Feb-21-23 WR Chess Masters (2023)    flimflam48: After 25 games, there are no wins for Black?! gulp! So, does this mean that White really does have an advantage, or...is this simply a myth...and players with White are playing a better game all up?! Maybe it depends on the opening they use?! Hmmm...pause for thought!      Jul-24-22 FTX Road to Miami (2022)    flimflam48: Carlsen has nothing to win, nothing to prove; he's probably bored with the whole thing now!

Hey, he might go into politics...and follow Garry's lead here?!      May-10-22 27th Sigeman & Co (2022)    flimflam48: What on earth is Shirov doing propping the rest of the table up like that? And with zero wins to boot!?      Jan-15-22 82nd Armenian Championship (2022)    flimflam48: Oh dear...not a good start for Tigran; he ends up propping the rest of the field up after three rounds?!

Chess & computers! What's the point of using a search engine...or 2 or 3!!.. because it's a form of cheating! The game has reached new lows as a consequence , I think; any position can be inserted into a search engine, even Chess 960 positions, and given ...      Feb-07-17 Fischerandom Chess    flimflam48: I have a horrible feeling that computers are effectively wrecking chess...since any position can be analysed to the 'nth' degree...and being human, we tend to go with the computer's analysis nearly all of the time instead of going with our own 'gut' feeling...this may happen to ...      Feb-02-16 Carlsen vs Y Hou, 2016    flimflam48: 45)...a5 (0.26);...h5 (3.48) Komodo 8 analysis.
