Dec-22-04 Calvia Olympiad (2004)   trestor aleostro: <machess: dismal showing again by the philippine team!> Considering that the Philippine team was seeded 40 and finished 19th out of 128 teams (with 422.5 tiebreak points but sharing 12th-20th places with 32 game points), I don't think it's "dismal showing" at all. The      Sep-08-04 Mark Paragua    trestor aleostro: There, it's final. Mark Paragua wins Alushta Autumn 2004, 11.5 pts/15 and one full point ahead of Kolubov and Ovetchkin.      Feb-13-04 Bobby Fischer    trestor aleostro: Okay, ughaibu's not a Fischer basher.      Feb-04-04 Taimanov vs Fischer, 1971    trestor aleostro: IMHO, the 'problem' in really appreciating Fischer is that one cannot completely dissociate viewing Fischer's genius in chess from the person himself. Indeed, he has played great excellent chess. And there's no denying one major reason why chess got more popular especially ...      Nov-01-03 Kibitzer's Café    trestor aleostro: Have you heard of the time when Transylvania sent a team to the Chess Olympiad? The all-vampire Transylvanian team lost every game because the bloodsuckers dared not touch their kings. (As you know, that chesspiece has a cross on it.)      Aug-20-03 Alexandra Kosteniuk    trestor aleostro: I wonder how I'd feel looking across the chess board at a lady dressed like her in the photo - with that hint of a smile on her face before she says to you, "Checkmate." Anybody know what happened to that Australian guy who protested his losing a title match against a ...      May-24-03 Vasiukov vs Larsen, 1974    trestor aleostro: If I remember right, this game won the brilliancy prize in the 1974 Manila International Tournament. It's amazing that the White Bishop at f6 hung there for 8 moves (capturing it would permit mate).      May-23-03 Fischer vs Larsen, 1971    trestor aleostro: If 41... c2, 42. Re1+ Qe5 43. Rxe5+ Kxe5 44. a7 c1=Q+ 45. Bg1 wins.      May-23-03 Fischer vs Tal, 1961    trestor aleostro: Great moves: 19. O-O-O! and 23. fxe5!!      May-22-03 Karpov vs Andersson, 1975    trestor aleostro: This game was Karpov's first loss in tournament play after he got crowned as chess champion by forfeit against Bobby Fischer in April 1975.
