Jun-04-05 R Raev vs D Bojkov, 2005 
| |
| Kingdumb: Okay, I can't figure out for the life of me what opening this is. Going through 2 different opening explorers I can't find anything that matches exactly but WannaBe may be as close as you're going to get on this with his guess. |

May-09-05 Ivanchuk vs Kramnik, 1993
| |
| Kingdumb: Well, I guess everyone missed my point. Most likely because I didn't state it clearly enough. I'm not suggesting that we don't try to "calculate" our oppenents next move. Believe me, I do. All I'm saying is tbat we cannot with 100% certainty know that the move we're counting on is ... |

| Kingdumb: Not to change the subject, but here's a perfect example of how materialistic and stupid computer chess engines play. I just played this as black against a decently rated chess engine. [Event "Chess Commander"]

May-04-05 R Berzinsh vs J Pribyl, 2001
| |
| Kingdumb: Good grief, even a crappy player like myself can see that black played a very poor game. How can you let both the K and Q pawns into the 5th and 6th ranks. Black played way too passively and cautiously and ended up boxing himself in. He literally strangled himself to death in this ... |

May-02-05 Nakamura vs Sasikiran, 2005
| |
| Kingdumb: I think maybe we might be missing the point. Unless some chess God came down to Earth and proclaimed that Qh5 was a bad move after e4 e5 and that there was no chance of winning with it and should NEVER be played then it is still a valid move and I don't feel any of us are in ... |

Apr-28-05 Fritz vs Kasparov, 1992
| |
| Kingdumb: I'm surprised some of the stronger players did not see GK's genius in this game. He had this calculated right down to the ending you see in front of you. At this point it is a race that white cannot win and black has an easy victory with a rook and queen up. I have noticed in my ... |

Apr-26-05 A Pacis vs E Torre, 1997
| |
| Kingdumb: I would love to know what white was thinking with move 26. Perhaps he just fell asleep and his hand accidentally pushed his pawn. Any theories to this obvious blunder? |

| |
| Kingdumb: AW who is this furball? I don't see any posts by him here. Was he banned? Did he use naughty language? Or was he just plain stupid? Granted that's not a serious offense. |

| Kingdumb: Why would black resign here? This game is far from lost. Any suggestions? |
