 | | Penguincw: Happy 52nd Chandler! I bet he is one of the few players with an undefeated + score against Kasparov. |
|
Aug-24-12 | | waustad: I notice that he isn't playing in the Olympiad this year but his wife is. Is he along as a coach? |
|
Nov-18-12 | | waustad: In her press conference at the WWCC knockout tournament Zhao Xue said she's playing in Christchurch soon. |
|
Apr-03-13 | | waustad: Enjoy your last day as a 52 year old. I jus bought another copy of Chess for Children along with a tournament set for a 6 year old. Hopefully he'll take it up. |
|
Apr-04-14 | | waustad: Happy b'day yet again. |

 | | offramp: Yes! Happy birthday to him. I will always be grateful to him for having given to the world the fantastic game Karpov vs Chandler, 1983, which Chandler lost. But at one point he could have had the most fantastic win. As I say on that page, and I don't think this is an exaggeration, <Poor Murray did indeed miss the chance of one of the most spectacular wins ever against a world champion>. |

 | | Sally Simpson: Happy Birthday Son (I see they are still getting our games mixed up - see above - that minor brilliancy was one of mine). A lad at a bookstall a few years back wanted me to sign 'How to Beat Your Dad." thinking I was really Murray's dad. No amount of proof would convince him otherwise. I eventually signed it adding 'I'm not Murray's Dad.' Yes the missed Queen sac v Karpov - one of the 'great unplayed melodies of the chess board.' (good title for a chess book that one.) |

May-16-14 | | waustad: He has purchased a church that is meant to be a chess center as well as venue for weddings and such. Nigel Short played a simul there to comemmorate it's reopening. http://www.devonportstpauls.co.nz/g... |

Jan-04-15 | | waustad: Chessbase has an article about the 122nd New Zealand Open Championships 2015 by Chandler, who is the tournament promoter. So far it is only in German, http://de.chessbase.com/post/schach..., but I would suspect that it will be on the English page soon. Richard Taylor is one of the players. Chessbomb is showing the top 4 boards live and has had some other games added later on. |

He missed it as the 'rush of blood to the head' lead him to miss or not play the right move, which I think he might have seen, I think it was a psychological thing. He's there everyday. His big thing are his 'church' (the Chess Centre) and his Gambit Book business etc. |

 | | Richard Taylor: <waustad: Here is the link in English: http://en.chessbase.com/post/new-ze... Thanks for that. Goodhue often turns up (or used to) (especially to club games) late. He played an opening that Bischoff thought might be a new deep theory but when pressed admitted, after the game (he doesn't play main lines and improvises to get out of 'book', but one of his "innovations", we pointed out to him, was the Rossolimo which he thought he had invented!) he had just made it up. I looked at his game and he was o.k. but overlooked a good exchange sac by Bischoff which was strong if not winning. He's good on counter attack. Good that some lower ranked players get to play the GMs or have the chance to. |

|
Jun-09-15 | | waustad: I see that there is an award winning film about chess from New Zealand: http://www.thewrap.com/new-zealand-... I suppose this is as good as anywhere for an NZ chess news post. |
