| Posted by macheide uskidscompute.com 6/01/2003 19:09:20 play online chess | bluebabygirl Message: Dear friend, I agree with your selection. I only would like to have had the opportunity to see a real fair matches between Karpov and Kortchnoi. Kortchnoi played with his family practicaly imprisioned by KGB, just to press him. That wasn't fair. I think that things would be different if Kortchnoi could have had his family with him. Karpov's behavior was unethical and repulsive. He could refuse to play under those circumstances. Your friend, macheide |
| Posted by bellepheron uskidscompute.com 6/01/2003 19:14:45 play online chess | Message: To be serious: In the real world, I agree with you BBG Fischer vs Karpov, or (perhaps even better) Fischer vs Kasparov. If I had a time machine: Morphy vs Tal!!!! |

| Posted by myway316 uskidscompute.com 6/02/2003 20:37:36 play online chess | r_lawrence Message: I agree with you that Morphy would have beaten Staunton,even the 1843 version,but I don't think it would have been a blowout. As a matter of fact,I think Morphy would have found it tough going against Staunton's plodding, defensive style. Staunton would have frustrated Morphy,and maybe Paul would get impatient,trying to force matters,which was suicide against Staunton. Howard would have won his fair share of games,tho his age,and rustiness would be the biggest factors in his eventual loss. |
| Posted by peppe_l uskidscompute.com 6/03/2003 02:58:30 play online chess | Yep Message: Indeed Morphy had problems in certain type of positions, namely in closed structures. Also you have a point when you mention the possibility of frustration (it had happened before in times when Morphy had to play relatively good opponents who employed closed openings). Staunton was an excellent positional player and some of his games look surprisingly modern even now, for example many of the ones where he used his trademark English opening. Morphy was superior in open games and tactics and had an advantage of age. Nevertheless Staunton wasnt willing to risk his reputation by playing Morphy, and therefore used every possible excuse to decline all match requests. Eventually Staunton and his plotting was one of the reasons why Morphy sank into depression. Now since I dared to critisize Morphy by claiming he had weaknesses (!) I hope I wont get traditional responses like "BS! Morphy was perfect chess player he would have beaten Staunton 100-0!" :-) |

| Posted by brucehum uskidscompute.com 6/12/2003 17:20:46 play online chess | Tal vs. Bronstein Message: Tal played Bronstein a lot of times... Their results checked from the 4 books with all Tahl's games commented in informatorese (yes, I'm nutty enough to own those 4 + Capablanca's 2) Their results: +8 -4 =17 for Tal. |
| Posted by bluebabygirl uskidscompute.com 6/12/2003 17:55:57 play online chess | brucehum Message: those tal -bronstein games were in tournaments not match . to me a match is totally different animal. too many other factors in tournament chess . match is more suited for determining better player . I personally love both players but i am thinking bronstein would have won considering if both were playing at thier peak. yours BBG |

| Posted by bogg uskidscompute.com 6/16/2003 06:11:45 play online chess | please add Message: Botvinnik - Keres to the list. Many people thought that Botvinnik was the best of his peers but that Keres was without peer. Without the government's interference Botvinnink, one of my favorite players, probably would not have been World Champion. |

KERES OBVIOUSLY PLAYED BETTER THEN AND FOR MANY YEARS WAS THE BETTER PLAYER. I HAVE STATED MANY TIMES THAT ALTHOUGH KERES CHESS CAREER WAS GREAT SO WAS IT SAD - MEANING HIS BEING CHEATED OUT OF THE TITLE BY THE GOVERNMENT. YOURS bbg |

Chess news: Paced by a 19-Year-Old Chess Star, France Revives Its Reputation -- In the 18th and 19th centuries, France was a center, if not the epicenter, of chess. Two of the greatest chess players of the era, Francois-Andre Danican Philidor and Louis-Charles Mahé de La Bourdonnais, were French, and the Café de la Régence in Paris was a gathering place for anyone who liked to play the game, including Benjamin Franklin and Napoleon Bonaparte. But as the game grew in popularity worldwide, France’s place in the chess hierarchy fell. Though the Russian-born Alexander Alekhine, who was the world chess champion from 1927 to 1946, became a French citizen in the 1920s and played for France in the first Chess Olympiads, he did not inspire ... Armenia and Azerbaijan vie for chess supremacy at Russia's expense -- More than 150 nations are affiliated to the global chess body Fide, yet team supremacy on the chess board is currently being fought out by two small Caucasian republics. In the process the pair have humilated their big neighbour Russia, for long the undisputed No1. When Armenia won the 2006 Chess Olympiad, the success was reckoned a surprise one-off. Then its squad retained the crown in 2008, sparking street celebrations in Erevan and the presidential plane home for the winning team. On both occasions the top-seeded Russians failed, as they had behind Ukraine in 2004. These results infuriated politicians and chess grandmasters in Azerbaijan, which has ... Kramnik Surges Ahead at Tal Memorial -- With convincing wins in Rounds 3 and 4, Vladimir Kramnik of Russia, the former world chess champion, has taken the lead of the strong Tal Memorial tournament in Moscow. The current world chess champion, Viswanathan Anand of India, and Levon Aronian of Armenia are tied for second and third, a half point behind. Kramnik has always been known as a solid and very technical chess player who is loathe to take too many chances. But he has played enterprisingly in the memorial. In Round 3, he had Black against Alexander Morozevich of Russia, who is a creative and unpredictable chess player. The opening was a Nimzo-Indian Defense and Kramnik quickly equalized. But ... | |
