Subject: The Kingston Files [no chess in it]
Since Taylor Kingston has written consecutively, posts challenging
everything he doesn't quite understand, and has to invent what other people
say 7 TIMES in 4 weeks - while presenting no chessic evidence for anything
whatever - I celebrate him! How difficult this is to get away with!

If Kingston wants to post what Kasparov wrote in the same year I interviewed
Taimanov, then let us see if GK improves on Taimanov. If not, if there is
only more opinionating with the usual lack of presented evidence, let us
hear no more at all!

For 6 years I have been receiving Vaguer Kingston's protests. This includes
30 e-mails with no chess in whatsoever which he now 'can't recall' he even
sent. Guess what they were about? Other people who did have 'chess in'!

His latest idiocy, the 7th in 4 weeks, is to invent yet another 'fact' then
challenge me to disprove what he cannot say himself.

The latest issue is to do with the Fischer - Taimanov game 3, and I assert
that Taimanov said Kasparov [or anyone else - not even a supercomputer]
hadn't solved it at the time of the 2004 interview. Taimanov lays out two
lines for black at 22. These are the critical lines that need address, and
in chessic terms, not in opinions.

If Taylor Kingston thinks he understand from Kasparov addresses to these
lines, please let him post them here - then we will see if GK solved them at
all. I already posted Taimanov's analysis of both.

If Taylor Kingston doesn't understand the challenge, and wants to talk
'about' the analysis, as he did with Fischer's 'analysis', then 'Hochberg's'
then shall we assume it is more of the same type?

I don't care to win anything here, since I do not even represent my own
opinion. Taimanov issued the statement and I should like to understand if
anyone contacted and solved the issue - I should like to understand in
chessic terms - and this is what I wrote at the start of this disreputable
dialog with Vaguer Kingston.

You're really mixed up, Phil. All I've said is that I believe

**What does ' beleive mean?

Fischer did indeed do what Hochberg reported in the footnote, which
was this:

"In New York after the match, Fischer said 'This was the turning
point of the match. Taimanov missed a win with 20.Q-R3.' -- ed."

In other words, I believe that Fischer said this, and that he said
it in New York, after the Taimanov match was over. I do not consider
Hochberg a saint, though he did have a good reputation.

The correct word is provenance, Phil.

It would seem to me that the main responsibility to follow through
was Fischer's. It was Fischer who made the claim that 20.Qh3 would

As I have already said, Phil, I will be happy to supply Kasparov's
analysis from MGP4, just as soon as you either: (A) show us where, as
you claimed, he changed his opinion about 20.Qh3, or (B) admit here
that you actually know of no such other opinion.

"Paraphrase"?? Phil, I have quoted you verbatim on this several
times. Let's try again:

TK: I tend to agree with Kasparov that this win is a myth.

PI: **That is /not/ Kasparov's opinion. Do you have some evidence
that it is to support your statement? I rather think that Garry is
persuaded otherwise.

> But why is Kingston /interested/ in something

Because it shows you lying, Phil. You have nothing to support your
claim of "That is /not/ Kasparov's opinion." You don't know Kasparov's
opinion from your elbow. You're flim-flamming, trying to sound more
knowledgeable than you really are, and I enjoy calling you on it.
That's why I'm interested in this. I don't care what it's "strakly
[sic] different" from. You said what you said. Now either prove it, or
admit you were wrong.

But Phil, that's *_exactly_* what you did. I presented Kasparov's
opinion, published in 2004, and you said "That is /not/ Kasparov's
opinion."

> I challenge whether
> his analysis resolves the issue, 'that a win is a myth'.

There you go, shifting ground again. I say "Kasparov believes X."
You reply "Kasparov does /not/ believe X." When I say "Prove it," you
then say "What I said is that X is false." Not at all the same thing.

> Now - I wrote that
> over a week ago.

No, Phil, you wrote "That is /not/ Kasparov's opinion" on September
12, 2008. Today is September 17, 2008. Last I checked, weeks have more
than 5 days. In any event, the date of your statement is completely
irrelevant to its truth or falsehood.

Haven't changed anything, Phil. I've just been hammering you with
the same question over and over. And you have failed to answer.

The only person here who seems not to understand my point is you,
Phil.

Now you're saying you never wrote "That is /not/ Kasparov's
opinion"?? Phil, it's a matter of public record, plain as day. This is
not "1984", where you can eliminate inconvenient facts by decree.

> **Kingston claimed Fischer had analysis.

I made no such claim. In fact, I said the opposite.

> You claimed Hochberg was irreproachable,

I said no such thing. I merely said he had a good reputation.

> and he reported the analysis.

I never said any such thing. In fact, I said that to my knowledge,
Fischer's analysis of 20.Qh3 was never published in CL&R.

> Neither existed.

Well waddya know, Phil finally says something we can agree on. But
tell us, Phil, why have you felt compelled to LIE about what I
actually wrote? Apparently you think that not only can you eliminate
unpleasant facts by fiat, but that you can also call new "facts" into
existence, like Glendower calling spirits from the vasty deep.

Yes, I do. Wanna see it? You know whatcha gotta do.

,

Boy, Phil, once you start making shit up, you can't stop. I think
highly of Taimanov as an analyst. I also think highly of Zinfandels
from the Dry Creek region of Sonoma County. It's just that neither is
very relevant to the matter of this new opinion you've claimed
Kasparov has.

> then no wonder he can't understand that Kasparov's analysis must address
> Taimanov's in order to prove/refute anything.

Phil, we're not talking about proving/refuting Kasparov or Taimanov
here. We're talking about proving/refuting *_Innes._* Got it now?

As I have already said, Phil, I will be happy to supply Kasparov's
analysis from MGP4, just as soon as you either: (A) show us where, as
you claimed, he changed his opinion about 20.Qh3, or (B) admit here
that you actually know of no such other opinion.

**Dear Kingston,

**What you would be happy to do is prevaricate. You do this by supposing on
what others mean, including your new GUFFAW of 'he changed his opinion'.

**You yesterday, after 20 posts on this subject admitted indifference to
Taimanov's analysis. You do not feel that Kasparov needs answer that, and
you reserve whatever he did answer. Previously you volunteeted Fischer's
opinion, with Hochberg to 'substantiate it.' That also is a bust.

**If you do not understand what I put before you, then stop challenging it,
unless you are completely sure you want to demonstrate your own dumbth as
you have in the face of other strong players, where you prefer to infer. You
may not know it, but you achieved a certain reputation this way!

**Do not paraphrase me further, especially if you, as you continue to do,
excerpt the context. That is cheap cheating crap, and as above, you are
marked for it! Do you not understand this Vaguer?

**If you got something come with it or shut up. Get it?

"Paraphrase"?? Phil, I have quoted you verbatim on this several
times.

**ROFL - but not HERE!

Let's try again:

**Let's not. Since Kingston is not interested in Taimanov's chessic
analysis! He prefers to allude to what Kasparov said, whether or not it
related to Taimanov's analysis.

TK: I tend to agree with Kasparov that this win is a myth.

PI: **That is /not/ Kasparov's opinion. Do you have some evidence
that it is to support your statement? I rather think that Garry is
persuaded otherwise.

> But why is Kingston /interested/ in something
> that is strakly different from what he admits I wrote below?

Because it shows you lying, Phil. You have nothing to support your
claim of "That is /not/ Kasparov's opinion." You don't know Kasparov's
opinion from your elbow.

**SWAMI KINGSTON! What a fucking numbskull we got here! HOW can Kingston
know that? He just hates the idea of it, no? So he must talk about my elbow
instead of chess analysis. That is the measure of this guy - he HATES these
connections.

You're flim-flamming, trying to sound more
knowledgeable than you really are, and I enjoy calling you on it.
That's why I'm interested in this. I don't care what it's "strakly
[sic] different" from. You said what you said. Now either prove it, or
admit you were wrong.

**I said wot I said! doh! I said if Kingston can offer anything TWENTY posts
later, then he would have. But he don't. ;) He tried Fischer, then he tried
Hochberg, then he tries Fischer wasn't bust, and now he AVOIDS actual
analysis.

**This is EXACTLY what he did with Larry Evans - first praising him for his
Botvinnik analysis, then on becoming resentful his praise should not
continue in Chess Life [anyone here want to read Kingston's non-analytic

But Phil, that's *_exactly_* what you did. I presented Kasparov's
opinion, published in 2004, and you said "That is /not/ Kasparov's
opinion."

**Sorry - but you are stupid. You do not understand the English as she is
wrote. What was Kasparov's opinion at the time of the Taimanov interview -
tell me that, Kingston? Otherwise, don't tell me what I know, since I think
you know absolutely nothing whatever, and though you represent opinions, you
don't understand them in this instance any more than you did contra-Evans.

> I challenge whether
> his analysis resolves the issue, 'that a win is a myth'.

There you go, shifting ground again. I say "Kasparov believes X."
You reply "Kasparov does /not/ believe X."

**Spare me further 'Xs'; YOU SAY Kasparov resolved something, and that is
all you say. You do not demonstate he resolved shit.

When I say "Prove it," you
then say "What I said is that X is false." Not at all the same thing.

*Quite!


> Now - I wrote that
> over a week ago.

No, Phil, you wrote "That is /not/ Kasparov's opinion" on September
12, 2008. Today is September 17, 2008.

**AND i repeated it a week ago. OK sleezy? COME ON KINGSTON, refute me,
refute Taimanov! Don't just go about it like a frightened virgin, where's
the beef?

**There is no more chess in this message as there has been of any refutation
of anything in the past 20 Kingston has issued. He is apparently still
employed as a chess editor of 'Chesscafe' where he edits such as Jerry
Spinrad, who is of similar philosophy.


Last I checked, weeks have more
than 5 days. In any event, the date of your statement is completely
irrelevant to its truth or falsehood.

Haven't changed anything, Phil. I've just been hammering you with
the same question over and over. And you have failed to answer.

The only person here who seems not to understand my point is you,
Phil.

Now you're saying you never wrote "That is /not/ Kasparov's
opinion"?? Phil, it's a matter of public record, plain as day. This is
not "1984", where you can eliminate inconvenient facts by decree.

> **Kingston claimed Fischer had analysis.

I made no such claim. In fact, I said the opposite.

> You claimed Hochberg was irreproachable,

I said no such thing. I merely said he had a good reputation.

> and he reported the analysis.

I never said any such thing. In fact, I said that to my knowledge,
Fischer's analysis of 20.Qh3 was never published in CL&R.

> Neither existed.

Well waddya know, Phil finally says something we can agree on. But
tell us, Phil, why have you felt compelled to LIE about what I
actually wrote?

**I tell you what KINGSTON - LET ME PUBLISH WHAT YOU ACTAULLY WROTE - you
agree? I will publish your e-mails on a parallel subject, and then your
MOUTH can motor on defending all 30 of them from all-comers, and the ONLY
reason I have not done so before is because you will likely be sued. But let
me know, huh?

**In the above, Kingston contests that his hero Hochberg may have not acted
on actual information from Fischer, yet published something anyone,
suggestive that he was! Of course, these are my words, and Kingston's words
were merely suggestive that Fischer and Byrne had something. Kingston again
has nothing whatever to support himself = so decides I have told a "LIE".

**What a numbskull!

Apparently you think that not only can you eliminate
unpleasant facts by fiat, but that you can also call new "facts" into
existence, like Glendower calling spirits from the vasty deep.

> Kasparov's
> analysis does exist - and Kingston actyually has it.

Yes, I do. Wanna see it? You know whatcha gotta do.

**?? I would say that that is a severe 'duck'. But if Kingston means 'suck'
then I ain't the type.


> But since he can't
> understand what I am saying, and dismisses Taimanov as analyst entirerely,

Boy, Phil, once you start making shit up, you can't stop.

**YOU JUST SAID SO. You just said you didn't care for Taimanov's analysis!

I think
highly of Taimanov as an analyst. I also think highly of Zinfandels
from the Dry Creek region of Sonoma County.

**Ok - that is a redefinition of 'care' from Kingston, himself a Zinfandel
Californian.

It's just that neither is
very relevant to the matter of this new opinion you've claimed
Kasparov has.

> then no wonder he can't understand that Kasparov's analysis must address
> Taimanov's in order to prove/refute anything.

Phil, we're not talking about proving/refuting Kasparov or Taimanov
here. We're talking about proving/refuting *_Innes._* Got it now?

**I understand that you don't understand shit about chess, but I do
understand you need to challenge those who do, by normal methods, which have
to do with chessic analysis. That you do not do so, or understand the need
of it, is your demonstrated intelligence quotient of discussing chess - with
me, and with very much stronger players than me.

Translation: Phil shot his mouth off when he didn't know what he was
talking about, and now he's trying to cover up with bluster and
nonsense. Just as I expected; he's done this many times before. There
is no Kasparov opinion different from what he wrote in MGP4, or if
there is, Innes sure as hell doesn't know what it is.

> Kingston can't even /understand the
> challenge/ to address Taimanov's analysis.

I'm not interested in challenging Taimanov's analysis. My point
really has nothing to do with Taimanov, except that he happened to
play the game in question.
I'm interested in ***__Phil Innes' justification for his bizarre
claim that what Kasparov wrote in MGP4 is somehow not really
Kasparov's opinion.__*** That is what Phil wrote here on 12 September.
I quote directly:

TK: I tend to agree with Kasparov that this win is a myth.

PI: **That is /not/ Kasparov's opinion. Do you have some evidence
that it is to support your statement? I rather think that Garry is
persuaded otherwise.

I immediately challenged Phil to produce some tangible support for
this claim, something that shows "Garry is persuaded otherwise" than
what he wrote on page 387 of My Great Predecessors, vol. 4. Since then
Phil has produced nothing but noise, even making the ridiculous claim
that Kasparov's real opinion was somehow contained in the Taimanov
analysis.

Phil used to be in the habit of telling people to "own their own
words." He seems clearly intent on not owning his own words "That is /
not/ Kasparov's opinion." Yet another wild Innes claim that will
wither and die from lack of nutrition. Phil, how can you treat your
verbal offspring that way?

Kasparov's opinion.__*** That is what Phil wrote here on 12 September.
I quote directly:

**Another hapless paraphrase! But why is Kingston /interested/ in something
that is strakly different from what he admits I wrote below?

his analysis resolves the issue, 'that a win is a myth'. Now - I wrote that
over a week ago. Meanwhile the idiotic Taylor Kingston has changed what he

**As before - Kingston is not worth engaging unless he can say what he is

end of time, and then challenge people who never wrote them to what they

**Taimanov's analysis is the definitive challenge to this position - and
Kasparov dealt with that or not. It doesn't matter to me if Taylor Kingston
thinks Taimanov is of little interest except he played the game.

then no wonder he can't understand that Kasparov's analysis must address
Taimanov's in order to prove/refute anything.

**It is within Kingston's power to actually demonstrate that - but of
course, if he just trots out Garry's stuff, does it address all the critical
lines? And all the critical lines are in Taimanov's book - most of them
represented in the Lessons Learned article at Chessville. Surely Garry had
access to Taimanov's work, since Garry published in 2004, and he could have
read Taimanov's analysis in 1993. [hint] Both GK and MT being good friends
with the publisher.
