May-16-14    paavoh: A beautiful and simple round 5 game by Jakovenko against Sutovsky, who was too aggressive in the opening and got duly punished. May-16-14    Conrad93: Ivan Seric actually has a very good endgame against Morozevich. His only major problem is that all his pawns are isolated! White's king is also stuck on the first rank. May-16-14    Conrad93: Of course Houdini evaluates as roughly equal, but that only tells half the story. May-16-14    paavoh: @1d410: You should be making an order for a Bologan book now, he seems to have a serious edge against Eljanov ;-) May-16-14    perfidious: <paavoh> roflmao May-16-14    Conrad93: It really doesn't matter who writes the books. What matters is the content; whether the information is accurate or not is what really matter. Silman's isn't a very strong a player, and his success in tournaments is about average, but he is still a best seller because he knows how to write! May-16-14    Conrad93: Also, Silman is apparently into new age religions. That is something I would rather not have known. May-16-14    SimonWebbsTiger: Bologan's book on the Chebanenko Slav (1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Nf3 a6) is as fine an opening book as one will find. A testiment to his late trainer -- the creative Chebanenko - and the complexity of this topical variation. May-16-14    Conrad93: Check out the game between Morozevich and Saric. What a bizzarre endgame. Three isolated pawns and a rook vs. a rook and a single pawn on the kingside. Yet there is still no obvious win! May-16-14    Conrad93: Didn't Bologan also write a book on the Catalan opening? May-16-14    geeker: I enjoyed Bologan's "Selected Games 1985-2004" book, and recommend it. May-16-14    Shams: Bologan finally on the board with a sparkling win against Eljanov. May-16-14    HeMateMe: Shirov with 5 draws, no wins and no losses? Bizaaro World... May-16-14    perfidious: <Conrad: Silman's isn't a very strong a player, and his success in tournaments is about average....> There is an inherent contradiction in this statement. May-17-14    waustad: <cro777>Congratulations on another very strong local player, if I'm reading your handle correctly. Kozul, Stevic and Jovanovic all play in the Austrian league for Wolfsberg, but he probably has bigger fish to fry at this stage of his career. I wish him well. May-17-14    Conrad93: No, not really perfidious. May-17-14    HeMateMe: What's Silman's highest rating? 2400? That's not too shabby. May-17-14    perfidious: <HMM> I debated over whether to bother responding to that foolish comment by <Conrad>, but decided it should not be allowed to stand unchallenged. May-17-14    HeMateMe: Silman actually played Smyslov at Lone Pine. May-17-14    positionalgenius: This Ivan Saric may be one to watch out for. May-17-14    Hercules Unchained: I think it is time for Morozevich:Move by move book seriously May-17-14    plang: <geeker: I enjoyed Bologan's "Selected Games 1985-2004" book, and recommend it.> I like this book as well - he plays interesting chess May-18-14    Conrad93: Silman hasn't played in years. And his rating has nothing to do with strength. I have seen his games before. He's about average for a player. May-18-14    1d410: Bologan must have seen my comment and started winning to sell his books :P Jump to page #    (enter # from 1 to 3) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 2 OF 3 ·  Later Kibitzing> NOTE: Create an account today to post replies and access other powerful features which are available only to registered users.
