Feb-16-16 | | zanzibar: I want to know about the knight move in the middle of the game(*)- does that other guy do that often or was that just a one-off? (*) If you watch the video, you know which one I'm talking about. |
|
Feb-16-16 | | Jim Bartle: Amazing the way the guy tried to cheat.
I do wonder what happened before the game, why the guy didn't smell a rat. After all it's not typical to have multiple cameras filming a game with a number of people watching. It's only happened with me 5 or 10 times. |
|
Feb-16-16 | | zanzibar: <JimB> only 5-10x's? You modest stud you. |
|
Feb-16-16 | | Jim Bartle: Yes, usually filming for America's Funniest Bloopers. |

Feb-18-16 | | Granny O Doul: Seemed to me the guy wasn't sure whether both black knights should be removed or just one, so he took both to be on the safe side. His "trash" talk hardly rose to the level of waste paper. |

 | | beenthere240: Grabbing 2 knights (at once) seemed economical. |

|
Mar-06-17 | | Doniez: Happy birthday to my favourite chess commentator (along with Yasser and Alejandro and GM Svidler) |
|
Mar-06-17 | | ColeTrane: @ <chess is more> don't be such an idiot. |
|
Mar-06-17 | | Ironmanth: Happy birthday to you, Grandmaster Maurice! Really appreciate your outstanding chess commentary. Keep reaching for the stars in your plans, sir! |
|
Mar-06-17 | | TheFocus: Happy birthday, Maurice Ashley. |
|
Mar-06-17 | | JimNorCal: I enjoyed the team of Ashley and King in the late, lamented Intel Grand Prix videos.
They made a real attempt to make chess entertaining, pioneers in that field in regards to video. |

 | | tpstar: <trying really hard to bring energy into a game> <make chess entertaining> Agree. He is a key part of the Saint Louis commentary team, helping amateurs follow top level chess in real time. Ashley also handles the post-game interviews which is much harder than it looks. <Steve Skojec> I will pray that you find the strength and guidance to chart out a new and better course, doing a better job of helping people get to Heaven. I'm sure you will succeed at that. |

Nov-10-17 | | diagonal: Maurice Ashley at <Pan Pacific 1995 in San Francisco>, the premier big event of his career, playing Korchnoi, Nunn, Hübner, Browne, Christiansen, DeFirmian, Gulko, Tisdall, Waitzkin, and two ladies; funny group shot of most of the participants plus officials: http://www.chessdryad.com/photos/sa... |

Nov-10-17 | | diagonal: They still have written a tournament book in 1995, the year when Netscape (the computer services company known for its web browser, Netscape Navigator) made an extremely successful IPO, and Windows 95 was launched by Microsoft; well, the 1995 Pan Pacific chess tournament book from James Eade with annotations by Nick DeFirmian tells: <Organized to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the United Nations' charter in San Francisco in 1945, the tournament combined playing strength and diversity in an unprecedented fashion. The roster of stars spanned generations, crossed political and economic boundaries, and included the women's World Champion, Xie Jun, of China, and history's strongest African-American chess player, Maurice Ashley, of New York. Whether young or old, man or woman, communist or capitalist, there was someone for everyone. These champions from the former Soviet Union, China, England, Germany, Norway, Switzerland and the United States vied for supremacy for two grueling weeks. It was only fitting that such a competitive event was ultimately won by the greatest fighter of them all, Viktor Kortchnoi.> |

Feb-12-21 | | Poisonpawns: Danny Rensch vs Ashley at foxwoods in 2000 https://youtu.be/-VmOgyV6n6U |
|
Oct-05-21 | | TheBish: For some reason, there are only 3 of the 9 games Ashley played at the 1999 Manhattan Chess Club March International, the tournament where he gained his final GM. One of the games missing is from round 8, the game he won (before losing the last round game) to give him the score needed for a GM norm. I found that game here, in GM Kavalek's Washington Post column: https://www.washingtonpost.com/arch... The game score is:
1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nd2 g6 4. Ngf3 Bg7 5. h3 Nf6 6. e5 Ne4 7. Nxe4 dxe4 8. Ng5 c5 9. Bc4 O-O 10. c3 cxd4 11. cxd4 Nc6 12. Be3 Na5 13. Bb3 Nxb3 14. Qxb3 b6 15. Nxe4 Be6 16. Qa3 f5 17. exf6 exf6 18. O-O f5 19. Ng5 Bc4 20. Rfc1 Bd5 21. Bf4 h6 22. Nf3 Bxf3 23. Qxf3 Qxd4 24. Rc7 Rad8 25. Rxa7 g5 26. Be3 Qxb2 27. Rf1 f4 28. Bc1 Qf6 29. Qb3+ Kh8 30. Ba3 Ra8 31. Rd7 Rfd8 32. Be7 1-0 |
