schoolsucks: <Alright, if philidor was to come today and spend a few months in our time studying current theory, he might place at a class-c or a class-b event, but probably not higher.> Jay, this statement is the most stupid statement I've heard since I got off of school on winter ...

schoolsucks: <In the other key matchup, it looks like Goldin has an easy win over Stripunsky if Goldin can get past some time pressure. He is an exchange up.> Does he have any compensation?

| |
|
schoolsucks: He should have never won the world championship though. Alekhine drank hits of whiskey before each game! Alekhine was probably more deadly a tactician then computers even though he was a drunk! A true genius. Anyways Euwe was the weakest World Champion wasn't he?

| | Dec-03-04 Alexander Stripunsky
| |
|
schoolsucks: Stripunsky was already popular in the US before then. But anyways a good example of Stripunsky's weaknesses can be shown here. Child Prodigy Josh Waitzkin demonstrates how to take care of the weak dark squares. It's really a great game to study.

schoolsucks: <<acirce> What are you talking about that match was Tal-like quit lying. <RisingChamp> Is 100% right, unless you think sacrificing your rook for an unclear attack with the black pieces in the last round is "Not much Tal like." You know how I remember? My dad ...
