Mar-14-04  Creator of Time: me kibitz here just to create an outposts so that me know where me stopped
Jul-28-04  chess4games: So white can't stop the pawn from promoting.
Jul-29-04  Benzol: <chess4games> That's correct.
Nov-03-04  morphy234: Kasparov fighting till the bitter end. surprised he didn't resign much earlier
Nov-03-04  poktirity: Anybody understand <Creator of Times>s post?
Nov-03-04  Benzol: I think the general sense of it is that he posted here so that next time he'll know if he's already been here.

Can anybody make sense of <Benzol>'s post. LOL.

Dec-23-04  stuck: My guess is that <Creator of Time> was studying Kasparov's games in chronological order, maybe had a little too much to drink, realized his inebriated state, and wanted a marker so he would know where to return upon gaining sobriety.
Mar-26-05  kilo: new why is there never a check mate ?
Mar-26-05  beachbum: Because it hurts too much.
Aug-28-05  gomickeylol: Rxh7! pretty!
Aug-28-05  Jim Bartle: I assume you mean Rxh2, right?
Jan-27-06  goragoragora: As far as I remember, Garry lost
twice with this line by persisting
with 12 Be2?

  keypusher: Is 12 Be2 a mistake, <goragoragora>?
Feb-16-06  goragoragora: It's too lame. I forget what book
both games were featured in. I had
to throw many of my books out.
Dec-17-07  PAWNTOEFOUR: smmfh@<creator of time>........well ain't that the funniest thing!...hahahaha
Dec-17-07  whiteshark: My Brid is awlyas raendig <PAWNTOEFFFOUR>.
Jun-12-08  ravel5184: <notyetagm> hasn't commented on 24 ... Rxh2+ ! Alert the press!
Jun-12-08  computer chess guy: Looks like Kasparov was ok until 22. ♗b5+. Shredder scores 22. g4 ♖xg4 23. ♕xd4 ♖h4 24. ♕f2 as even. Another possible line is 23. .. ♘xe2 24. ♕xg4 25. hxg4 ♘xc1 26. ♖xc1 = .
Nov-28-13  MrJafari: It's scarce to see Kasparov fails his queen and looses!
May-01-15  machak: this was just after <Creator of Time> discovered what kibitz means...

Romanishin vs Kasparov, 1976

May-25-24  Mfrankpsyd: Worth noting: Kasparov was 12 years old when this game was played and Yurtaev was 16. Yes, both were juniors but four years at that stage of life is huge. Yurtaev was nearly an adult, while Kasparov was still a child. This is not Yurtaev beating the world champion.
May-25-24  mel gibson: I saw the first ply within 15 seconds.
