| johnwgoes: Bareev is a good player and a good guy off the board. I think Bareev can beat Leko the Defender. |

| nikolajewitsch: How cool is that?! The guy has never in his life played 1.e4! Not in one freaking game - wow. Kudos to such consequence. |

| Hot Logic: I don't know if Bareev's limited opening choices was the cause of his defeat but I don't think that it is particularly helpful to him as a chessplayer to avoid so many openings. In the candidates match he was stuck in situation where he had to out-Leko Leko and failed. It was disappointing to see him play the Caro-Kann in the final game, where he absolutely needed to win. By eliminating over half the opening's in chess from his study he may save time, but it also means he loses flexibility and becomes more predictable for his opponent's as well. The soviet school held the belief that playing the Ruy Lopez enriches your understanding of chess. I think that in order to become a better player it is necessary to explore and practice all sorts of openings and positions. Excepting Fischer I believe all the world champions have used both e4 and d4, as for Fischer, it was clear from his match against Spassky that he did study and understand d4, c4 etc. He just played e4 because he genuinely believed that it was the better move in practice, this is in the same sense that he believed Bishops were worth 3.25 instead of 3. |

| whiteshark: Thank you, <Vash854> for clarification !! My current reading is Dvoretsky's & Yusupov's "Positional Play", where Dvoretsky wrote: Then we have <Bareev's> material, which really was given as a lecture at the school. He made a very strong impression on our pupils, not purely because of his rank, but because of his distinctive intonation, which was <ironic>, and at times even snide. In my opinion, his delivery was quite <in keeping with his character>, and improved the lecture. It could only be seen as offensive by someone with no sense of humour. <Bareev' irony is not all malicious, and furthermore it is not directed towards his opponents or the reader, but to himself.>" <> from myside; I often think we are soulmates :D |

| Cactus: <cg.com> It says in the bio that Bareev was rated fourth in the FIDE January 2004 list, but he was fourteenth on that list. |
|

 |
| acirce: That is correct. It was on the October 2003 (and July 1991!) list he was ranked 4th. |

| cotdt: wow, bareev calls topalov "a robot who has never even been seen with a girl" in his new book |
|

 |
| Shams: stands to reason a robot wouldn't be interested in girls. |
|
| Dec-05-07 |
| cotdt: <Shams: stands to reason a robot wouldn't be interested in girls.> Still, it is a low blow in an otherwise excellent book. |

| rover: How about Robot Girls? I considered googling it but then thought better of it. |
|
Dec-05-07
|
| Shams: agreed, I was just being glib. I wonder if people blabbed about Fischer's apparent non-interest in the ladies during his years on top. |

I canīt help myself, I just must love every interview with Bareev... I doubt there is another chessplayer with this great sense of humour. |

|
| Cactus: That is a good interveiw! <cotdt> What is the book about? As well, Bareev has played the Smyslov variation of the Caro-Kann three times, always against Leko. Is there any reason for this, or is it just a coincidence? |

| acirce: <I canīt help myself, I just must love every interview with Bareev... I doubt there is another chessplayer with this great sense of humour.> Agreed. Bareev's humour is on 2800+ level. |
