| Posted by hardcorepawn uskidscompute.com 5/31/2003 11:54:18 play online chess |  Subject: Quickest OTB winMessage: Im talking about games against good players. What opening did you use and why do you think they lost. My quickest was against a guy who was rated at around 2100 (otb) and played a lot of congress tournaments. I played the Cochran Gambit (Petroff defence). He resigned after 7 moves. Why did he lose, because he did not stop to think why I had taken his f7 pawn with my knight on the 4th move. He just assumed I was a poor player and carried on as though it was a blunder. After the 7th move he realised his queen was going to be history before the game reached double figures and prompty smashed the board of the table and stormed off. This guy was the strongest player in the tounament and was the first round, he did not play another game |

| Posted by buddie uskidscompute.com 6/01/2003 09:37:04 play online chess | Short Games Message: I recommend "The Quickest Chess Victories of All Time" by Graham Burgess. It has 2000 games which ended in 13 moves or less. Very useful for avoiding (and setting) traps in your favourite opening. Also makes you familiar with recurring winning patterns. Also nice to see top masters making opening blunders :-) |

| Posted by blatman uskidscompute.com 6/02/2003 05:03:20 play online chess | 6 MOVES Message: I was the victim of my own mediocrity recently, losing in 6. 1. e4, c6; 2.Nc3, d5; 3.Nf3, dxe; 4.Nxe4, Nd7; (he's seen me coming now) 5. Qe2?!, Ngf6??; 6.Nd6++. An old one I'm told. It is to me too now. I could see the funny side of it after I'd washed all the pieces off the board by bursting out into tears. Very unseemly for a man of my years. The Great Blatman(even in ignominious defeat) |
Chess news: Kramnik claims Carlsen -- Vladimir Kramnik played what he described as feeling like “his greatest ever game” to defeat Magnus Carlsen in the ninth round of the Corus chess tournament at Wijk aan Zee. The former world chess champion moved into the joint lead with Alexey Shirov and avenged his defeat at Carlsen’s hands at last December’s London Chess Classic. Scores with four to play: 1-2 Shirov, Kramnik 6.5/9; 3-4 Carlsen, Karjakin 5.5; 5-7 Ivanchuk, Dominguez, Nakamura 5; 8-9 Leko, Anand 4.5; 10 Caruana 3.5; 11-13 Tiviakov, Short, Van Wely 3; 14 Smeets 2.5; ... Vladimir Kramnik edges ahead -- Vishy Anand may have taken Vladimir Kramnik’s world title but he did him a favour in tenth round at Corus chess tournament when he broke his run of nine draws and defeated the co-leader Alexey Shirov. It was Shirov’s first defeat and Kramnik’s nervy draw with Vassily Ivanchuk gave him the sole lead on 7/10 with three to play but as well as Shirov he has world number one Magnus Carlsen in hot pursuit. Carlsen defeated Sergey Karjakin in what your correspondent found a mystifying game in which Karjakin, playing white seemed to have the initiative and better placed pieces but was soon worse. So the chess tournament is set up perfectly for ... Vlad Kramnik and Magnus Carlsen go toe-to-toe at Wijk aan Zee -- Corus Wijk aan Zee, the most popular event on the chess calendar, ends tomorrow with ex-champion Vlad Kramnik and the world No1 Magnus Carlsen competing for the lead in the closing rounds. Kramnik won their individual game impressively, but the 19-year-old Norwegian has the easier finish. Carlsen is not yet dominating his chess peers in the style of Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov at their peaks, but he is already the man to beat. The reigning world chess champion Vishy Anand has played an uncharacteristically low-key tournament, drawing his first nine games. Nigel Short, in his strongest event for years, has struggled in some games but missed a clear win against Kramnik. ... | |
