| Posted by mattafort uskidscompute.com 6/01/2003 21:00:03 Play online chess | I have tried it, but .. Message: I have tried to play this, and examined this opening a lot. Black makes e7-e5, which makes d6 a weak spot. Later black plays plays b7-b5, with the threat to make b4, and fork the Knights on a3 and c3. After trying this opening, I have decided NOT to use B33. I am even in some doubt, if black should play e7-e5 in Sicilian. Maybe AFTER a6. I will not play B33 anymore. /matta |
| Posted by chuckventimiglia uskidscompute.com 6/02/2003 08:56:04 Play online chess | Everyone has favorite..... Message: openings for different reasons. For me the Sveshnikov Sicilian B33 is a good solid opening. I like it and play it often. Maybe that's why my stats as Black are 7% points lower than my White % :-/ Chuck ——— Much at stake in world chess match — The world chess championship match, which began Saturday in Sofia, Bulgaria, will determine the chess champion for the next two years. There is a hefty prize fund of 2 million euros (about $2.7 million), of which the winner will receive 60%. But even more is at stake. Viswanathan Anand, chess champion since 2007, is already recognized as a great player and the instigator of India's chess boom. However, he stood in the shadow of Garry Kasparov during his prime years and became chess champion only at age 37. A victory would confirm his status as the leader of the post-Kasparov era and would turn speculation to his inevitable clash with a member of a much younger generation ... |

He now leads the best-of-12 match 2.5 points to 1.5. It was the second win by Anand, both times in games where he had White. As in Game 2, he chose the Catalan, an opening long favored by Vladimir Kramnik, the former world chess champion who won a memorable, and acrimonious match against Topalov in 2006. Though it might be amusing to assume that Anand has chosen the opening for psychological reasons (play the opening of Topalov’s greatest nemesis), it is more than likely that Anand selected ... |
| Posted by tyekanyk uskidscompute.com 6/05/2003 00:02:10 Play online chess | B33 is among the best Message: It is second only to the najdorf ( the mother of all active openings ). Kramnik has played quite a lot of the sveshnikov and with good results, too. I'm just starting to play this defense, if that's the right description of the B33, and with pretty good results. The main idea is that the weakness d5 is copmpensated by the dynamic factors, advantage of space, the Bishop pair etc. It is a fighting opening par excellence. ——— Chess Championship Match Remains Tied After Game 3 Is Drawn — After two decisive games, Game 3 of the World Chess Championship match in Sofia, Bulgaria, ended peacefully Tuesday with a draw. The match score in the best-of-12 match is now 1.5-1.5. Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, the challenger, had White, as in Game 1, and again opened with 1 d4. Viswanathan Anand of India, the chess champion, who had blundered badly in Game 1 after he used the Grunfeld Defense, switched openings in Game 3, opting for the solid Slav Defense. Topalov tried to steer the game toward complicated and unclear positions, which he likes, by offering a pawn sacrifice at a couple of junctures. But Anand avoided any risks, declining Topalov’s offers and ... |
| Posted by mattafort uskidscompute.com 6/05/2003 04:33:36 Play online chess | Maybe I should have another look Message: Maybe I should have another look at this opening. I was interested in it, in the first place, because it black has fairly good score, compared to many other Sicilian variations. As I remember, an important moment is after black has played 8... b5 Here white has quite a number of moves to chose: Nxb5; Bxg5 and some more less aggressive moves /mattafort 213.100.118.115:7000/mattachess/mattachess.html ——— Fide world chess championship: Topalov takes on Anand — The Bulgarian challenger finished the first game in brutal style. After two games, the score in the Anand-Topalov world championship match is even. Bulgarian Topalov won the first, but Anand struck back in the second. As is often the case, the moves off the board play a role too. Anand's flight to Sofia was cancelled due to the ash cloud, so he was forced to make a 40-hour car journey from Frankfurt. He asked for the first game to be postponed by three days, but the organising committee – which includes Topalov's manager and Bulgaria's PM – rejected the request. The match only started after the International Chess Federation insisted on a compromise of one ... |
