moronovich Member since Sep-13-07 Elo 2316 . "Play the board AND the man ! ". But mostly the board. Was born in Elsinore,Denmark,1953.And I am still proud of it.As I hope everyone is proud of hers/his startingpoint. In many aspects life and chess do mirror each other IM experience.As science and belief goes hand in hand.So many "rules of thumbs" and many "exceptions" from the rule. I do agree with Bent Larsen who once said that someone who cannot contain a paradoxe is not using the full capacity of his brain.Actually I am convinced that there are no parodoxes,but perspectives which are more bright or flexible than others... Though some obviously are borned under more easygoing circumstances than others,I will second our esteemed fellowkibitzer <zarg> who underlines that "luck" is also somehing that we create ourselves. Ourselves,but also together IM experience. I try to live my life as if Jesus or Buddha knocked on the door , I would wellcome them as friends . And if they didn´t show up, it would be fine anyway.

Apr-14-26 Giri vs Sindarov, 2026    moronovich: Draw agreed ! Huge congrats to our new challenger !      Apr-11-26 Caruana vs Sindarov, 2026    moronovich: And a draw agreed.Sindarov around 99% for winning it all.      Apr-08-26 Caruana vs Giri, 2026    moronovich: And now Caru has resigned. Which leaves Giri as the only guy as a threat to Sindarov.      Apr-05-26 World Championship Candidates (2026)    moronovich: <Its almost as if someone set up the position in such a way that Qe8 would prevent white's long castle because everything goes wrong for him in that case..> If one of the players play freestyle and the other something ells.........      Apr-05-26 Sindarov vs Giri, 2026    moronovich: But basicly a fine day at the office for Sindarov One game closer to the finnish line and Caru not closing in on him.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 12 OF 120 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-11-12    SwitchingQuylthulg: When you're standing on the edge of a precipice, be sure you have a tight hold of your opponent's arm :-) Mar-11-12    moronovich: <SwitchingQuylthulg: The difference is that <moronovich> would sweep IM Mortensen off the board :-)> Well,well,well .. + thanks for your confidence.But the only time we met I made the blunder of playing 1.e4(I allways played 1.d4 or c4or Nf3 or g3) and duly lost but got an eternal lesson about a knightoutpost on f4. Kasparov was(is) absolutely right about this issue. Mar-11-12    moronovich: Musictip of the day : I just revisited "Changing of the Guards" (B.Dylan) performed by Patti Smith.A very good song. Mar-11-12    brankat: <moronovich> After <1.e4> how does Black Knight get to <f4>? Nf6-->Nh5-->Nf4? Or Nf6-->later Nd5(exchanged pawns on <d5>?)-->Nf4? Petrov? Ruy Lopez? Or, perhaps, the Alekhine. Maybe G.Breyer was right about <1.e4> after which White's game is over :-) Could the solution be <1.e3>? That should take care of <f4> square :-) Mar-11-12    SwitchingQuylthulg: As <Domdaniel> said, the problem with that is <1...g6> :-) Mar-11-12    moronovich: <brankat> Night on f4 usually arrives from h5,g6,e6,d5 as you mentioned too.d3,h3 are also entrysquares. I actually studied 1.e3 a lot and it is much better than its reputation.Sometimes leading to known territory with white a tempo up. And is is important not to underestimate an opponent who underestimates your handling of the opening ;) I hope I got the last one right :) Mar-11-12    SwitchingQuylthulg: <moronovich: <brankat> Night on f4 usually arrives from h5,g6,e6,d5 as you mentioned too.d3,h3 are also entrysquares.> Also, more rarely, e2 and g2 :) Mar-11-12    moronovich: <SwitchingQuylthulg: As <Domdaniel> said, the problem with that is <1...g6> :-)> You are (unfortunately;)right. But transposing to a reversed hedgehog or dutch a tempo up should not be bad..but black can gor for a setup with d6(in dutch reversed) and then it all may be in vain. But there was 2-3 years ago this benoni Moro played with e3 !? The aforementioned Miles asked me about the strongest first move and I said 1.g3 (1993) and his choice was 1.d4. Chesswise he was a clever guy. Brilliant may be a better word. Mar-11-12    moronovich: <SwitchingQuylthulg: <moronovich: <brankat> Night on f4 usually arrives from h5,g6,e6,d5 as you mentioned too.d3,h3 are also entrysquares.> Also, more rarely, e2 and g2 :)> Nothing escapes your eyes ;) But I once was in a horrible timescramble and suddenly my horse went from h5 to f2 check ! When the willpower surpasses reality:) Mar-11-12    moronovich: <But there was 2-3 years ago this benoni Moro played with e3 !?> The real Moro it was.His opponent was V.Kramnik. Mar-11-12    brankat: After <1.e3> one can always follow up with <d4>, <c4> etc. Essentially, more or less anything goes. Which is good. Otherwise Chess would have exhausted itself already. As Dr.Tartakower remarked: if a line (variation) is dubious, it is playable :-) Mar-11-12    moronovich: <brankat: After <1.e3> one can always follow up with <d4>, <c4> etc. Essentially, more or less anything goes. Which is good. Otherwise Chess would have exhausted itself already. As Dr.Tartakower remarked: if a line (variation) is dubious, it is playable :-)> Shure. To my recollection:There are 9 million(!) different positions after each have made 3 moves. Mar-11-12    brankat: Apparently, someone calculated that there is more possible positions (potentially) on a chessboard, than atoms in the Universe! Mar-11-12    brankat: It may have been <Switch> ;-) Mar-11-12    SwitchingQuylthulg: <brankat: Apparently, someone calculated that there is more possible positions (potentially) on a chessboard, than atoms in the Universe!> Not true... the number of possible games should be much higher than the number of atoms, though :) Mar-11-12    brankat: So, it was <Switch>! Mar-11-12    moronovich: <brankat: Apparently, someone calculated that there is more possible positions (potentially) on a chessboard, than atoms in the Universe!> I have heard the same several times. And when <Switch> says so it must be true ;) But how do they calculate this ??? Mar-11-12    SwitchingQuylthulg: If I deny something, it must be true? Surely that can't be right! ;-) Mar-11-12    brankat: Just like: Yes, it's not true. Or, no, it's true. That's the way chess players think. In conclusion, when something is true, deny it :-) Mar-11-12    SwitchingQuylthulg: What if I deny it on the Odd Lie page? :-) Mar-11-12    brankat: No one will believe You. Mar-11-12    SwitchingQuylthulg: I'm not the greatest genius in the history of mankind! Mar-11-12    moronovich: No,you are not ): Mar-11-12    brankat: On occasion, a denial is not necessary :-) Mar-11-12    brankat: Yes, You are not :-) Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 120) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 12 OF 120 ·  Later Kibitzing>
