Jamespawn has kibitzed 206 times to chessgames   [more...]

Sep-14-05 Bobby Fischer    Jamespawn: lamont: The quote of the day for Sept. 13th was a quote by Fisher that said " Just because someone was the World Champion for a long time does not mean they were a good player". This is my paraphrase , but its pretty close. Benzol says this quote is about Lasker which is hard to ...      Sep-10-05 Aron Nimzowitsch    Jamespawn: I guess Nimzo couldn`t raise the money and therefore could not get a match with Capa , but what about Alekhine? Didn`t he play people for less than the $10,000 he required of Capa?      Sep-09-05 Reshevsky vs Korchnoi, 1970    Jamespawn: Tell us what you said ughaibu. Only don`t use the B word this time.      Sep-06-05 Samuel Reshevsky    Jamespawn: Can you send some of his games in chanco?      Sep-05-05 Duncan Suttles    Jamespawn: I really admire Duncan Suttles for having the ability to sit at a chessboard and work out openings that work at the highest level. What must it be like to be that good? To me getting from 1500 to 2000 seems impossible, much less 2500. Very admirable indeed.      Aug-28-05 Hans Berliner    Jamespawn: who: I think you`re right. I always thought postal chess was more positional than tactical and was surprised that Silman thinks otherwise. I don`t know if a postal champion could have beaten Kasparov for example , but they could probably beat Silman. No disrespect intended toward ...      Aug-20-05 Susan Polgar    Jamespawn: csmath, Don`t be too hard on Conservatives. The greatest statesman in history, Winston Churchill, was one, and he said once " Anyone who is not a Liberal when he`s 20 has no heart, and anyone who is not a Conservative when he`s 40 has no brain." Churchill also liked chess I ...      Aug-18-05 Chessgames - Odd Lie    Jamespawn: tpstar...You know all the songs.      Aug-18-05 FIDE World Championship Tournament (2005)    Jamespawn: I thought when Kasim won the championship in Tripoli he was considered the champion. Why then are they having this match? Is Kasim not really the champion?      Jul-25-05 Wilhelm Steinitz    Jamespawn: Hey Percy, I`ve read that Lasker was sometimes inactive as champion , but who did he avoid? I`m not doubting your word I`m just curious. I`ve heard Rubinstein was one , but were there others?
