Thibault de Vassal (2006-05-28 01:06:10) Other quotes by famous chess players "I really believe that Go is destined to take the place of Chess as the leading intellectual game of the Occident, just as it has reigned supreme in the Orient for some four thousand years." - Edward Lasker, Go and Go-Moku, c. 1934 "While the Baroque rules of chess could only have been created by humans, the rules of go are so elegant, organic, and rigorously logical that if intelligent life forms exist elsewhere in the universe, they almost certainly play go." - Edward Lasker, international chess master "You don't have to be really good anymore to get good results. What's happening with Chess is that it's gradually losing its place as the par excellence of intellectual activity. Smart people in search of a challenging board game might try a game called Go." - Hans Berliner, The New York Times, Feb 6, 2003 "... {it is} something unearthly ... If there are sentient beings on other planets, then they play Go." - Emanuel Lasker, chess world champion Poulerik Jorgensen (2007-08-28 19:26:24) Denmark Gm Sune Berg Hansen champ 3yrs in a row. Andrew Stephenson (2007-09-21 20:34:37) Tie Breaks Thansk for the reply Thibault. on the delay front I think it would be less than 6 months maybe 1 or 2 months. First the effect of this delay would impact on only very few top players in completing the final stages. Overall the quantity of chess games and opportunities would be unaffected as new championships start every 6 months so the amount of playing is the same. Second "If tournament entry ratings are equal, ratings when the next stage begins will be taken in account." Ok this will be rare but you cannot really be saying that a match would be decided perhaps 1 or 2 months after completion when the next rating is done? Third "The special rule, at least, force one player to avoid it." yes but it didn't did it? You took the 4 draws in 15 moves because you had too many games and your opponent was a strong player! My point is not about the unfairness of the rule Thibault its the effect of it - in this case 4 identical 15 move draws is not a good advert for the site, the World Championship FICGS or the players. Thibault de Vassal (2008-01-08 00:50:55) Incomes of top Go players One more interesting article from the IGN "Goama" newsletter - http://gogame.info Incomes of Top Korean Professionals in 2007: 1. Lee Sedol - $600.000 2. Lee Changho - $400.000 3. Park Yeonghun - $360.000 4. Cho Hanseung – $180.000 5. Kang Dongyun - $150.000 6. Mok Jinseok -$148.000 7. Lee Yeongku -$122.000 8. Won Sungjin -$116.000 9. Yun Junsang - $113.000 10. Kim Jiseok – $113.000 Japanese players, even who is not famous on international arena, makes more money, but it's still hard to compare their tournament incomes with top football or hockey players. Maybe better to compare chess and Go players: "As sports go, chess is not lucrative for the average professional. The well known top players who have been able to achieve millionaire status (Karpov and Kasparov) are the exceptions. Aside from them, there are only about 20 players world wide who do well financially from chess ($100,000+ per year income), and another 100 or so that make a comfortable living ($50,000+). The next 1,000 players, on average, come out about even -- earning in prizes what they incur in entry fees and expenses. Then come perhaps 10,000 players who invest several thousand dollars more per year than they earn." -- from "GM RAM: Essential Grandmaster Knowledge" by Rashid Ziatdi and Peter Dyson, PROChess LLC, New York, 1998 Peter Unger (2008-01-16 18:55:43) Strange rules Hi Thibault, my chessbase says this: FICGS__CHESS__WCH_STAGE_2_GROUP_04__0000 2007 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 Unger,Peter 2086 +181 * 1 ½ 1 ½ 0 1 4.0/6 11.00 2 Mueller,Robert 2194 +55 0 * 1 ½ ½ 1 1 4.0/6 9.75 3 Benitez,Ryan 2106 +158 ½ 0 * ½ 1 1 1 4.0/6 9.25 4 Johansson,Mats 2309 -140 0 ½ ½ * ½ 1 1 3.5/6 5 Repa,Jason 2232 -109 ½ ½ 0 ½ * ½ 1 3.0/6 6 Moreira,Jose 2327 -278 1 0 0 0 ½ * 1 2.5/6 7 Toutaoui,Khaled 1715 -306 0 0 0 0 0 0 * 0.0/6 Where can I be informed about the rules?

Best regards Peter Unger Hannes Rada (2008-05-14 22:04:53) Opening Favorites and taboos in cc chess It's quite interesting to look at the top level cc - player's opening favorites. Against 1.e4: Almost everybody is playing Sicilian, Sveshnikov and Najdorf No more Dragon oder other Sicilian lines seems to be playable at top level. 1.... e6 (French) and 1....c6 Caro Kann are rarely played. A little bit more frequently is 1....e5. But I think that also the old Ruy Lopez is not really popular among the cc cracks. Against 1.d4: Here seems to be more diversity: But I think The Slav is definitely the most popular Black's defense, followed by Nimzo Indian, Kings Indian and Queens Gambit. Benoni and Wolga Gambit seems to be dead here. What do you think, is there no more space for French, Caro Kann and Aljechin Defense in todays cc practice ? Is Dutch and Modern Benoni no longer playable ? In the sixties Hans Berliner won the ICCF championship with Aljechin Defense Normajean Yates (2008-11-06 03:35:52) re-opening topic: to Rada "In the sixties Hans Berliner won the ICCF championship with Aljechin Defense" - well I was - I still am - a Berliner fan [I like his harmless eccentricities also], but there were no *engines* then to speak of!
