"My cousin Sammy told me a true slugger - a Szeged slugger - will always swing for the fences, and that is exactly what I am going to do. I am going to knock Kramnik out of the room with my 'home run punch.' My trainer and I have been developing it in camp. I just hope Vladimir's head is screwed on tight or it may end up on top of the demonstration board!" Game Collection: Lékó - Fireless and Boring?

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 135 OF 135 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-16-13    moronovich: Good luck with the remaining rounds. Hope you enjoy the Candidates. Not the Candy Dates as <achieve> once typed ;) See you around. Nothing new from <brankat> BTW ? Mar-18-13    bubuli55: < Switch > I appreciate that. I feel better now :) Mar-26-13    Annie K.: <Switch> an early 'good luck' for round 10! ;) Mar-26-13    bubuli55: < Switch > turn it on. Good luck! Mar-26-13    jessicafischerqueen: Thanks for the <Alexander Cordel Reverse King Accepted> game, added to the collection. An astonishing outing, I doubted your FEN until I played it through. Mar-27-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: <Annie> <bubuli55> Thanks, and good luck! :-) Mar-27-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: <Tactic of the Day> The in-between mate :-) C Orbaan vs H Kramer, 1950 click for larger view White played <25. Bxe5> here. Black didn't bother to recapture. S Levitsky vs Znosko-Borovsky, 1905 click for larger view Always look for trouble on your back rank! <24...Rd8 25. Rxd8 Qe1#> Sachariev vs Dobrev, 1973 click for larger view After <11. Nfg5 Nxg5> Black undoubtedly expected the reply 12.Bxg5. He was wrong. C B Van den Berg vs A Kinzel, 1957 click for larger view Another back rank disaster: <28. Rxd2?? Rf1#> :) M Rivas Pastor vs C Barrero Garcia, 2001 click for larger view No, not again... yes, really: <34. Bd2 Nxd2 35. Re8#> Movsesian vs B Predojevic, 2004 click for larger view Amazing what can happen just before the time control: <39...Rxf3?? 40.Qh6#> And finally, a completely epic example :) J S Stanley vs C G Heydon, 1872 click for larger view In a totally lost position, Black tried one last trap with <27...Re7>... and <28. Rxe7?? Qf1#> followed. Mar-31-13    brankat: Happy Easter Egg Hunt! :-) Apr-01-13    bubuli55: < SwitchingQuylthulg > Congratz! Apr-01-13    wordfunph: <Switch> congratulations! Apr-02-13    ahmadov: I have looked through a couple of pages on your forum and I see you get a lot of congratulations! You must get a lot of support from Nuklu in order to be successful lately :-) Apr-02-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: <bubuli55> <wordfunph> Thanks, and better luck next leg! :-) Apr-23-13    brankat: SETTLEMENT DATE: Apr-22-13 PROJECTED PAYOUT: 297 (13:2) Alekhine Memorial rd 2: Adams-Svidler Adams YOU WIN! COLLECT 297 40c$ [cash in ticket] Thanks Nuklu! Apr-24-13    kudubux: Hey <Switch>! What do you think of 1.Nf3 followed by 2.b3 pattern? I played in a 45 minute club tournament using Kramnik's new pet and got a +1 =3 result with it. Apr-24-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: <kudubux> I'm not sure, I don't play it that way :) I suppose it helps cut some of Black's more aggressive options (compared to <1. b3>), but it also cuts some of White's more aggressive options by blocking f4, frequently a good move. Additionally, you'll have to prepare something against 1...g6... H Pohla vs J Yuchtman, 1966 ...why am I not surprised you scored so many draws? ;-) Apr-24-13    kudubux: I am a long time fan of 1.b3, you know, but I've opened my doors to flexibility since here in our club one needs to widen his repertoire to accomodate more "clients". :) I don't know much about painting but I know a lot about DRAWing. A common joke of me in our club is they describe me as a player "Rich in DRAWING tactics". Apr-26-13    brankat: <kudubux> You could try this sequence: 1.b3, 2.c3, 3.Bb2 (to over-protect <c3>), 4.Na3, 5.Nc2, 6.a4! Your Queen's flank is fully developed! Now You need only some 6-7 moves to do the King's wing. After about move #15 You can start focusing on the issues of the Center. I'm pretty sure <Switch> would approve of the approach :-) Apr-26-13    kudubux: <Branko> Believe it or not, I have tried that setup in blitz games, adding the maneuver Ra2 and Qa1. Confused opponents would then be overly eager to punish my flamboyant opening and end up having too weaknesses on the Queenside. May-06-13    OhioChessFan: Norway Moves Prediction Contest, sponsored by the legendary <chessmoron> and hosted in my forum, is now open. First round begins May 8th. Click on Elvis for details. May-16-13    brankat: <Switch> Are You betting on number of moves. Also on final standings? That should be considerably tougher than games' outcomes, and they are not easy ones either. At least there are no c-bucks needed there ;-) May-17-13    brankat: I now find myself in an unfamiliar territory. But it probably won't last longer than a day :-) May-22-13    brankat: More action coming up! May-22-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: <brankat> Thanks for the warning! Hopefully I will remember :-) May-23-13    brankat: Best of luck in round #2! May-23-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: Thanks, and good luck to you as well!
