Sep-08-06  Holmstrom: Bacrot forfeits on time?
Sep-09-06  anandrulez: the comps give a healthy +1.0 advantage here for Bacrot , how did he lose this position ? is it a forfeit ? or relay error ?
Sep-11-06  karik: The game ended on move 57, not 23. The official site is alive again.

Aug-01-16  1971: Greatest player ever. I'm confident in that now. It's not a knock on Morphy Capa, Fischer, Karpov or Kasparov, he just managed to blend all their styles beautifully. He's the truth in chess. I've been studying his 15-16 yr old games and the energy and clarity while maintaining that positional punch is like young Bobby Fischer reborn, or at least the closest one I've seen. I can't say enough about the kid, I just love chess and he plays it the right way.

44..Qd4! and Qe5!

Aug-10-16  Howard: Sorry, but some would argue that it's a bit premature to call Carlsen the "greatest player ever". Bear in mind, for one thing, that his days as #1 are not nearly as long as Karpov or Kasparov.

Give him some more time...
