| Posted by mattafort uskidscompute.com 5/29/2003 09:30:30 Play online chess | my move Message: how about making 18... Nd4 I think it is an offensive move. It will keep the initiative. 213.100.118.115:7000/mattachess/mattachess.html ——— Asia Games Recognize Chess as a Sport — The idea that chess is a sport seems to be gaining wider acceptance. Studies of chess players during competitions have found that their heart and respiration rates become elevated. Top chess players say they exercise regularly to keep in shape because they feel they cannot play their best otherwise. And there is anecdotal evidence to support them. Five years ago, Vladimir Kramnik, a Russian grandmaster who was then world chess champion, began to falter in tournaments. Doctors diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis, and he began receiving treatments and stopped playing for six months. Once the arthritis was brought under control, Kramnik returned to competition, and his results improved. In 2006, chess was ... |
| Posted by danvan1 uskidscompute.com 5/29/2003 18:09:45 Play online chess | I agree Message: Had a look at the board and agree 18...Nd4 looks good. ——— Larry Evans, the Chess Player — Larry Melvyn Evans, who died Monday at 78, is justly hailed for his role in helping Bobby Fischer win the world chess championship in 1972 and for his productive career as a writer. But he also had a substantial record as a chess player and won the United States Championship five times. He was never the country’s top player. He was overshadowed when he was younger by Samuel Reshevsky (against whom he had a large negative score), then by Bobby Fischer and finally by a whole new generation, led by Yasser Seirawan and Larry Christiansen. Dr. Anthony Saidy, an international master who knew Evans well, said that growing up in the United States probably handicapped Evans in terms of his chess ... |
| Posted by verticalchess uskidscompute.com 5/29/2003 20:00:51 Play online chess | My suggestion Message: Nd4 is probably the most sound move but we should also consider activating the dark-squared bishop with Bh6 - pinning the Knight to the Queen and then follow up with a central pawn advance. ——— Aronian Wins World Blitz Chess Championship — Levon Aronian is having a pretty good month. Actually, he’s have a pretty good year. Aronian, an Armenian chess grandmaster, who has recently risen to No. 3 in the world (along the way becoming only the sixth player to crack the 2,800 rating level), won the World Blitz Championship in Moscow on Thursday. The victory followed his tie for first in the Tal Memorial, which ended Sunday, and his recent stellar performances at the European Club Cup, where he scored 4.5 out of 6 points, and the Chess Olympiad in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia, in which he scored 7.5 out of 10. In the blitz championship — where each player started with three minutes and had two seconds added to their time after each ... |

However, in the current position, I think some protection needs to be given to c6 With this in mind, maybe 18... Qc5 Doris ——— Interview With the President of the World Chess Federation, Part 3 — After his recent re-election as president of the World Chess Federation, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov offered to answer questions from readers of The Times about the federation, which is also known by the acronym FIDE (for Fédération Internationale des Échecs), and about his plans for the future of the game. Supporting Chess Development. Question: Some readers say the Committee for Assistance to Chess Developing Countries has done little or nothing to assist some countries or regions where there is little money and few skilled players. Your response? Fortunately they are mistaken. Thanks to the activities of the committee, all developing countries receive financial and technical help on a regular basis. I would note that ... |
| Posted by mattafort uskidscompute.com 5/30/2003 02:18:05 Play online chess | Yes, Qc5 Message: Yes, Qc5 is a very good alternative to Nd4. Maybe even BETTER! I wanted to do Bh6, but c-pawn should be guarded first. This game is played REAL slow. We will have a long time to think. Any other move we can vote for? Brunetti - The Bunch (the rest of us) Actual position: 213.100.118.115:7000/mattachess/mattachess.html ECO is B97, not B20, which I said first. ——— Interview With the President of the World Chess Federation, Part 2 — After his recent re-election as president of the World Chess Federation, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov offered to answer questions from readers of The Times about the federation, which is also known by the acronym FIDE (for Fédération Internationale des Échecs), and about his plans for the future of the game. Question: Title matches and candidates events have been delayed, postponed and moved multiple times in the last few years because of organizational confusion. How do you plan to fix these problems? I must correct you: After we shifted to the match system for the world champion title, it was played in accordance with the approved FIDE schedule. That was the case with the unified matches between ... |
| Posted by atrifix uskidscompute.com 5/30/2003 02:38:38 Play online chess | REAL, REAL slow Message: the last time a move was played, it was almost 9 months ago. |
| Posted by mattafort uskidscompute.com 5/30/2003 02:48:21 Play online chess | HeHe Message: then maybe it is a no-more-game Can someone, who knows brunetti send him a message, and ask him, what is the matter with that game. I sure want to know?!?! mattafort |
| Posted by bodacious_1uk uskidscompute.com 5/30/2003 04:33:25 Play online chess | can only body join in? Message: if so i would agree with Bh6 maybe followed up with Qc5 - to threaten the knight. Bodacius_1uk |
| Posted by mattafort uskidscompute.com 5/30/2003 05:15:51 Play online chess | to turn on the voting Message: the webmaster at that site has not turned on the voting for blacks next move. We may have to email him and brunetti, to get things rolling again. Direct 18.. Bh6 is not possible He only takes pawn on c6 |
| Posted by mattafort uskidscompute.com 5/30/2003 06:54:01 Play online chess | webmaster = sjoroos Message: www16.brinkster.com/noexitdc/chess/start.htm Obviously it is sjoroos who is Webmaster at that site. Read this: gameknot.com/fmsg/chess3/626.shtml If you would like to start the voting option sjoroos we would be very pleased. Maybe brunetti is AFRAID of losing :D :D and has resigned the game ..... In that case, put 0-1 into the notation!!!! |
| Posted by verticalchess uskidscompute.com 5/30/2003 07:50:52 Play online chess | That's a Message: good point about the d6 pawn - I have decided that Qc5 would be necessary first and would help to attack White's Knight after the move Bh6. |
| Posted by mattafort uskidscompute.com 5/30/2003 11:02:25 Play online chess | Qc5 has benefits Message: Qc5 guards d6, making Bh6 or Bg7 possible Qc5 puts Queen more into center. Qc5 give opportunity to make a7-a5 later to guard b4 this will free other pieces for more interesting tasks White will probably next do Bh5+ which destroys black castle. so 18... Qc5 19. Bh5+ can be the moves to come |
| Posted by mercy uskidscompute.com 5/30/2003 21:58:57 Play online chess | Glad you like it Message: Yes, ...Qc5 has benefits. It defends d6 (freeing the Bishop) and c6. I was worried about white playing Bf3. If ...Qc5 is played, I dont think Bf3 is much to worry about anymore. However... I dont think white will play 19.Bh5. I think stronger would be to expect 19.Nd5 Doris |
| Posted by vietnamese_girl_18 uskidscompute.com 5/31/2003 03:20:14 Play online chess | Message: Yes, Qc5 is a good move -- I'd vote for it. However, this game is so old, 8 or more months old, that we have to get in contact with brunetti to remind him of the game and ask if he's willing to resume play. If I remember correctly, the reason the game stagnated was that people gradually posted fewer and fewer ideas about what to do next and eventually there was quite a lag between moves. Good luck in getting it going again! Sarah Tran |
| Posted by mattafort uskidscompute.com 5/31/2003 07:31:48 Play online chess | thanks Message: I have sent a message to sjoroos who is webmaster at that site. He, I hope, will turn on the voting and tell brunetti the game is going again. Is vietnamese_girl_18 "Forever Young"? Doesn't vietnamese women get older than 18? /matta Any other moves than Qc5; Nd4 we can consider? www16.brinkster.com/noexitdc/chess/gkcm_match.htm |
| Posted by mercy uskidscompute.com 5/31/2003 12:10:58 Play online chess | 18... Nd4? Message: Allows 19.Rxb4 Qxa2 20.Qc3 Kd8 (This move HAS to be played! since 21.Rxd4 followed by 22.Qc6 is threatened!) 21.Rxd4 (21.Rb2 may be better) exd 22.Qxd4 I'm not sure how to continue here for Black but lets try 22... Qa5 but then... 23.Kf2! followed by Bf3 and I would assess that white stands better. This final position is tricky to analyse... one is tempted to say that black has a better chance due to his a pawn. In fact, if you remove every piece, I'm willing to say that black does have better chances. However... white still has pieces on the board and I do not see anyway that black could forceably exchange them. Last and least... the pieces that white has on the board... are well placed and better then black's... despite being the exchange up, black has a sorry bishop that will spend its time defending pawns AND... 2 Rooks with nowhere to go. Let's not forget a king stuck in the center. Doris |
| Posted by atrifix uskidscompute.com 6/07/2003 03:16:51 Play online chess | Message: I'd be interested in continuing this match if brunetti ever gets the time and there's enough interest. However, if the match is not resumed, then perhaps brunetti would like to see the old analysis threads (he requested to see them eventually at the beginning of the match). If so, it wouldn't be too hard to dig up the old threads and provide links. |

We hope for the best! ----------------------------------------------- Thanks, mercy for your good analyse of 18... Nd4?! 18... Qc5 is our move, so far. How about moving Ra8?

| Posted by sjoroos uskidscompute.com 6/10/2003 14:46:04 Play online chess | Sorry.. Message: .. for not having ansered your posts earlier, but i've been extremely busy recently. The reason why this game stopped is 2 things: 1. The Voting-function used was ended by the company that hosted it :-( 2. I didn't have the time to keep the site updated. brunetti agreed to continue this later, so if i ask him kindly we can start the game up again. If doing so it will be hosted at my NEW chess-site that i am developing right now and that hopefully is up and running in mostly 1 month :-) The new site will be somthing completely different from the old, and MUCH BETTER in any way ! I will host the GKCM-Bunch-game, puzzles, tutorials, a forum for discussing chess, an internal PM system and MUCH, MUCH more..... (suggestions welcome). So if you just keep your head cool for a couple of weeks it will all be there for everyone to join :-) Best regards, Peter sjoroos |
