not at all they do …
not at all they do have memorized probably everything. especially bobby fisher but didnt play off of memorization. the used it to make something new. listen to how they both speak aobut interview even bobby fischer said chess is dead now becuase player play off of nothing but memorization.
April 2nd, 2009 at 6:55 pm
Are you suggesting …
Are you suggesting that Bobby Fischer and this Waitzkin kid didn’t have expansive repertoires of openings many plies deep? You’ll have to forgive my dubiousness, dude.
April 2nd, 2009 at 6:55 pm
not really all …
not really all those other guys you mentioned simply have very good memories and play off of memorization. It was much different for bobby fischer and josh.. and you can see it in their playing style. open you mind dude.
April 2nd, 2009 at 6:55 pm
It is a shame that …
It is a shame that Fischer never got to play Kasparov, the best ever in the chess world.

In chessmaster 9000 …
In chessmaster 9000 is also his chess game tutorials or just game analyses. He has said it’s just amazing to win a grandmaster when he was 10 especially for his father was very proud of him. He said he had wonderful experience to playing chess and now he just quit.

Buy the game ” …
Buy the game “Chessmaster” (10th or Grandmaster Edition). he has recorded annotations for some interesting games of his, that you can see in the game.

Josh is a very cool guy..

GM is just a title, …
GM is just a title, you have to make norms that only FIDE understand to achieve it. He smashed a lot of GMs even as a 11yr boy. He has the strengh but not the norms, thats it
April 2nd, 2009 at 6:55 pm
his tutorials …
his tutorials weren’t very helpful…
April 2nd, 2009 at 6:55 pm
it, not is
it, not is

I was talking about …
I was talking about the cover of a popular chess program. I didn’t think is necessary to specifically omit mediocre professional chess players.
April 2nd, 2009 at 6:55 pm
you said ” …
you said “professional chess players”, not every professional chess player is a grandmaster, let alone a so-called super-grandmaster, like all the players you mentioned by name. of course Waitzkin has never been nearly as strong as they are and I’m not questioning *that*
April 2nd, 2009 at 6:55 pm
Correction: as you …
Correction: as you inferred on your own. I didn’t “make it sound” one way or the other. Moreover, I just picked that Magnus kid out of my . The comment would be just as valid if I’d mentioned any Grand Master. My point was that JW has no business being on the cover of a Chess Program. Vishy Anand, Magnus C., Kramnik, Judit Polgar etc… do.
April 2nd, 2009 at 6:55 pm
but Magnus is a …
but Magnus is a genius – not quite your average professional chess player, as you made it sound
April 2nd, 2009 at 6:55 pm
he won competitions …
(I do not comment on his attitude since I don’t know him)
he won competitions in Tai Chi, not in brazilian jiu-jitsu – there’s hardly two more different martial arts
April 2nd, 2009 at 6:55 pm
lol btw sorry for …
lol btw sorry for calling josh a clown, he certainly isn’t, i respect him highly, its just that i heard interviews with bobby where he was mad about the release of searching for bobby fischer b/c he wasnt getting any money for it
April 2nd, 2009 at 6:55 pm
mayb the gm was on …
mayb the gm was on coke, it seems hard to believe that a person who had a rating of 2400+ just didnt want to be a GM.. he was obviously involved in chess, my view is he wasnt good enough..
April 2nd, 2009 at 6:55 pm
i agree. gm is a gm …
i agree. gm is a gm no matter what.
