Oct-15-09 S Kindermann vs T Wippermann, 2000
|
tranquil simplicity: WOW!! A highly original game by Stefan Kindermann whose book 'LENINGRAD DUTCH' converted me into a Dutch Defense player. |

|
tranquil simplicity: I fully agree with you there Open Defense. Karel ought to be awarded GM status posthumously. Infact I feel that there is a list of Great Chess players that ought to have that title; CHIGORIN, BLACKBURNE, MORPHY, PAULSEN,ZUCKERTORT, SPIELMANN, OPOCENSKY, DE RIVIERE etc ... |

|
tranquil simplicity: HI! There seems to be very scant or no info at all about a very strong Chess player (GM?) with a line named after him (Sicilian Taimanov- Bastrikov Variation). ANY INFO?? |

Oct-02-09 Svidler vs Karpov, 2009

Oct-02-09 Kasparov vs Karpov, 2009 
|
tranquil simplicity: Hi there! This is directed at AuN1. That is excellent observation on your part; the way Karpov seems to miss the sac's on the King-side. I believe this happens because Karpov's strength and concentration lies in quiet, very deep positional moves. Most GM's in the 70s,80s |

Sep-28-09 Karpov vs Kasparov, 2009 
|
tranquil simplicity: First I'll dive into the proceedings with my opinion on certain things. Even though i will not overtly take sides I dare suggest that ' if one has a tight, cautious and fawning nature, it does not give them a mandate to patronise others with their puritanical views on ... |

Sep-08-09 G Jones vs Van Wely, 2009
|
tranquil simplicity: The style displayed by Gawain is my cup of tea. This is bringing the beautiful art back into the old days of the Romantics, featuring daring sacrifices,material imbalances and brilliant combinations. Well done Jones! |
