In reply back to...
<A Karpov Fan: Is this the Twilight Zone?> A reply immediately followed...
<Red October: no.. this is the Q Continuum the Twilight Zone is the Fischer page>
Fascinating... To which a subtle retort was then quickly dispatched. <A Karpov Fan: okay <Red>, my apologies to Q of course, I wouldn't want to offend an entity with the power to manipulate matter and time at whim (but which also seems to be at the mercy of male pattern baldness) :-)> Undoubtedly!
All of this superfluity can be found on page 22 of the

| Jan-26-10 | | Karpova: From Carlsen-Kramnik, Wijk an der Zee, 2010
Carlsen vs Kramnik, 2010cielodrive10050: <Danilov is bulgarian...and he knows something about russian tricks (fischer and Korknjoy knew too..)...so all he did was protect Topalov against the accusation of cheating...the russians had said that Topalov was cheating...5 years later Topalov is still over 2800 so it proves he was not cheating> acirce: <<cielodrive> I agree, Danailov is Bulgarian.> |

| Jan-30-10 | | TheBB: From Corus 2010.
<metatron2: --- [Anand calling Carlsen sometime in Nov 2009] ---Anand: Hi Magnus I have an offer for you.
Carlsen: I am listening.
Anand: If you agree to be my second during my match with Topalov, I will help you win Corus 2010. Carlsen: And how exactly are you going to do that?
Anand: Simple, I will beat your main rivals but draw with everybody else, so that I won't become your rival myself. Carlsen: OK sounds good to me, just keep this between us. --- [After Anand's interview] ---
Carlsen: Why did you say that Vishi, didn't we agree keeping it confidential? Anand: Ooops you are right.. Don't worry, I'll just tell them that I was talking about Nielsen.. --- [Tonight, after R12] ---
Anand: OK, Magnus I did my part of the deal, hope you are ready to start diving into some deep preparations. Carlsen: Of course, do you want me to consult with Kaspy as well? Anand: Nah, Lets give Topa some theoretical chance in this match, you know for the sake of sportsmanship..> |

 | | OhioChessFan: Have to give some background. During a livegame of Van Wely - Shirov, Chessgames mistakenly showed the first few moves of Nakamura-Carlsen, a Spanish opening. Then they correctly flipped back to Van Wely - Shirov, an English opening. <Domdaniel: Ah, the *Armada Gambit* -- suddenly transposing from the Spanish to the English. > |

| | TheAlchemist: <HeMateMe>: I thought I recognized a couple of the Canadien female players from the "Hunk of the Month" calendar i saw on sale at the dollar store. Neil Young performing at the closing ceremonies:
My My Hey Hey
Canada hockey is herrrrre to stay
Its better to wrist one
that try a fade awaaaay
when into OT
'gainst the USA
My My Hey Hey
This was a Sidney CROSBY day
Better switch lines than to
play all DAAAY
when we play hockey
on olympic day
<Jim Bartle>: Nice. I guess Neil was helped on that song by Crosby, Staal and Nash. |

 | | SwitchingQuylthulg: Instant classic, no matter what you personally think of Topalov: <Nigel Short: I understand Toppy's strategy perfectly well, even if I don't necessarily agree with it. He is not a terribly sophisticated person, to be honest. Football seems to be his main cultural interest. One should therefore not be too surprised if his match strategy should also be similarly lacking in finesse. He basically wants to hit his opponent on the head with a hamster.> Topalov vs Anand, 2010 |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: BEST POST OF 2010
acirce: <Susan Polgar: <47.Kxg2??... I do not understand why Topalov played 47. Kxg2 so quickly when 47. Rf7+ was in play.>
This comment surprises me. 47.Kxg2 Would have lead to a easy win Pawn ending for Black, while with the actual continuation resists a few moves more. Topalov took the right decision, though he is still lost anyway.> Does Susan even look at the board at all when she comments? |
|
| May-12-10 | | hms123: <SufferingBruin: <TrueBlue> I disagree entirely. You can find plenty of objective comments on this or any other board.
For example: it's an objective fact that Danailov does not breathe oxygen but sulfur. No one disputes that he is humanoid but there is plenty of disagreement as to whether he is, in fact, a carbon-based life form (I say no). While it is an open debate as to whether Topalov performed a ritual animal sacrifice with a cow or a goat, there is but no question that in order to secure Danailov's support, the blood of some mammal was needed. So please don't mistake those of us who are cheering on Anand as having a man-crush on Anand. It's just that, in looking at the evidence objectively, what else were we to do?> Topalov vs Anand, 2010 |

| May-24-10 | | whiteshark: <tamar> on Friedrich Samisch: <thegoodanarchist: He was married once. But after a long time away, he arrived home to find an invitation to lecture on chess. His suitcase was still packed, so he took off for the trip. When he returned home months later (!) he found that he was no longer married.> The note said: "Friedrich, I felt a compulsion to move." |
