| Sep-12-14 | | 1971: We should definitely have at least one 960 tournament a year. |
|
| Sep-12-14 | | RubinSteinitz: <kellmano: I really don't fancy trawling through these pages looking for the chess960 games. Any kind soul care to let me know if they are on this site anywhere?> Just jump on your hoss and ride over the text to the local search saloon and type (after watering and rubbing down said hoss) chess960 or chess 960. I'm not being sarcastic. I love horses; used to ride broncs in rodeos. And had 11 horses myself at one time. |

| Sep-12-14 | | Everett: <Sep-11-14 SugarDom: True chess lovers would like the game/sports to be practiced by the masses. So bye mr. extinction Everett...> True chess lovers love playing chess, sugarsub. That's it. Many here love chess but don't put on a cape and crusade for it. |

| Sep-12-14 | | Mendrys: <SirRuthless: Show up at the board and just play chess without worrying what Intel has cooked up for you that morning....>Considering that I've never had to worry about that, ever, whenever I've sat at the board across from someone I can't see how that would apply to me. To be honest, I can't see how anyone but top level players would ever even come close to having that problem and if they did then shame on them for not doing the necessary preparation. Do you really start a tournament game worried that your opponent has found a clever trap on move 12 in the Petrosian variation of the Queens Indian via a computer? |
|
| Sep-12-14 | | RubinSteinitz: Speaking of supercomputers, if you had one that could make a move at the speed of a micro-second per move, it would take that supercomputer 90 billion generations to come up with all the possibilities in one 40 move game. No, I prefer to leave our sacred game as is. And I have looked over chess960. First thought come to mind was the same as my mother's when she first laid eyes on me, "Boy, you ugly!!" |

And there's more. The attack of the killer smartphones. |

 | | HeMateMe: <the game has been perverted by supercomputers> I don't think so. Look at the player's eyes light up when they are doing a postmortem, and the computer suggests a different line. Computers will keep the game from getting stale. Players will use them to find new innovations. "Chess is infinite"--Anatoly Karpov. |
|
| Sep-12-14 | | SirRuthless: <HeHateMe> 960 Keeps the game from getting stale and doesn't require the silicon beast to do it. I think the players seem more annoyed by or resigned to the supremacy of computers than delighted. Perhaps you are confusing their "eyes lighting up" with them rolling their eyes when some patzer tells them a computer line that no human would find. |
|
| Sep-13-14 | | SugarDom: AFter the 960 WC between Nakamura and Aronian, what followed? It's dead. Only SR wants it because Naka is champ in it. |
|
| Sep-13-14 | | SirRuthless: How does that make any sense? Carlsen is the best at 960. |
|
| Sep-13-14 | | Olavi: <SirRuthless: How does that make any sense? Carlsen is the best at 960.> Some evidence would be nice, as likely as it feels. People underestimate the signifigance of learned patterns, and knowing the structures that arise from normal openings is a big part of it. Dworetzky has written about this, sorry that I can not provide an exact reference. |

| | HeMateMe: Ruthie--nope, the players are definitely interested in what the silicon beasts recommend, in any given situation. something they can use next time. |

yeah that didn't help. Just brought up your post. |
|
| Sep-13-14 | | tbentley: Chessgames only has a handful of chess960 games, but they can be found at Chess variants (000). |
|
| Sep-13-14 | | tbentley: And here's a good place to discuss the topic: Fischerandom Chess Generator |
|
| Sep-13-14 | | tzar: <The game has been perverted by suoercomputers> Maybe. But not the game you play. Only the game that super GMs play, so keep on enjoying playing chess at yoir level, it is still clean as transparent water there. If super GMs are perverted it is their problem. |
|
| Sep-13-14 | | SirRuthless: That is beside the point. If we only cared about our own game then why post here at all? Here is a recommendation for you, if you have nothing constructive to add, then keep your comments to yourself, <tzar>. |
|
| Sep-13-14 | | vkk: You wanna make chess more fun?
Make a semi slav themed tournamnet where all the players must play the botvinnik variation |

| Sep-14-14 | | Chessinfinite: <HeMateMe> Thanks for letting us know what the greats have quoted - <"Chess is infinite"--Anatoly Karpov. >. Nice ! Another quote that comes to mind, I think it was by Anand, who said something like -< " If computers have closed some doors in Chess, they have opened many new ones ">. |
|
| Sep-21-14 | | kardopov: Tough field routed by no. 3 FIDE rated, Caruana. Will he be able to duplicate this amazing performance? Only his future tournaments can tell. |
|
Sep-21-14
 | | perfidious: <kardopov> Will anyone? Thing is, there are posters who are already judging the results of other top players against this exceptional performance and, not at all surprisingly, finding others' results wanting. This is the aberration, not other results. |
|
| Sep-22-14 | | BishopKnight: I'm not sure what that means perfidious. The other exceptional performances were ALSO aberrations. Why not give credit where it is due? This was the best chess showing in a tournament of all time. |
|
| Sep-27-14 | | Albertan: Grandmaster Clash:http://www.slate.com/articles/sport... |
|
| Nov-03-14 | | KingPetrosian: I still can't believe Caruana demolished almost every single top player in less than 40 moves! I know I don't need to say it, but he's next year's World Champion! |
