mrwonkabar: i think 23 ..Rg8 allows black to hang on instead of Rc5. I only heard this while watching on icc. Any thoughts crafty? |

mrwonkabar: More on Anand: I just read <Stavrogin>'s comment on how Kasparov has the mythical thing going on with him. Two things, Kasparov shows weakness (now at least), for example the childish complaints about the Radjabov game getting the brialliancy prize. Even if he was right ... |

Jan-25-04 R Nezhmetdinov vs Tal, 1961 
|
mrwonkabar: It seems as though Super Nez could beat anyone on any given day, his tactical skill was second to none when he brought his A game. Chessgames.com shows that he won 3 out of 4 games against Tal between 1957 and 1961. The question is why didn't he make into the circle of players ... |

Aug-15-03 Kasparov - Ponomariov World Championship Match (2003) 
|
mrwonkabar: I'm gonna agree with PVS here, Kasparov is at the back end of a phonemonal run. And even though noone is in their prime, these could still be exciting times when the championship cycle is resurrected. I think the whole political mess going on over the past few years has affected ... |
