| gregorivus: <NOT the way to become WC. I'm not a strong enough player to know if it is the Marshall-Topalov Syndrome of trying to win drawn games> I think you're very right, probably Chucky needs a more drawing-approach to the game. After all, that works wonders with bold ... |

Oct-20-07 Garry Kasparov
| |
| gregorivus: Well, well, Garry is doing a fine job in the media. His Colbert appearance was very very good! <I mean going publicly in arena against a powerful man like Putin in today's Russia> It's nice to see him delving so well in politics. I think isn't going to be so easy to stop a ... |

| gregorivus: <World Champion has to win the title from the previous WC in a match> Oh yes, that's my view too. I simply can't believe how there are people that thought that Kramnik wasn't a real champion just because, according to them, he is a "boring drawmaster", barely able to win ... |

Oct-04-07 Karjakin vs M Karttunen, 2007
| |
| gregorivus: <Unless someone can tell me the reasoning for 4. ...c6?! and then 5. ...Nc7?? I am going to consider this a dubious line of the Alekhine.> He was possibly trying to take Karjakin "out of the book". And then he goes even further into smart lines: 14...Na6 is pathetic. |
