May-19-13 Svidler vs Karjakin, 2013    kellmano: <vincenze> 54. Bxg7+ then eventually get the rook and enough pawns or the queen.      May-18-13 Kenneth Rogoff    kellmano: <HeMateMe: <Shams> That buffoon constantly bad mouths the USA, acting like we are the great satan of the universe. Don't you find THAT tedious? You should. I certainly do. I only, ONLY respond to him mentioning his country *by name* because HE constantly bad mouths OUR ...      May-17-13 Carlsen vs Wang Hao, 2013    kellmano: Gotta fancy Black here. The comp says no, but the defence looks very tough      Apr-21-13 Ding Liren vs Aronian, 2013    kellmano: Great stuff from my boy Ding. On move 32, 'oh no I've lost an exchange. Wait up I'll sac my knight on d5'.      Apr-20-13 FIDE Grand Prix Zug (2013)    kellmano: The players are going quickly today. Leko - Naka looks crazy      Apr-20-13 Kamsky vs Topalov, 2013    kellmano: According to the official site this is Giri - Radjabov      Apr-19-13 Morozevich vs Mamedyarov, 2013    kellmano: <The marriage which has been talked about much especially after SOCAR-Azerbaijan has won the European Club Cup, happened yesterday> Great first sentence. Great photos as well, with Mamedyarov looking a lot like a Bond villain.      Apr-10-13 Team White vs Team Black, 2013     Apr-01-13 Ivanchuk vs Kramnik, 2013    kellmano: Fair play to Carlsen in the press conference. I would be totally distracted by the other game. In fact, I'd be standing next to the board suggesting moves with a cough.      Mar-31-13 Kramnik vs Gelfand, 2013    kellmano: <PQB4> I agree. Neither post was offensive, or suggesting things should be otherwise, they were rather expressing an opinion. It's not one I agree with but it annoys me when people try to suggest chess players are beyond cbeing spoken of in (relatively) negative terms. Same ...

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 6 OF 8 ·  Later Kibitzing> Aug-06-08    WarmasterKron: I'll see you there, <kellmano>. Are you going to be getting there for the start? Aug-07-08    mack: I'm only back in London on 15 August - are either of you likely to be watching any of the last three rounds? Aug-07-08    WarmasterKron: <mack> I'd be able to make the rounds on the 16th and 17th, otherwise I'll be working. Aug-07-08    mack: Wickedo. 16th, then? Sep-03-08    WarmasterKron: I arrived at Simpsons quite late on the 8th, so I must have missed you. I didn't hang around that long, either. I did meet up with mack on the 16th, though. Played a few casual games in the bar and managed to win a single game - against a 7 year old boy. Sep-05-08    kellmano: <Kron> It's a well known fact that 7 year old boys are the hardest to beat. Sep-06-08    WarmasterKron: They're easier to beat than mack - for a start they don't tend to play sodding 1...g6!

Otherwise, I'd have certainly been up for some rapid action. Jun-02-09    zanshin: <<Zanshin> Do you view these examples as anomolies, or are you trying to suggest that computers are not as good as we think they are? Personally, I would very much go for the former.> <kellmano> Thanks for your note. Most of the examples in my header were taken from Robin Smith 2004 Modern Chess Analysis. His inspiration is <Computers are incredibly fast, accurate, and stupid; humans are incredibly slow, inaccurate and brilliant; together they are powerful beyond imagination. - Albert Einstein> He disputes that Einstein said this, but he agrees completely with the statement. And that is the point of the examples: to show situations where engines are weak in order to use them most effectively. A follow-up to your question might be: How often do these positions arise? I would say: "Quite often." Take the example of quiet positions. How often are you in a game where "there is nothing to do"? A human player tries to find something to do, ie by making a long term plan yielding an advantage. A computer does not, so it will come up with typical moves like shuffling Rooks from one square to another. When you recognize this, you are aware the recommended move or line may be useless and can explore other forms of analysis (eg sliding forward to test your plan). Jul-06-09    chessmoron: Don't forget to predict for Round 5-10. Jul-09-09    chessmoron: Don't forget to predict for Round 7 or future rounds. Sep-25-09    OhioChessFan: Be sure to stop by my forum for the Pearl Spring Moves Prediction Conteset. Pairings to be announced Sunday? OhioChessFan chessforum Oct-17-09    kellmano: allanyeullane understalland sullame wullards froullam eculla? Nov-04-09    OhioChessFan: Be sure to check out my forum for the Tal Memorial Moves Prediction Contest starting tomorrow. Click on Elvis for details. Nov-26-09    OhioChessFan: A quick look at your puzzle shows me that Black wants to get his Bishop to d5 or f3 and the White King can stop only one at a time. I suppose that's the theme. Nov-26-09    OhioChessFan: Okay. When you have a passed Pawn, push it. Then Black gets tangled up on c2 and White wins. Jan-15-10    OhioChessFan: Be sure to check out my forum for the Corus Moves Prediction Contest starting tomorrow. Click on Elvis for details. Mar-28-10    thegoodanarchist: <kellmano> Thanks for posting a different interpretation of my question on Nigel Short's page. I got the impression he has been asked before and does not want to hear such questions anymore! May-01-10    Sim1: Kellmano, I am from the Brighton and Hove chess club. If you want to play OTB then come to the club 7pm on Wednesdays and 2pm on saturdays! Best Simon Hayward May-01-10    Sim1: You're not my old philosophy tutor are you? May-01-10    Sim1: Murali actually put in quite strong performance in the Mid-Sussex Chess league this year. He also comes to our club on occasion although he plays for another team. Anyway, I will turn on my personal forum to avoid blocking up this page too much with chatter.
