Feb-21-09 Topalov-Kamsky Match (2009) 
| |
|
skiskichess5: Really this match is about natural talent vs preparation
|
|
| | Nov-25-08 Kramnik vs C Pereira dos Santos, 1990
| |
|
skiskichess5: Is it not white's pawn majority on the Q side that was the basis of Kramnik's plan at least as soon as he moved his K towards the centre on move 22?

|
skiskichess5: <VaselineTopLove> It is Nigel. Chessgames obviously wouldn't let anybody else post using his name and photo.

| | Oct-28-08 Vladimir Afromeev
| |
|
skiskichess5: <eremite> A link to photos with Afromeev were posted some time ago by <Stanleys>. Now the link goes to Belgorod State University so I'm not sure what happened. My recollection is that Afromeev was a little chubby but looked a friendly and jovial character. ... hope ...

|
skiskichess5: Perhaps it's the LHC experiment ... aliens have come through a rupture in space-time and "taken over" both players
|
|
| | Jul-23-08 The World vs G Timmerman, 2007
| |
|
skiskichess5: Perhaps GM van Timmerman has a private bet that he can last (ie not be checkmated) for a specified number of moves. This could explain why he has not resigned.

| | Apr-17-08 I Nyzhnyk vs C Andersson, 2008
| |
|
skiskichess5: <iopium> if white plays 34.Re2 the black knight can escape via g5 ... I think

|
skiskichess5: Lovely statement by Kasparov
