Jan-26-05 Anatoly Karpov
| |
| von schlepstein: I have a vague memory from my early childhood, something like, Anatoli Karpov, Peanuts and Surprise, that's what you get from Crackerjack. . . |

| |
| von schlepstein: If potential is judged simply by rating compared to age, the teenagers with the most potential are Radjabov, Karjakin, Carlsen. Is there a better way to judge it? |

| |
| von schlepstein: Supposedly the Russian "G" translates to the English "H". The claim has been made that the English version of Kasparov's first name is "Harry". |

| von schlepstein: In the past 20 years there has been about 100 points rating inflation. My theory is that the best players today really are 100 points better - not because their brains are superior but because they can use the modern computer to assist them. |

Dec-24-04 E Gasanov vs Lagno, 2002
| |
| von schlepstein: Another interesting point is that Black could play 77 . . . Kb1, then capture the bishop and still not win with king, knight and pawn against bare king. |

| |
| von schlepstein: I just bought a Go set as a present for my 8 year old niece. I'll start her out with five-in-a-row tick-tack-toe. Not a bad game and takes literally one second to learn how to play. |
