| Jul-05-08 | | hoodrobin: Hey <jess>! Nice nieces and nephews. About my conversation with myself: I wasn't able to persuade our friend <hms123> to have a same-subject conversation on one forum. It looks as if you watch a tennis game - one side only. OTOH owls have independent eyes, I believe. Look at my forum too (glad if you drop anyway).
I wish you fly high in chess world and everywhere you want, you deserve it. Hoot hooooot! |

Happy <METAMUCIL> week!! (in honor of Peter "I'm the most boring human being in history and I'm dedicated to destroying chess as a spectator sport once and for all" Leko). ROME: 44 BC--
Caesar parades the vanquished Vercingetorix through the streets of Rome and wonders how he is going to repay his student loans. Luckily, his friends help out... |

| Jul-05-08 | | hoodrobin: <jessicafischerqueen> Is a typing phone sort of a typhoon? Anyway thanks for dropping by: my house is a bit more furnished now. You know, we guys are not really good at fashion things. An owlgirl is much better, usually, and an owlqueen is very well adorned, as your house, being so fashionable, demonstrates. I'd call it a true salon. |

| Jul-06-08 | | notyetagm: Anand vs P Nikolic, 1997 White to play after 26 ... ♘e7-d5?: 
click for larger viewBlack last move, 26 ... ♘e5-d7?, has practically <TRAPPED> the Black e4-queen in midboard by cutting off her retreat along the a8-e4 diagonal. The ever tactically alert Anand (White) sees that he can <TRAP> the Black e4-queen if he can get in the move ♖b1-b4. Currently the b4-square is <DEFENDED> by the Black d5-knight. So Anand strikes with 27 ♖c7x♗d7!,
click for larger viewthe nasty tactical point being that after 27 ... ♔e8x♖d7 the Black d5-knight is now <COMPLETELY PINNED> to the Black d7-king and can no longer <DEFEND> the b4-trapping square to keep the White b1-rook out. That is, due to the <PIN> along the d-file, Anand can now play 28 ♖b1-b4!, <TRAPPING> the Black e4-queen. Position after 27 ... ♔e8x♖d7 28 ♖b1-b4! <pin>
click for larger view<dramas79: <sheaf> if you are referring to 28...Qxb4, there is no better alternative. If 28.. Qf5, then 29.g4 traps the queen.>> Yes, the fine point of Anand's strong tactical play is that after 28 ♖b1-b4! the Black e4-queen has only one <FLIGHT SQUARE>, the f5-square, but then the simple 29 g2-g4 (supported by the White b4-rook) rounds up Her Majesty. (VAR) Position after 28 ... ♕e4-f5 29 g2-g4 <trapped>
click for larger viewOutstanding tactical play by the super-tactician Anand. |

It's a beautiful, beautiful tactic.

<jessicafischerqueen: (in honor of Peter "I'm the most boring human being in history and I'm dedicated to destroying chess as a spectator sport once and for all" Leko)....> I, for one, wish to see Peter Leko invited to every big chess tournament. That is, as long as Chessbase continues to show pictures of his very attractive wife. (yes, I know I'm a pig. But I have learned to accept it.) |

| Jul-07-08 | | achieve: Jul-07-08 copied from <brankat>'s chessforum: <<brankat: "One of the biggest misconceptions about chess is it requires a lot of memorization. In reality, while some memorization is required, pattern recognition plays a crucial part in chess mastery."-- Susan Polgar >
Many others have stated the same. Based on my own (somewhat limited) experience, I agree.> And hereby confirmed that we have high esteem of Branko's approach to Chess, as a HUMAN sport. |

| Jul-07-08 | | achieve: <Jess> And this 'fiver' from <brankat> on the Reti page also puts things in the right perspective -- starting here: Richard Reti Idealism, realism- and pragmatism.
A Trinitism? Or Lasker's Law?

Here's a quote by my hero, Dr Max Euwe. He knew.
"Lasker understood better than anyone that the true nature of the struggle in chess was not an objective search for the truth, but a psychological battle against both oneself and the opponent, in conditions of extreme uncertainty." – Max Euwe
