| Jul-02-09 | | brankat: Well, she certainly looks like a GM material :-)
Now, why would she want this photo on the Net, that's probably another story. Perhaps the GM even has the answer. |

They've accepted thypoons and cleverly worked around them. Chairman should be safe in China with his dad. By the way, the ChairMom just posted on WS page moments ago (heads up). |

I hope it's not as bad as the last one.
<May-06-09 Maybe I better close the window or something. A potato chip bag just whipped across the room so fast it hurt when it
hit my face.

| Jul-02-09 | | achieve: Hi all - It wasn't my intention to come across as a salivating geezer (well - I was), but the photo of Alena came straight from her player page, and <Whiteshark> has linked several lovely photos of here, WGW A. Motoc, there... But of course Chessbase juiced up one of their Uncover stories with the lovely Alena in bikini at a Turkish bath.... <Jess>
I've had a very good trip to the real MEC - and a neat package was already there waiting for me, only for me to work through and select which parts I wanted to copy, so I have some 30-35 pages in THREE languages, which I all read FLUENTLY btw, of top rate material ready to be explored... What a wonderful group of people working there!! I'm lucky with such a resource, practically in my back yard! Actually, my assessment that the onus resided in the first half of the match, with Timman indeed having reached winning positions in games #5 & 9, only to draw them and lose games 6 and 10, proved to be 100% correct. Going over the material last night and see it all confirmed, with some very nice GM opinions and analyses to back it up, was very nice. I'll try and get an alignment/synthesis going with the material I already posted over the last month, along with the stuff I picked up yesterday... But the scorching heat here in my flat prohibits me to spend too much time, if at all, behind a computer screen. *drops head back in cold bucket of water*

| Jul-02-09 | | pulsar: <achieve> Not that I was complaining. :) |

| Jul-02-09 | | Trigonometrist: That link by <acheive>... (Must orient self...Must resist temptation to click again... Come on you can do it..sine by cos is tan and cos by sine is cot...) *sweat,sweat*
Whew! Hey <acheive>,can I borrow that bucket of cold water?.. Next to a cold shower,trigonometry is the best anaphrodisiac...:) |

| Jul-02-09 | | achieve: <pulsar> <trigo> OK, I owe you guys this - here's where all the goodies came from ;) - Alina Motoc Also a lovely pose by Ivanchuk there, https://www.chessbase.com/eventarti... - but Alina and lovely company definitely steal the show during this 's-p-l-a-s-h' at the European Ind. in Turkey, 2003! (scroll down to about half and below..) Enjoy!
As I said, Dutch GM Erwin L'Ámi executed the "smart play" - he married Alina! |

| | jessicafischerqueen: My dear <Trig>
Yes, having a "cheesecake" forum would bring in a lot of customers. However, party's almost over.
Vacation time means that this forum will soon (again) have chess and chess analysis- period. Enforced by the Grand Piano (me).

This forum isn't a <dump file>. Mrs. About to Get Down to Bidness> HAH! Love that!As I smacked my thigh while I read your posts at <Dom>'s, love the raging energy, and you know what?... NICE is for WHIMPS - you were spot on to overstate and exaggerate as much as possible, coz the voodoo coming from the so called "logic side" is like a freakin eightteen wheel cement truck, and in this particular case there is no possibility to "overstate" or "distort", every kind of "play" is allowed! heh
Abberation, abortion, travesty.... ALL understatements when it comes to large team centaur chess and its SUPPOSED "educational value." Whupass day it is!! |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <Niels> well someone has to blow a gasket every once in a while. Ok check this out-
The pivotal Game 20 from <Karpov- Kasparov 1990>= Kasparov vs Karpov, 1990
Position after <Garry> has just played <18.Rae3>
click for larger viewOk I'm looking at this and thinking- why doesn't <Karpov> just play <18...fxe4>?
Wins a pawn by force and gives Black a connected passed pawn in the center. So if
<18...fxe4
19.Rxe4 Rxe4
20.Nxe4 Nxd5>
We would get this-
click for larger viewOk who's better here, Black or White?
Hmmm I guess in some variations White gets the Black <e-pawn> here soon- Maybe it's not so good for Black. Or maybe White grabs total control of the <e-file> now -- maybe <21.Qe2>? and with both Bishops pointing at the Black king with dark square pawn targets around it-- Maybe White's compensation would be a dynamic attack... WHAT'S YOUR OPINION???
In the game <Karpov> chose to "bide his time", as he was so fond of doing. Play in the actual game continued
<18...Nf6
19.Nh2 Kh8>
click for larger viewMaintaining the tension- maybe <Karpov> thought <Garry> would get too much dynamic piece play in exchange for the pawn-- CLASH OF TITANS. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: I'm just now examining the very fine <Youtube video> annotations of this game from the very strong <Sean G. Godley>: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz9p... |
|
Jul-03-09
| | jessicafischerqueen: <Niels>
Ah so--
I'm through the first half of <Sean's> video annotation of this game (It's a two parter- 20 minutes)- And indeed- <Kasparov> is trying to tempt <Karpov> into winning the center pawn and creating connected passed pawns in the center- in exchange for dynamic piece play in an opened position- This is the first KEY MOMENT of the game.
A few moves later, <Karpov> indeed cannot resist the temptation- creating connected passers in the center, and subjecting his position to what turns out to be a withering attack on the Kingside... |
|
| Jul-03-09 | | achieve: <Jess> I'd have to look deeper, but no way you'd like to open up the lines to the Black King for the Bs like that, as the control over the 6 squares <g&h 5,6,7> looks like suicide... I'll get back to this, coz only concrete lines/refutations can really shed light on this; In that second FEN the squares around the Black king look like LANDING STRIPS for the White pieces... Rooks are ready for lift off as well |
|
Jul-03-09
| | jessicafischerqueen: Heh..
And <Karpov> does in fact go for the bait- The lure of the central passers proved too much for him. |
|
| Jul-03-09 | | Travis Bickle: Hi Ho Jess! I want to see the new flick Public Enemy starring Jonny Depp about John Dillinger the infamous gangster who bought the farm at The Biograph Theatre in Chicago by G-man Melvin Purvis. It looks outstanding by the previews!
P.S. Come see and hear "The King" on my forum. ; P |

| Jul-03-09 | | achieve: <A few moves later, <Karpov> indeed cannot resist the temptation- creating connected passers in the center, and subjecting his position to what turns out to be a withering attack on the Kingside...> JINX Ah - I see... That was exactly what I was thinking.
This was exceedingly complex as both K's admitted in that epic docu of 2h45min by french TV that was made. I studied it a year or so back... Google vid has it and the link is in KingG's profile. |
