Dec-22-08 Bent Larsen    tjoffy: The "testament pawn" is the pawn on b2/b7 which in some variations are captured by a queen coming from b6/b3. Most notably this happens in the "poisoned pawn variation" of the sicilian, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poison... . It is often very risky to do this capture, and the story      Nov-24-07 World Cup (2007)    tjoffy: or type: "-35 degrees celsius in degrees fahrenheit" into googles search field.      Oct-06-07 Anand vs Kasparov, 1995    tjoffy: Watch the game here, and listen to the Eurosport commentator. Priceless... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FutT... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrkh...      Oct-04-07 K Trygstad vs G Sargissian, 2007    tjoffy: But it is not just the knights. Except for the position of the two queens, the whole position is symmetric at move 28 with many pieces still on the board. Gotta check Tim Krabbés page...      Sep-29-07 World Championship Tournament (2007)    tjoffy: Congratulations to Vishy! Once again he is world champ, but this time the only one! And it is definitely deserved.      Jul-08-07 Ciudad de Leon (2007)    tjoffy: <percyblakeney> +161 -24 =163 against 2672 avg. opposition. Wow.      Jun-23-07 Dortmund Sparkassen (2007)    tjoffy: <14 Dog Knight> ops :-)      Jun-23-07 Hans Fahrni    tjoffy: <micartouse> The german source in the link in the post of <Karpova> says it was a "Vorgabepartie", which is a game where one of the players start out with reduced material. Is there an english word for this kind of game btw?      Jun-15-07 Veselin Topalov    tjoffy: <PeerGynt> If it is against the FIDE rules of chess it is cheating. It is really that simple. "During play the players are forbidden to make use of any notes, sources of information, advice, or analyse on another chessboard." FIDE Laws of Chess article 12.2a.      Mar-25-07 16th Amber Tournament (Blindfold) (2007)    tjoffy: <cannibal> <What you suggest is just bringing some bugs into the calculation. What you get is only worse chess.> To me that sounds like a pretty good description of 'human' blindfold chess too.
