Dec-12-09 E Post vs Flamberg, 1914    offtherook: <Gilmoy: <Sneaky: a good professional Text-Editor.> GNU Emacs. (OK, it's not merely a text editor. Hehe.)> Vim, you heretic. ;-)      Mar-27-09 Alekhine's Defense, Modern (B04)    offtherook: <refutor> Perhaps it's because I only play against fellow patzers, but I don't really run into the Voronezh variation in practice. From my experience in my own games, the exchange Alekhine is where I score best as black. Anyways, if it were that huge a problem, it's always ...      Feb-22-09 King's Gambit Accepted (C34)    offtherook: <Marmot> Yes, I know the Fischer defense is very solid. I play it against KG myself as black, just to close up the position and annoy gambiteers. As White, I always preferred to play Bc4 before d4, and I didn't generally retreat my knight back to its starting square. To my ...      Feb-22-09 Kibitzer's Café    offtherook: Sergei Rublevky's bio: <he has never been able to string enough consistent results together to raise his rating past the 2700 mark> He's been over 2700 (albeit not by much) for months now. Isn't it time to correct this point in his biography?      Feb-21-09 Topalov - Kamsky Candidates Final (2009)    offtherook: <Kaspablanca: Neither Topalov nor Kamsky cant beat Anand in a match.> It's not out of the question. Topalov is a very strong player, and Kamsky has beaten Anand in at least one match before (although Anand has definitely had more experience since then). Anand certainly has ...      Jan-19-09 Ivanchuk vs Smeets, 2009    offtherook: <notyetagm> In a WC match, there wouldn't be other games going on for him to wander around watching. Fewer distractions.      Jan-17-09 Van Wely vs Dominguez Perez, 2009    offtherook: Was Van Wely giving up and taking the draw, or was he really tired and actually dropped a rook for no reason?      Dec-20-08 Pearl Spring Tournament (2008)    offtherook: Dang, Ivanchuk's getting killed. Shame, he can produce some amazing chess when he's in form.      Dec-17-08 Carlsen vs J L Hammer, 2006    offtherook: Can't touch this.      Dec-11-08 Koltanowski vs R Lean, 1928    offtherook: You <never> bring out the light square bishop like that in the Slav. Recipe for disaster.
