Posted by chessbaker play-chess-online.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

Being that I'm on dial-up I'm cautiosly optimistic. ——— Texas Tech Redeems Itself With Final Four Chess Victory — Texas Tech University is at the top of a new college pecking order. Last weekend, Texas Tech won a chess tournament in Herndon, Va., featuring the four top teams from December’s Pan-American Intercollegiate Team Chess Championship. The tournament, called the Final Four of Chess, was a chance for redemption for Texas Tech, which finished fourth in the Pan-American competition. The University of Texas at Dallas, which won the chess championship in December, finished second, while the University of Texas at Brownsville was third and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, was fourth. For many years, the Dallas and Baltimore County campuses had the pre-eminent chess programs in ...

No chest-pounding, no cheerleaders. The four-corner offense or zone defenses are not parts of the game either. There are brilliant moves, but they are done quietly. And yet, the Final Four in college chess could be a dramatic experience. Played at the Booz Allen Hamilton building in Herndon, Virginia, over the last weekend, the chess event - also known as the President's Cup - featured three teams from Texas and the defending chess champion University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC). With students from 20 different countries, this year's Final Four was the strongest: each chess team had ...

Message: They want you to pay some 90 euros for the software (and you can just follow the WCC then): www.foidoschess.tv ——— Chess: Wrestling with the Allgaier variation — Pragmatism is the key to this tricky and menacing variation of the King's Gambit. The Allgaier variation of the King's Gambit arises after 1 e4 e5 2 f4 exf4 3 Nf3 g5 4 h4 g4 5 Ng5. Seldom seen, but not to be underestimated. RB: I don't know this variation. It looks very tricky and very dangerous. I suppose the first thing to decide is whether to take up White's offer of the knight: 5...h6 6 Nxf7 Kxf7. The black king is terribly exposed, but is White's sacrifice sound? Can Black fight off the assault with accurate play? If I were White I'd probably follow up with 7 Bc4+ when the most sensible defence seems to be 7...d5, giving up a pawn but ...

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) ——— French Grandmasters suspended on suspicion of cheating at Russia Chess Olympiad — The French Chess Federation (FFE) has suspended three players, two of them grandmasters, for allegedly cheating via coded text messages at the 2010 Chess Olympiad in Russia. GM Sébastien Feller took the board five gold medal and €5,000 with 6/9, including the win below against England's David Howell, where it is claimed that almost every black move is the first choice of the Firebird program. Feller's Olympiad team-mates backed the FFE, though the banned trio deny wrongdoing and have lodged appeals. According to witness evidence presented to its disciplinary committee, the FFE alleges that at critical game moments IM Cyril Marzolo fed moves from the live online games into ...
Posted by ketchuplover play-chess-online.com 10/13/2008 16:13:29 Play online chess	Message: chess.ca ——— Three French Chess Players Punished for Using Technology to Cheat — Cheating has become more common in recent years. But a recent French case is the most sensational, and the most troubling. In January, the French Chess Federation accused three of its members, including Sebastien Feller, a 20-year-old grandmaster, of cheating during last year’s Chess Olympiad. Feller, who is ranked No. 4 among French players, played Board 5 for the national Olympiad team and won an individual gold medal for his performance. But the federation said he had help from Cyril Marzolo, an international master, who watched Feller’s games online and put the positions into a computer, which suggested moves. Marzolo relayed the suggestions to Arnaud Hauchard ...
Posted by pgroenborg play-chess-online.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 play-chess-online.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 play-chess-online.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 play-chess-online.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 play-chess-online.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 play-chess-online.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 play-chess-online.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 play-chess-online.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 play-chess-online.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 play-chess-online.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 ketchuplover play-chess-online.com 10/20/2008 09:29:25 Play online chess	Message: Stick a fork in Kramnik. He's done.
Posted by ogedei play-chess-online.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 play-chess-online.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 play-chess-online.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...
