May-19-13 Lothar M Schmid    lost in space: Sad news. RIP GM Schmid. I had the honor to play a game against you in the 1980ties (simul)...and lost. Will never forget it.      May-19-13 lost in space chessforum   lost in space: There are only two kinds of moves in the opening, moves which are wrong and moves which could be wrong. --- Tartakower      May-19-13 Yifan Hou vs Lahno, 2012    lost in space: Well, I saw the first few moves but haven't been able to see, if this is a win or a draw. My thought was that most probably Black would have a perp...      May-18-13 Aronian vs Carlsen, 2013   lost in space: Correct. An other method is 8. c5 c6 9. b4 a5 and so on. A matter of taste. Allowing black dxc4, c5 cxd4 b5 with tempo (Bc4) means mostly that Black is = or close to =. I think also 10. dxc5 Nxc5 11. 0-0 b5 12. Be2 Bb7 13. Rfd1 was a bit better than the text; still this ...      May-15-13 Svidler vs Karjakin, 2013    lost in space: hunderttausend heulende Höllenhunde      May-14-13 J L Hammer vs Wang Hao, 2013    lost in space: The HAMMER is COMING DOWN, DOWN DOWN, down to the ground (Motörhead)      May-14-13 Carlsen vs Radjabov, 2013    lost in space: oh Lord, it seems Radi lost an other drawish endgame to Mig Mag. What a pitty      May-14-13 Anand vs Karjakin, 2013    lost in space: Wel, well, well, after 42...Kc8 it is getting worse for Black - according to houndini on the officail site. From a human perspective I fully understand the decision to run with the king on a safe place. And what could be safer than the c-file (c8) in this position?      May-14-13 Nezhmetdinov vs Tal, 1957    lost in space: <Given the complexities of chess, my best guess is that a queenside fianchetto is ok when it either contributes to black's control over the e4 square, launches towards a kingside attack, or allows black to exchange off this bishop. If you can't say any of those things, then      May-14-13 T Hickendorff vs R Van Bokhorst, 2005    lost in space: Nice and easy 25...Ra1+ 26. Kxa1 Nc3+ (already nearly mate) 27. Qa(456) RxQ#

Das Gleiche natürlich auch für dich und deine Familie. Schade, dass ich dir die Antwort auf deine Grüße hier geben muss, da ja dein Forum geschlossen ist. Möge dein Level an dauerhaftem Stress, Bewegungsmangel, falschem Essen, Genuss/Verzehr an legalen/illegalen Drogen, dein persönlicher Fahrstill und auch die Dosis der Radioaktivität immer unterhalb der Gafahrengrenze bleiben. Dann steht einem gesunden 2013 hoffentlich nichts im Wege! ;-) Jan-04-13    kutztown46: Happy New Year! Sorry for being late. Jan-05-13    lost in space: <<The greatest compliment one can pay a master is to compare him with Capablanca.> --- Chernev> True in the past. Later it was Fischer and afterwards Kaparov, in the future it will be Carlsen Jan-12-13    lost in space: <<I'm not afraid of Spassky. The world knows I'm the best. You don't need a match to prove it. > --- Fischer> Everting I hate in 3 sentences. Arrogant, egocentric, egomaniac, hybris. But he was right - at least after the match with Spassky Jan-30-13    lost in space: <<It's true. Capa, son of Caissa, was more interested, always, in cavorting with women than in playing chess. In a tournament held in London, before losing the championship, he was invited with Alekhine, who then was posing with his best friend, to the music hall with the famous Bluebell Girls (all tall, all blonde, all legs). The whole time that show lasted, Alekhine did not stop studying his pocket chess game, while Capablanca did not stop studying the blondes on stage. --- Guillermo Cabrena Infante> I wish that both continued to study their object of obsession also after his show.
