Jan-24-10 Corus Group A (2010)    centercounter: Of course, Naka won't win the tournament. +2 will be a good score for him, given the overage of host nominees. If Shirov can stabilize and then exact the same terror on the locals in the second half, Corus can be his. As for Anand, why did he bother to accept the invitation? I      Sep-27-09 Anderssen vs Staunton, 1851    centercounter: Staunton was just bad, probably no more than an 1800 player in today's world - even given infinite pre-clock time. Staunton was in his prime with his theories against the three-century tradition of throwing everything against against one another's King, but against any ...      Sep-25-09 William John Donaldson    centercounter: John, happy birthday from the guy you beat in the first round of, I think, the 1990 U.S. Open and whose refutation of the Fajarowicz you published in Inside Chess. I enjoyed analyzing with you and you are a class act.      Aug-19-09 Maia Chiburdanidze    centercounter: Maia is a lady of great class. I played her in a simul in the 80's when I was a youngster and after a nice game, which of course she won, her coach, GM Gufeld spent a lot of time going over the game with me, joined after the simul by Maia. It did not seem like a duty to them, ...      Aug-07-09 Shuler vs C S Hall, 1990   centercounter: Yeah, it was one long tournament. Something like 200 rounds. :P      May-31-09 Topalov vs Kramnik, 1999    centercounter: Never mind the Cochrane! I want to see the Halloween Gambit. Failing that (Topalov Black), Albin or the rarely seen Baltic QG.      May-20-09 Vasyl Ivanchuk    centercounter: Agreed... he has gone from #2 in the world to under 2700 in the period of appromimately one year.      Mar-28-09 Anand vs Lautier, 1997    centercounter: <mannetje: I once tried 10...Kxd7!?, witch is not as bad as it looks. Actually it's harder for White to gain some kind of an advantage. After the logical 11.h5 Be4 12.Rh3 Black can equalise with either 12...Bg2 13.Rg3 Bd5 14.Bd3 Bd6 = or 12...Bd5 =. White should probably ...      Feb-03-09 L van Vliet vs Znosko-Borovsky, 1907    centercounter: Znosko Borovsky makes it look too easy. Probably because very often, people who play the Stonewall or Colle do so to mask their own laziness. In this case, it was quite clear that Vliet was making system moves and did not understand anything.      Nov-23-08 Anna Akhsharumova    centercounter: She was the 1983 USSR Women's Champion, period. The bio should be changed to reflect that. That USSR ruling runs directly contrary to FIDE's laws. A protest about a clock malfunction on the next day is ludicrous and no sane person can even recognize such a ruling as being ...      Oct-21-08 Anand - Kramnik World Championship Match (2008)     Sep-02-08 Grand Slam Chess Final (2008)     Jun-24-08 Irina Krush     Jun-24-08 Dortmund Sparkassen (2008)     Jun-18-08 Aerosvit (2008)     Jun-09-08 Anna Zatonskih     Jun-08-08 Anand vs M Perez Ferris, 2007    May-15-08 Garry Kasparov     Mar-12-08 Ray Robson     Mar-11-08 Karpov -
