parmetd Member since Nov-04-07 CHESSGAMES CHALLENGE IX: My forum is to be utilized in anyway general or specific for the discussion of future openings and strategies against our would be opponent (possible Grandmaster Michael Adams). Repertoire Explorer: Michael Adams (white) stunningmove has offered his forum for discussion strictly in regard to the Sicilian. stunningmove chessforum Tabanus has updated his forum for discussion in regard to the French.

I love the players of the past almost more than the players of today for their clear crisp styles.

If ratings mean that much to you, you can now place me within the realm of your statistics! "You know, when you achieve something in Norway, well, you're not supposed to get above yourself. This is especially big in my country, that you- how do I explain this? - that you're not supposed to think you're better than anyone else only because you had success in some field, and you will always find someone ready to point this out to you in Norway." Magnus Carlsen "Critics are men who watch a battle from a high place, then come down and shoot the survivors." - Ernest Hemingway

May-22-13 Anand-Carlsen World Championship (2013)    parmetd: Oh please CIO, who are you kidding? Of course, you are aware that An and can calculate too? andlet's not forget openings novelty bombs has always been a goal of any player'spreparation.      May-21-13 Magnus Carlsen    parmetd: will carlsen play anand again before their match? anyone know?      May-20-13 Kenneth Rogoff    parmetd: happy birthday Jim Bartle.      May-20-13 FIDE Grand Prix Thessaloniki (2013)    parmetd: I really don't understand the choice of Bacrot as a replacement for Radjabov. Why not choose Adams so that if one more player drops one time then you could have another candidate.      May-19-13 Hans Arild Runde    parmetd: Love that Douglas Adams quote :) Just stopped by your page to give you a lovely quote that you can use again and again :) "Luck favors those who do not depend on it nor need it."      May-19-13 Norway Chess Tournament (2013)    parmetd: Anyone have links to the press conferences?      May-18-13 J L Hammer vs Nakamura, 2013    parmetd: The noteboom has been all but completely refuted by Correspondence chess. It appears Hammer just forgot theory as 16. f4? is a blunder and 16. Bc2 maintains the win.      May-14-13 Gata Kamsky    parmetd: Congrats Gata!      May-13-13 US Chess Championships (Women) (2013)    parmetd: Because both Krush and zatonskih have put up 8.5/9 scores about 6 times each. It is easy for them cause there is only ONE hard game per event: that with their rival. So instead of the odds being 1/million the odds are more like 1/2 that a perfect score happens.      May-12-13 US Chess Championships (2013)    parmetd: Well and look at Ramirez's easy schedule... he didn't even have to play Gareev.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 2 OF 20 ·  Later Kibitzing> Nov-29-11    Penguincw: Hi there. Enjoy your visit to London. Dec-01-11    parmetd: Thanks. I am already in London! Dec-02-11    cro777: Enjoy your visit. In the meantime, this is GMVA's most recent opening repertoire with black pieces: 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 <French, Classical> 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nd2 Nf6 <French, Tarrasch, Closed Variation> 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 c6 <Czech (Pribil) system> 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 d5 or 1.d4 e6 2.c4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 <Queen's Gambit Declined> 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c5 <Tarrasch Defense> 1.d4 d6 2.e4 Nf6 3.Nc3 c6 <Czech system> 1.d4 d6 2.Nf3 Bg4 <Wade Defense> 1.d4 d6 2.c4 e5 <English Rat> Dec-02-11    parmetd: I beat GM Akobian in a simul in the Wade Defense. I drew him when he played the Pribil. I seriously doubt he would use such cruddy systems in a serious game like this one. Dec-02-11    parmetd: Pictures I took at the London Chess Classic today. I will probably post more later to this site but for now with the slow internet connection this is all I had the patience for: http://londonchessclassic.shutterfl... enjoy! Dec-02-11    parmetd: okay added a few more photos! Dec-02-11    cro777: <I seriously doubt he would use such cruddy systems in a serious game like this one.> Probably he would not. In 2011 he was in position to defend against 1.d4 in four games (it seems that he has changed his repertoire): 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 d5 or 1.d4 e6 2. c4 Nf6 3.Nf3 d5 (three games) 1.d4 e6 2.c4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 Interestingly, his opponents declined the offer to play the French Defense. But in 2009-2010 he opted for the Wade Defense in no less than five games, including serious ones against Giri at Corus 2010 and very important games in the match against Tregubov at World Cup 2009. Dec-02-11    parmetd: link to my photos: http://londonchessclassic.shutterfl... Dec-02-11    wordfunph: <parmetd: as requested: http://londonchessclassic.shutterfl>... thank you.. Dec-02-11    cro777: VA has just won 47th Annual American Open in Orange County. 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 Slav instead of QGD (against Remlinger he played a novelty in the Slav Exchange) 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 Nbd7 4.Nf3 e5 Philidor instead of Pribil (against Khachiyan). He won both of these games. Dec-02-11    cro777: Thanks for the pictures. Dec-02-11    parmetd: Welcome for the photos! I hope to take some more tomorrow. Dec-03-11    wordfunph: <parmetd> pics appreciated.. how 'bout a clue on Levon's "book"? Dec-04-11    parmetd: It is about one the event's participants. Dec-04-11    cro777: Is it about Anand? Dec-04-11    wordfunph: down to 6/9.. magnus vlad naka vishy mickey nigel i guess the book by Naka.. Dec-04-11    parmetd: Well you guys took my comment a little too strictly. The event as in the whole Festival's set of events. Such a list would include anything by/about Nunn, Kasparov, Korchnoi and so forth. Dec-04-11    cro777: Garry Kasparov on Garry Kasparov Dec-04-11    wordfunph: Chess Secrets: Giants of Innovation: Learn from Steinitz, Lasker, Botvinnik, Korchnoi and Ivanchuk http://www.amazon.com/Chess-Secrets... Dec-05-11    parmetd: New photos up from yesterday and today including one of IMs, commentators Stephen Gordon and Lawrence Trent playing CLOCK blitz on a human size chess board. Also a nice one of Kramnik's daughter (and one of his daughter and wife). Dec-06-11    parmetd: new pictures up: http://londonchessclassic.shutterfl... And the book Aronian bought was Korchnoi's my life and games to have it signed! Dec-11-11    Penguincw: < parmetd: Um Howell is 2/8 not 2/7. He is done. -4. > Whoops. My bad. It's the bye that can be confusing. Plus, they don't even show the scores (like 13/7). Dec-11-11    parmetd: Yea I understand... it is confusing but I love the idea of the bye to even colors and have these top players as commentators. It gives the players a better feel for their personality as well. This LCC event is wonderful and while I could spend days typing up my memories and the conversations I've had... I am much too tired for that... so all I will share for now is some of my photos: http://londonchessclassic.shutterfl... Cheers! Dec-17-11    cro777: <chessgames.com: There is a better way to preserve the privacy of a preparation group. What if we made it so that designated forums are inaccessible to GMVA even during the "off months"?> <hms123: That would work well. We could use the User: analysis forum as the main home for the discussion. It was set up specifically for use in the World games.> I consider this to be a good idea, <parmetd>. If you agree, I might repost the material concerning the rematch (slightly edited) from your into <analysis forum>. Dec-18-11    parmetd: I agree! Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
