Jul-08-09 Jakovenko vs Carlsen, 2009 
|
mateifl: <JohnBoy: I don't think white should take a draw here. Play f3, Rh1, h5 and try to prssure the black king. Where is black's play? ...a4? Hardly.> This might backfire. Rooks and Queen on the f file and Black might get more then enough counterplay. |

Jan-08-09 Anatoly Karpov 
|
mateifl: Karpov stated somewhere that he earned about 10 mil $ from chess. Unfortunately, I cannot give a reference, but I find the amount very believable. So he's not by far in the group of richest Russians, those guys worth billions each.
I seem to remember some rumor on Susan Polgar's ... |

|
mateifl: <HoLySmOkE: <3 classic Kramnik wins, that is entering in an endgame with a some advantage and turn it into a win due to superior endgame technique. > This is so untrue..
Can you give us an example?????>
Of what? |
