Oct-09-10 Grand Slam Chess Final (2010) 
|
Akireta: As far as I can see Carlsen doesn't have a + score against any of these players. -2 Anand
-1 Kramnik
= Shirov
If my info is correct. |

Jun-30-08 Vladimir Kramnik 
|
Akireta: I think this year's title match will be truly interesting - it's not so often that the true leading lights face it off in a serious match. No doubt Anand is a superb tournament player, but to sit and face the same very strong opponent day in and day out is something different... no ... |

Feb-26-07 Vasyl Ivanchuk 
|
Akireta: I hear people speak regularly of Ivanchuk's endearing eccentricities, I'm quite new to this scene, does anyone here have any interesting examples? |

Jan-27-07 Corus Group A (2007) 
|
Akireta: presumably not ;) |
|
|
|
Jan-23-07 Shulman vs The World, 2007 
|
Akireta: but really in our position I'm voting for the Nimzo. |

|
Dec-11-06 Capablanca - Alekhine World Championship Match (1927) 
|
Akireta: sad that Keres didn't get to have a go... he seems to me the logical successor (at least while Alekhine still lived) a match between those two really would've been something. |

Nov-22-06 Tal Memorial (2006) 
|
Akireta: It's funny... I seem to recall Tal writing somewhere that "to play for a draw with the white pieces is a crime against chess" ho hum. |

|
Nov-22-06 Kibitzer's Café 
|
Akireta: Does anyone know if a record has been posted anywhere of the Blitz games from the Tal Memorial? (I don't know what the precedent is with things like that.) |

|
Nov-22-06 The World vs A Nickel, 2006 
|
Akireta: I was just thinking, are there any longterm plans we can consider which result in our bishop being a tad less useless? |
