Jan-30-06 Lputian vs Kasparov, 1976 
|
trolls: Ha, ha! That's funny! I get that
you must mean that Black's opening
play is practically a blow by blow
straight out of John Watson's book
on the K.I.D.? It does kind of
look familiar!
Should we check 14 year-old Gazz's
bookshelf at this time?
Alright, let's not ... |

trolls: 24...?
24...Be4! and 25...Nb4 ( ). |

Jan-23-06 Ivanchuk vs Ehlvest, 1986 
Jan-15-06 Kharlov vs Topalov, 2004 
|
trolls: Crowing over a sacrifice born of necessity? Black obviously plays a
principled, practical game thru-out, helped along by White's evident
time pressure, coming up with lemons like 25 Rd4? and then 33 Rg3? (33 Bh4!). 20 Nde2 was un-necessary (20 Be3!). |

Jan-09-06 Kibitzer's Café 
|
trolls: OK, maybe I deserve that. I just
thought, why be a martye, with a
lifetime ban on that, since we
were not only working for peanuts, but
getting the shaft at the same time.
It was like stepping into an old shoe at first...
We'll just have to do other things,
I guess. ... |

Jan-06-06 Gulko vs Kasparov, 1995 
|
trolls: Course 14 f3 was actually forced, due
to the threat to trap the bishop after 13...h5. And actually, 14...a4
has been played, when the continuation
was just 15 b4 axb3 16 Nxb3 b6 17 a4
and a5, etc. So Gazz's 14...Bf6!
was remarkably crisp right at that
stage. After ... |

Jan-04-06 Gulko vs Kasparov, 1990 
|
trolls: Gazz just never had anything going
in this game. It's one of Chess'
anomolies, man. Gulko just seemed to
be able to make Garry look like a bum,
whereas others couldn't. |

Jan-04-06 Gulko vs Kasparov, 1981 
|
trolls: Well, this was certainly good opening
preparation by one of these players.
Right offhand, I'm going to say Gulko, since Gazz looked to be positionally busted by about move 15.
Course, that stuff happens in the Benoni all the time. All the variations are bad for Black, who's

Jan-04-06 Karpov vs Alburt, 1980 
|
trolls: OK, on to Kaspo - Gulko.
Let's find like the ONE game
where Kaspy finally beat Gulko, who
I bet still has a plus score against
the Gazz-ball. ROCK the Gaaaaaz Balll!!! We're reamin' out yo'.....! |

Dec-29-05 V Kovacevic vs R Henley, 1983
|
trolls: I'm not sure if I'm being jerked
here. I suppose if 33 Nxd3, that
33...Nh3+! would be good as a first
response, but the rest would need
to be worked out.
More pertinently, we once again see
Ron's curious evaluation of a queen
sac around move 29. Can there be much |
