md65000 has kibitzed 9 times to chessgames

May-07-10 Anand - Topalov World Championship Match (2010)    md65000: <wordfunph> Thanks a bunch!      Apr-25-10 Anand vs Topalov, 2010    md65000: <Caissanist: I remember when Botvinnik lost his title to Tal in 1960, he was quoted as saying "I could not make myself dislike him". I wonder if Anand's likability serves as a kind of competitive weapon.> Interesting idea. In this case the weapon might be doubly powerful ...      Jan-05-10 Falkbeer vs NN, 1847    md65000: I understand NN was actually Paul Morphy. This humiliating loss at the age of 10 was what inspired him to take up the game seriously...and the rest is history.      Dec-14-09 Nyback vs U Von Herman, 2009    md65000: Poor Ulf, losing to a combo that has appeared in every tactics puzzle book ever written. After this game he must have felt like Jose Canseco with the fly ball bouncing off his head and into the stands for a home run.      Dec-01-09 Kasparov vs Sting, 2000    md65000: "Despite the inevitable loss, it is impressive to hold out for 45 moves against a player of such calibre." Anyone can just keep on playing in a hopelessly lost position. That's not much of a feat.
