Jul-17-03 Reshevsky vs Fischer, 1956
| |
| drunknight II: it seems that except for the passed a pawn the position is balanced. if everything else came off the board, white would win because the a pawn cant be stop. (and the K is too far away) therefore, blocking the a pawn makes sense, but crafty finds a way to fork the R. I wonder ... |

Jul-17-03 Queen's Gambit Declined (D35)
| |
| drunknight II: I think the statistics for this opening show a shockingly high number of wins for white and losses for black. |

Jul-17-03 Alexander Alekhine
| |
| drunknight II: Alekhine had more than just chess in his life. There was drinking and there were women. Between the three of them this took up most of his life. It is hard to imagine that he had more space in there to cram in with aryan superiority, racism, Hitler worship, etc. Have you ever ... |

| |
| drunknight II: I know, oftentimes I feel that I will run out of space when I play it. SOme of the best games ever played black loses and it's like he's in a traffic jam. Well the French is like that too, but no one complains about that. Nooooo. |

Jul-17-03 Kramnik vs Kasparov, 2001
| |
| drunknight II: well I see your pt but I dont think the game was lost on move 9. the game appears to be quite even for most of the game except for one positional problem. There is going to be a passed pawn on the k side. If the game was reduced to Rook and pawns, normally this pawn would not ... |

Jul-17-03 Alekhine vs Euwe, 1921
| |
| drunknight II: Well okay but...whenever we say "with hindsight" it oftentimes means that we dont want to really look hard at the moves that follow and we want to take the easy way out. I mean really, okay 4...BxN but is that really where Euwe loses the game? If that is the case, then I think |

Jul-17-03 Korchnoi vs Karpov, 1974
| |
| drunknight II: Tromposky attack! This one is weird and wonderful. One of only two really good games from the first (1974) match between these two heavy weights. The winner of this candidates final was to play Fischer for the world championship. The weirdness starts w/ 11...b4 which leads to ... |
