and off the cherssboard. His work regimen was well documented and his competitive instinct and winning spirit are also very ...      Jul-18-05 Vladimir Kramnik    dragon40: As I have said before, this is a rich and diverse site and we ALL have the right to criticise or praise who we want to based on our opinions! That is wahy this is kibitzing and not a sole based on fact site! I dislike Kramnik as much as most people that love chess do, but I ...      Jul-17-05 Bacrot vs Kramnik, 2005    dragon40: Great Game!! I am glad that this tournament was a pretty successful one as far as the fighting Chess that MOST of the players went for. Lot of good hard fought games, whether they be win, lose or draw. The result was great as well...Bacrot deserved this Win and he earned it by ...      Jul-17-05 Carlsen vs A Groenn, 2005    dragon40: <azaris: A glance at his opponent's rating should cool down the enthusiasm a bit.> TRue BUT how many of Tal;s opponents in that Zurich tournament and others were far below his level but he was hailed as Magnus is now? I think it is great that people have a chess figure they ...      Jul-04-05 Efim Geller Memorial (2005)     Jul-03-05 I Sokolov vs Shirov, 2005     Jun-29-05 Caro-Kann (B10)     Jun-26-05 Hydra vs Adams, 2005     Jun-23-05 Queen's Gambit Declined Semi-Slav, Meran (D48)     Jun-20-05 Hydra vs Adams, 2005     May-23-05 Kramnik vs Topalov, 2005     May-03-05 Benko Gambit (A57)     Apr-24-05 Hikaru Nakamura     Apr-22-05 Viswanathan Anand     Apr-22-05 Old Indian (A53)     Apr-20-05 Sicilian (B33)     Apr-20-05 Queen's Gambit Declined, Ragozin Variation (D38)     Apr-16-05 Garry Kasparov     Apr-13-05 Anand vs Kasparov, 1995     Apr-13-05 Kasparov vs Anand, 1995    Apr-13-05 Anand vs Kasparov, 1995     Apr-13-05 Anand vs Kasparov, 1995     Apr-13-05 Kasparov vs Anand, 1995     Apr-12-05 Kasparov vs Anand, 1995     Apr-12-05 Anand vs Kasparov, 1995     Apr-12-05 Anand vs Kasparov, 1995     Apr-11-05 Kasparov vs Anand, 1995     Apr-11-05 Anand vs Kasparov, 1995     Apr-11-05 Kasparov vs Anand, 1995     Apr-11-05 Anand vs Kasparov, 1995     Apr-11-05 Kasparov vs Anand, 1995     Apr-11-05 Anand vs Kasparov, 1995     Apr-11-05 Kasparov vs Anand, 1995     Apr-09-05 Philidor Defense (C41)     Apr-08-05 Queen's Gambit Declined (D06)     Apr-04-05 Sicilian, Najdorf (B90)     Apr-02-05 Caro-Kann Defense (B12)     Mar-13-05 Queen's Gambit Declined (D55)     Mar-12-05 Queen's Pawn Game (A40)     Mar-12-05 Kibitzer's Café     Mar-11-05 Nimzo-Indian, 4.e3 O-O 5.Bd3 (E47)     Mar-10-05 Topalov vs Kasimdzhanov, 2005     Mar-09-05 Topalov vs Kasparov, 2005     Mar-08-05 Kasparov vs Anand, 2005     Mar-08-05 Adams vs Kasparov, 2005     Mar-07-05 Rustam Kasimdzhanov     Mar-06-05 Kasimdzhanov vs Anand, 2005     Mar-05-05 Kasparov vs Vallejo-Pons, 2005     Mar-05-05 Timman vs Karpov, 1993     Mar-04-05 Kasimdzhanov vs Kasparov, 2005     Mar-03-05 Kasparov vs Leko, 2005     Feb-27-05 Kasparov vs Adams, 2005     Feb-18-05 Yermolinsky vs Beliavsky, 2005     Feb-10-05 Caro-Kann, Bronstein-Larsen Variation (B16)     Feb-04-05 Caro-Kann, Classical (B18)     Feb-04-05 Caro-Kann, Exchange (B13)     Jan-17-05 Leko vs Svidler, 2005     Jan-16-05 Kramnik vs Topalov, 2005     Jan-15-05 Corus Chess Tournament (2005)     Jan-15-05 Judit Polgar vs Svidler, 2005     Nov-21-04 Kasparov vs Dreev, 2004     Oct-12-04 Kramnik-Leko World Championship Match (2004)     Oct-12-04 Leko vs Kramnik, 2004     Oct-10-04 Kramnik vs Leko, 2004     Oct-09-04 Leko vs Kramnik, 2004     Oct-03-04 Kramnik vs Leko, 2004     Oct-02-04 Leko vs Kramnik, 2004     Sep-24-04 Leko vs Kramnik, 2004     Aug-20-04 Botvinnik vs Tal, 1960     Aug-02-04 Dortmund Sparkassen (2004)     Jul-24-04 Sicilian, Scheveningen, Classical (B85)     Jul-12-04 Kasimdzhanov vs Adams, 2004     Jul-11-04 Adams vs Kasimdzhanov, 2004     Jul-10-04 Kasimdzhanov vs Adams, 2004     Jul-03-04 Adams vs Radjabov, 2004     Jul-03-04 Radjabov vs Adams, 2004     Jul-02-04 Adams vs Radjabov, 2004     Jul-01-04 Radjabov vs Adams, 2004     Jun-29-04 Akopian vs Adams, 2004     Jun-28-04 Adams vs Akopian, 2004     Jun-27-04 Adams vs Nakamura, 2004     Jun-26-04 Nakamura vs Adams, 2004     Jun-25-04 Adams vs H Hamdouchi, 2004     Jun-23-04 Bacrot vs Radjabov, 2004     Jun-20-04 Lputian vs M Gagunashvili, 2004     Jun-20-04 Short vs H M A Kadhi, 2004     Jun-20-04 Aronian vs Carlsen, 2004     Jun-19-04 I Morovic vs V Iordachescu, 2004    Jun-19-04 Topalov vs T Abulhul, 2004     Jun-19-04 M Paragua vs Bologan, 2004     Jun-19-04 Adams vs H Asabri, 2004     Jun-19-04 K Solomon vs Grischuk, 2004     Jun-19-04 H M A Kadhi vs Short, 2004     Jun-19-04 FIDE World Championship Knockout Tournament (2004)     Jun-19-04 Vaganian vs E Ghaem Maghami, 2004     Jun-19-04 Bacrot vs P Charbonneau, 2004    May-17-04 Rublevsky vs A Volokitin, 2004     Apr-30-04 Najdorf vs Reshevsky, 1952    Mar-31-04 Plaskett vs Kamsky, 1989     Mar-23-04 Epishin vs Dreev, 2004    Mar-11-04 Karpov vs Kasparov, 1984     Mar-10-04 Korchnoi vs Larsen, 1967     Mar-07-04 Tal vs Botvinnik, 1966     Mar-05-04 Kramnik vs Kasparov, 2004     Mar-05-04 Vallejo-Pons vs Kasparov, 2004     Feb-14-04 F Treybal vs Marshall, 1908     Feb-14-04 Tarrasch vs Pribulsky, 1880     Feb-14-04 Tal vs Botvinnik, 1960     Dec-27-03 Marshall vs Capablanca, 1909     Dec-27-03 Kasparov vs Karpov, 1988     Dec-17-03 Plath vs V Hergert, 1986    Dec-16-03 Gelfand vs Hertneck, 1994
