 | | OhioChessFan: <Have you got a link for that GMAN quotation?> <dalbertz> posted it recently, <mack> I'll link it here and in the sticky. http://pub11.bravenet.com/forum/924... |

| | OhioChessFan: Well. I see someone already posted the link, and I'm not allowed to post an external link to the sticky. Anyway, glad you found it. |
|
| Jan-16-07 | | BishopofBlunder: Wow! How time flies! It's hard to believe this game started over 5 months ago. <OhioChessFan: ....Would you write graffiti on a Picasso?> No. I'm lazy, so I would just write a graffito. |
|
| Jan-17-07 | | Chess Classics: Hey guys, just letting you know that I sent in a brieg overview of the game to chessbase.com, with the link to this page attached. I'm hoping that they want to write something on it-or did someone beat me to it and already send it in? Regards,

| | OhioChessFan: I just sent a link to Mig on his Daily Dirt page. I'm surprised neither he nor Chessbase have covered it yet, but once Corus is over, I expect them both to mention it. |

| Jan-18-07 | | mack: Ray Keene has posted this brief comment:
<black was struggling the whole time-i used to play this variation as black with --ba7 in preference to ---be7 which looks passive to me> |
|
| Jan-18-07 | | SouCapi: <mack> Where can I find Ray Keene's post? So accordingly to him, GMAN's troubles started on the sixth move... |
|
| Jan-18-07 | | mack: <soucapi> Just go to the Raymond Keene page. |
|
| Jan-18-07 | | weisyschwarz: It is true that the GM was on the run, with no real chance for counterplay, as he himself noted. I don't know if ...Ba7 was any better, but I knew that GM Nickel wanted to guard d6. |
|
| Jan-18-07 | | RookFile: Be7 is a book move played by grandmasters all over. Ray Keene is saying that in the opening, he preferred ...Ba7 over ...Be7, because it leads to more active counterplay. That doesn't mean ...Be7 is a bad move. No, his troubles didn't start with 6....Be7. |

| | OhioChessFan: Ahhhh, that loverly, loverly Dancing Rook. It's so nice to see that every time I pop by this page. |

| Jan-20-07 | | noctiferus: Dear team-mates, please have a look at what an old friend of us is writing:

| Jan-20-07 | | azaris: <noctiferus> I also have a theory. According to my theory <sharpnova> is super-intelligent, but other people tap into his brain waves and reduce his intelligence. When he's all alone he's a perfect genius. |
|
| Jan-20-07 | | noctiferus: <azaris>
Maybe, but in this case, there is evidence that we have superhuman superpowers, since our interference was so heavy that we were able to worsen even the quality of her english (it became, at some time, even worse than mine, namely when she posted some comments as hungarian, or cech, sorry I cant' remember the pages). |

Topalov played 6...Be7 Li Shilong vs Topalov, 2004On the other hand, Manual of Chess Openings 14th edition only includes 6...Ba7, no mention of 6...Be7. |

| Jan-20-07 | | SouCapi: <noctiferus: Dear team-mates, please have a look at what an old friend of us is writing: http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybka... > LOL! |

| | OhioChessFan: Let's not desecrate this masterpiece with any more references to the delusional one. Please? Thanks. |
|
| Jan-21-07 | | themadhair: Just to confirm - that dancing rook is for life? |

| Jan-22-07 | | Artar1: After writing to A. Nickel to thank him for a wonderful game, I received this e-mail reply from him: <I can only try to imagine, what took place on the World Team side. It must have been such giant and special in chess as Woodstock in pop music. Maybe the comparison is an unbalanced one, especially as it all happened only on the web, but it I like it, as it shows the dimensions and the dedication. And then, Woodstock was only over some days, and the Chessgames-com Challenge took some months.Best wishes, hope we will meet again.
Arno
If someone asks you for my address, you may please give it to him, it's not secret. - Thanks a lot.> |

 | | Honza Cervenka: <RookFile: Be7 is a book move played by grandmasters all over.> 6...Be7 is a sideline of Polugaevsky variation which has become "theory" only in 1990s. I agree with Ray Keene that it is rather passive line but white can have big troubles to crack solid black position and as the practice is showing black position can also turn quite quickly into active or superior one in case of improper, committal, far-fetched or inaccurate play from white's part. Still I think that 6...Ba7 (i.e. the old main line) is more thematic and logical continuation here. |
