Posted by chessbaker razlending.com 10/13/2008 04:00:24 Play online chess	Subject: WCC Message: Tomorrow the match between Anand and Kramnik starts for the world tittle. Seems that on GK nobody is busy with it.... or am I wrong? Say something about it; who do you think will win and why,prognoses and etc. I think Anand will win,but with only one point ahead.In my opinion Kramnik is not so good as Anand.Also physical he looks not so fit. As you see him I found he looks always very tired.But that's my opinion ,so common and let us know what yours is

There is not so much "chess talking" in the forums here, which does not mean there is no interest in chess ...! Of course we will follow the match. Here is a link: www.uep-chess.com

Hopefully I'll be able to watch it live FOR FREE! I'm not paying for it!! Being that I'm on dial-up I'm cautiosly optimistic. ——— On Chess: Kasparov resurfaces occasionally for win — After two decades of dominating the chess world, Garry Kasparov astonished his contemporaries when he abruptly retired in 2005. On four occasions since, he has reappeared in blitz chess events — all of which he has won. His most recent foray was an eight-game match against Nigel Short, whom he had earlier defeated in a world title match in 1993. Although Short is still an active chess player, Kasparov was able to prevail, albeit by a narrow 41/2-to-31/2 score. It was a close call for Kasparov, who trailed Short by a point with two rounds to go. But the 47-year-old ex-world chess champion exhibited characteristic grit and determination in winning the last two games. Although Kasparov maintains some ...

Sadler, now 37, won an individual gold medal at the 1996 Chess Olympiad where England finished fourth, and was the top scorer in the gold medal squad at the 1997 European teams. Then he gave up the game for an IT career with Hewlett Packard, and hardly played at all for a decade. But this year he has won first prizes at Barcelona in August and Oslo in October, going through both chess tournaments unbeaten and restoring his world ranking to around No80, not far short of his ...

Message: They want you to pay some 90 euros for the software (and you can just follow the WCC then): www.foidoschess.tv ——— Chess: Elite Players Struggle After Taking Break From Play — Tournament play after a long layoff is not easy, even for elite chess players. They can forget what they know about openings or fail to stay up to date. A larger obstacle is the crucible of competition: the pressure can be intense, and the mind and body have to be reconditioned. Gata Kamsky learned that lesson in 2004 when he returned after an eight-year layoff and his world ranking fell. Several top chess players have followed a similar course in recent months. One of them, Yasser Seirawan, 51, a former United States chess champion, had not competed on an elite level for eight years until he entered the national chess championship in April. He struggled then, but his results have improved. At ...

So far it has always delivered pretty good covering of events (games, analysis, videos, interviews...); I'm sure in Bonn the coverage will excel again: www.chessvibes.com (for example, a video of the opening press conference is available there, and all for free) ——— On Chess: Being hunter better than being prey — Aggressiveness pays in chess and other games, as well as in life itself. Bobby Fischer’s relentless will to win and engage the opponent until only naked kings were left is legendary. Few opponents were able to keep from flinching or ultimately collapsing under the pressure of his fierce and predatory intent. Mikhail Tal attacked, attacked and attacked. Playing him was like facing a brigade of octopuses, each of whose tentacles were firing a Gatling gun. Of course, he wasn’t merely aggressive. He also played with extraordinary artfulness and creative flair.

Posted by ketchuplover razlending.com 10/13/2008 16:13:29 Play online chess	Message: chess.ca ——— The 2011 SPICE Cup — This week I am in Lubbock, Texas, for the annual SPICE Cup Chess Tournament. SPICE stands for Susan Polgar Institute for Chess Excellence, an organization devoted to the promotion of chess education and outreach headquartered at Texas Tech University. Susan is a former Women's World Chess Champion who works alongside her husband, Paul Truong, (a strong chess master in his own right) to organize all sorts of tournaments, chess classes and chess camps. The SPICE Cup is, by far, the strongest chess tournament they organize, and it is one of the strongest tournaments held annually in the U.S. each year. This year there are three different sections, each with several grandmasters. The strongest ...
Posted by pgroenborg razlending.com 10/14/2008 05:53:40 Play online chess	Not my hero Message: I'm with Anand all the way, but Kramnik is very, very solid, like a rock. Remember Kramnik was the one to overthrow Kasparovs 15 years reign - and I was hoping for Kasparov at the time. I am not a fan of Kramniks style, Anand plays a more lively game I think. However they have battled in more than a hundred games, the score is more than 90 draws and 19 victories for Anand and 15 for Kramnik, so it is going to be very tight, we should be lucky to get more than 2 or 3 decisive games in the match I think, it is only 12 games, a short match. I really excited about it, although I fear the cold Russian will beat the warm Indian. Cheers and have fun Peter ps spellchecking of above is funny, it doesn't recognise the players mentioned, lol
Posted by blake78613 razlending.com 10/14/2008 08:23:26 Play online chess	Message: Anand is certainly a talented player. I am not certain that he has the temperament for match play. Psychologically, I give Kramnik an edge.
Posted by ketchuplover razlending.com 10/14/2008 09:54:29 Play online chess	Message: First game drawn in 32. Semi Slav exchange. Kramnik had white.
Posted by lighttotheright razlending.com 10/14/2008 11:39:32 Play online chess	Well!!! Message: That was a rather simple game. I expected something a little more complicated for a World Championship game. There wasn't a whole lot of risk taken on either side. Given that these guys have played as much as has been stated earlier, I would not expect them to need to feel each other out that much. But that was the sense I got from just observing the moves only. They seemed to be testing what each other might do.
Posted by ccmcacollister razlending.com 10/14/2008 12:20:14 Play online chess	Light, then I would suspect .... Message: That if the players are starting slow, they are seeking to see what can be gained on their own talents and saving the TN's and Improvements for a more critical point. Which will also give the other side less time to switch openings and study something like that. I havent actually seen the game yet. Maybe too to get comfortable with the venue and cast of characters involved. Maybe they just dont have much new ... cough, choke. Yeah, the Russian #1 and th\\Champ with most the rest of the world behind him ... I also suspect they will have a few things in store to dazzle us. ( Got to admit it, even seen a senior ccm make even a Petroff dazzle once. Ah gosh that was HARD ...oh, and of course it did Draw :))
Posted by pgroenborg razlending.com 10/14/2008 12:55:00 Play online chess	Numbers Message: I read about that high number of games between them somewhere on the net, can't recall the source right now, think it was Chess Vibes, but not sure. Other bloggers use different source? i.e. wikipedia has this to say: Viswanathan Anand and Vladimir Kramnik have played 51 classical chess games, of which Kramnik won six, Anand took four wins, and 41 games were drawn. In rapid games, the score is 10–2 in favour of Anand with 34 draws. In blitz the score is 2–2 with four draws. In the blindfold games the score is 4–3 in favour of Kramnik with six draws. In Advanced Chess Kramnik leads 1–0 with seven draws.
Posted by ketchuplover razlending.com 10/15/2008 10:31:51 Play online chess	Message: Game two drawn. More lively than game one imo. I think Kramnik should've tried Rd2 on move 31
Posted by lighttotheright razlending.com 10/16/2008 10:28:24 Play online chess	Message: If 31, ,,, Rd2 then 32. Bb3. Kramnik didn't have an effective attack here.
Posted by lighttotheright razlending.com 10/16/2008 10:52:11 Play online chess	Message: I was trying to think of something else Annand could have tried instead of the queen swap on move 19. If 19. Be7 Rde8 20. Bg5 Qc5 21, h3 h6, Black looks OK and White would probably have to look for a drawn position anyway.
Posted by ccmcacollister razlending.com 10/17/2008 16:30:23 Play online chess	already ... Message: A win for Anand. That's a pretty quick score on K.
Posted by lighttotheright razlending.com 10/17/2008 22:26:56 Play online chess	Message: Now that was a good and exciting game! That's the kind that we expect from a World Champion.
Posted by vulpecula razlending.com 10/20/2008 09:05:24 Play online chess	Another win for Vishy Message: Can anyone see Kramnik recovering from this ?? Regards, Guy
Posted by ketchuplover razlending.com 10/20/2008 09:29:25 Play online chess	Message: Stick a fork in Kramnik. He's done.
Posted by ogedei razlending.com 10/20/2008 11:37:46 Play online chess	oy Message: Just when Kramnik has two Blacks in a row, too... Time to come out swinging with Black for the first time in years, Vlad. Good luck with that!
Posted by cairo razlending.com 10/20/2008 13:56:42 Play online chess	It Message: certainly look rather overwhelming for Kramnik and I personally hope that Anand goes all the way, but don't count Kramnik out yet, he is known as a gritty competitor when it looks worse...... best wishes Cairo
Posted by ogedei razlending.com 10/21/2008 11:41:31 Play online chess	Game 6 Message: Wow. It seems that Anand is working to to prove the old (and heretofore discredited) adage that, "great players never castle!" It's a great match, but let's hope Vlad can find his form quickly so that we have some competitive games. It's tough to watch won of your chess heroes going down in flames...
