 | | Diademas: On the SPICE Cup (2012) page, Susan Polgar has been vigorous in feeding information from the tournament. After two days, and seven draws versus one decisive game, Harvestman posted the following. <Harvestman: <<Susan Polgar> Drawing of lots was done.>We need to rearrange those words.> |

 | | OhioChessFan: On the Fischer page, a discussion of who has the most charisma: <tzar: I agree, Tal was very popular and loved , but Fischer has 1756 pages of commentaries in this post, Tal 101...and Najdorf 9 ...I think that favours my point...> <JimBartle: 1622 of those pages are harrylime saying Fischer is the greatest.> |

 | | FSR: <Mr. Bojangles>, commenting on December 10, 2012 on the London Chess Classic (2012), where 22-year-old Magnus Carlsen has established himself as the highest-rated player ever: <What has Carlsen shown to make him psychologically strong? Truth is he has shown absolutely nothing! Nothing at all!We shall know if he has what it takes when he overcomes the psychological pressures of competing at the highest level to succeed. Winning friendly super tournaments in over-pampered atmosphere with nothing at stake is not where it is at in determining what makes one tick.> |
|
| Dec-11-12 | | Trigonometrist: H Wimmer vs A Caoili, 1998 <bam68:If 29...exd5 then 30.e6 is mate. This is the only move that does not lose the queen, but at the price of losing the king instead. Sacrificing the king just to save the queen usually results in a loss. A chess computer would not choose this move because the opponent's best reply is mate in one and other moves are available that have a longer distance to mate.> |

Kenneth Rogoff<pawn to QB4: ... I get to work with all sorts of strange folk at our hostel. At least four of the people who walked through our doors have gone on to kill other people. Now and then we ask chaps to leave and they leave shouting threats. Just a couple of weeks ago we asked a large bloke to vacate and he was out of there yelling that he was going to come back and beat us all up.> <FSR: Talk about a hostel work environment.> |

| Dec-16-12 | | shivasuri4: <Phony Benoni: <Benzol> What? You mean we'd be expected to PLAY chess? I'd be limited to recording the games and submitting them to the database, then compiling a collection to be made into an Historical Tournament page.> <WannaBe: Not sure if that would Historical, or Hysterical Tournament Page.> At page 575 of the chessgames.com forum, discussing a possible meet of the members. |

 | | TheAlchemist: Of course I missed it at the time, but thanks to a post by User: LoveThatJoker, here it is: <tpstar, Anand-Gelfand World Chess Championship (2012) > ANAND-GELFAND BY KASPAROV
Hey everybody! Remember how great I was, and how I was such a great World Champion for so long, and how I was the best player in the world for so long, and how I always played fighting chess, and how I wrote all those great books? Yeah, I'm great. ANAND-GELFAND BY KRAMNIK
I am still waiting for FIDE to arrange a four-player playoff between Anand, Kasparov, Ponomariov and Kasimdzhanov, then that winner must play Leko, then that loser gets a rematch ... ANAND-GELFAND BY TOPALOV
How you like me now?!
ANAND-GELFAND BY GRISCHUK
Recently I've been reading quite a lot and watching documentaries about the history of the Second World War and the so-called Cold War, after which I've come to the conclusion that, from 1945 onwards, a gigantic anti-Soviet propaganda machine started to operate, which was mainly, of course, American. An awful lot of things were altogether different, and on the whole I'm currently more inclined to evaluate Stalin positively. ANAND-GELFAND BY KIRSAN
Greetings to all of our friends throughout the vast expanses of interstellar space! I hope you are enjoying this special WC match of Anand versus Gelfand here on Earth, and please remember our arrangement that you aliens would not return to Roswell until at least after the tiebreaks are over. Oh, and John Tesh says Hello! ANAND-GELFAND BY JENNIFER SHAHADE
Omigod so like Anand has been like World Champion like forever you know, but then Gelfand like won the World Cup, and then he like won the Candidates event, so now he's like the Challenger, and they go to play this like totally awesome match in Moscow, and they each want the upper hand with all this prematch posturing you know, so Anand is like all up in his face and stuff, and Gelfand is like all up in his face and stuff, but Anand is like get all out of my face and stuff, then Gelfand is like you get all out of my face and stuff, as if. Anyways, one guy called me a beastie, that's like because he was like totally blitzed, so I was like “Bag Your Face” I'm sure! ANAND-GELFAND BY PARIS HILTON
That's hot.
ANAND-GELFAND BY THE OFFICIAL SITE
Over in this corner of the gallery, we find a famous painting by the 19th century Russian Impressionist Helena Handbasket, where the heavy use of contours and textures brilliantly foreshadows the upcoming life-or-death struggle of the proletariat over the bourgeoisie. ANAND-GELFAND BY THE NUDE LADY
Yes, I'm still here.
ANAND-GELFAND BY CARLSEN FANBOYS
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
ANAND-GELFAND BY <LoveThatJoker> The first six games were draws! Then Gelfand won Game 7! Then Anand won Game 8! Then the last four games were draws! Then Anand won the tiebreaks! LTJ
ANAND-GELFAND BY <Ulhumbrus> Anand began the Moscow match under a handicap, even if he was not aware of the handicap himself. In 2010 Anand had to make a forty hour trip by minibus, and he is no longer so young, he happened to be forty years of age. The Bulgarians then opposed Anand's application for a three day adjournment. Anand said himself that he mixed his move order up not just in game one but in game two as well. This suggests that during games one and two at the very least, and to some extent throughout the match Anand was, to some extent, handicapped and not playing at full strength, and that this was caused by the Bulgarians' refusal of a three day postponement. Anand's opponents should be ashamed of themselves, beating up on a handicapped person. |

ANAND-GELFAND BY <okba12>
no kibitzing yet! common give us some light u all kasparovs make it clear pls - give a complete analysis pls!! notable that all classical games won by Gelfand were before 2 decades - last one 93 - or ami wrong? i dont like urs comments - theres nothing resembling good analysis in urs comments so far - just words and cheats - the only reason they gave u this stage is u r beautiful! where r u capablanca? those players of these days r without imagination. those players are very boring in classic games. ANAND-GELFAND BY <diceman> Anand beat Gelfand - in the ghetto.
ANAND-GELFAND BY <Mr. Bojangles> Congratulations to Anand, it was a very tough match for him but he overcame. Well done champ! Congratulations to Gelfy too for putting up a splendid challenge. He has made his mark on chess for sure. Now we await Kramnik's next event where once again he will prove himself to the chess world. And if he underperforms, well, he had nothing to prove. ANAND-GELFAND BY <SteinitzLives> I'm grumpy. Somebody get me a sandwich.
ANAND-GELFAND BY <cormier> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Seven A.M. waking up in the morning> Gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs> Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal> Seeing everything, the time is going> Ticking on and on, everybody's rushing> Gotta get down to the bus stop> Gotta catch my bus, I see my friends> Kickin' in the front seat, sittin' in the back seat> Gotta make my mind up, which seat can I take?> It's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday> Everybody's looking forward to the weekend, weekend> Friday, Friday, gettin' down on Friday> Everybody's looking forward to the weekend> Partyin' partyin' YEAH> Partyin' partyin' YEAH> Fun Fun Fun Fun Looking forward to the weekend> ANAND-GELFAND BY <tolengoy> Anand's victories in World Championship matches have been an affirmation of his supremacy, where he would not be denied his majestic and lofty standing, leaving other pretenders way behind gasping for breath. Anand dismantled the opposition, leaving a track of destruction never before seen, leaving gaping holes of footprints more gigantic than Godzilla and King Kong combined. I will speak as much as I want for it was long so declared by our forefathers - freedom of speech in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations - indeed I also have the fundamental right to violate the Posting Guidelines all I want, like comparing senior members of the group to Hitler and Mussolini, as my only aspiration it to enable CG to make a transition from this dire state to one that would create a bastion of freedom and democracy for all to see. ANAND-GELFAND BY <harrylime> lol Fischer is the best ever lol
ANAND-GELFAND BY <chrisowen> Knowledge management Anand vs Gelfand first game tie in quids for vishy to make his mark or Boris to watch all engage the calm before the storm in d4 f6 could be good.

| Jan-20-13 | | whiteshark: Jan-17-13, <TheFocus> on Robert James Fischer : If they held a Fischer Memorial, they couldn't invite the Russians.
Or the Jews.
Or women.
No one from the USCF could be involved.
Everyone would have to honor Bobby's Sabbath.
The lighting would be excellent.
There would be no cameras.
All the spectators would have to wear gags.
The money/prize funds would be good.
Steak at every meal.
The organizers would go crazy.
All in all, you have the makings for a great Memorial. |
