Abecedarian has kibitzed 49 times to chessgames   [less...]

May-18-04 S Sery vs Z Vecsey, 1921    Abecedarian: Thanks <ruylopez900>.      May-18-04 Carlsen vs Z Andriasian, 2003    Abecedarian: It's pretty amazing that Carlsen was a month under 13 years old when he played it, though....      May-18-04 Magnus Carlsen    Abecedarian: Fair enough. But I would say "mediocre effort" or "mediocre play". Some of the discussion on the Kramnik page mirrors this same discussion. When brilliant players prefer dull, go-for-draw play over dazzling, daring chess, then sure, it's mediocre. My real point was about ...      May-18-04 Sax vs Fedorowicz, 1986    Abecedarian: x-ray???      May-17-04 Vladimir Kramnik    Abecedarian: Oh agreed, of course. I'm kvetching more about the implied post-mortem rating of personal faves. I'd love to be around for a real tournament... until then, I still think of Kasparov as champ.      May-14-04 Botvinnik vs G Thomas, 1936    Abecedarian: Thanks <Woodpusher>. Quite right, basic tactics.... With more time (sneaking peaks at chessgames.com at work as I am) I'd have seen them.      May-14-04 G Tringov vs Fischer, 1965    Abecedarian: Well geez, the eggs on my face. LOL      May-13-04 Fidel Castro    Abecedarian: Agreed. On another note: 1. d4... ;)      May-10-04 H Bogart vs NN, 1933    Abecedarian: Concise fun play against a weaker opponant. You can see the chess hustler in Bogart right away with a gonzo move like 2. g4. You pull that out against someone for four bucks in Washington Square when you just know you're going to eat them alive! Go Bogie! Even beatdown ...      May-07-04 Alekhine vs NN, 1915    Abecedarian: He also died pennyless and alone. Great stuff, world class chess.      May-07-04 B Alterman vs Deep Fritz, 2000     May-05-04 Tarrasch vs Gunsberg, 1890     May-05-04 Alekhine vs Russian Tennis Club, 1932     May-03-04 Gossip vs E Gilbert, 1879     Apr-28-04 Sutovsky vs Smirin, 2002     Apr-23-04 J Polgar vs Anand, 1999     Apr-23-04 Karpov vs Topalov, 1994     Apr-21-04 Morphy vs T Lichtenhein, 1857     Apr-20-04 Kramnik vs Shirov, 1994     Apr-16-04 Tal vs Hjartarson, 1987     Mar-26-04 Rotlewi vs Rubinstein, 1907     Mar-23-04 J Smith vs G Derrickson, 1860     Mar-22-04 Blackburne vs Lipschutz, 1889
