Jan-29-06 Napoleon Bonaparte
| |
| vampiero: Merci szunzein de parler Francais, je sais que ca donne une impression que tu sais de quoi tu parle mais moi aussie je peu parler francais. Et juste si tu savais pas, c'est un conversation sur Napoleon et non pas Mozart. |

Jan-29-06 Anand vs Gelfand, 2006
| |
| vampiero: a beatiful game in which Anand sets up his position, then steals the initiative to create Kingside anarchy, and then plays a very precise passive endgame to advance his pawn majority. |

Jan-22-06 Topalov vs Gelfand, 2006
| |
| vampiero: pawn islands tend to be a weakness when there are many pieces on the board such as middlegames or the begginning of an endgame with alot of pieces is bad too. But in this case, Gelfand has a passed pawn on the a-file which is a strength. Read My System by Nimzowitsch to understand ... |

Jan-01-06 Petrov Defense (C42)
| |
| vampiero: can someone explain to me why 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nxe5 d6 4. Nf3 Nxe4 5. d3 isn't played, because after ...Nf6 6. d4 is played its the exact same position as the mainline except Blacks knight is back on the f6 and not in the middle of the board? |

Dec-30-05 Morozevich vs Motylev, 2005
| |
| vampiero: Black doen'st have any pieces to make a serious claim to the kingside, if anything, he can battle for the queenside but realisticly hes gotta aim for a tough route just to get a draw |
