Dec-13-14 D Byrne vs Fischer, 1956    nowo: <Rookfile> <Sharpnova> I agree with Rookfile. Easy for us to play "Monday morning quarterback" and second guess other's moves. However, we seem to forget things like pressure, nerves, stress, fatigue, etc. Playing OTB is completely different than analyzing and criticizing ...      Mar-29-13 Carlsen vs Ivanchuk, 2013    nowo: Tomorrow is a rest day...      Mar-20-13 E Torre vs Karpov, 1984    nowo: < chess61: <Travis> Maybe it is a good idea to quote Kasparov on this issue: “I think that Fischer, after the Karpov-Spassky match, probably lost faith in his ability to beat Karpov. It doesn’t mean that Fischer was inferior to Karpov, but for Fischer, psychological ...      Mar-20-13 Grischuk vs Radjabov, 2013    nowo: as i posted...      Mar-19-13 Carlsen vs Grischuk, 2013    nowo: <haydn20: Yes. No increment until move 40.> Is that reasonably possible???      Mar-17-13 Ivanchuk vs Aronian, 2013    nowo: This is a double round robin tournament - each player plays each other opponent twice...      Jul-11-12 Deep Blue vs Kasparov, 1997    nowo: <Kittysafe> When you wrote <Blue throws the bishop out as bait and Kasparov just takes it? Really? Was he awake for this game?> Bait? Wasn't 17...exf5 the best move in an already lost position? GK got beat - that's all. Even the greatest players lose occasionally - only not      May-15-12 Gelfand vs Anand, 2012    nowo: I LOVE the game of chess!!! However, after being patient through the first four games, I've become EXTREMELY disappointed with this match. Are both GMs just playing too cautiously, or did Bobby had a point when he proclaimed, because of all the opening theory memorization (especially ...      Apr-15-11 Fischer vs S Purevzhav, 1962    nowo: <TheFocus> I believe you are correct. I had figured 22...f6 was black's best reply. I couldn't see from there what was white's best move. 23. fxg6 seems to work best for white with no real defense for black after playing out as you wrote. Thanks!      Apr-12-11 Fischer vs H Seidman, 1956    nowo: <jbtigerwolf: 39...Qf2+ 40.Kf3 Rf1+ 41.Kg4 Qd1+. That's game to Black! Nothing White can do except block for one move with the Rook, then it's checkmate. White has a better alternative than 40.Kf3, being 40.Re2, but it's worth a stab!> I'm confused by what you wrote. 40. Re2 ...
