Sep-01-03 Kasparov - Ponomariov World Championship Match (2003) 
| |
| Ezely Nakhdov: 128 is too many. In 1948 the AVRO tourney produced an undisputed champ after the death of Alekhine and that tourney was well respected. The top 15 to 20 playing each other twice would be best. The ELO rankings accurately measure strengths over time so no one would get in that ... |

| Ezely Nakhdov: Morphy was widely regarded as the best player of his time and he was American but there was no official WC at that time. That said, IMHO yes. |

Jun-21-03 Lisitsin vs Tal, 1954
| |
| Ezely Nakhdov: Yes, if black doesn't move his bishop, it falls and he loses soon. If he does , 74.Rc8+ will either mate or win the bishop depending on where it's gone. Got to be 1-0. |
