Back to forum Thibault de Vassal (2007-10-01 14:09:36) Other Russia, Kasparov president ? "The former world chess champion Garry Kasparov entered Russia's presidential race on Sunday, elected overwhelmingly as the candidate for the country's beleaguered opposition coalition (Other Russia)" http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe/09/30/russia.kasparov.ap/index.html This is a bit off topic but it could be interesting to know the view of our russian friends, from the inside, about this !? Hannes Rada (2007-10-01 19:10:42) Kasparov for president ? I would rather prefer to see Garry in a different race. Those for the correspondence chess championship (ICCF or FICGS :-) instead of becoming a stupid politician. :-( Thibault de Vassal (2007-10-01 19:43:30) Kasparov CC I wonder what would look like a Kasparov correspondence chess game !? .. I think he would feel frustrated quite quickly :) By the way, I remember that Peter Leko played some correspondence chess games at ICCF... Well, a first Google search "Peter Leko correspondence chess games" gives a thread at FICGS without the information.. those spammers are annoying :) .. Also this page with a CC game (unfinished) of Bobby Fischer : http://www.uschess.org/cc/dunne/alexjul01.html Hannes Rada (2007-10-01 20:21:51) Kasparov CC If I remember correctly Garry once stated that he could win such a title easily, because he is superior in analyzing chess positions. Could be true, or not ? van Oosterom - Kasparov at CC conditions, what is your prediction ? Maybe Garry has an advantage because he can analyze deeper within a specific time unit due to his superior chess knowledge and experience. Thibault de Vassal (2007-10-01 23:32:17) Kasparov vs. CC champion That's a good question and it would be very interesting to see such a match. Quite hard to say, it was probably true a few years ago, nowadays I'm not sure anymore... Viktor Savinov (2007-10-02 11:57:51) Kasparov CC Kasparov CC perfomans - 3126!! +56=2-0 (1979-1982 & 1992-9 - 1998) Thibault de Vassal (2007-10-02 13:11:47) Kasparov CC Hello Viktor ! So Garry Kasparov did play correspondence chess ?! Do you know where one can find some games (maybe you can post some here) ? Viktor Savinov (2007-10-02 13:21:59) Kasparov CC Almost all CC-games from tournaments in the USSR are lost. Hannes Rada (2007-10-02 16:06:09) CC Kasparov and other OTB GM's Viktor, What kind of Russian tournaments did he play ? I played at chessfriend against OTB Elo > 2600 GM Daniel Fridman from Latvia. At CC he was only around Elo 2300. But I could not communicate with him to ask about his motivation for cc Thibault de Vassal (2007-10-02 19:33:41) CC / OTB ratings Since strong engines appeared, there's no more a clear relation between OTB and CC ratings IMO. A few months ago, GM Nigel Davies explained that he gave up correspondence chess because it simply asks too much energy and time. Hannes Rada (2007-10-02 21:16:11) GMs + engine vs amateur + engine However it would be interesting to know if Kasparov or any other strong OTB GM + strong engine would play significant better chess than an amateur + strong engine at cc time control. François Caire (2007-10-03 04:36:31) Kasparov vs the world http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1252350 Viktor Savinov (2007-10-03 12:13:26) CC Kasparov and other OTB GM's Hannes, I do not have information. Thibault de Vassal (2007-10-03 12:54:17) Kasparov vs the world The full & annotated story : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasparov_versus_The_World Hannes Rada (2007-10-03 19:49:56) Kasparov vs the World Thank you for the interesting link. It is quite an interesting game and when playing without further and depper analysing it looks like the World did a very good job, which should at least be sufficient for a draw. Thibault de Vassal (2007-10-21 01:36:54) Kasparov on Bill Maher After Kasparov's win on Colbert, Bill Maher was checkmated also :) http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=4194 http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=4191 Mikhail Ruzin (2007-11-25 20:51:40) Other Russia, Kasparov president ? Yes, of course. But, not now. =( 0-5 (much as it was Karpov-Kasparov) are still to come. More discussions about Other Russia, Kasparov president ?.
