Posted by chessbaker play-online-chess.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.

Posted by heinzkat play-online-chess.com 10/13/2008 14:37:58 play online chess	If I understand correctly... Message: They want you to pay some 90 euros for the software (and you can just follow the WCC then): www.foidoschess.tv

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)

Posted by pgroenborg play-online-chess.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-online-chess.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-online-chess.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-online-chess.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-online-chess.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-online-chess.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-online-chess.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-online-chess.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-online-chess.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-online-chess.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 play-online-chess.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 play-online-chess.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 play-online-chess.com 10/20/2008 09:29:25 play online chess	Message: Stick a fork in Kramnik. He's done.
Posted by ogedei play-online-chess.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-online-chess.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-online-chess.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...

Chess news: Magnus and Hikaru -- the Ali-Frazier of Chess? -- ... But I can't tell you I've ever been more excited about a game than one that lasted five-and-a-half hours Thursday and ended in a tie. The sport was chess. If in everyday conversation you throw around terms like "zugzwang'' and "pawn island,'' you would have found the 59-move contest riveting. But even if you don't, the storyline was irresistable. Playing the white pieces was Hikaru Nakamura, the reigning U.S. chess champion and at 22, perhaps America's best hope for capturing the world title. On the other side of the chess board was Magnus Carlsen, the 19-year-old Norwegian phenom who is now the top rated chess player in the world. Both are brilliant grandmasters on the rise. Each ... Russia return to form after slump -- Russia, with a new-look young chess team, recovered from an early setback against Greece and won the World Team Chess Championship at Bursa, Turkey. The result eases the pressure on Moscow chess officials whose once invincible squad failed to justify top seeding in the last three Olympiads. The United States, without their No2, Gata Kamsky, took silver and India, missing the world chess champion, Vishy Anand, won bronze, both fine performaces. But the show stealer was this week's spectacular brilliancy, which helped the 22-year-old US chess champion to the individual top board gold medal. Boris Gelfand had planned the sharp opening and ... The Scotch Opening, part 3: the Kasparov approach -- The former world champion was responsible for a revival of interest in the chess opening. But how does he exploit it here? More on the Scotch. Garry Kasparov was responsible for its revival. Here he finds his e-pawn under pressure. What should he play? RB There are so many possibilities that I'm going to have to go through a process of elimination. We can discard the obvious hara-kiri options of 1 cxd5 and 1 exf6 Qb4+. Nor does 1 f4 fxe5 2 fxe5 Qg5 look particularly appealing. 1 Bg2 looks like it just loses a pawn and gives Black all the play after 1...fxe5 2 0-0, and 1 e6 is just bad. Nor do 1 Nd2, 1 Kd1 and 1 Ba3 solve the problem. That leaves ...
