| May-12-06 | | pawn to QB4: Rest of World by 52 to 48. Better than their two results against the Soviet Union but, of course, political changes meant the Ukrainians and others were now RoW. |
|
| May-13-06 | | MagnaPsygnosis: Lets face if...
Not even the best players in the world can beat Russia...in chess |
|
| May-13-06 | | cuendillar: Ukraine did just that in last year's Olympics. |
|
| May-13-06 | | Far1ey: RUSSIA!!!
Man the Russians are good at chess...
How come all the other countries aren't as good!?!?!?!?! |

This is a very good question:
To identify the answer, you will have to remove all the simularities of Russian chess and world chess, so that only the differences are left.
4 well-known differences are:
1. Russia are the only country in the
world where they play chess
backwards, when analyzing a game.
2. The Children there start very
early relative to the rest of the
world (3-4yrs)
3. Unlike most countries, chess is a
major-subject in their schools.
4. Finally, chess is connected to
their goverment via Communism.

| Sep-14-06 | | Pepitin17: Did Kaspy had a (-) score on this one? |
|
| Sep-15-06 | | Kean: who knows, but he lost to polgar, at least. and that in a berlin defense |
|
| Mar-20-07 | | Helios727: How did this match work? Did they have 10 players on each team, and have each team member play once against each opposing team member? |
|
| Mar-20-07 | | Helios727: The Russian school of chess is the reason for their success. When it comes to natural talent, that seems to be spread around because you see World Junior Champions come from all over the place. But once they reach their early 20s, the Russians lunge ahead. |

| Mar-20-07 | | Tomlinsky: If you live within a culture that actively supports, promotes and invests in the cultivation of a framework for chess excellence then you tend to get more grandmasters. Environment and support from it encourages excellence. It really is that simple. If, on the other hand, you live within a culture with a tendancy to believe that art, strategy and tactics mean sitting on your backside stuffing your face with popcorn while guys in crash-helmets collide with each other while chasing a ball.... |

| Mar-20-07 | | micartouse: When I hear "Russian School of Chess" I picture a university where kids elect "Knight Endings" or "Advanced French Structures" or "New Ideas in the Noteboom" as electives. I know it wasn't like that, but it should've been. |

| Aug-03-07 | | Akuni: <Helios> Unlike the two USSR vs The World matches (both won by the USSR) where each player played a four-game match against a single opponent, in this tournament, everyone played everyone else once. |
|
| Feb-29-08 | | D.Observer: <PVS: Shirov, playing for the Rest of the World (Spain), had the best overall score at <+5=4-1>. Guess to whom he lost?>
He lost to Kasparov. Check this: Kasparov vs Shirov, 2002 |
|
| Mar-15-08 | | The Rocket: what is the time control for this tournament? |
|
| May-01-08 | | Karpova: <The third match is scheduled for September 8th - 12th 2002 in Moscow. It will be staged over ten boards, using a Scheveningen System and rapid chess (25+10).>

This is interesting. Wonder if this is true, and how it looks in practice... |

| Dec-26-12 | | leka: dear magnapsygosis.The Soviet communists supported the chess the violin playing the classical piano playing the ballet dance the opera.But in the Soviet union they could not play a card game bridge.The real communits should have put money to rock jazz the old dance music the ordinary folks like these.But The soviets rulers put the money to the minor elite hobbies like chess and the piano playing.It was policy.Why people from the Western should have try send pack of cards that the russians could play the bridge or poker.The religouspeople try to send the bibles in the Soviet union |

 | | Sally Simpson: "But in the Soviet union they could not play a card game bridge." Not to sure about that. Karpov and Korchnoi were bridge partners at Hatings 1972 and Karpov's trainer, Furman was a dedicated bridge player. |
|
| Jan-25-15 | | Severin: Not a nice event for Kasparov. How many tournaments did he come out of with a negative score? I can't think of any others. |
|
| Jan-27-19 | | GumboGambit: Kasparove did more help for the Rest of World team than if he had represented his native country of Azerbaijan |
