MoonlitKnight: Someone told me Morozevich withdrew from Biel. Anyone know anyhting?
 
   Jan-26-11 Viktor Korchnoi (replies)
 
MoonlitKnight: Korchnoi (about to turn 80) faced elite GM Caruana (18) - with the black pieces nonetheless - and he totally crushed him. I don't post here often lately, but I had to come in to say hats off to the old man! One of the most impressive achievements in chess history in my ...
 
   Nov-26-10 J G Pettersen vs B Nielsen, 2006 (replies)
 
MoonlitKnight: This beautiful attacking game deservedly won the brilliancy prize at Politiken 2006.

   Aug-10-09 Evgenij Miroshnichenko (replies)
 
MoonlitKnight: All of a sudden he has catapulted his rating to 2696. He is currently playing in the very strong Zürich Jubilee Open as second seed behind Morozevich. Also, he has plans to break the blindfold simultaneous record by playing 64 boards.

MoonlitKnight: Can anyone tell me why this guy is one of the special guests at the Zürich Jubilee Open along with Kasparov, Karpov, Anand, Kramnik, Topalov, Spassky, Korchnoi, Polgar, Ponomariov and Khalifman? Seems like he's a little out of his league.
