After a long trip to meet my old chess friends, I came back home. The trip was very interesting. I didn't have enough time to meet everybody I intended to visit, but mainly, my trip was successful. That trip awakened my memories on my long trips to the East when I was young. One of the nicest trip was visiting fantastic towns Samarkand and Bukhara. These towns were on the "silky way" and I enjoyed in looking at beautiful clothings of their inhabitants and listening stories about Tamerlane, Mongol warrior from 14th and 15th century. When my country was popular in the world, decades ago, our people worked in different countries. It's interesting that in that friendly country the hotel in which I spent some days was built by people from my country. In one park I saw people playing chess and many spectators. I wished success to these players and to show west countries incredible depth of eastern mind and tradition, which maybe never be appreciated enough in west countries. Maybe people from the west, will never visit these fantastic towns and know its priceless values. One of the last intellectual connection between East and West is chess. Here is one "precious stone" from Uzbekistan, Rustam Kasimdzhanov and some his games: Smejkal,J (2526) - Kasimdzhanov,R (2603) [E63] Bundesliga 9900 Germany (1), 09.10.1999 1.Nf3 g6 2.c4 Bg7 3.d4 Nf6 4.g3 0-0 5.Bg2 d6 6.0-0 Nc6 7.Nc3 a6 8.h3 Bd7 9.Be3 Rb8 10.Rc1 b5 11.b3 bxc4 12.bxc4 Na5 13.Nd5 Rb2 14.Qd3 Rxa2 15.Nxf6+ Bxf6 16.Bh6 Re8 17.e4 Ra4 18.e5 Bh8 19.Rfe1 Bf5 20.Qe2 c5 21.g4 Bc8 22.dxc5 dxc5 23.Ng5 Bg7 24.Bxg7 Kxg7 25.Ne4 Qc7 26.Nf6 Rd8 27.Nd5 Qa7 28.Rc3 Be6 29.h4 h6 30.h5 g5 31.f4 Bxd5 32.Bxd5 e6 33.Bg2 gxf4 34.g5 hxg5 35.h6+ Kh8 36.Qh5 Qe7 37.Rd1 Rd4 0-1 Georgiev,V (2519) - Kasimdzhanov,R (2603) [E70] Bundesliga 9900 Germany (4), 07.11.1999 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Bd3 0-0 6.Nge2 Nc6 7.0-0 Nh5 8.Be3 e5 9.d5 Ne7 10.Qd2 f5 11.exf5 gxf5 12.Ng3 Nf6 13.f4 Ng4 14.fxe5 Nxe3 15.Qxe3 Bxe5 16.Qg5+ Kh8 17.Rf3 Bd7 18.Raf1 Ng6 19.Qxd8 Raxd8 20.Nxf5 Bxc3 21.bxc3 Ne5 22.g4 Nxf3+ 23.Rxf3 Rde8 24.Kf2 a6 25.Rf4 Re5 26.h4 h5 0-1 Kasimdzhanov (2680) - Bareev (2734) [D18] 33rd Bosnian Sarajevo BIH (2), 19.05.2003 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 dxc4 5.a4 Bf5 6.e3 e6 7.Bxc4 Bb4 8.0-0 Nbd7 9.Qe2 Bg4 10.h3 Bxf3 11.Qxf3 0-0 12.Rd1 Rc8 13.e4 e5 14.Be3 Qa5 15.Na2 Bd6 16.Nc3 exd4 17.Bxd4 Ne5 18.Qe2 Rfe8 19.Ba2 Bc5 20.f4 Rcd8 21.Bxc5 Qxc5+ 22.Kh2 Ng6 23.g3 Nd5 24.Nxd5 cxd5 25.e5 Ne7 26.Rac1 Qb4 27.Qb5 Qe4 28.Bb1 Qe3 29.Kg2 a6 30.Qd3 Qxd3 31.Bxd3 Rc8 32.b4 g6 33.b5 a5 34.b6 Kf8 35.Bb5 Red8 36.Kf3 Nf5 37.Kf2 Ke7 38.g4 Ng7 39.Ke3 d4+ 40.Ke4 Ne6 41.Rxc8 Rxc8 42.Rf1 f6 43.exf6+ Kxf6 44.f5 gxf5+ 45.Rxf5+ Ke7 46.Rh5 Rd8 47.Rxh7+ Kf6 48.Rh6+ Ke7 49.Rh5 Rd6 50.Bc4 d3 51.Bxe6 Rxe6+ 52.Kxd3 Rxb6 53.Rxa5 Rb3+ 54.Ke4 Rxh3 55.Rb5 Kf6 56.Kf4 1-0 Goran Tomic |
Please pardon the verbatim reposting of this message, which I would like to bring to your consideration..... After reviewing your posted games, and the considerable doscourse as to if you are (or, are not) an alter ego of Robert James Fischer, I would be honoured to engage you for a game in which the moves are posted to this forum. For my part, I plan to ignore the kibbitzers. Feel free to take the White pieces, and post your opening move. Otherwise, I move 1. e4. I am comfortable with the possibility of two games simultaneously (one each with White and Black). As a forewarning, I should let you know that I have studied chess on and off in my sparetime for years. Although I have an aversion to tournament playing conditions, I do regard myself as a fully capable player. In the style and intensity of my approach to our game, I won't manifest in any way a casual approach to the experience. If we are men of honour, then there is no need for any time rules; the goal is to play great chess, and to post when a firm decision as to each move has been made.
