   Mar-23-11 20th Amber Tournament (Blindfold) (2011) (replies)
 
rifraf: I don't understand the recap on the main site - isn't there still one more round?

rifraf: <turbo231> Computers can't transcribe freely spoken english to more than around 80% accuracy, I believe. The problem is words such as coarse and course, which have the same pronunciation, but completely different meanings. The issue of finding context is actually quite ...
 
   Nov-01-10 Nanjing Pearl Spring Tournament (2010) (replies)
 
rifraf: There needs to be a special forum for these discussions, so that tournament forums might cease to be subverted. Player pages are OK, but maybe CG.com could have a daily 'topic', such as 'Kasparov vs. Anand', that could get its own forum. This might divert some of our need to argue ...

rifraf: Carlsen seems to be in trouble here. Without the help of a computer, it seems like 19. ...g6 might have been better. But then, the position seems very sharp, and I'm not that good at chess :)

rifraf: <chessic eric> they notified the tournament officials of their intentions so that they can sleep in tomorrow!

rifraf: Can black maneuver his kings rook the the magic h4 square?...would be very well placed
 
   Oct-08-05 Morozevich vs Leko, 2005 (replies)
 
rifraf: Can anyone tell me why not 34. ...Qxg4? Seems like a good endgame for black.
