Apr-04-05		justy: Hi there. Did anyone see his game against Illescas at Dos Hermanas (third round)? Quite unusual to see 0-0-0 in a 1.d4 game. Do you think Illescas made any mistakes before 9..e5? Any analysis would be apreciated. Thx.

Apr-13-05		Karpova: the game is included in the database. 0-0-0 in a queen's pawn game is by no means unusual! rubinstein played it a lot of times and scored beautiful victories.

Feb-18-09		zoren: Anecdote from Arbakov's page: Daodejing: From an interview with Alexander Rustemov: "Student life in a big unfamiliar city was difficult. In order to get more money for food I started playing blitz in Sokolniki Park. As I was an 18-year-old youngster without an Elo or a reputation, the Moscow masters eagerly accepted my offers to play a couple of games. That was how I earned my living. Soon nobody wanted to play against me for stakes; I kept coming to the park, but was idle for most of the time. One day a new opponent arrived � an unspectacular man in a worn, baggy T-shirt, who was apparently experiencing a hangover. The local hustlers introduced him as a fairly good player, and we sat at the board. To my greatest surprise, I lost 2-8 in the first 10-game match. The next day I sought revenge, but lost with a similar margin. This is how I met Valentin Arbakov (shown here), an outstanding blitz player. At his peak he used to beat many masters with 1 minute against 5! I have never seen such speed and technique as displayed by Arbakov. It was a big shock, and I was forever hooked on blitz."
