set wild 0 examine kibitz Recorder: Okay, I'm watching and logging this game. kibitz Forced2Zugzwang: dude.. I'm moving to Barbados so I can win the championship! kibitz mrcookie: whats this? kibitz Zek: Last round Barbados Championship kibitz Sphinxman: You have to be a citizen and then qualify. kibitz mrcookie: isnt FM > 2300 ? kibitz Sphinxman: Yes... but you can get an automatic FM title by scoring 50% in a zonal. kibitz Forced2Zugzwang: how could you not qualify .. freaking unrated players are playing kibitz mrcookie: what is a Zonal? kibitz Zek: FIDE unrated -- they have local ratings kibitz Sphinxman: It's a regional tournament of the strongest players. kibitz mrcookie: hum kibitz i dont understand kibitz FM = FIDE MASTER? kibitz Sphinxman: Yes. kibitz Forced2Zugzwang: dude..some kid from the US that's like 2100 could win kibitz mrcookie: so how can it be local? kibitz FIDE is worldwide kibitz Sphinxman: I don't think so. kibitz Forced2Zugzwang: dude..these players are weak kibitz I freaking 1900 is in 4th place kibitz Sphinxman: Not at all. kibitz Zek: If you don't want to watch -- don't kibitz Forced2Zugzwang: if they're strong to you maybe ur weak kibitz Sphinxman: These are BCF ratings. kibitz Forced2Zugzwang: HAHA kibitz mrcookie: lol kibitz Forced2Zugzwang: if it was BCF they would be like 10000 ELO :) kibitz mrcookie: ehe kibitz Sphinxman: But the two FM and Askari have FIDE. kibitz Forced2Zugzwang: yes but still kibitz Sphinxman: OK... here's a game by Corbin. http://www.thechessdrum.net/palview/Corbin-Chubinsky2.htm kibitz mrcookie: When does the game start? kibitz Zek: Warner leads with 10/10, Corbin second with 9.0/10 kibitz Scheduled to start 2 minutes ago kibitz mrcookie: Ok kibitz Sphinxman: waiting for relay kibitz MLRAKA: when star? e4 e6 kibitz forku2: freedom def kibitz MLRAKA: d4 kibitz manzeer: shhhh kibitz Triple-Xeon: looked at corbins game on the internet beautifully played kibitz mrcookie: 1-0 kibitz manzeer: lol kibitz mrcookie: MLRAKA damn u are good kibitz rangerbob: Okay, I'm a patzer. Faced with e3 is there any really good alternative to D4? kibitz Forced2Zugzwang: LOL kibitz Triple-Xeon: qe2 kibitz an i still connected kibitz rangerbob: How would we know? :-) kibitz Sphinxman: Corbin is a tactical wizard. kibitz Warner is positional kibitz Triple-Xeon: positional??? and he plays an anti positional opening kibitz mrcookie: relay delay kibitz Sphinxman: Warner has actually 4.5-.5 in last five games they've played... it's Tal-Korchnoi all over again. kibitz Triple-Xeon: tal theworld kibitz Sphinxman: Korchnoi owned Tal. kibitz mrcookie: lets listen to Dan Heisman instead kibitz Triple-Xeon: 10 mins for 2nd move kibitz atimco: why do you hope corbin wins? kibitz manzeer: are you in love with corbin? kibitz atimco: how do you know? kibitz Triple-Xeon: curt cobin i knew the suicide was fake kibitz atimco: do you know corbin? kibitz manzeer: I know corbin, and you, sir, are no corbin d4 d5 Nd2 Nf6 e5 Ne4 kibitz Ayo: a strange line kibitz Sphinxman: tricky kibitz Ayo: Nxe4 wrong? kibitz manzeer: This is the line i like to play! kibitz as white kibitz atimco: well I'm off to watch the real thing kibitz manzeer: i don't understand why he would double up kibitz where are you watching? kibitz atimco: I'm actually in barbados kibitz manzeer: is this on television? kibitz OMG kibitz cool for you kibitz you should report back to icc when done kibitz Hannibal: This is a tricky line, though with accurate play White should come out on top kibitz No doubt Warner is counting on Corbin's not knowing all of the theory kibitz Ayo: u even dont know where Barbados is kibitz Sphinxman: atimco good to have you. kibitz manzeer: uh, south america? kibitz Ayo: wrong kibitz manzeer: uh, central america? kibitz Sphinxman: Caribbean kibitz KingDJ: these guys are so low rated, why are their games being shown on here? kibitz Hannibal: Oh dear. Geography time! Southern Caribbean. But I think Manzeer is having some fun with us. kibitz Sphinxman: Because of the nature of the contest. kibitz Ayo: Barbados is in the south eastern Caribbean kibitz Hannibal: So tell us, KingDJ, why are you watching?! kibitz Sphinxman: National Championship... Warner is 10-0... Corbin is 9-1... last round. kibitz Other reason is... you get to see different players. kibitz manzeer: national championship of barbados? kibitz Hannibal: I'm watching because I'm Hannibal and Corbin is a well known Elephant man. True, he has White here, but I felt a moral obligation :) kibitz Sphinxman: Yep. kibitz atimco: thx sphinxman. I'm out now though kibitz Sphinxman: Later atimco. kibitz KingDJ: hannibal, i was just looking to see if it was interesting but since it isnt i am leaving kibitz Hannibal: 5.Nxe4 is more or less obligatory if White wants to play for an advantage here. kibitz Actually it will be kibitz With Corbin playing kibitz But it will take a few moves before Corbin sacrifices a piece or two kibitz manzeer: being a chess playing pro must be really cool, i'll bet the chics go crazy kibitz Sphinxman: Not interesting?? It's chess. kibitz Hannibal: Well Kasparov has a reputation with the ladies, but most chess players are in it for something other than the wild groupies kibitz Who's relaying moves here? kibitz Ayo: Game 1: Megasalud moves: d4 Bd3 kibitz Hannibal: Hmmmm kibitz Corbin is ducking out of the theoretical battle Nxd2 kibitz manzeer: kib chicken kibitz Triple-Xeon: theorectical battles are for computers kibitz Ayo: with black Mlraka? kibitz Hannibal: I see that Estrin, Geller and Yandemirov have all played this way for White, so there must be something to be said for it. I'm more familiar with the 3.Nc3 lines where this isn't possible, though. kibitz Pytel used to mess around with these crazy ...Ne4 lines of the French kibitz I don't know if he's considering Kxd2, though with Corbin it would be rash to be sure... kibitz Sphinxman: I wonder if Delisle will be satisfied with a draw? kibitz Hannibal: Yes, but Corbin would just as soon lose as draw. He will go for broke kibitz if Corbin loses he still takes 2nd by a margin kibitz Ayo: Kxd2 with the idea of Kc3 king attack kibitz Sphinxman: Of course, but is Delisle trying to ace the field... that's the question. kibitz Hannibal: Delisle has a plus score against Philip, something like 4/5 kibitz But under the circumstances I think he'd take a draw in an *equal* position kibitz Sphinxman: Well... that's only the last five games. kibitz Hannibal: As far as I know that's all the rated games they've played, Sphinxman Bxd2 kibitz that can't actually have taken Corbin more than a moment c5 kibitz Sphinxman: I'm not certain I'll have to ask someone in Barbados... hold on. c3 kibitz Hannibal: Small plus for White here. It will be interesting to see what Black decides to do with his King Qb6 Nf3 c4 Bc2 kibitz Sphinxman: There he goes with this craziness. Qxb2 kibitz Hannibal: Trust Corbin to mix it up!! kibitz Sphinxman: Warner can mix it up too! Look at this gem... http://www.thechessdrum.net/palview/AkQadri-Warner2.htm kibitz Hannibal: possible moves here include 0-0, a4, and Ng5 kibitz I'm betting on 0-0 but who knows...!? It's Corbin! kibitz Anyone here know Corbin personally? He ought to join the ICC kibitz GGuseinov(GM): looks like , black is good kibitz Berowne: well a pawan but much more development kibitz Vladikk: development where at the bottom:) kibitz BoneCrusher-a1: hi kibitz Berowne: afte 0-0 white menaces Ng5 kibitz Hannibal: Right: I think Corbin will castle and aim for Ng5 kibitz it would be in keeping with his style. kibitz Ayo: m ayo kibitz Hannibal: Trouble is, I bet Warner counted on this from Corbin. He's incapable of playing quietly ;) kibitz I bet Corbin is a heck of a blitz player! kibitz GGuseinov(GM): hmm kibitz Vladikk: how old are these guys? kibitz Sphinxman: Really incapable... Smith-Morra kinda guy. kibitz Vladikk: 11 -13/? kibitz Hannibal: Right. kibitz Zek: Pictures at http://www.thechessdrum.net/tournaments/BajanNatl2003/index.html kibitz Hannibal: so, let's think this out in Corbin fashion. kibitz Vladikk: THX kibitz Sphinxman: Is this in any Databases... I have too many windows open to check. kibitz GGuseinov(GM): if white wins kibitz 10 points kibitz so who wins touney?!? kibitz Hannibal: 10.0-0 Nc6 11.Ng5 h6 12.Rb1 Qxa2 13.Ra1 Qb2 14.Rb1 Qa3 15.Qh5!? kibitz GGuseinov(GM): zek.. if white wins who wins tourney? kibitz Hannibal: I think Warner's tiebreaks are better but I do not know whether they split the championship or not kibitz Vladikk: THESE GUYS LOOK LIKE THEY JUST GOT OUT OF JAIL kibitz Sphinxman: If Corbin wins, its a tiebreak. kibitz Warner is 10-0 and Corbin is 9-1. kibitz Hannibal: Warner's only loss would be to Corbin; Corbin's loss was to someone further down in the crosstable kibitz Vladikk, Philip Corbin has a Ph. D. in mathematical physics, I believe kibitz GGuseinov(GM): how much money for 1 prize? kibitz Sphinxman: Corbin's loss was to a rising star Askari Elson. kibitz Vladikk: Fantastic kibitz GGuseinov(GM): how much money for 1 prize?\ kibitz Hannibal: Heck, GGuseinov, this is Barbados. They pay you in coconuts, but you get to lie on the beaches!! kibitz Sphinxman: Corbin, 7-time champion. kibitz Vladikk: 20 bucks Gadir:) kibitz Triple-Xeon: trust a gm to ask about money kibitz GGuseinov(GM): just interesting how much? kibitz 1000$? kibitz Hannibal: I have no idea! kibitz A few years ago Szmetan went to Barbados and won the championship, but it probably wasn't worth his while financially kibitz Vladikk: Gadir what is your minimum appearance fee? kibitz Hannibal: C'mon, Philip, castle! kibitz Warner won't accept the draw two pawns up, and that will give us some fun! kibitz GGuseinov(GM): ok it is interesting pos kibitz maybe white can create super attack kibitz so nothing to say kibitz Hannibal: :) kibitz GGuseinov(GM): early to say kibitz Sphinxman: Szmetan didn't exactly dominate there. kibitz don44: 0-0 B-e7; a4 0-0; R-b1 Q-a6; R-a1 Q-b7; R-b1 Q-a6 draw kibitz Vladikk: Gadir te egraesh esle tebya preglashaut v lubex tourney ele veberaesh? kibitz Hannibal: If anyone can, Corbin's the man. He's a drunken machine-gunner, dangerous to everyone and perhaps to himself at times... kibitz Sphinxman: I knew Szmetan when he was studying for his Ph.D. in Chicago. kibitz He's "The Stopper." kibitz Hannibal: GGuseinov, what would you do with White here? I'm thinking 0-0 but we'd like your thoughts kibitz a4 perhaps? kibitz Sphinxman: Moves should be coming soon! kibitz Triple-Xeon: 0-0 then black needs to stop ng5 kibitz manzeer: 0-0 then white attacks king side, if black goes 0-0-0 then white employs rooks on the b file kibitz Sphinxman: I'll have to tell Corbin about 1.e4 e6 2.Nf3 d5 3.e5 c5 4.b4!? kibitz Triple-Xeon: bd7 rb1 kibitz Hannibal: Black may be able to hold White at arm's length after Ng5. Not clear. kibitz GGuseinov(GM): if he attacks white can win here kibitz but black have good chances kibitz Hannibal: All I know for *sure* is that Corbin is not done sacrificing. kibitz GGuseinov(GM): because of pawn kibitz forku2: poison kibitz manzeer: it does seem like he drank the koolaid taking that b pawn kibitz Sphinxman: Again for those who haven't seen this game... enjoy. http://www.thechessdrum.net/palview/Corbin-Chubinsky2.htm kibitz Hannibal: it's been tried 7 times in my database. White won 3 and drew 2 kibitz GGuseinov(GM): anyone know score in game Coria- Henman?!?! kibitz Sphinxman: Thanks Hannibal. kibitz manzeer: fi gguseinov kibitz Sphinxman: Guseinov is one of those strong juniors from Azerbaijan. Did you all know that their Olympiad teen has four juniors? kibitz Four Juniors... four GMs. kibitz darrellmac: Hi All kibitz I Know Gadir kibitz Sphinxman: Radjabov is a future World Champion. kibitz darrellmac: maybe kibitz Sphinxman: Did you all see how he annihilated Anand in Dortmund?? kibitz Tao-Warrior: who knows politics dictates kibitz Triple-Xeon: mcshane would beat him kibitz Sphinxman: I don't know about that. kibitz Luke is not solid enough. kibitz darrellmac: Radj is Very Strong for his Age !! kibitz Sphinxman: For anybody's age. kibitz 2648 kibitz darrellmac: I Know,But Esp. kibitz Triple-Xeon: mcshane has earned an invite to a top gm tournament at least kibitz darrellmac: Young kibitz Sphinxman: Definitely kibitz Radjabov has earned MANY invites. Dortmund isn't exactly a weak tournament. kibitz OK... I'm going to check on the Bajans. kibitz GGuseinov(GM): Rad is da man kibitz Triple-Xeon: why is radja getting the invites and mcshane isnt? kibitz darrellmac: Hi Gadir kibitz GGuseinov(GM): hi kibitz don44: is corbin still thinking or is there a communications problem? kibitz Zek: Sphinxman is checking to see if there is a problem with the moves kibitz Sphinxman: Because Radjabov is stronger and younger. kibitz compfirepower: hi folks! kibitz ill be your relayer from here on.. :) kibitz Sphinxman: Waiting for a response from Barbados. kibitz compfirepower: my computer has been messing up, therefore i may be slow kibitz internet page reloads are rather sluggish kibitz Hannibal: I'm sure Corbin has castled. We'll get a whole slug of moves here, after which Philip will be a piece down and his opponent's King will be on the third or fourth rank... kibitz If it's still a middlegame, this will be good news for White. But if it's an endgame... ;) kibitz Sphinxman: Any Bajan watching this? kibitz Top-Notch(IM): Yes one bajan is watching kibitz Sphinxman: Hey! kibitz It's the MAN! kibitz Top-Notch(IM): Hey! kibitz compfirepower: who me? kibitz Top-Notch(IM): wassup kibitz compfirepower: lol j/k kibitz Sphinxman: NO... Top-Notch. kibitz Top-Notch(IM): I think corbin has won the psychological battle here kibitz ElJeffe(FM): Whatsa bajan? kibitz compfirepower: white still has not moved folks, its not cuz im slow :) kibitz forku2: corbin will ditch another pawn kibitz Sphinxman: MOre on Caribbean chess. http://www.thechessdrum.net/newsbriefs/2003/NB_Caribbean.html kibitz Sulfur: Rb1 kibitz IBKINGnotN-WORD: o-o kibitz d-filer: rb1 qa2 ra1 qb2 rb1 qa3 ra1 draw :D kibitz IBKINGnotN-WORD: corban has won every game he's played so far...I don't think he wants a draw kibitz Sphinxman: No.... Warner has won every game. kibitz d-filer: might he not want to wrap the match up? kibitz IBKINGnotN-WORD: right kibitz Sphinxman: Corbin lost only to Elson. kibitz Elson is attending school in New Mexico. kibitz d-filer: sure you can tell don't know the tourney standings :D kibitz IBKINGnotN-WORD: you are right...got it mixed up O-O Be7 a4 Qb6 Ng5 Bxg5 Bxg5 kibitz compfirepower: ahem Nc6 kibitz IBKINGnotN-WORD: too bad warner won't get a norm for this tourney kibitz compfirepower: please let me do this salud... kibitz salud kibitz zek assigned me the relaying job kibitz you said you were leaving so.. kibitz Hannibal: I'm liking White well enough here. Where's the Black King going? kibitz GGuseinov, what do you think here? kibitz Top-Notch(IM): Corbin likes chaos....while Warner likes pawns...so they should both be happy kibitz forku2: lol kibitz Wolfi: f4 now kibitz compfirepower: salud let me do the rest please.. kibitz Emme: wasn't 12 Bg5 better than Ng5? Seems white has exchanged the wrong minor piece kibitz Top-Notch(IM): Corbin is very dangerous in attack kibitz Megasalud: no problem compf....have fun. kibitz compfirepower: k kibitz ty kibitz Hannibal: Emme, that was my thought initially but the more I look the more I like White after this pair of minors is off kibitz Corbin may be only 2235, but with the initiative he's perhaps 200 points stronger than that kibitz Sphinxman: He's certainly dangerous... that 1985 World Open win was one of the most beautiful games I've seen anywhere. kibitz IBKINGnotN-WORD: how old are these guys kibitz compfirepower: perhaps white tries a developing move like qg4? kibitz Hannibal: Possibly. I'm looking at vaious ideas for White. Some Qf3 ideas kibitz Top-Notch(IM): Corbin has never played the Tarrasch French before....Nor has Warner played 4..Ne4?!...so seems both have avoided the others home prep kibitz Sphinxman: That's what I said in my pre-game analysis. I figure Corbin had something prepared... Thanks Top-Notch. kibitz Top-Notch(IM): Judging by Corbin's non critical choice, I would say he didn't pay much attention to 4..Ne4 kibitz Hannibal: True, but he managed to inject some life into the position pretty quickly ;) kibitz compfirepower: the obvious here is qf3 or qg4 or qh5 id think.. kibitz Top-Notch(IM): I have played the Tarrasch many times with success vs Warner...no doubt Corbin studied those games carefully kibitz Hannibal: Ahhhh kibitz compfirepower: Qf3- stopping f6 kibitz Wolfi: Qg4 or Qh5 allows Qb2 kibitz so f4 and Rf3 looks better kibitz compfirepower: this is my first relaying job! :) kibitz say its blacks move kibitz nvm kibitz JFernandez: 0-0!! kibitz compfirepower: nah, o-o bxh7+ kibitz Hannibal: 0-0 Qh5 I should think kibitz Sphinxman: Moves should be coming soon, but I believe Delisle has to figure out what to do with his KIng. kibitz Hannibal: but it's White's move ;) kibitz compfirepower: id say blacks best choice would be f6 here kibitz but yeah its whites move :) kibitz Sphinxman: Black certainly would not go 0-0 here. kibitz He'll have nothing to protect the King. kibitz Top-Notch(IM): Warner has prepared the solid Rubinstein French with GM Valerian Gaprindishvili, who along with some other Georgian GM's specialise in it kibitz compfirepower: who is gaprindishvili?? kibitz never heard of him.. kibitz Hannibal: Top-Notch, knowing Corbin I'd expect 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.f3!? kibitz Top-Notch(IM): So i'm surprised he would risk this...maybe he's blinded by the thought of a perfect score kibitz lol..yes hannibal kibitz Mormal for him kibitz Hannibal: This looks, to be honest, a bit more like Corbin's sort of position than like Warner's. Particularly if things open up on the kingside. kibitz Sphinxman: Top-Notch know a thing or two about the BDG. kibitz Top-Notch(IM): Corbin is a very eccentric attacking player...He once played 1d4 Nf6 2g4?!? against me and was quite surprised that he lost kibitz compfirepower: i would say this is +/- kibitz Sphinxman: Oh... that's an interesting line though. kibitz compfirepower: unless black tries qb2 soon kibitz shrug kibitz Sphinxman: Black can get crushed if he's not careful, but you're right it's not that good. kibitz Top-Notch(IM): Yes this looks quite depressing for black...I dont see how black fights on the dark squares...Corbin's dark squared bishop is a monster kibitz Sphinxman: 1.d4 Nf6 2.g4!? Nxf6 3.e4!? kibitz 1.d4 Nf6 2.g4!? Nxg4 3.e4!? kibitz compfirepower: 0-1 kibitz :) kibitz Top-Notch(IM): Yes sphinx...thats how it went kibitz I went d6 kibitz Sphinxman: OK. kibitz xracer: . kibitz Sphinxman: That would be a game to see. kibitz Top-Notch(IM): The opening moves were something like 1d4 Nf6 2g4?!? Nxg4 3e4 d6 4f3 Nf6 5Nc3 e5....with a pawn up and a normal position kibitz Sphinxman: That g4 idea has been gaining steam in certain q-pawn lines. Remember Kasparov crushed Deep Fritz with that idea? kibitz compfirepower: how can you crush a powerhouse silicon beast with an absurd move like 2..g4? kibitz Top-Notch(IM): Yes this g4 pawn sac idea is cropping up in many openings these days kibitz compfirepower: now i must warn you guys, my comp is screwing up and it takes about 30 secs+ for my page to refresh kibitz Top-Notch(IM): I think its a line in the slav as well kibitz Sphinxman: No... not 2.g4, but the idea of g4 to open the g-file. It's a popular idea on GM level. kibitz compfirepower: but i think ill do fine kibitz Top-Notch(IM): Yup..thats what i meant kibitz forku2: re-boot comp kibitz compfirepower: ive tried kibitz Sphinxman: Here's the Kasparov game with Deep FRitz. kibitz compfirepower: it doesnt help :) kibitz forku2: uh oh kibitz Sphinxman: I meant Deep Junior... http://www.thechessdrum.net/palview/Kasparov-DeepJr3.htm kibitz compfirepower: yes kasparov played 7. g4?! vs junior in game 1 kibitz Sphinxman: Wrong one... http://www.chessbase.com/games/2003/x3d1.htm kibitz compfirepower: entering the sharpest lines of the semi slav anti meran kibitz the normal move isnt Nxg4 kibitz its dxc4 kibitz put Nxg4 can also be played] kibitz Sphinxman: That's what Junior played and got crushed. kibitz Vampire: what a high quality game :) kibitz compfirepower: i dont think junior lost in the first game by kasparovs opening prep kibitz Sphinxman: How does black continue? kibitz compfirepower: they had to fix the hardware before start of game kibitz so i think junior might have been weakened because of it kibitz who knows :) kibitz Sphinxman: Junior was confused on move 9. kibitz compfirepower: its strange kibitz my junior sees 9.. e5 as book kibitz Hannibal: Possible idea: Bc1-a3!? kibitz compfirepower: thats a very good idea actually kibitz Hannibal: Just a concept... not suggesting it this turn kibitz compfirepower: possible moves: qf3, qh5, f4, rb1, bc1... whites got a lot of them kibitz or the simple re1 kibitz or, a little novelty, 14. a5!! kibitz a5 nxa5 ba4+ bd7 bxd7+ kxd7 bringing king into open kibitz Hannibal: dapsay, not everyone from Barbados is into rap... kibitz Sphinxman: Well white can't play f4 until he moves his king. kibitz thedailyllama: a5 is certainly thematic kibitz Hannibal: (sigh) kibitz karagianis: no he could play f4 before moving the king kibitz just not the subsequent f5 kibitz Hannibal: In some ways, the Black king would be safer on the queenside, open b-file and all. I wonder if he'll try to go that way kibitz compfirepower: has white died? kibitz Sphinxman: Any minute. kibitz pawnjumper2: twenty minutes ago kibitz compfirepower: lol kibitz ill move once i get moves kibitz thedailyllama: any thoughts on the simple Qd2 and Rfb1? kibitz Hannibal: Just a transmission issue here kibitz Sphinxman: Where's Dapsay? kibitz Hannibal: I think I'd keep the diagonal back to c1 clear. I think the Bishop will be transferred to a3 at some point arrow d1 f3 kibitz So (to answer thedailyllama) I'd rather not play Qd2. kibitz Sphinxman: Right... I'm waiting on a call or e-mail. kibitz Hannibal: I'm guessing Qg4 here. Black hasn't got time to target c3, and next White can do the transfer Bc1-a3. What do some of the titled players think of this idea? kibitz thedailyllama: i agree on not wishing to have c1 blocked but the Q is not stuck on d2. my idea is to move it as soon as Rfb1 is effectedr Bc1 Qa5 kibitz Hannibal: Okay, going for it right away kibitz Now Ag4!? kibitz karagianis: Bc1-a3 looks strong, imho kibitz Hannibal: Qg4!? kibitz karagianis: Qf3-g3 possibly? kibitz Hannibal: I think Qg4 forces ...g6 kibitz Qf3 looks quite reasonable too kibitz Exciting! kibitz Sphinxman: The word out of Barbados is the players are taking their time... so time pressure should liven things up! kibitz compfirepower: lol kibitz yeah kibitz Hannibal: wheeeeeee!! kibitz That's what we like to hear! kibitz Sphinxman: Qe1!? kibitz Idea of f4, Rf3 and Qh4 kibitz compfirepower: you mean qh5 kibitz no kibitz sorry after qe1 u mean :) kibitz Sphinxman: No... Qe1 with the idea of f4, Rf3 and Qh4 kibitz karagianis: actually after Qg4 i might try Bd7 arrow d1 e1 arrow f2 f4 arrow f1 f3 kibitz Hannibal: Seriously, Qg4 is quite interesting here. Black cannot take on c3 or things fall apart too fast on g7 and h8 arrow e1 h4 kibitz karagianis: what about Qg4 Bd7 Hannibal? if Qxg7 then 0-0-0 kibitz then if Qxf7 Qxc3 kibitz cemo1100: ba3 sometime? kibitz Sphinxman: Just got a call from Barbados and the relayer said we're on track. Players are in a deep think. kibitz manzeer: no way kibitz Qf3 is the move kibitz karagianis: I like Qf3-g3. Qg4 seems too ambitious in light of Bd7 kibitz since black is not doing anything yet and white threatens with Ba3 kibitz Sphinxman: Oh... this is the moment of truth here. kibitz Hannibal: Corbin should not waste much time. If he can't bring himself to play Qg4, then Qf3 is an excellent practical choice and can be played right away. But I think he'll play Qg4 kibitz manzeer: where is i3? kibitz Hannibal: it's on f3, manzeer ;) kibitz manzeer: ahh kibitz Zek: i3 is the square to the right of h3 kibitz compfirepower: there is no i3 then :) kibitz Hannibal: Hey, please take the grafitti off the board! kibitz manzeer: preciatetcha kibitz Hannibal: I believe it's G/90 plus a 30 sec increment kibitz manzeer: don't concern yourself kibitz Hannibal: Who's the better blitz player, Corbin or Warner? Top-Notch, you still with us? kibitz drat. Top-Notch knows the players kibitz manzeer: allobs corbin kibitz Sphinxman: Of course Top-Notch is many times Barbadian champ. kibitz Corbin once stopped Top-Notch from getting a perfect score in the last round. kibitz Hannibal: Corbin should not burn too much time here. Qf3 is safe and retains all of his positional plusses. kibitz Sphinxman: Also stopped FM Ron Buckmire from getting a perfect score. kibitz manzeer: Qg4 is worth pondering kibitz Sphinxman: Qg4 is interesting. kibitz manzeer: but i think black castles and white must retreat to savfe that pawn kibitz gringo(FM): hmm kibitz Sphinxman: Qg4 is recommended by Fritz 8 kibitz gringo(FM): yes I am kibitz well kibitz Sphinxman: What's up Gringo!! kibitz gringo(FM): Corbin is an attacking type player kibitz loves to play crazy unedged stuff kibitz Sphinxman: Ready for the Clash!? kibitz Hannibal: 15.Qg4 Qxc3? 16.Qxg7 is +/- or +-, but kibitz If he doesn't like it, just Qf3 should be fine kibitz gringo(FM): I expect a simple Bd2 and Qg4 to follow Qf3 Bd7 Ba3 O-O-O Rfb1 a6 kibitz Hannibal: Bc5!!! kibitz Peregryn: Bc5 kibitz Hannibal: aiming at b6 is +- kibitz Sphinxman: Oh... Fritz says Bc5 wins. kibitz Hannibal: Come on, Philip... play it!! kibitz Peregryn: if I like it it's second best kibitz gringo(FM): hmm kibitz Hannibal: Corbin is MORE than strong enough to find this. Come on!! kibitz He's been creative with that darksquare B ... push it over the edge kibitz TimDC, could be just to bury the Queen alive kibitz e.g. kibitz 18.Bc5 Qc7 19.Bb6 Qb8 20.Qxf7 kibitz Moondog: "Hey-la, baby hello" kibitz Hannibal: Black cannot mount an attack with Rooks alone kibitz Moondog: oops kibitz Hannibal: Corbin will be all over him. kibitz But taking the exchange and then the f-pawn is probably even better kibitz Oh wait, ...Nxd8. Can't get the f-pawn quite yet. kibitz Still a very strong line. kibitz karagianis: well after Bc5 where does his queen go to? kibitz Hannibal: AlekhinesGun, I like the way you think! kibitz Triple-Xeon: qc7 kibitz karagianis: Bc5 Qc7 Bd6 kibitz gringo(FM): uhmm kibitz Hannibal: 18.Bc5 Qc7 kibitz gringo(FM): Warner i think will lose kibitz karagianis: excuse me Bc5 Qc7 Bb6 kibitz manzeer: gringo do you take pawn here? kibitz Peregryn: the Qb8 a5 and black is hog-tied kibitz Triple-Xeon: i though warner preped all this with some russian masters? kibitz gringo(FM): no kibitz taking pawn will ose c3 pawn kibitz taking pawn will lose c3 pawn kibitz manzeer: of course, duh kibitz that pawn sucks kibitz you could cover it for a long time with Bb4 kibitz then double the rooks if he takes with knight kibitz gringo(FM): Bb4 not bad kibitz Hannibal: 18.Bc5 is just overpowering. kibitz I hope Corbin finds it! kibitz manzeer: i agree Bc5 is strong kibitz forku2: bc5 then rb6 kibitz Triple-Xeon: nah thats too easy kibitz forku2: whatever kibitz gringo(FM): Corbin is looking for some sacrifice kibitz manzeer: Bc5 looks like it wins the rook, but i agree bishop is stronger than rook right now kibitz pawnjumper2: lol kibitz Hannibal: Bc5 with the idea of burying the Queen alive. Then White can mop up pawns on the kingside kibitz forku2: yummy dark squares kibitz Hannibal: yes! kibitz Triple-Xeon: what was the point oa a6 anyway? kibitz i mean hes weak on black squares so he plays a6 and makes himself even weaker on black squares????? kibitz manzeer: couldn't black push that b pawn after Bc5? kibitz ...b5 kibitz gringo(FM): Black is losing kibitz u r ALl right kibitz Bc5 is deadly kibitz Hannibal: It was played quickly to prevent Rb5, and now Warner is sitting there regretting it kibitz gringo(FM): and he thinks so long kibitz lol kibitz Hannibal: Neither of them is really "into" this opening. kibitz manzeer: i think black can counter Bc5 kibitz gringo(FM): mess up is a matter of opinion kibitz Hannibal: Corbin doesn't normally play the Tarrasch, and Warner doesn't usually play 4...Ne4!? kibitz Triple-Xeon: im moving to barbados i want to be a national champion!!!! kibitz gringo(FM): u moving to Barbados? kibitz SwimBikeRun: why is Bc5 deadly? kibitz forku2: most frenchs have a6 so bett er kibitz Triple-Xeon: any jobs there gringo kibitz Hannibal: trapping the Queen. kibitz gringo(FM): dunno kibitz manzeer: because that queen can't go anywhere kibitz gringo(FM): I am not in Barbados kibitz manzeer: until after goes b5 kibitz SwimBikeRun: the Q is trapped now.. trap it more? kibitz gringo(FM): omg kibitz did not think about Ne5 kibitz but kibitz then again kibitz Hannibal: Huh?

What is tiebreak? kibitz smooth-moves03: Rb6 Nxe5 kibitz Triple-Xeon: nxe5 qg3 kibitz manzeer: i'll sac that bishop once i have the rooks doubled kibitz molokai: Qf7 kibitz manzeer: lets rock and roll! kibitz Triple-Xeon: good for you kibitz manzeer: yes, very good for me kibitz SwimBikeRun: do u know how "good for you" ALWAYS sounds to german ears? kibitz Triple-Xeon: how kibitz SwimBikeRun: like "get lost!" kibitz gringo(FM): who's relaying these moves so slowly kibitz compfirepower: me kibitz :) kibitz Triple-Xeon: thats cos the germans have no sense of humour kibitz gringo(FM): I am sure he played Bb6 fast kibitz SwimBikeRun: the only thing worse is "it is good to hear good things..." ;-) kibitz compfirepower: well my page reloads every 120 secs kibitz manzeer: it sounds pretty similar to american ears i think kibitz compfirepower: and it just reloaded now and no bb6 kibitz SwimBikeRun: we do have a sense of humor, u should see our tv program kibitz and the guys we send to the european song contest, they definitly prove our sense of humor kibitz Triple-Xeon: all german tv is fat naked people drinking beer kibitz compfirepower: LOL kibitz SwimBikeRun: not true kibitz lots of american soaps running though...friends and all that crap kibitz Triple-Xeon: well the eurovision song contest is pretty universal, well not really its european but u know what i mean kibitz danbegun: slim half naked ladies making love then? kibitz Triple-Xeon: IT SHOULD HAVE WON!!!! kibitz SwimBikeRun: now, there are some commercials with half naked ladies though kibitz the upper kibitz no camel toe on tv here kibitz danbegun: The Gun half, not the Alekhine kibitz Triple-Xeon: what they selling, no wait thats a really stupid question to ask kibitz SwimBikeRun: not even after midnight, which sucks kibitz shower gel, would u believe kibitz danbegun: to be honest for a moment, it really does kibitz molokai: what about Bb7 q-move Bxr kibitz manzeer: triple-xeon, get lost kibitz Triple-Xeon: why kibitz SwimBikeRun: he wanted to say: good for u kibitz hilarious kibitz manzeer: sorry, my german is not so good kibitz SwimBikeRun: meines aber kibitz Triple-Xeon: wo ist deine kibitz munch: nein kibitz SwimBikeRun: wurst, with a u kibitz if u mean sausage kibitz forku2: bier?

Gringo, who knows him, suggests that Corbin didn't want the game to have a technical phase. Too bad -- this limits him as a player! kibitz danbegun: yeah, not bc5 kibitz forku2: corbin has contemp for pawns kibitz gringo(FM): Corbin likes to be able to put pressure and win with tactics . He doe snot want to take the rook and have to win a long drawn out game kibitz he prefers to keep peices and pressure to sacrifice and win kibitz lilred: bc5is good kibitz Peregryn: Bc6 Bc6 Bc5-d6, Rb6 and white can set up alekhine's gun on the b file kibitz Hannibal: I would have taken the material in a heartbeat, and I'm pretty aggressive myself. kibitz manzeer: corbin is my kind of guy kibitz therefore, he is not the chess player he should be kibitz Hannibal: But the material was FREE. No strings attached, no counterplay, etc. kibitz If Corbin fails to win, this game will be a great might-have-been. kibitz gringo(FM): he could have taken the rook and the f7 pawn kibitz Hannibal: Curiously, now the game will be more technical than ever kibitz gringo(FM): but win lose or draw Warner wins the tournament kibitz f8: the question for White now is how to get his queen into an attack kibitz Hannibal: What was that line of Spassky's in 1972 when Fischer forfeited game 2? "It is a very pity" kibitz Triple-Xeon: if corbins that agressive why did he play the tarrash why not nc3? kibitz manzeer: time! kibitz lilred: is bc5 any good kibitz Hannibal: as long as Black's Queen remains buried, White has some advantage despite his missing pawn kibitz manzeer: black is pretty strong, that knight is a good piece, and white's queen is not where she is needed kibitz SwimBikeRun: likr how kibitz Hannibal: I'd leave the Bishop on b6 to make sure Black's Queen *stay* buried and try to make something happen on the kingside kibitz SwimBikeRun: we are melting too, over 100 fahrenheit kibitz compfirepower: nothing can happen on the kingside kibitz lol kibitz Hannibal: perhaps lift a Rook to f3. First, though, get the undefended Bishop off of a4 kibitz lilred: bc5 is a attack on king kibitz manzeer: i agree, the kingside is only good for black kibitz SwimBikeRun: usually its in the high 70s this time of the year... kibitz manzeer: it's hot in dallas, i can confirm that, but, when you have a job indoors, no need to whine Qf2 kibitz Peregryn: well, black's N is useful but his B is pretty bad so exchanging on c6 makes some sense even though you usually want to avoid exchanges when you have a bind kibitz Hannibal: Bd1 here, intending to transfer a R to h3 perhaps. Alternatively, tripling on the b-file might work if only White could figure out how kibitz lilred: after bxn bxb bc5 Nxe5 kibitz SwimBikeRun: no good training for the next ironman under these conditions... kibitz manzeer: wow dxe5 kibitz Sphinxman: I just got word that Corbin has 2 minutes left on his clock. Bxa4 kibitz Hannibal: **** Ba7 kibitz lilred: ouch kibitz Hannibal: This is a mess kibitz manzeer: i think white is stronger than before kibitz SwimBikeRun: gee, can black get away nowß kibitz Triple-Xeon: anybody want to know fritz score? kibitz compfirepower: only one move, qa8 kibitz lilred: maybe kibitz Hannibal: Black is better now but with Corbin in time pressure who knows what might happen!! kibitz compfirepower: i dunno kibitz Hannibal: No, Qc7 here kibitz for sure kibitz lilred: qa8 kibitz qc7 kibitz Hannibal: I suspect Corbin wants to take on b7 kibitz compfirepower: whats the fritz score? kibitz manzeer: what was your first clue? kibitz Peregryn: ha kibitz Triple-Xeon: qc7 0.34 kibitz Jamaicandon: Q c7 Rb7 kibitz Hannibal: right, Jamaicandon, I think that's what he has in mind kibitz gringo(FM): ahh kibitz Hannibal: two captures on b7. Black has to take with his King then: R capture allows White's Queen in too easily. This gets messy! kibitz Triple-Xeon: white buggered it up it was as high as 3.1 when he had bxr sitting earlier kibitz Peregryn: Bc6 was better than Qf2 kibitz gringo(FM): I think this is lame kibitz because they are my homies kibitz true kibitz better than watching Kramnik kibitz Hannibal: Or watching Anand offer a draw on move 13 kibitz gringo(FM): lol kibitz Hannibal: (I speak as a great fan of Anand, when Anand feels like playing chess) kibitz SwimBikeRun: new title: super GM, for all over 2650 kibitz compfirepower: nah, not anand, ur thinking of leko :) kibitz Triple-Xeon: i like mcshane kibitz always energetic and exciting games kibitz SwimBikeRun: radjabov plays some aggressive stuff kibitz Triple-Xeon: i think radja slowly getting sucked into the comp based crap that gets passed off as chess among the super gms, hes losing his flair kibitz lilred: they say radj is better than mcshane even kibitz Peregryn: a8 you mean kibitz SwimBikeRun: http://vnews.ironmanlive.com/vnews/1058452857 , the name is Beinke ;-) kibitz Triple-Xeon: id love to see a match between those two Qc7 Rxb7 kibitz compfirepower: zek its my job :) kibitz gringo(FM): hmm Qxb7 Rxb7 kibitz maybe I am wrong about Warner winning on a lose Kxb7 kibitz it's a knockout tourn..lol Bc5 Rc7 back 1 back 1 back 1 back 1 back 1 back 1 back 1 back 1 back 1 kibitz compfirepower: WTF kibitz gringo(FM): LOL back 1 back 1 back 1 kibitz compfirepower: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
