Apr-08-09 M Umansky vs The World, 2009    Dick Brain: <WinKing> I don't see how White could make a serious plan for advantage without e4.      Feb-28-09 Linares (2009)    Dick Brain: Carlson-Aronian sure looks drawish. Does anyone forsee serious chances for Aronian?      Jan-25-09 A Nickel vs The World, 2008    Dick Brain: I'd sure like to have White to move in this position if you took all the pieces except for pawns off even though engines might say its a draw. I don't think so.      Nov-24-08 RandomVisitor chessforum    Dick Brain: GMAN hasn't done anything that impressive just yet -- keeping a solid game with White is not that big of a deal. He's probably going to have to weaken his solid pawn structure in order to make progress unless Black is impatient and does so first. I have a hunch he's counting on ...      Nov-10-08 Hikaru Nakamura    Dick Brain: it is definitely statistically true that a 2700 FIDE and a 2700 USCF are not comparable.

On the other hand, around 2200 FIDE and USCF things are very different: there is approximate parity if not a      Oct-01-08 Anand - Kramnik World Championship Match (2008)    Dick Brain: But who in the hearts of most everybody is the true world champion at any given time: the winner of the last world championship match or the world #1 in ratings? It seems to me it's always the #1 these days, especially when there is a significant gap. That's what saps interest ...      Aug-11-08 The World vs G Timmerman, 2007    Dick Brain: Chesscard, he will play one more move and resign on move 63 I predict.      Jul-20-07 acirce chessforum    Dick Brain: FIDE ratings are less than USCF ratings in the professional ranges by 50 to 100 points. That is not true, however, around 2100-2300 where they are at least in parity. One old theory on this is the FIDE point injection due to the olympiad system. 20 years ago, though, USCF rating ...      Jul-16-07 L Monosson vs M Fauque, 1935    Dick Brain: this problem is in every beginner's book on chess combinations!      Jul-15-07 E Prandstetter vs Blatny, 1986    Dick Brain: Anyone who figured this one through several moves in the customary .1s must surely be the second coming of Alexander Alekhine.
