Posted by chessbaker sleepingdogsliethemovie.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
Posted by ketchuplover sleepingdogsliethemovie.com 10/13/2008 11:32:59 Play online chess	Message: I'm picking Kramnik to win. Just a gut feeling. I'm downloading the foidos thing now. 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: As his fame grows, Nakamura hopes others take up game — A little more than four years ago, Hikaru Nakamura wrote: "We shall see what the future holds for me, but, as of right now, playing chess professionally is not on my mind." After his astonishing victory last month at the Tata Steel chess tournament in Wijk aan Zee, Netherlands - ahead of stars such as Viswanathan Anand, Magnus Carlsen and Vladimir Kramnik - the 23-year-old American expressed hope that other young U.S. players might see a future in chess because of his success. Nakamura, indeed, is an inspiring phenomenon. He is fearless. As he once explained, "There is no point in taking draws." He is also relentless, quickly putting even painful losses behind him and ...
Posted by chessbaker sleepingdogsliethemovie.com 10/13/2008 12:09:24 Play online chess	wcc Message: I can not open that foidos thing.I try it from yesterday morning without success ——— Chess Music — For absolutely no good reason, I found myself wondering what a chess game would sound like if played on the piano. One can’t help but notice that algebraic chess notation maps almost perfectly to scientific pitch notation… The eight columns of a chess board correspond to the eight audible octaves. E.g., C4 is a middle square on the chess board and C4 is “middle C” on the piano… NOTATION: I know what you’re thinking: the diatonic scale has seven notes “A” through “G,” but the chess board goes up to “H.” So how can we overlay chess notation with pitch notation? Fear not! We’ll simply use the Northern European system of musical notation, where ...

Message: They want you to pay some 90 euros for the software (and you can just follow the WCC then): www.foidoschess.tv ——— For Anand, learning is an ongoing process — At 41, Vishwanathan Anand has to keep up with a lot. A whole breed of chess players who've learned the game from computers. Opponents who often call him 'uncle' before building fierce attacks on the board. And 20-year-old chess prodigies like Norway's Magnus Carlsen, with whom he's in constant battle for the world No. 1 ranking. If that isn't enough, the reigning world chess champion, who's virtually patented the term 'whiz kid', now ironically has to battle the ravages of middle age. Life in the 40s, Anand knows, is challenging. "I've been called 'uncle' sometimes! It's amusing but what's interesting is that the sport of chess is getting younger. I understand that I have to work hard to ...

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) ——— Chess: The patience of Anand — The world chess champion might have rushed his attack, but his gradual squeeze gave him the upper hand. Ponomariov-Anand, Wijk aan Zee 2011. White has just played 1 Qc6-c8. How should Black reply? We rejoin the game from last week, but a few moves further on. Anand has improved his position, notably on the kingside, and remains in control. How can he make further progress? RB: Last week it occurred to me that Ponomariov's queen looked locked in on the queenside, but I couldn't see a way to trap it. Some moves further along, the idea seems even more attractive. What happens if I play 1...Rf8...? Hmm, White has ...
Posted by ketchuplover sleepingdogsliethemovie.com 10/13/2008 16:13:29 Play online chess	Message: chess.ca ——— Chess Puzzles: King Tut in Studies — Last week we invoked memories of King Tut, presenting two chess compositions in which the black king is mated, surrounded by eight black pawns. You can find the solutions at the end of this column. This week we present a slightly different "King Tut motif. " Entombing the king in chess studies is usually done at the edge of the chessboard and often leads to spectacular stalemates. It can save draws in tournament games. Puzzle #1: A simple king tomb was created by the Austrian chess master, theoretician and writer Johann Berger in his important work on endgames, Theorie un Praxis der Endspiele, published in 1890. Johann Berger White draws
Posted by pgroenborg sleepingdogsliethemovie.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 sleepingdogsliethemovie.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 sleepingdogsliethemovie.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 sleepingdogsliethemovie.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 sleepingdogsliethemovie.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 sleepingdogsliethemovie.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 sleepingdogsliethemovie.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 sleepingdogsliethemovie.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 sleepingdogsliethemovie.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 sleepingdogsliethemovie.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 sleepingdogsliethemovie.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 sleepingdogsliethemovie.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 sleepingdogsliethemovie.com 10/20/2008 09:29:25 Play online chess	Message: Stick a fork in Kramnik. He's done.
Posted by ogedei sleepingdogsliethemovie.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 sleepingdogsliethemovie.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 sleepingdogsliethemovie.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...
