click for larger view instead of taking the pawn at e4 the queen shufflr back and forth at f6 and g6...considering benjamins role in fine tuning deep blue in his match with kasparov these machine hes dealing is better than the one he prepared for kasyparov...deep blue was made design special for kasparov..> |

| HeMateMe: Joel, (1) could you log in and leave us some thoughts about your auto bio "American Grandmaster", and (2) Does Kasparov get the "weanie award" for being a bad sport after being defeated by Deep Blue? |
|

| DarthStapler: I recently read part of this guy's autobiography, it was quite good. |

| HeMateMe: I bought it, gonna donate it to the library. I hate it when a library doesn't have any chess books, so I give away some of my extra stuff. |
|
| Jun-19-08 |
| Jim Bartle: Worse than no chess books in the library is having just a few ancient, dry, dull books with titles like "Chess Technique," which only drive newcomers away. |
|

|
| HeMateMe: Really, sometimes just some old Fred Reinfield stuff with food stains on the books, very depressing. I keep reference books, but give away biographies and stuff that seems repetitive. |

| HeMateMe: Benjamin has had a long and interesting career. He coached Ireland's Olympiad team a few years ago. He's married to a girl from Ireland. I guess he no longer plays in the US closed championships. In his book, I like the chapter where he mentions his first experience with Kasparov. He said that the teenage Kaspy was playing blitz for money at the Junior World Championships, I think at odds of 5 minutes to 3, and winning. Benjamin mentions a Wijk an Zee (CORUS) tournament, when Kasparov won every single game with white (except a game against Benjamin) and won the tournament. JB says he has the scoresheet framed, hanging on his living room wall. Benjamin said that he (JB) wasn't winning enough games to get to play Kasparov. I didn't know Kaspy even played in the juniors. It seems like he went very quickly up to IM and GM status. |
