| Sep-16-15 | | Pulo y Gata: <Sep-15-15 SirRuthless: Or he is just taking the most diplomatic shortcut out of this tournament. Easier to have an "oopsie" in rapids and explain it away as a dumb blunder than in Classical. I think he is tossing the whole thing to Shankland and wants out of town. I guess we will see who is right about that tomorrow.> On Nakamura vs. Shankland at World Cup (2015) |

 | | offramp: Thanks to <Ulhumbrus> for this interesting comment, at Svidler vs Topalov, 2015 (kibitz #1). <Ulhumbrus: After 15 Kh1 we have a Maroczy bind against a Hedgehog formation, an opening formation which has been played for decades.
We may assume that both Topalov and Svidler know of all the resources to both play for and to avoid. Then what will the result be? Tigran Petrosian may have indicated an answer when he says <The methods of positional play grow finer each year. Knowing them it is possible even in a well known opening to make a real fight>> Thanks, in fact to both Ulhumbrus and TP. |

| Sep-24-15 | | TheFocus: From the Kibitzers Cafe's discussion on the poet Blake: <HeMateMe> <Sure, but there is no contradiction between that and her having read Blake when younger and also after gaining recognition as an artist.> <I read Oliver Twist, when I was a kid, but never felt compelled to join an orphanage. I read Solzhenitsyn's books as a teenager, but never felt compelled to go to Russia and become a zek. I read My 60 Memorable Games, but was never compelled to break the law and become a fugitive.> |

| | offramp: I saw this good one at Korchnoi vs Karpov, 1981 (kibitz #22), <Vishy Anand once said to me: I have won about fifteen games against [Kortschnoi], without any losses, and after each one of them he informed me that I have no idea about chess".>
[My Great Predecessors vol.5, p.369] |
|
| Oct-26-15 | | TheFocus: Korchnoi has long believed that he is the only person alive that knows how to play chess. He has said to other players that they don't know how to play chess. |

| Oct-29-15 | | shivasuri4: <BOSTER: I don't think that it is fair to get 1/2 point for game So vs Anand which lasted only 32 moves , and the same for the game Liren vs Giri which lasted 172 moves. My oponion , because this is a big difference , maybe 1/2x4 for 172 moves game will be OK.> Bilbao Masters (2015) |

| | offramp: Part of a funny post at A Giri vs Svidler, 2015 (kibitz #2) <latvalatvian: Just to give a brief summary of these players approach to chess: First, they go to Kibitzer's Corner and read all the commentary about them, paying close attention to the criticism. Then they write a short essay defending themselves against this criticism...> |

| | offramp: <moronovich: <offramp: Carlsen's king always seem a bit stronger than other kings.>
This is good humour,with an eternal twist of thruth. > Thanks, moronovich! I meant <seems>, not seem, of course. My previous entry, a quote about a vanishing chess player, comes up as <404 FILE NOT FOUND>. The correct link is Albin Planinc (kibitz #145) and begins thus:
<The entry for GM Albin Planinc on the Chess Network Company's website features a photograph purported as depicting Mr. P. playing Black at a chess tournament against an undepicted opponent in Athens in 1993. (This photograph has been reproduced with the same attribution on at least one other website.) Here's the link:http://www.chessnc.com/biography/pe....
The digital image bears no identifying metadata.
Note the flags. It appears the player in this photograph has been allotted the Yugoslavian flag, and his undepicted opponent playing White has been allotted the Bulgarian flag. (Greek flags do proliferate beside other tables.) My understanding, which is primitive, is that the Yugoslavian flag ceased to be flown or displayed officially after 1992. I don't believe the flag shown here beside the depicted player ever to have been the Slovenian flag, but of course I may be wrong in this regard. However, perhaps the tournament organizers were simply allotting the flags they had on hand....> There is more, and it is followed by an interesting discussion. Well worth seeing! |

| | offramp: <morfishine: Perhaps the bio of Anish Giri needs to be updated to reflect he's married to WGM Sopiko Guramishvili.
An oddity and curious contrast is that Giri's massive bio fails to mention his marriage, yet Guramishvili's bio is scant and noted for its extreme paucity in that the only item mentioned is her marriage to Giri! lol> LOL indeed! Great comment. It's just superb! |
