   May-20-13 FIDE Grand Prix Thessaloniki (2013)

Eyal: Bacrot is replacing Radjabov. For Topalov, a good result here can clinch qualification to the next candidates. For Caruana, Morozevich, Nakamura, Ponomariov, Svidler & Kamsky a good result can be crucial to their chances, since their overall score so far is not as good and they only ...

   May-19-13 Magnus Carlsen

Eyal: <Is Carlsen playing again before the WC match?> Yes - at least in the Tal Memorial next month (together with Kramnik, Anand, Caruana, Karjakin, Nakamura, Morozevich, Gelfand, Mamedyarov & Andreikin); maybe also at the world cup which takes place in Norway this year (his manager ...

   May-18-13 Norway Chess Tournament (2013)

Eyal: TPRs of the players, compared with their actual ratings (according to the May list) in brackets and number of rating points gained/lost: Karjakin 2886 (2767) +15 Nakamura 2843 (2775) +9 Carlsen 2834 (2868) -4 Svidler 2804 (2769) +5 Anand 2803 (2783) +3 Aronian 2800 ...

   May-18-13 Wang Hao vs Anand, 2013

Eyal: I'm almost certain that Anand missed 16.Qa5! (or at least how strong it is) when he went for 14...Bxa2. No chess player in his right mind would intentionally enter with Black the position reached after move 16, even if some miracle save might turn out.

   May-18-13 Karjakin vs Topalov, 2013

Eyal: After 45...Rbb5? 46.Qc2! White got a really significant advantage - Topalov said after the game that when he played it he was counting on 46...Rb3 47.Nd2 Bxd2 48.Rxd2 Rcxc3, missing 49.Rc4+!. In a different tournament situation, White could definitely play on for a win - for example, ...

   May-18-13 Carlsen vs Wang Hao, 2013

Eyal: <pbercker: I would be hopelessly at sea without Houdini to clue me in as to what's going on. In many ways, having Houdini's evaluation for various lines makes for high drama. When Kf2 vs. Kg2 was the option facing Carlsen, I never would have known what a huge difference it made to ...

   May-17-13 Svidler vs Karjakin, 2013

Eyal: Overall, a really fascinating commentary by Svidler on the game (on http://www.livestream.com/norwayche... - starting from about 3:27:40). Among other things, he says that half an hour before the game he and his second noticed that 9...d5 (instead of the routine Ng6) equalizes in this ...

   May-17-13 European Individual Championships (2013)

Eyal: Btw, the chessvibes report ( http://www.chessvibes.com/reports/m... ) also says they assume Zvjaginsev and Istratescu have qualified as well. If that's the case, here's a list of all the 46 qualifiers for the world cup from this and last year's championships, according to countries: - ...

   May-17-13 Karjakin vs Nakamura, 2013

Eyal: <JPi: I'm asking myself why Black didn't take the pawn on move 22. ...Rxc3. Black has not be afraid of 23.gxf7+ Rxf7 24.Qg4+ Rg7 Else 23.Rd3 or Re3 23...Ne5 for a more effective 24...Nc4. May I miss something?> No, this is actually true:-) Our <frogbert> mentions in his ...

   May-16-13 I Nepomniachtchi vs A Moiseenko, 2013

Eyal: 40.Qd6!, trapping the black queen, would have been an earlier killer - the threat of b4 is decisive (40...c5 41.Bxc5; 40...Nxg2 41.Bc5).

Mar-13-08		Eyal: On the other hand, I see it also causes some unrest... <Knight13: Why are you copying An Englishman? I don't find it funny.>

Mar-13-08		jessicafischerqueen: Good Afternoon. Well you can't please everyone. Good Evening.

Mar-13-08		jessicafischerqueen: Good Morning.

Mar-13-08		Eyal: Good Afternoon. Heh Good Night. (What's the Korean version of those greetings, btw?)

Mar-13-08		jessicafischerqueen: Good Evening HEY! Are you going to bed already?? It's only 8:30 pm in <real time>. Heh I only know the "all purpose" greeting <anyang haseo>. In truth, I'm about as knowledgeable about the Korean language as a hedgehog. Interestingly, however, I found out today that one of my students has a <pet hedgehog.> (true story)! <Frank's a nice name. Robin Days has a hedgehog named Frank...>

Mar-13-08		Eyal: I didn't really call you Eddie-baby, did I, sweetie?

Mar-13-08		jessicafischerqueen: Good Morning. Heh <Sir Edward, tell us about your latest film...>

Mar-13-08		Eyal: Btw, there's another <Robin Day> reference in the MPFC oeuvre as well - do you know where?

Mar-13-08		jessicafischerqueen: Good Evening. No! Please tell? I don't even know who <Robin Days> is!!

Mar-13-08		Eyal: Sir Robin Day, OBE (24 October 1923 � 6 August 2000) - a British political broadcaster and commentator of note. Man: Good morning. Registrar: Good morning. Man: Are you the registrar? Registrar: I have that function. Man: I was here on Saturday, getting married to a blond girl, and I'd like to change please. I'd like to have this one instead please. Registrar: What do you mean? Man: Er, well, the other one wasn't any good, so I'd like to swap it for this one, please. Er, I have paid. I paid on Saturday. Here's the ticket. <gives him the marriage licence.> Registrar: Ah, oh, no. That was when you were married. Man: Er, yes. That was when I was married to the wrong one. I didn't like the colour. This is the one I want to have, so if you could just change the forms round I can take this one back with me now. Registrar: I can't do that. Man: Look, make it simpler, I'll pay again. Registrar: No, you can't <do> that. Man: Look, all I want you to do is change the wife, say the words, blah, blab, blah, back to my place, no questions asked. Registrar: I'm sorry sir, but we're not allowed to change. Man: You can at Harrods. Registrar: You can't. Man: You can. I changed my record player and there wasn't a grumble. Registrar: It's different. Man: And I changed my pet snake, and I changed my <<Robin Day tie>>. Registrar: Well, you can't change a bloody wife! Man: Oh, all right! Well, can I borrow one for the weekend.

Mar-13-08		Eyal: PS The next super-tournament should be the <Grand Prix> in Baku (20th April-6th May; see http://www.chessvibes.com/fide/ever...) rather than <M-Tel> (7th-18th May).

Mar-13-08		jessicafischerqueen: Good Evening. HAHAHAHAHh heh I remember that sketch... THANKS CRABBIN!! Well we'll see the fur fly from <An Englishman> at <Grand Prix Monaco> maybe. Although I think you are right. surely typing <Good Evening> before every post could never be construed as a posting violation. Nor could it be considered "intellectual property." Good Evening. Heh-- What is "intellectual property"? STEPHEN J HAWKING'S HOUSE get it? HAHAHAAHAHA WHEEEEEEEEEEE heh

Mar-13-08		jessicafischerqueen: Good Evening. I am an Englishwoman. but I live in Korea.

Mar-14-08		jessicafischerqueen: Good Afternoon. HI CRABBIN!!

Mar-14-08		jessicafischerqueen: Good Evening. I am Alfred Hitchcock.

Mar-14-08		Eyal: Good Morning. I am Napoleon Bonaparte. (On this note, check out the page of Mershad Z Sharif, whose identity was claimed by user <Microdot>)

Mar-14-08		jessicafischerqueen: Good Evening. Congratulaions CRABBIN!! at 7 million, you are rapidly catching up to me!!! Arooo

Mar-14-08		jessicafischerqueen: Good Afternoon. Hi Crbbbin! I was stalking you again. why were you analzying a Tal game from the <Packagorsky Cup>???

Mar-14-08		jessicafischerqueen: Good Evening. HI CRABBIN heh you'll be pleased to know that I'mm still slowly climbing the ladder in Rapid Games against <fake humans>. Interestingly, each time I go up a new level of opponent the machine is programmed for a different style of play. It takes me a few games to figure the style out-- and once I do, I can beat that particulaar fake human every single time. I'm now up to playing against 1400+ fake humans. Interestingly, just like 1400 level Yahoo players, the Machine will never resign-- it will always play on to the end. On yahoo, generally, it's not till you get to the 1500 range that you will face opponents who will respect you enough to resign totally busted positions. I'M LERNING TO PLAY COMPBUDDER CRAFAPIFN1!! w4982098r294t9u

Mar-14-08		jessicafischerqueen: Good Morning. Heh I'm off for a bracing walk and then it's back to play my first "live" classical game on Yahoo since last Sunday. I get white!!! Napoleon Bonaparte

Mar-15-08		jessicafischerqueen: Good Evening. heh she bludered on move 12 in a <Winawer> and I win a minature... I'm <1995> now CRABBIN!! I'm going back in now with Black... They better not play <d4>!!!

Mar-15-08		jessicafischerqueen: Ok I just had to show you. Me v. Vrajeela (1838) 1.e4 e6 <OK yes I was tempted to play the powerful 2...RESIGN here, but I decided to tough it out> 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e5 c5 5.a3 cxd4 <OK I played this before and I know the continuation is 6.axb4 but I wanted to see what might happen if I took with my Queen. Didn't look sound to me but I was curious> 6.Qxd4? Nc6 7.Qg4 Bxc3+ 8.bxc3 Nxe5 9.Qxg7 Qf6? <I had calculated this and IMO 9...Ng6 is practically forced,no? After 9...Ng6 I don't know if I'm better but I got lots of dynamic play in the position. HOWEVER--At any rate, she played Qf6? and WHAMMO> 10.Bh6!! <heh> click for larger view <threatening 11.Qf8+, both my Queen and Bishop are immune- 10...Ng6 is forced here to protect the f8 square--> 10...Ng6 <And Resigned. Premature possibly, but White has a big edge after 11.Qxf6 Nxf6 12.Bg7 FORK and White wins the exchange by force with a big edge> AROOOOO she should know better at her rating but it's not my fault if she blundered. BTW, Instead of playing another game I was busy analyzing this one. There are only a few games in the CG.com database with <6.Qxd4?> in them and I was analyzing possible continuations. At present, I doubt it is sound... but possibly playable. What is your opinion on this point, Crabbin? AROOOOO time to play again now. iquieijfkkk

Mar-15-08		chessmoron: I think you are too hard on yourself. Sure 6.axb4 is a bit better than 6.Qxd4 but 6.Qxd4 doesn't deserve a blunder sign.

Mar-15-08		jessicafischerqueen: Good Evening. Thanks <McLovin>!! BTW my rating is <1895> not <1995>. Seems I'm getting ahead of myself...

Mar-15-08		jessicafischerqueen: Well another short one and I won again. However, I didnt play black. I wanted to play white again!!! (now I have to play two blacks in a row. Can't play till next weekend though). Anyoo, another <game type: Blunder> and in the early middle game with me playing a <Fischer-Sozin>. Been a while since I won with White in a Sicilian. funny, I feel more comfortable on the Black side of the sicilian now since I've been playing an equal number of White/Black games. Whacka I broke the 1900 barrier though. heh Now I"m 1907!! Whippa
