| Mar-22-10 | | madlydeeply: was that you talking about Morphy and Harrwitz? I was just reading this lovely book by Neil MacDonald who i am quite fond of as an author...lessee...the book is called THE GIANTS OF POWER PLAY...Morphy lost his first three games with Harrwitz...one "friendly" game and then two match games...Harrwitz was a super solid grinder...but Morphy stepped back and changed his game a bit to deal with Harrwitz and proceeded to knock him on his ass i imagine. ANyhow this is very interesting because it EXPLODES three chess cliches: (A) the 19th century chess was a "romantic" game only with crazy needlebonger attacking alla time (B) Morphy was "Miles Ahead" of his contemporaries (he wasn't miles ahead after a 0-3 start vs. Harrwitz...he had to adjust to and study and prepare for his opposition just like everybody else...except Capa maybe..) (C) Boh i forgot the third so what. Happy days. |

(Black to play)
The game continued <46…f4+ 47.resign> but imagine that White had played on a few moves with <47. Kxf4 c3 48.bxc3>  click for larger viewNow there is a trick. Black needs to play <48.b3!>  click for larger view
rather than <48.bxc3??>-- where the latter allows the WK to catch the pawn. |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: <H> oops sorry!
That's a chess lesson (and a good one) not a puzzle.
Thank you- yes I got that straight off- it's the same theme as the other endgame you posted here a while back. move that passer ahead in the lane where the King can't get him, instead of routinely recapturing. This is a very instructive lesson Howard, because the human finger wants to recapture before the brain can make a proper decision. |

| Mar-23-10 | | Travis Bickle: Sorry Jess I didnt't have a chance to get back to you about your question on bookmarking on Opera. I'm glad you figured it out! ; P On the Opera page you can also add nine of your favorite websites you visit frequently. It seems like opera is the one music that intensifies emotion even in a ganster shootout scene or some other act of violence. I believe Raging Bull used opera in that classic film. Here's an example of what opera can do in film.
