| Craigokat: Hello. this is Craig's wife/partner, Annie.
SO wonderful to hear such kind words from everyone. I especially enjoyed Once's Chess eulogy. I miss him terribly and I am sad for our 1 yr old daughter, as she will never know him first hand.
Thank you to everyone... |

Jun-13-10 B Pantebre Martinez vs E Paoli, 1976
| |
| Craigokat: This game reminds me of a comment made by the late Boris Kogan during the postmortem of a game we had just finished.
After he obtained a pawn on the sixth rank (not passed but protected) he exclaimed "of coarse after this, all endings are lost" |

May-28-10 W Hook vs J Meyer, 1979
| |
| Craigokat: after 34...Bh6 it looks like 35.Bd1+ does the trick i.e. ..Qdxd1, Qg8+ etc.
..Qbxd1, Rg3+ and Qxf5 etc.
..Bf3, Rxf3 etc. |

still there may be some type of Zugzwang down the road |

May-03-10 Anand vs Topalov, 2010
| |
| Craigokat: To claim 3-fold , you must do so to the arbiter before your move that creates the key position. |

Apr-30-10 Topalov vs Anand, 2010
| |
| Craigokat: Fischer (among others) has instructively shown the clear edge of the B vs.the Kt with pawns on both sides of the board.
In this position it seems that having more pawns actually shuts down the B to a certain extent and will ultimately provide an effective outpost for the knight.
