perfidious
Member since Dec-23-04 · Last seen Oct-28-09
These days, I play poker; haven't played chess since 2001. My FIDE rating is 2186 as of 2004, though I don't get out much nowadays. In 1981, I became a USCF master, and a life master in 1986. The players I've most admired in over thirty years of playing are, in no particular order, Lasker, Korchnoi, Bronstein, Larsen and Nakamura-fighters all.

   Oct-16-09 Karpov vs K Smith, 1972 (replies)
 
perfidious: Maybe this is why Smith stuck to poker.
 
   Oct-16-09 Alekhine vs O Tenner, 1911 (replies)
 
perfidious: This game never took place-see Reinfeld's 100 Instructive Games of Alekhine for the actual continuation.
 
   Sep-21-09 Fischer vs R Byrne, 1965
 
perfidious: <technical draw> Fischer's score in this event was 6.5/7 entering this round, and his loss to Reshevsky came in the next game.
 
   Sep-21-09 Reshevsky vs Fischer, 1965
 
perfidious: Long ago, Mednis suggested 10....d5 as an improvement over the text; while I don't recall his supporting analysis, the positions arising from lines such as 11.cxd5 Qxd5 can hardly be worse for Black than the static, strategically disadvantageous situation he faced in the actual ...
 
   Jul-13-09 Donostia Chess Festival (2009) (replies)
 
perfidious: <Everett> Are you really surprised by that result? It's a long haul to beat a 2700-class GM with Black.
 
   Jun-08-09 Dennis Waterman (replies)
 
perfidious: <whiskeyrebel> I played poker with Dennis in Tunica, Mississippi in 2003; he plays well indeed, but had bad luck that day.
 
   Jun-06-09 Alexey Shirov (replies)
 
perfidious: <return> Throwing away a game, as Shirov did vs Inarkiev in the first round at Poikovsky, can have disastrous effects on even a top-class player; they're only human beings as the rest of us are, not machines.

perfidious: <MaxxLange> Think of this: if soccer were the type of game where one could see scores such as 35-31, as in American football, it would have a far greater chance of being popular. Many Americans, and I'm one of them, like the action, and I believe there are a lot of people ...

perfidious: Here's a trenchant comment from Olbermann from his days on ESPN: 'You can't stop Mike Peca- you can only hope to hold him.'
 
   Mar-08-09 Bannik vs Korchnoi, 1957
 
perfidious: Just found my Korchnoi book and it also gives 25....Bb7, though I still wonder.
