Mar-15-07 Vladimir Tukmakov
| |
| Laskerfan82: Glad to see him as player of the day. I will always remember how my former coach IM Ilya Botvinnik spoke with great reverence about Tukmakov. To translate one of his comments (our lessons were in Hebrew): "Tukmakov was a very strong Grandmaster. VERY strong." Analyzing ... |

Feb-02-07 Bronstein vs Kotov, 1949
| |
| Laskerfan82: <Fisheremon> Good work, this is a very interesting idea indeed. Perhaps White needs to get f4 in before Black does. One way to achieve this is to play 34.g3 instead of 34.f3. Of course this allows 34...Bf3, but I'm not sure that this really helps Black, because of an ... |

| |
| Laskerfan82: <tud> I think Anand has been more dominant and more successful than Larsen was. IMO, he is easily among the ten greatest ever. |

| Laskerfan82: <Also Short has sent letters to Chessbase and someone Friegel (this name sounds familiar)> That would be Frederic Friedel, the editor of ChessBase. |

Oct-16-06 Smyslov - Botvinnik World Championship Rematch (1958)
| |
| Laskerfan82: <keypusher> True indeed. Lasker had planned on retiring from competitive chess after Moscow, 1925, but politics cruelly intervened... When the Nazis rose to power and Hitler became dictator in 1933, Lasker,a Jew, was forced to emigrate. He and his wife Martha went to ... |

Oct-11-06 Kramnik - Topalov World Championship Match (2006)
| |
| Laskerfan82: <<Plato> Yup, I went on <PeerGynt's> ignore list for opposing him when he tried to defend Danailov and put all the blame on Kramnik. And then he accused Kramnik of being behind the cheating allegations against Topalov a few months and even years ago. And then he ... |

Jan-11-06 Tigran Petrosian
| |
| Laskerfan82: <CapablancaFan: Ahh, Max Euwe, world champion for a total of...drum roll please...1 YEAR!Lol.> Defeating Alekhine and becoming the World Champion in the first place is nothing to scoff at. Also, check your history. Euwe won the title in December, 1935 and lost it in ... |

| Laskerfan82: <szunzein> To paraphrase Topalov's own words, he would have to win tournaments like these for another two decades before he can be considered as great or greater than Kasparov. |
