May-18-13 Weaver   wwall: It is still an accurate statement. In the 1940 US Open finals in Dallas, Adams did not win a single game as White. He won 4 games as Black, had 2 draws, and lost 2 games as White. This games is from a 1982 Dayton Chess Club tournament against Steve Fenic. The player may have been Matt      May-18-13 Tringov vs Browne, 1970   wwall: 36...Qd7 looks like the losing move, allowing White to penetrate with Qf3 and Qa8. Best may be 36...Rxg3 37.Qxe6+ Kb8 38.Nc4 Rg2 (or 38...Qc5) 39.Nxd6 Qc6, which now looks drawish.      May-17-13 Ljubojevic vs Browne, 1970   wwall: But was 17.Bxe6 the best move? Perhaps just 17.Qxe3 for a safer move. After 17.Bxe6, instead of 17...Bd4, perhaps Black is better off after 17...Qe7, winning the exchange. If 18.Nd5, then 18...Ne5. If 18.Bd4, then 18...Nd4 and 19...Nxc2. The losing move seems to be 20...Qb6? and no ...      May-12-13 Browne vs M Kovacs-Pinter, 1970   wwall: 38...Ra1?? was the losing move, since White has mate after sacking his queen with 39.Qxh7+. Black had to play 38...Rg7. If 39.Rg4, then 39...Rxg4 40.Qxg4 Qc8 should hold for Black. Black mates in the game after 41.Bh6+, K-any, 42.Bf8 mate.      May-12-13 wwall chessforum   wwall: Thanks wordfunph. It was a nice, quiet day.      May-11-13 Smyslov vs Browne, 1970   wwall: 51.Rc2 f5 (51...Rd7?) 52.exf5 (that does look better than 52...gxf5) 52...gxf5 53.g5 and White should also win here. Black could try 53...Rg8, but White gets in with 54.Rfc3 as in the game. After 54...Rxg5 55.Rc8+ Ke7 56.Re2+ Kd7 57.Rb8 Kc7 58.Ree8 looks strong. White must now avoid ...      May-11-13 R Nicevski vs Browne, 1970   wwall: 15.Nfe5 (to defend the knight at c4) looks weak, but Black is probably still winning after 15.Nfd2 Ne3 16.Be4 Bxc4 17.Bxd3 Bxb3 18.Nxb3 Nxf1 19.Bxf1 Bxc3 and Rac8.      May-08-13 Parma vs Browne, 1970   wwall: After 19.Nd5, perhaps better is 19...Qc4 instead of 19...Qb7, so that if 20.Nxe7, then 20...Qxe7. After 19...Qb7, instead of 20.Nxb4, perhaps better is 20.Nxe7. If 20...Rxb2 (20...Qxe4 21.Qxe4 Rxe4 22.f5 looks strong for White) then 21.Ng6+ hxg6 22.h5 Rb1+ 23.Kd2 Qb4+ 24.Ke2 Qb5+ ...      May-06-13 Ivkov vs Browne, 1970   wwall: After 27.Qg5, instead of 27...f6, perhaps 27...Rxc4 28.Rxc4 Qxc4 29.Qxe7 Qxd5, and Black is a pawn up. 28...Qxd5 looks drawish. Perhaps 28...Raxa3 29.Rxa3 Rxa3 30.Qe6 Ra7. 32...Rxa3?? loses. Looks like a draw after 32...Qc3 33.Qf8+ Kg5 34.Rd1 Rxa3      May-05-13 Hort vs Browne, 1970   wwall: After 32.exd6, perhaps 32...Qxd6 is better than 32...exd6 and Black can exchange some pieces for a possible draw. After 33.Nxf5, the Black queen is attacked. If it moves, such as 33...Qf6, then 34.Rxe8 Rxe8 35.Nxd6 Re6 36.Nxf7 Qxf7 37.Qxd7 wins. After 34.Qe4, White is threatening ...      May-04-13 Browne vs J M Bellon Lopez, 1970    May-04-13 Browne vs J Acers, 1970    May-04-13 A Colon vs Browne, 1969    May-04-13 Schmid vs Browne, 1969

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 5 OF 5 ·  Later Kibitzing> Apr-24-11    jessicafischerqueen: Hello <Bill>= a few points: 1. Thanks for posting the two draws against Rybka and Stockfish over at <chess.com>= and congratulations to you and the humans. 2. Thanks for posting the link to your updated Fischer biography, which is now in my profile. 3. Regarding these photos of Bobby, which we were discussing over at chess.com- http://www.echecs-photos.be/BobbyFi... http://www.echecs-photos.be/BobbyFi... http://www.echecs-photos.be/BobbyFi... According to User: TheFocus, none of them is actually Bobby Fischer. The source is <Carmine Nigro's> son, and here is a re-post from <TheFocus>: <Jan-13-11 <<<TheFocus:>>> In regard to the picture that you asked me about, Carmine Nigro's son Bill e-mailed me that this is not Carmine Nigro and the boy in the pictures is not Bobby Fischer. I have a few pictures of Bobby from 1956 and the boy in these pictures does not really resemble Bobby at all. Here, from Edward Winter's Chess Notes are two pictures of Bobby Fischer from 1953, his earliest known pictures. The source is David DeLucia's <Bobby Fischer Uncensored>. http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/...; Of course as you know, now we have even earlier photos of Bobby thanks to <Frank Brady's> "Endgame." Best regards, JFQ Apr-24-11    Open Defence: Happy Easter!!! interesting that there are people doubting our second draw as well hehehehehehe! Apr-24-11    Open Defence: I found that post hilarious, since its those same engines that are helping us find improvements in our post game analysis... another thing they fail to understand is that when an engine plays without an opening book it uses up time in analyzing opening moves even simple responses and recaptures that it would otherwise play instantly in a fraction of a second with its opening book enabled. This eats into the time available for analysis in the middle game which prevents it from reaching high depths and so in a sense this is handicapping the engine further.. its funny that some of the public sees these games as a claim that we are somehow superior or equal to the engines in chess i make no such claim whatsoever of course, i do think however that these games are testimony to a high degree of skill in terms of positional understanding, team work, and tactical calculation on the part of the human team though they are a testimony to a very conservative approach as well Apr-24-11    OhioChessFan: <I dont think the average chess fan understands how much of a handicap no Opening books and no Tablebases are to an engine> I look at it the other way. I think that in terms of fair competition, the Opening books and Tablebases are the only things that let the engines compete with the best GM's. I continue to be amazed that so many chess players don't realize that. <when an engine plays without an opening book it uses up time in analyzing opening moves even simple responses and recaptures that it would otherwise play instantly in a fraction of a second with its opening book enabled. This eats into the time available for analysis in the middle game which prevents it from reaching high depths and so in a sense this is handicapping the engine further..> And again, another advantage of the Opening books. I share your surprise people don't understand this. Apr-26-11    kutztown46: OK, I will look at 24. Bf2 in the 22...gxf6 line tonight. <chessmoron>, I will post additional analysis / comments about this game by the end of the week. Apr-28-11    Open Defence: could we start the next game at 6am India time on Sat? i.e. 2 hours earlier than scheduled? Apr-29-11    chessmoron: That will be this Friday at 8:30 pm EDT. Apr-29-11    chessmoron: <wwall> Do you think the time 8:30 pm EDT sound good? Apr-29-11    wwall: 8:30 should be Ok with me. Apr-29-11    kutztown46: <chessmoron> Did you see the exchange at <AK>'s forum? He and I intend to play tonight as well. Apr-29-11    chessmoron: <kutztown46> I have see your exchange and yes I've agree with that. Apr-29-11    chessmoron: <wwall> 8 more minutes. May-01-11    kutztown46: <Deffi> I saw your follow-up questions dated 4/29. I will get to them eventually, but now I am analyzing the Stockfish - Rybka game. May-10-11    wordfunph: <wwall> happy 60th birthday! cheers! May-11-11    wwall: Thanks wordfunh. I made it past Alekhine and Capablanca (53), Petrosian and Tal (55), Teichmann (56), Chigorin, Boleslavsky, and Furman (57), Janowski and Paulsen (58), and Keres and Spielmann (59). I have to make it at least past Fischer and Staunton and Steinitz (64). May-15-11    Open Defence: belated birthday wishes Bill! Jun-16-11    kutztown46: <Bill> Please refer to the conversation that starts here: chessgames.com chessforum There is some analysis of the games that is posted at your forum. Would you have any objection to those posts being moved from your forum to the appropriate game page? May-11-12    wordfunph: Bill, happy birthday! May-11-12    wwall: Thanks Edmund and Frederick. Oct-11-12    erniecohen: Hi Bill, I was surprised to see that you apparently lost two 14-move correspondence games, each as White, to Cliff Aker (in 1981 and 1989). Is there a story behind these games? Oct-22-12    wwall: I played Cliff Aker 23 times in postal play from 1981 to 1989, winning 9, drawing 9, and losing 5. Apparently I was experimenting too much with some openings, they backfired and I lost. Aker was a strong postal player. Dec-24-12    wordfunph: Bill, Maligayang Pasko! Dec-31-12    wordfunph: Sir, manigong bagong taon po! May-11-13    wordfunph: Bill, happy birthday! May-12-13    wwall: Thanks wordfunph. It was a nice, quiet day.
