Jun-06-07 Leko vs Bareev, 2007 
| |
| RisingChamp: This should not be surprising. Bareev is famous for awful tactical variations. In fact he himself admits his reputation as "a player who cannot calculate a single variation".
Maybe he is simply tired already... Would still say he has a chance because his understanding of the ... |

Jun-04-07 Candidates Match: Gelfand - Kasimdzhanov (2007)
| |
| RisingChamp: <s4life> I am glad you appreciate my freedom of thought... "but there are plenty of things wrong with short draws" is still a definitive assertion which is as yet unsubstantiated. I know its fashionable to complain about draws but that doesnt make draws wrong. |

| RisingChamp: I cannot believe that anybody actually still argues that caste is a rational ground for differentiation, even the most rudimentary study of Indian history will demonstrate to you that caste theory was enforced and perpetrated by the people who stood most to benefit by the ... |

Mar-07-07 Diwakar Prasad Singh
| |
| RisingChamp: And yes I agree with Acirce... his recent performance in the West Bengal Grandmaster Open (dont know the correct name) has been pretty solid...drawing and beating GMs etc. While I cant claim to explain how someone who can lose to unrated players can also beat GMs regularly, I ... |

| RisingChamp: By the way check the Minchev page where Eric Schiller doubts the existence of Mr. Minchev, who according to him, does not exist on the FIDE list, and specifically the existence of his game with the strongest opponent Timothy Taylor. |

Feb-02-06 Tal vs A A Kudriashov, 1955
| |
| RisingChamp: Karpov could see tactics as well as any wiorld champ. In fact better than most. See one of his great "positional" games and you will discover that he had to calculate some incredibly complicated tactics to make all those Kh2 h3 a3 and those subtle one square piece maneouvers ... |

Feb-01-06 Corus Group B (2006)
| |
| RisingChamp: Though <cowardly knight> Nezhmetdinov has beaten most of the best players in classical chess as well so thats not the best example. He couldnt be a GM because they didnt let him leave Russia. The game Polugaevsky v. Nezhmetdinov in Sochi is one of the best games of all ... |
