Oct-21-12		waustad: This is posted quickly!

Oct-21-12		eggert13: First time I see a picture of Tiviakov

Oct-21-12		whiteshark: Third win for Naka today? Sofar Nakamura has a clean +2 =0 -0 score against TVakov http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches...

Oct-21-12		tamar: Tiviakov hasn't played 1 d4 since 2001, so we should expect 1 e4 and so forth.

Oct-21-12		kellmano: I have always been of the opinion Tiviakov looks like a Bond villain. I'm impressed that he hasn't played 1.e4 since 2001.

Oct-21-12		Strongest Force: Nak's g-pawn was nearly on 6th rank in Giri-game but was already too big to fail.

Oct-21-12		kellmano: Ah I read it wrong. He hasn't played 1.d4. I'm even more impressed. I have never played 1.d4

Oct-21-12		whiteshark: <kellmano> You can start to play <d4> in a first move any time. Just try it. ;)

Oct-21-12		perfidious: <whiteshark> When I was ~1600, that was how I switched from 1.e4 to 1.d4.

Oct-21-12		tamar: <kellmano> Yes, Tiviakov, a Bond villain. Wears green sweaters and lives in an mountainous retreat and the tintinnabulation of bells...

Oct-21-12		perfidious: Put an eyeball on this Bond villain and compare him to Tiviakov: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michae...

Oct-21-12		Sneaky: Do you expect me to play the Sicilian, Mr. Tiviakov? No, Mr. Nakamura--I expect you to die! Muahahahaha!

Oct-21-12		Shams: <I have always been of the opinion Tiviakov looks like a Bond villain.> I always think of David Hyde Pierce: http://bit.ly/ViooI3

Oct-21-12		technical draw: <kellmano> You can start to play <d4> in a first move any time. Just try it. ;) Not me. I'd rather drink muddy water than play 1.d4.

Oct-22-12		whiteshark: <technical dependent> Here's mud in your eye!

Oct-22-12		lost in space: C'mon <whiteshark>, you recommend to play 1.d4 to be able to win with your loved Albin countergambit. :-)

Oct-22-12		Strongest Force: Tiv looks just like the bad guy in From Russia With Love (by far the best Bond movie) who played a GM in the movie and planed the whole plot! The movie begins with this character playing in a chess tournament; the moves were from Bronstein-Spassky: 1960; the bad guys name was natually: Kronstein!

Oct-22-12		lost in space: lost in space: <<technical draw:> <kellmano> You can start to play <d4> in a first move any time. Just try it. ;) Not me. I'd rather drink muddy water than play 1.d4.> Muddy Water was/is great. Even bigger than John Lee Hooker

Oct-22-12		moronovich: But a muddy hooker could be even better.

Oct-22-12		lost in space: ...or a John Lee Waters

Oct-22-12		whiteshark: <lost in space: you recommend to play 1.d4 to be able to win with your loved Albin countergambit.> You've got me there.

Oct-22-12		leow: Uncommon openings seem to become very common lately or is that just my impression?

Oct-22-12		Strongest Force: I applaud Nak for staying with sicilian. I hope he has better luck against Tiv/Kronstein.

Oct-22-12		Strongest Force: I have played tempting Nc5...I think I came to conclusion that it wasn't worth it...in simular position...mostly from Kan

Oct-22-12		Stonehenge: 12...Bd7 = A Sokolov vs Beliavsky, 1985.
