I am a maths student from Sydney University. I am a big fan of chess although I am not very good at it.

My all-time favourite chessgames quote:
Russian Championship Superfinal (2005) Referring to the following game:
E Tomashevsky vs Kramnik, 2005

Another good quote:
Magnus Carlsen

Here are some Nostradamus impersonators:
Hikaru Nakamura (he ended up tied 6th-9th out of 12, and was never higher than 5th after any round)

Sebastien Feller (this was regarding a player who was later found guilty of cheating and banned for 3 years)

gazzawhite: <Phony Benoni> What does white play against 25.Rxc7 Qd8 ?
 
   Jan-23-12 Gelfand vs Kamsky, 2012 (replies)
 
gazzawhite: <galdur> Thanks!
 
   Jan-23-12 C Wallis vs G Jones, 2012
 
gazzawhite: After move 74, white had a pretty mate in 6: 75.Kf6 h4 76.Nf8 Kh6 ...
 
   Jan-21-12 Lahno vs D Harika, 2012
 
gazzawhite: 58.Kh7? gives away the win. The only winning move was 58.Be4 (followed by Bg6)

gazzawhite: <parmetd> True.
 
   Jan-19-12 Potkin vs D Vocaturo, 2012 (replies)
 
gazzawhite: Black was winning up until move 83. 83...Ng5?? fails as, in getting the knight to g3, white has enough time to infiltrate the e8-h4 diagonal. Instead, 83...h5! wins, as white cannot get to the e8-h4 diagonal in time,
 
   Jan-18-12 A Caoili vs M Baron, 2002 (replies)
 
gazzawhite: <Uvulu> "He" is actually a she.
 
   Jan-03-12 O Johannesson vs D Calder, 2011
 
gazzawhite: The game was a draw after move 61. Instead of 62...Re8+, black needed to play 62...b2 or 62...Rd3+. The resulting position would be KQQ vs KQR where it would be tricky, but theoretically possible, for black to hold.
 
   Jan-03-12 Beliavsky vs L E Johannessen, 2002
 
gazzawhite: While this was the only move that allows mate, in the game N J Fries Nielsen vs Hoi, 1981 , white plays the only move that FORCES mate by black!

gazzawhite: <shach matov: We have to realize that Kasparov has actually proven that he could compete against the best modern comps (when he was still active) on their level, while we can't say the same about BF or Capa.> Yes we can. Fischer played against Greenblatt in 1977: Greenblatt
