Nov-25-08 Kramnik vs C Pereira dos Santos, 1990
| |
| skiskichess5: Is it not white's pawn majority on the Q side that was the basis of Kramnik's plan at least as soon as he moved his K towards the centre on move 22? |

Oct-28-08 Vladimir Afromeev
| |
| skiskichess5: <eremite> A link to photos with Afromeev were posted some time ago by <Stanleys>. Now the link goes to Belgorod State University so I'm not sure what happened. My recollection is that Afromeev was a little chubby but looked a friendly and jovial character. ... hope ... |

Jul-23-08 The World vs G Timmerman, 2007
| |
| skiskichess5: Perhaps GM van Timmerman has a private bet that he can last (ie not be checkmated) for a specified number of moves. This could explain why he has not resigned. |
