Nov-22-06		Artar1: <RookFile: I just don't see the queen as going to b5.> Ah, my <quick> demonstration was not an attempt to find the perfect, but to illustrate the merit of 28.h3. Some of our participants (not strong players like yourself) were having trouble understanding such a quiet move.

Nov-22-06		technical draw: The bookie won't give me 100 to bet on Arno's next move. Could it be cause I owe him $6,370?

Nov-22-06		jepflast: What are we planning for 28...Qb5? That's the reply that most makes us wish we had played 28. b4 (not to bring that up again).

Nov-22-06		Tabanus: <jepflast> Bah, no problem. 28...Qb5 29.b4

Nov-22-06		technical draw: <Tabanus> Poo-pooed...Dismissed something as unimportant.

Nov-22-06		Tabanus: <td> I realized, so I zapped :)

Nov-22-06		weisyschwarz: <Tabanus: <jepflast> Bah, no problem. 28...Qb5 29.b4> What about 28...Qb5 29.b4 Rc4?

Nov-22-06		jepflast: <Tabanus: <jepflast> Bah, no problem. 28...Qb5 29.b4> I'm listening. But what do you plan after that? All I see is 29...Re2 30. Qf4 Rc2, which is not pretty.

Nov-22-06		Open Defence: and there are no sharks around

Nov-22-06		Tabanus: <jepflast> I have not looked at it at all. I'm just saying we should keep alternatives open. Some moves could be 'good' at high-ply.

Nov-22-06		jepflast: Last night I heard mention that there were previous Challenges like this, which I didn't know. Who were the opponents and what happened? Are there any links to those games?

Nov-22-06		jepflast: <Tabanus: <jepflast> I have not looked at it at all. I'm just saying we should keep alternatives open. Some moves could be 'good' at high-ply.> Not to worry. At this point I feel that 28...Qb5 is correctly answered by 29. R1f2! so we can proceed with the plan to build a fortress while Black can do nothing.

Nov-22-06		RookFile: "We are the world...." "We are the children....." http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches...

Nov-22-06		Tabanus: <jepflast> OK. <RV> also has 29.fxg6

Nov-22-06		technical draw: The "world" has lost 4 drew 2 and won 0.

Nov-22-06		weisyschwarz: ...it's true we can make a better game, just you and me.

Nov-22-06		jepflast: <RookFile: "We are the world...." "We are the children....." http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches...; Were all these games really played here, and only here, on chessgames.com? Why is one called "tv corr"?

Nov-22-06		Karpova: <jepflast> no, the game against GMAN is the first one ever to be played here.

Nov-22-06		RookFile: I think we're playing in the first such much here at chessgames, aren't we?

Nov-22-06		RonB52734: <jepflast> no, those games were not played here. If you read the kibitzing in those games, or search on google, you can find out the details.

Nov-22-06		Karpova: <jepflast: Why is one called "tv corr"?> Here's coverage of the game you are referring to: http://www.chessbase.com/searchresu...

Nov-22-06		GufeldStudent: World was winning against Kostenuik. Rg1 instead of Qxa6 would have won. Lesson: Remember Intermezzo's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Besides, this is really AN vs. Chessgames.com members. We kick the worlds butt.

Nov-22-06		weisyschwarz: Hmmm. Game idea: Chessbase.com members vs. Chessgames.com members.

Nov-22-06		WannaBe: Would never work, they'd be too busy in-arguing amongst themselves.

Nov-22-06		isemeria: <jepflast: Were all these games really played here, and only here, on chessgames.com? Why is one called "tv corr"?> The World vs. Karpov, 1996 was not a correspondence game. See my comment on that game's kibitzing.
