| | jessicafischerqueen: Games Like Petrosian vs Spassky, 1969) 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 c5 4. cxd5 exd5 5. Nf3 Nc6 and White usually proceeds with g3 and Bg2. It was played 5 times by Spassky in the 1969 match |

|
| Feb-27-08 | | Eyal: Actually, The link to the 1969 match should be Petrosian-Spassky World Championship Rematch (1969) - the Tarrasch was played by Spassky in games 2, 4, 12, 16 and 18. http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... - Some Fischer footage from 1958 <I've Got a Secret>, but you've probably seen it already. |
|
| Feb-27-08 | | Eyal: Yet another wonder of Google's automatic English translations (posted at Carlsen's page) - from a recent interview with Kasparov, where he talks about Carlsen (http://translate.google.com/transla... - original version at http://newtimes.ru/magazine/issue_5...): <And in their age group, those born after 1985, I think most promising Carlsen. And interestingly, that he has made progress even without massive preparations. In Wijk aan Zee he played without a coach. Of course, the role of the coach is already somewhat different than 20 years ago. But still someone player usually helps analyze errors, prepare for the party. Carlsen arrived at the same tournament with Pope and sister. All successes - thanks to a huge talent and natural extracts.> Two points of special interest:
- A coach should help you prepare for parties!
- The Pope is on Carlsen's team!! (Well, his opening knowledge might be a bit shaky at his age, but he's probably still among the best at controlling the bishops) |

| | jessicafischerqueen: Heh- thanks <Eyal>--- what a wonderful clip.... <google.com mistranslations>... Wheee!
I'm digging through YouTube now finding <Fischer Stuff> to put in my profile... |
|
| Feb-27-08 | | achieve: <Jess> What the heck happened! Did you slow down?
While I was elsewhere <Ziggurat> posted at the Center. He must be an expert if you ask me... He knows the early c5 variation. I rented 'The Kingdom' with Jamie Foxx -- Stardust was OK Btw... sort of a fairytale movie -- well worth to watch on a free evening. |
|
| Feb-27-08 | | achieve: PS.
That previous post was of course tongue-in-cheek....
I hope you can rest up a bit and play a good game with the Black pieces tomorrow! I will look at the Spassky-Petrosian game later today. |

| Feb-27-08 | | positionalgenius: <Jess> Consul game was a separate idea. Rapid match will start tomarrow at 11 PM Central USA time- at new yahoo chess room Weasel way. Where do you live again? |

Feb-28-08
| | jessicafischerqueen: The Tarrasch Defense is a chess opening characterized by the opening moves 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c5, although White often plays 3.Nf3 on his third move instead, following up with Nc3 soon afterwards. The Tarrasch is a variation of the Queen's Gambit Declined. With his third move, Black makes an aggressive bid for central space. After White plays cxd5 and eventually dxc5, Black will often be left with an isolated pawn on the d-file. Such a pawn may be weak since it is undefended by other pawns, but it also grants Black a foothold in the centre. The opening is named after and was advocated by the German master Siegbert Tarrasch who enjoyed the mobility that Black received, even at the cost of suffering the isolated pawn. Although many other masters rejected the Tarrasch Defense because of the pawn weakness, Tarrasch continued to play this opening and rejected other variations of the Queen's Gambit, even to the point of putting question marks on routine moves in all variations except the Tarrasch (which he awarded an exclamation mark) in his book Die moderne Schachpartie. The Tarrasch is considered sound. Even if Black fails to make use of his mobility and winds up in an endgame with his isolated pawn, he may still be able to hold a draw if he defends accurately. <Here's an interesting variation in which Black is not forced to accept an isolani-- and Black has an intriguting Queenside pawn structure, to say the least>: Kasparov vs G Agzamov, 1981 |
|
Feb-28-08
| | jessicafischerqueen: See <Ziggurat> profile-- <GM Agzamov> was young and playing RED HOT CHESS in 1981-- and died in a freak swimming accident right at the height of his potential. In Kasparov vs G Agzamov, 1981 he holds the <super ferocious> future World Champion to a draw, in a <Zonal Tournament> that saw <Kasparov> manhandling the very best that the <Soviet Union> had to offer-- Interestingly, this was also a big year for <GM Beliavsky>, who also dominated this particular <Zonal> and ended up facing <Kasparov> in the <Candidate's Finals Match>. So 1981-- and all these <young lions> queued up to take a crack at <Karpov>... I wonder if <Karpov> was nervous about this? Remember, his "health" failed him in the <WC match> at the end of this cycle-- And although he said he wanted to finish the match, its' hard to believe he wasn't somewhat relieved that it was canceled. Ushering in the age of the <two headed monster> in chess history when <K + K> equalled a "league apart", and when <Kasparov> kept winning the Matches by the <slimmest possible of margins>. what was that <extra> "thing" <Kasparov> had? The total difference between him and <Karpov> in all the subsequent <WC Matches> is only a scant few games... The plus/minus score is virtually equal.
Fascinating... was it "psychological"?
Difficult to make a case that <Kasparov> was simply a stronger player-- the scores perhaps too close to make such a judgment, even if true. Opinions? |
|
| Feb-28-08 | | positionalgenius: <Jess> Karpov completely outclassed kasparov in 1984 |
