Oct-12-17 European Club Cup (2017)    17.Bxg7: Hello, Given that this is the forum for the European Club Cup (I was confused because I read discussion about other topics), I have a couple of questions: How much of "Club Spirit" exists between these participants? Do they actually belong to a chess club (as a little chess ...      Oct-06-17 Ruy Lopez (C67)   17.Bxg7: Question: Whta is the origin of the name "Rio de Janeiro Variation?". It is because of some Brazilian player? Or the Rio Interzonal in 1979?      Oct-01-17 Isle of Man Masters (2017)    17.Bxg7: By looking at the latest ratings, it seems Caruana and So will get the rating spots into the Candidates. The question now is which one between Anand or Kramnik will get the wilcard. These are the only likely candidates and also those with better connections in Germany (involved with      Sep-18-17 World Cup (2017)    17.Bxg7: <PhilFeeley> Thanks a lot!      Sep-13-17 Kibitzer's Café    17.Bxg7: I have a question, sorry, chess related ... on chess history. We know that in certain championships, until early 90s, adjournements were in place. But I would like to know if Chess Olympiad Games (for example in the 70s and 80s) allowed game adjournements or not. Thanks      Dec-26-16 Santa Claus    17.Bxg7: Thanks Santa and Chessgames for the premium membership!! Wow!      May-26-15 FIDE Grand Prix Khanty-Mansiysk (2015)    17.Bxg7: I wonder among Caruana and Nakamura, who can be considered "most American". ¿Caruana, born and raised in the US, but who once represented Italy (due to family) or Nakamura (born in Japan, but raised in the US)? This could be an interesting survey to see what people think. IMHO, ...      Sep-18-14 Bilbao Masters (2014)    17.Bxg7: <vkk: EXCEPT.... Michael Jordan's comback in 1995 was probably the best comeback to a real sport, not chess, ever.> Not quite, because Jordan left as a champion and the best player and just took an absence (sort of vacation from basketball) to return in triumphant mode. He ...      Jan-26-14 Levon Aronian    17.Bxg7: This is the problem I see for Aronian in the candidates. He has shown several times that he can't handle the pressure in the most important moments like in 2011 and 2013 candidates. He can make excuses today like "I was playing for fun, I already won the tournament", but the issue ...      Jan-26-14 Tata Steel Masters (2014)    17.Bxg7: This is the problem I see for Aronian in the candidates.
