| 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 ——— World Chess Cup Offers an Opening for Players With Ambitions — The top 30 chess players in the world can earn good livings. But it is considerably more difficult for the players ranked just below them. Their appearance fees are lower, and they rarely are invited to the chess tournaments that offer the best prize money. For these players, the World Chess Cup now being held in Khanty Mansiysk, Russia, is a great opportunity. With a field of 128 and prize money totaling $1.6 million — with $120,000 going to the winner — the tournament is giving some second-tier players a chance to compete against the chess elite, and perhaps to join them. The winner also will be seeded into the candidates’ matches for the world chess ... |
| 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!!!! ——— Chess notes — The chess news from Moscow simply inundated the world this month; first as former world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik of Russia demonstrated that he is still a strong contender for that title. He won the Tal Memorial, held in Moscow in early November in a star-studded field of 10 of the world’s highest rated chess grandmasters. Since Kramnik lost his unified world title in 2007 to Viswanathan Anand, there have been questions about what the future held for him but he has certainly reasserted himself this year. Besides capturing the Tal Memorial, he also buttoned up his ninth title in the Dortmund, Germany, chess tournament. In the Tal tourney, Kramnik scored 6 points, heading ... |

Each player had three minutes, plus a bonus of two seconds per move, to complete a game. This time limit has supplanted five minute games as the standard for blitz. Norwegian chess prodigy Magnus Carlsen, who turns 19 Monday, won with a fantastic score of 31-11. That's 28 wins, eight losses and only six draws. World chess champion Viswanathan Anand of India, two weeks shy of age 40, continues to excel at a young man's game. He finished second with 28-14.

| 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 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 |
