| Backward Development: <Pizza>
"Some consider that when I play I am excessively cautious, but it seems to me that the question may be a different one. I try to avoid chance. Those who rely on chance should play cards or roulette. Chess is something quite different." – Tigran ... |

Oct-21-05 Vladimir Kramnik
| |
| Backward Development: Perhaps the original Russian article has been posted here already, but cb.com has posted an english summary of Topalov's interview with 64. It would indicate that Kramnik is in a different class altogether than Topalov and not worthy to challenge him for the FIDE title. |

Oct-11-05 Karpov vs Nedelin, 1961
| |
| Backward Development: Notes from my analysis:
8.h3!?<an unusual move order that prevents 8...Bg4 but allows 8...Na5!? with an unclear position> 13...Nb7!?<Another unusual move order. More common is 13...c4 with ...Nb7 to follow.> 14.Nf1<returns to main lines, but the advance |

Aug-29-05 Karpov vs V Pronin, 1968
