Sep-20-14 Fischer vs Petrosian, 1971    coldsweat: It seems to me the fact that the score of the first half of the match was two and a half each, while the second half was 4-0, is at least suggestive that Fischer's illness had an impact.      Sep-12-14 Petrosian vs Fischer, 1971    coldsweat: Fischer's pivotal 20...Qd2 was premature and not completely thought out. Perhaps his illness had something to do with this.      Sep-11-14 Fischer vs Petrosian, 1971    coldsweat: I guess one reason computers do better than humans is that they don't become emotional and fixated about getting even in terms of material. It seems as though Petrosian in the middle and later parts of the game is driven by his desire to be even in terms of material, while he ...      Sep-06-14 Kasparov vs Deep Blue, 1996    coldsweat: I believe the next historically important man vs machine match will be one in which the machine includes robotics, optics and computer science. The competing machine would be a robot sitting in a chair on one side of the board. Its optics and robotics would be such that it would ...      Sep-06-14 Deep Blue vs Kasparov, 1996    coldsweat: Deep Blue played a wonderful game. Its move 32.Rc7 seemed to really cook Garry's goose. It was also quite esthetically pleasing, with white's aggressive but not overreaching knights. How excellent it was for Garry to accept this monumental match. Lesser men would have declined. ...      Sep-05-14 Kramnik vs Kasparov, 2000    coldsweat: Thanks Piewalker for your interesting presentation.      Sep-04-14 Alekhine vs Capablanca, 1927    coldsweat: It doesn't seem logical to me to believe that Jose underestimated his challenger. The striking characteristics of Alekhine's play were there to be seen in previous games. It doesn't seem logical to me to believe that Jose was more interested in playing bridge and romancing the ...      Sep-04-14 Alekhine vs Capablanca, 1927    coldsweat: There has been criticism of the continual use of Queen's Gambit opening, but it need not be bothersome. By always using the same opening moves, the players 1)get into the flow of the game 2)save precious time for difficult later situations 3)leap into the unknown from more ...      Sep-04-14 Capablanca vs Alekhine, 1927    coldsweat: Classic game, Alekhine outthinks the reigning champ.      Sep-03-14 Alekhine vs Capablanca, 1927    coldsweat: It's strange to read all the apologies for Capablanca. He was defeated by a more powerful chess mind in this particular game, and he was defeated by a more powerful chess mind in this particular match -- one of the great matches in history. This is a wonderful game to study. It ...
