Dec-02-06 | | tonsillolith: Here is an article that cites Capablanca as the one who said that he sees only one move ahead - the right one. http://sciam.com/article.cfm?articl... Also, I remember it being Bent Larsen as the one who said long variations are wrong variations, but I could be wrong. |
|
Dec-02-06 | | Confuse: so kramnik was stronger in this match then he is today? or is his playing style today stronger then back then? (2807 vs 2760)? |
|
Dec-02-06 | | Rocafella: <Confuse> Ratings aren't always a measure of ability in a particular game, they usually just relate to the players current form. One other thing to be taken into account is that this Deep Fritz is weaker than the one in 2006 |
|
Dec-09-06 | | Confuse: Thats true. So would that mean Kramnik was in "better form" back then then he was in the match recently? I guess that makes more sense. Thanks <Rocafella> : ) |
|
Dec-17-06 | | Rocafella: <Confuse> No problem :) |

Yes, what you saw was an example of the horizon effect, and these types of weaknesses apply to all chess analysis software (and humans!). |

Vladimir Kramnik (2807) – Deep Fritz
Brains in Bahrain (2), 06.10.2002 [D27]
Kramnik has found a good strategy against Deep Fritz. As in his match against
Kasparov, he exchanges queens quickly to reach an endgame with just one or
two open files that are both firmly under control. This minimizes the danger of
tactical surprises by the computer and retains the chance of winning the endgame
with his fantastic technique. Well done Vladimir!
1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.e3 e6 5.Bxc4 c5 6.0-0 a6 7.dxc5 Qxd1
8.Rxd1
This move looks modest, but Kramnik knows how to keep increasing the in
such positions.

9...b5 10.Be2 Bb7 11.Nbd2 Nbd7 12.Nb3 Bf8?
This move is unconvincing. A human would just not play it. Apparently the
computer believed that 12.Nb3 was to be followed by 13.Nd2, repeating for a
draw of all things! The Fritz team did not look happy.
13.a4!
A typical strategy to create squares for White’s pieces, along with weaknesses
in Black’s camp.
13...b4 14.Nfd2
Kramnik immediately sends his knight to the newly available c4-square.
14...Bd5 15.f3 Bd6 16.g3 e5 17.e4 Be6 18.Nc4 Bc7 19.Be3 a5 Don’t play this kind of move cavalierly! The b5-square and the a5-pawn are now
very weak. White has a nice position, which is even nicer against a machine,
as Black has almost no counterplay. Black wants to castle and bring his
king’s rook into play, so Kramnik decides to prevent this and keep the initiative.
20.Nc5 (20.Rac1!?) 20...Nxc5 21.Bxc5 Nd7 22.Nd6+ Kf8
13
22...Ke7? 23.Nf5+ Kf6 24.Be7+ Kg6 25.Rac1±.
23.Bf2 Bxd6
Deep Fritz cedes Kramnik the bishop-pair to ease the pressure, but the bishops
constitute a long-term advantage. 23...Ke7 24.Nf5+r.
24.Rxd6 Ke7 25.Rad1 Rhc8 26.Bb5 Nc5!
|
|
Jul-11-08 | | apexin: this looks like a tactical mistake, but computer programs do not commit such
errors. So think hard and you will see what Fritz had up his sleeve.
27.Bc6 Bc4+!
27...Ra6?? 28.Bxc5 Raxc6 29.Rxc6+i with check.; 27...Rxc6? 28.Rxc6 Nxa4
29.Rd2y.
28.Ke1 Nd3+ 29.R1xd3 Bxd3 30.Bc5! (30.Rxd3?? Rxc6o) 30...Bc4
30...Bc2 31.Kd2 Bxa4?? 32.Rd5+ Kf6 33.Bxa4i.
31.Rd4+ Kf6 32.Rxc4 Rxc6 33.Be7+ Kxe7 34.Rxc6
The rook ending is better for White, as Black’s rook must passively defend the
a-pawn. The main principle of rook endings is: activity at all costs.
34…Kd7
34...Rd8 35.Ke2 does not help.
35.Rc5 f6?
Now Black has to stay passive. Notkin showed in Chess Today No.699 that
35...Rc8! is stronger, as the rook is activated after 36.Rxa5 Rc2. The pawn
14
endgame after 36.Rxc8 is drawn, but the points are very deep – so even Deep
Fritz has difficulties spotting them. The main line of Notkin’s analysis goes:
36.Rxc8 Kxc8 37.Kd2 Kd7 38.Kd3 Kd6 39.Kc4 Kc6 and Black has the opposition.
White can’t win the fight for tempi, e.g. 40.h4 g6 41.g4 h5 42.g5 Kd6
43.Kb5 f6! 44.gxf6 g5 45.hxg5 Ke6 46.Kxa5 h4 and the resulting queen
endgame is drawn.
36.Kd2 Kd6 37.Rd5+ Kc6 38.Kd3 g6?!
This weakens Black’s position. 38...Ra7 is better.
39.Kc4 g5 40.h3 h6 41.h4 gxh4 42.gxh4 Ra7 43.h5
Kramnik has all the time in the world and improves his position as much as
possible before playing Rd8.
43...Ra8
Now Kramnik maneuvers to lose a tempo and thus bring Fritz into zugzwang.
He could do this by b2-b3, but this may waste an important reserve tempo.
Rubinstein and Capablanca would certainly be impressed!
44.Rc5+
44.Kd3, with the plan Ke3 and f4, also comes into consideration.
44...Kb6 45.Rb5+
45.Kd5?? Rd8+ 46.Kc4 Rd4+o.
45...Kc6 46.Rd5 Zugzwang. 46...Kc7?!
46...Ra7 47.Rd8 Rc7 48.Rf8 Kd6+ should lose as well, but at least it is more
active.
15
47.Kb5 b3 48.Rd3 Ra7 49.Rxb3 Rb7+ 50.Kc4 Ra7
The pawn endgame after 50...Rxb3 is lost because of White’s distant passed
pawn: 51.Kxb3 Kb6 52.Kc4 Kc6 53.b4i.
51.Rb5 Ra8 52.Kd5 Ra6 53.Rc5+ Kd7 54.b3 Rd6+
54...Ra7 55.Rb5 Ke7 56.Kc6 Ra8 57.Kb7 Rd8 58.Rxa5i.
55.Kc4 Rd4+ 56.Kc3 Rd1 57.Rd5+ 1-0
Simplifying into a pawn ending is the easiest way to win: 57...Rxd5 58.exd5
Kd6 59.b4 axb4+ 60.Kxb4 Kxd5 61.Kb5 Kd6 (61...f5 62.a5 e4 63.fxe4+
fxe4 64.a6 e3 65.a7 e2 66.a8Q+i) 62.a5 f5 63.a6 Kc7 64.Kc5 e4 65.fxe4
fxe4 66.Kd4 Kb6 67.Kxe4 Kxa6 68.Kf5 Kb6 69.Kg6 Kc7 70.Kxh6 Kd7
71.Kg7i. Until now Kramnik has managed to impose his will and reach simple
technical positions with everything under control. Let’s see if Fritz manages to
complicate matters in two days. |

Nov-06-08 | | The Rocket: Kramnik spanks the calculating monster as white in a drawish opening. Very impressive. |
|
Aug-02-11 | | DrMAL: Beautiful game by Kramnik. 27.Bc6 is not sacrificing anything not sure why it is marked as such. 29.R1xd3 does temporarily go down the exchange for a few moves until 33.Be7+ recovers it, with position that looks at first drawn. However, white's rook is much more active than black's rook is, a key (along with active king) to rook endgames. The computer gets worse and worse position by failing to "understand" this elementary fact. With 46...Kc7? the second rule (active king) is violated, now white's king comes in to win. |

12....Bf8. But the bishop has to move, and perhaps 12....Be7 would have ended up exactly the same. Computers are weird. Have you seen Big Rigs? |
|
Jun-26-16 | | morfishine: <MissScarlet> Yes, your idea <Bahrain Fart> is much better. The play on word selected referencing "rain check" makes no sense whatsoever. I know since I've played much golf over the years. A 'rain check' is a credit extended by a golf course to player who had their round cut short due to inclement weather. Typically, if a player played 5 holes of an 18-hole round, he would only get a 9-hole credit. If he played 4 or less, he would get an entire 18-hole credit. Which raises the question: What in god's name does 'rain check' have to do with this game? Thats what I thought: Nothing
This play-on-word is just another abject failure at humor that in the end, is left spiraling into the abyss But perhaps that is funny enough
