Aug-04-03 | | Rhiannon: Resignation, not mystic, not detached, but resignation open-eyed, conscious, and informed by love, is the only one of our feelings for which it is impossible to become a sham. |

Aug-10-03 | | THE GENERAL: is this a normal way to look at resigning a chess game? |

 | | Sneaky: Joseph Conrad (1857–1924) |
|
Aug-10-03 | | PVS: Among other things, Conrad was a great chronicler of colonialism. |
|
Aug-10-03 | | Rhiannon: <THE GENERAL> It is not a "normal" way to look at resigning a chess game. That is why Khalifman interests me so much. <Sneaky> I knew most people would recognize this as a literary quotation, but did not feel many could guess it was Joseph Conrad. Are you familiar with Conrad or the Internet search engines? <PVS> Conrad was a very great chronicler of colonialism. An era many thought past but to which we now return in the 21st century. |
|
Aug-11-03 | | Corben: This was pure fear, blindness at Kasparovs sigth, one has to look only at that undeveloped black kings side, the lonely king at a8, and finally 22 ...f6. Was this a 1 min blitz? |
|
Nov-10-05 | | Bobak Zahmat: 22.f6 is a huge blunder! How can a man like Khalifman make such a great BLUNDER! Especially against Kasparov! |
|
Mar-10-06 | | alexandrovm: Another Ruy, here Alexander blunders and loses a piece or gets mated in 3, the continuation is posted by <Honza> in this page. |
|
Jun-01-07 | | sneaky pete: 22... f6 is not a blunder, black was already lost. If 22... Nd5 23.Rxd5 .. wins the knight. If 22... Nc2/Na2 23.b6 .. wins. |
