And despite the enormous strides of chess theory since then, his percentage can only be reduced a few points."likesforestshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363355892919115087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075362.post-41808772518744123992008-08-16T12:01:00.000-05:002008-08-16T12:01:00.000-05:00Hi! can we xlink with my chess blog which features...Hi! can we xlink with my chess blog which features daily chess updates and news? just let me know and i'll add you..thank you.chess addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09869448322902753975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075362.post-37641434264106439942008-08-15T21:49:00.000-05:002008-08-15T21:49:00.000-05:00Have you started analyzing the games of Pillsbury ...Have you started analyzing the games of Pillsbury or Tchigorin from Hastings, 1895 yet? I just got done going over the games of those two players from the same tournament. I am not analyzing them yet. I am still honing my analysis process on my own games first. But I am getting ready to try it out on a Capablanca game.<BR/><BR/>Have a good weekend!<BR/><BR/>TommyGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075362.post-5882793511845767942008-08-11T17:37:00.000-05:002008-08-11T17:37:00.000-05:00Great stuff.

Embedded in the chapters is Cheshire's ( original author) commentary on each round. It gives insight to the time scrambles and even the social event the participants agreed to attend. <BR/><BR/>Not many pictures though. for that, I let google be my co-pilot. wikipedia has a lot of info as well as batgirl ( chess.com/batgirl), mark weeks and others out there on the chess history bandwagon. I go fishing for info, collect here to try to bring one closer to the event. It's a feature I've added to my time machine ;)<BR/><BR/>@transformation: I look more like Steinitz as i reported back in 2006 here : http://blunderprone.blogspot.com/2006/03/i-took-test-steinitz.html<BR/><BR/>Frank, Billy and Dusty... seen them live ( I won't say when)... nice beards... but I think there's a threshold when they get that long it becomes a distraction when you can't see your own king.BlunderPronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08316158004635698398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075362.post-10490393398803755622008-08-11T08:01:00.000-05:002008-08-11T08:01:00.000-05:00do you look like them, or do they look like you? ...do you look like them, or do they look like you?
