Nov-16-06 The World vs A Nickel, 2006
| |
| hpdrifter: <whiteshark:> <This is our strategy in one sentence> With that kind of strategy Arno is more likely to perceive you as 'whitebait' - time to cut your teeth on nice simple game of checkers. |

| |
| hpdrifter: It is the perogative of a geek to quiver defiantly in his demise. It is the obligation of a gentleman to concede magnanimously in defeat. But it takes the greatness of a true master to appreciate the beauty of his own loss. |

| |
| hpdrifter: Bush claimed it was his 'right' to win but Carter countered he 'left' a greater legacy... |

Nov-09-06 Svidler vs Leko, 2006
| |
| hpdrifter: The only way the contestants of this game could be excused of their peacemaking was if their white flag waving was due to a guilty conscious over wasting Valuable Drinking Time. |

Nov-09-06 Aronian vs Svidler, 2006
| |
| hpdrifter: <FORK-OVERLOAD TRICK> Haven't heard that one before. Strip away all the lexical complexity and we're left with a simple 'deflection' - one of the simplest tools in the box. |

Nov-09-06 Vladimir Kramnik
| |
| hpdrifter: Kramnik has a deeper understanding of chess than all of his contempories. He is also a steady and more consistent player. Energy is his only enemy, so his reign will not span the length of the previous K. |

Nov-04-06 Kramnik - Deep Fritz (2006)
| |
| hpdrifter: When did an engine not receive outside help? When did a Chessmaster not receive outside help? Not a lot of straight shooting going on here. |

| |
| hpdrifter: The interest would have revolvered round -
Fischer (Capablanca on combinational acid)
Karpov (Capablanca on positional acid) |
