| Jul-15-12 | | notyetagm: Ponomariov vs Caruana, 2012 http://whychess.org/en/node/2238
<Ruslan Ponomariov’s win against Fabiano Caruana was an impressive achievement. The Ukrainian first played a slow closed Sicilian, gradually upping the pressure until his opponent was in deep time trouble. Then he switched key and launched his knight Tal-style towards the black king (30.Ng5!?). That perhaps didn’t seem to threaten anything in particular, until 31.Qxc4!! 
click for larger viewThe exclamation marks aren’t for the objective strength of the move, but it contained a brilliant idea and was a nightmare for Caruana to face with no time for thought. <<<The brilliant idea was: 31…Qxc4 32.Bxc4 Rxc4 33.Ra8+ Bf8 34.Ne6!! fxe6 35.Bh6 and it’s mate!>>> 
click for larger view Caruana went astray with 31…Nxd2? 32.Qxd5 Nxf1 33.Nxf7! when White is threatening all kinds of smothered and back-rank mates. Caruana continued 33…e6 (33…Qc4 is better but still hopeless) 34.Qxe6 Rf8 35.Ne5+ Kh8 36.Kxf1 – and the Italian resigned as he was simply three pawns down. The spoilsport computer points out 31…Qb7! in the diagram position could have avoided all that pain – Black has enough pressure on the queenside pawns to draw – but the move in the game was by no means the trivial blunder you might assume from just glancing at the computer evaluations.> |

Jimmy Two-Teeth is standing on a ledge threatening to jump. Sam and Max muster all the knowledge they gained by skipping sensitivity class. Jimmy: I can't believe I lost.
Max: Maybe it has something to do with the fact that you're a loser. Sam: This isn't like you, Jimmy.
Jimmy: What do ya mean?
Sam: You're not the suicidal type. You don't have the guts or the follow-through. Max: Hey, when you jump, try to hit somebody annoying on the way down. Sam: It's always darkest before the dawn, Jimmy.
Jimmy: What the hell does that mean?
Sam: Ah, you're right. If somebody as dim as you can tell I'm just phoning it in, why bother. Max: Wouldn't you rather die by my hand?
Jimmy: It would be better to be taken out by a friend. You are my friend, aren't you? Max: I wonder what I should use...the luger? the nine iron? Sam: You know your wife is going to give you hell if you kill yourself.
Jimmy: Mary? She left me.
Sam: You're overreacting, Jimmy.
Jimmy: Ya think?
Sam: Sure. She probably didn't love you in the first place. Sam: Max, I don't think this is helping.
Max: I disagree, Sam. I feel much better about myself already. |

 | | LoveThatJoker: <JFQ> Thank you so very much for the invitation! I definitely want to join in immediately and again, if anything I'm glad I assisted with a small contribution via the GM Spraggett link. But it would certainly be just more fun to have that Capablanca book, so as to write on there. :) It's rare to see a woman on <CG> - despite the rarity it is certainly great that you're here - what inspires you to research Chess and how did you get into it in the first place?

| | jessicafischerqueen: <LTJ> I became obsessed with chess from age of 7, when my father taught me. He was a rabid Bobby Fischer fan and he used to tell me stories about Bobby and the Russians all the time. At first, I just liked spending solo time with my Dad, but as time went on I grew to love the game. My Dad is gone now, but my love for chess, and Bobby Fischer, and the history of this game of games has never left me. Regards,
JFQ |

| Jul-18-12 | | morfishine: Dear <Jess> I am glad you liked that song by Enya. Whenever I play 'Fallen Embers', time stops, literally...all concerns, worries, planning, fixations, obsessions, fade to nothingness. Lines or strings through that song send a message, to and from, so one hears the word; but one also finds oneself yearning for the origin of such beautiful sounds |

| | LoveThatJoker: <JFQ> It's awesome how you got into Chess. I'm sorry to hear your dad passed away. Mine did as well when I was in my early twenties. He's actually buried in the same cemetery as Capablanca - El Cemetero Colon in Havana. I'm sure they are good friends already. :)
I hope my following two questions don't faze you, forgive me if they do: 1) How old are you?
2) Are you attached?
If you are single, then you're all that much more cool! :) LTJ |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <LTJ> no worries, I'm "pushing 30" and I'm in a long term relationship with a "messin' round gentleman from Kentucky". Actually he's a fine fellow and he has kindly narrated the last three chess history documentaries I made. <Rashid Nezhmetdinov documentary> http://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... <Rossolimo: Chess Artist>

| | LoveThatJoker: <JFQ> I'm glad to hear that you are in a relationship and that you both work on things that are Chess related. I'm in a relationship myself and sometimes I wish that my lovely gal was into Chess because sometimes she just doesn't understand why I get so passionate about it. But thankfully she accepts me as I am, she just demands 'me' time. So I'm torn between my two gals - Caissa and my gf. :) I just turned 30 recently. Good age to be!
