ChessHigherCat Member since Sep-27-16 · Last seen Aug-01-19 Hi, I'm a "Murkan sizzan" residing in Costa Rica, home of the unforgettable GM???....well, we made it to the soccer World Cup a few years ago anyway... I don't have the nerves, patience, time or sitzfleisch to play in tournaments, but I really love the game and find it a wonderful diversion from that other great vice: work!

Apr-26-19 GRENKE Chess Classic (2019)    ChessHigherCat: <Die-a-dumbass> You're the liar. I slept 6 hours, got up answered your idiotic post and went to breakfast. You said "continuously' , liar! I'm sure I was typing continuously in my dreams. Not only an obnoxious idiot, but a liar at that!      Apr-26-19 AlphaZero (Computer)    ChessHigherCat: <scholes: That's a very interesting link. So SF 11 supposedly outperforms AZ now? Does (or can) SF 11 run on a neural network, too? It wouldn't surprise me if SF caught up with AZ because SF is commercial software so their bread and butter depends on it and they've ...      Apr-26-19 A Maksimenko vs Damljanovic, 2006    ChessHigherCat: Hey, I got the Friday, that means that the Saturday puzzle will probably be Fischer's mate-in-13 against Byrne or something because I think I'm fated never to score 6 out of 6 (except during the "interregnum" period when the puzzles were chosen pretty much at random)      Apr-25-19 Vasiukov vs S Makarichev, 1972   ChessHigherCat: So nobody (but yours truly) even considered the possibility of white's king penetrating the black castle? It's a fairly common theme. Look, if white establishes a fortress with 37. f7 Qb6 to protect the c-pawn 38. Kf3 and SF thinks black has to sac a pawn: 37. Rf7 Qb6 38. Kf3      Apr-25-19 Naiditsch vs V Keymer, 2019    ChessHigherCat: Fantastic game by Naiditsch! At the risk of repeating myself, I found this game infinitely more interesting and entertaining than games of... Maybe not as instructive in terms of the paradoxical strength of doubled pawns in MC vs. Anand or mating technique in MC vs. FVP but a      Apr-25-19 Kenneth S Rogoff    ChessHigherCat: <Bobsterman3000: We don't blame Muslims for wanting to be around Muslims or black Americans for wanting to be around black Americans. I don't point a finger at black Americans for saying they have an affinity and like being around those that make them fell comfortable.>      Apr-24-19 Carlsen vs Naiditsch, 2019    ChessHigherCat: soporific.... I mean super terrific!!!      Apr-24-19 G Meier vs M Vachier-Lagrave, 2019    ChessHigherCat: If you click through the moves from 50 to 70 as fast as you can you get a hilarious ballroom dancing routine!      Apr-24-19 Joao Nuno Baptista Valente vs M Percivaldi, 2017    ChessHigherCat: Yeah, got that one right but what I don't understand is why white left b4 en prise for 4 moves in a row? Was that a poison pawn somehow?      Apr-24-19 V Keymer vs Caruana, 2019    ChessHigherCat: <fabelhaft> Well, there's no disputing tastes, of course. The games I found entertaining were this game Keymer v. Caruana, MVL vs. Naiditsch and Svidler vs. Meier, which I chose at random. I found that incredibly long endgame where Carlsen managed to mate within 50 ...
