erasmus: <frogbert> You are right. ÎâÎÄèª 0-1 ²·ÏéÖ¾(¿ì) does read like Wu Wenjin - Bu Xiangzhi 0-1 (Rapid). ¿ì (pronounced kuai) means 'fast' or 'quick'.

erasmus: In the game S Himanshu vs D P Singh, 2006 Singh plays 11...Nd7 (don't see the plan with this, maybe going to c5 or sth?) while the computer says 11...Bd7 and the next move 12...Nf6 (he plays the knight back again) where the computer says 12...Bf6. These kind of small(in)human moves ...
