Post other blitz thoughts, games, ettiquette, good, bad, amusing, or a Maytag washing machine ... all these things can come from a blitz game. Or wait, was that from a Black Hole? Well close enough, we'll lump it in. Here's my peeve for the day .... * * * You are playing along, after mutual Hello's were exchanged at the onset or there abouts. Find yourself in a winning position coming out of the opening, but already a minute and half down on time ... suddenly your opponent decides it would be nice to know where you are from, the annual rainfall there, and name of your firstborn. So okay, am I just getting grumpy? Maybe its just a matter of they figure "the games about over" lets talk now. I can understand that. But it makes me wonder . . . especially if I have two minutes left and it gets chatty. Should I have a Notepad or perhaps Paste set up beforehand to send in this situation? Should it say, "Hey I love to chat, let's do some PM's after this game, or just stay on and chat here! Right now, I got to play." or would I be better with: "Ja, Hi Hi. Hello hey. How today are you? " "Do speaks you some eastern Irutuskan?" "Goodf good? Ja or no? No more Englis I have" "Potensky andrejez undta das hasta faux tempus gleeban ola' schach de monkay?" . Or option #3 ... Oh I love to chat! I am from America, Iowa, 4th hill north of Berry Creek! Where you from? How far is that from you? I have played 20 years, when did you start? Did your Mom teach you? What do you do? Do you like this opening? What's it called? What time is it at your house? Why do you like Chess? What other games have you played? Where else do you play? What are your ratings there? Who do you know there? If I visit you do they Pepsi there? Who are your top ten chess players of alltime? Why do you think so? You are good, I bet you playt tournaments! What happened at your last tournament? Do you know how that 3 times draw works? I don't get it ... can you explain? Briefs or boxers? Taco's or Pizza? Britney or Kristina? Miller's or Bud? BTW Are you are Girl? How old are you, 21? Can you prove that? Or did you mean "12" like Ten plus Two, LOL ...haha * * * * * * * * * You DID ... um lol !? ********** GAME ABANDONED, YOU HAVE WON |

Chess news: Four share the spoils -- There was a four way tie for first at the 9th Karpov Poikovsky chess tournament in Siberia. Alexey Shirov could not hold onto his lead after an eighth round defeat at the hands of the 21 year old Azerbaijani GM Vugar Gashimov who was a surprise winner of the inaugural FIDE Grand Prix chess tournament at Baku earlier this year. Gashimov joined Shirov on the winning score of 5.5/9 and the leading quartet was completed by 2005 Russian chess champion Sergei Rublevsky and 2006 co winner Dmitry Jakovenko. A Volokitin – A Shirov; 9th Karpov Poikovsky chess ... Teenager causes angst -- The top seeds Evgeny Alexseev and Magnus Carlsen met in the second round at Biel with Carlsen black. The teenage chess prodigy managed to stir up huge complications from a quiet position when he broke out of his cramped formation but his opponent, a former Russian chess champion managed to defend himself and reach a drawn endgame despite the invasion of a black knight into the heart of his position. E Alekseev – M Carlsen; 41st Biel Festival (2); Queen’s Indian. 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 b6 4.g3 Ba6 5.Qa4 Bb7 6.Bg2 c5 7.dxc5 bxc5 8.0–0 Be7 9.Nc3 0–0 10.Rd1 Qb6 11.Bf4 Rd8 (11...Qxb2 12.Rab1 Qxc3 13.Rxb7 Nc6 14.Bd2 traps the queen) ... Carlsen is in luck -- A little good fortune for Magnus Carlsen gave him victory over French chess number 1 Etienne Bacrot in the 3rd round at Biel and the lead on 2.5/3. Bacrot’s solid defence to the Queen’s Gambit was working out very well but when Carlsen complicated matters with a dubious pawn sacrifice his opponent collapsed and was lost just a few moves later. M Carlsen – E Bacrot; 41st Biel Festival (3); Queen’s Gambit. 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 e6 5.Bg5 Nbd7 6.cxd5 exd5 7.e3 Be7 8.Qc2 Nh5 (This simplifying and solid line was favoured by Ulf Andersson, it is notoriously hard to beat) ... | |
