| suenteus po 147: Shirov's next event is Linares-Morelia. He will be this year's "token" Spanish player, competing at a humble 2755 rating. In all seriousness, Shirov has never won a traditional "Big Three" event (Big Four if you already count Mtel as "traditional") and he could sure use one. Is it possible he draws Anand twice and picks up +3 or +4 to win the whole thing? |

| littlefermat: <Augalv: Does anyone know why the Kasparov-Shirov match never took place?> Shirov didn't agree to the terms of the match (the prize fund was too low). Not agreeing to the terms effectively forfeited his right to a match with Kasparov (?!). You might want to check out the mark-weeks.com page which has a decent chronology of the events. |

| acirce: The exact address is http://www.mark-weeks.com/chess/989... (and it goes on at http://www.mark-weeks.com/chess/a0a...) And I agree. Must-read if you are the slightest bit interested in the subject and want to know more about it beyond the very basics. Most people who talk about it seem pretty ignorant about the details. |

| 810609: Are there any new informations about Fire on Board III.? Will it be finally released this year, almost two years after first announcement? I am slightly confused because Everymanchess.com and Amazon.com gives different titles - Everymanchess gives "Fire on Board III - Opening secrets behind 1. e4 e5" (http://www.everymanchess.com/displa...), but Amazon gives "Fire on Board III - Opening secrets behind 1. e4" (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/A... - "This book focuses on 1 e4 (open and semi-open games), while the next volume will cover all other openings.")) Also I have some doubts about this books because of his Chessbase.com series on "My best games in ..." (http://www.chessbase.com/shop/produ...). Is anyone here familiar with his DVD lessons? How much are they focused on openings? |
|

 |
| mateifl: <810609> About the "My best games series..." In my opinion, Shirov presents the openings at a quite advanced level. He talks about plans for examples, but not in great detail, something like "Ne7 is another plan for black here" and that's it, no objectives, differences from other ideas etc. This is somehow understandable, as you cannot expect a
detailed presentation of a system like the KID or the Ruy Lopez in 12-14 games.
However, the DVDs are good, nice presenations, lots of beautiful combinations (it's Shirov !!), I used them for example to train my calculation skills in very complicated positions.
On chesscafe.com you can read Carsten Hansen's reviews about most of the DVDs. |
