Apr-28-04 Kibitzer's Café    infinitehope: i would just like to note that fritz 8.0's advertising slogan of "kasparov couldnt beat it, can you???" may not be their best approach. because the obvious answer is no, and i dont even need to spend $80 to find that out.      Apr-28-04 Anand vs Bareev, 2003   infinitehope: PART II finally, as regards something like linares 2004....these players were very evenly matched, and again taking unnecessary risks is not going to help them win the tournament. if we think about the 80s and the first match between karpov and kasparov, one should remember ...      Apr-14-04 Petrov, Modern Attack (C43)    infinitehope: there is surely something odd going on with the stats here. if these numbers were relatively accurate, black would be just as well off playing the philador (actually, black would be a bit better off playing the philador). to my knowledge, despite kostens book, there are no high      Mar-12-04 Linares (2004)    infinitehope: i know it is at least on icc.      Mar-10-04 A Yusupov vs Timman, 1986    infinitehope: and one might add that given how "non-brutal" yusupov's style generally is, when he brutally destroys the grunfeld, its not a good sign for the grun.....or is at least an indication of how very difficult the opening is to play from black's side. timman was still a powerhouse in      Feb-25-04 Sicilian, Alapin (B22)    infinitehope: i vote for rozentalis, but thats just me. for that matter im happy with calling it b22, lol.      Jan-30-04 John M Emms    infinitehope: it does make me happy. and you are quite right about the nimzo book. i actually came away from that book finally feeling like i half understood the opening. its good to know he is an enjoyable person to be around too. :)
