Vladimirovich
Ну и как Вам конференция?

в тяжелой неравной борьбе с одноглазыми фанатами рэндома

и окончательно забить Эдвардса в данном принципиальном вопросе.

1. Где боретесь, Vladimirovich?

2. Какой бы была Ваша оценка конференции, если бы Александр дал развёрнутый ответ на Ваш вопрос? 

Посмотрела...

Вашу бы энергию, Vladimirovich, да в мирных целях классические шахматы...

Мне классические шахматы должны орден давать
За нашу победу!

Кстати, церковь выступает против игры в шахматы.

AFAIK это не соответствует действительности.

Ссылку в студию...

Один раз я ему сказала: «Миша, с тобой, наверное, лучше играть, когда ты выпивший». Обычно выпивший человек всегда хуже играет, и я хотела этим воспользоваться.
Но вообще в наших матчах побеждал Таль. Я сопротивлялась, выигрывала некоторые партии, но общий счет был в его пользу. Так вот, я хотела выиграть у него матч и поэтому сказала, что хочу сыграть с ним, когда он будет выпивший. Он сказал, что не против, и однажды я его подловила. Мы были на каком-то приеме в Англии, он выпил, и потом мы стали играть в блиц.
Это было бесподобно! Выпивший, он играл в блиц так, что близко нельзя подойти! Это я никогда не забуду, потому что его обычная игра – ничто по сравнению с тем, как он играл тогда! Играл блестяще, с жертвами, красиво.

Я ещё понимаю, она бы Мэри Поппинс изображала. А так ваще белиберда какая-то получается

Rdio Xadrez - How is your daily routine nowadays?
Henrique Mecking - As many people already know, I had a very serious disease, 33 years ago, and I'm almost cured. Nowadays I do simultaneous exhibitions, lectures and also teach, apart of playing international tournaments or rapid tournaments. Also, I run and practice the karate alone. Summing up, I have been preparing myself in chess. Few days ago, I launched a book about my best games [Henrique Mecking - The Chess of a Grandmaster] and this book will be sought by Brazilian chess players and will be published in other languages also. My first book, How Jesus Christ saved my life, is already in its sixth edition in Brazil and was published in the Romanian language. In the last five matches I played against Grandmasters, I didn't lose any, won three and drew two.


Campinas, Brazil, 2011 - Memorial Antonio Rocha
Rdio Xadrez - About the beginning of your career, when Brazil was under a dictatorial regime and you had the support of the government at the time, did you have the political conscience of this?
HM - Well, to begin answering this question, I loved chess. I had 18 years old, studying physics in college and invitations for tournaments came. I saw Grandmasters playing and I was eager to give up college, because I preferred chess rather than physics. Chess at that time was less developed in Brazil. So, there was no chance of my being exceptional in chess at that time. And I didn't live in So Paulo, where there is, naturally, the greatest economic potential of the country. Then, there were no practical chances for me to dedicate entirely to chess unless I had the support of someone strong. So he [Brazil's President at the time - General Mdici] gave me all the support to play chess, because he liked the sport very much.

Rdio Xadrez - In 2010 Chess Olympiad the Brazilian team had a very expressive result. Weren't you willing to be part of that team?
HM - Yes, but it was not possible for me to play. I have a plan for my life and nothing makes me deviate from this plan. To any invitation I have, I pray, and ask Jesus for an answer, acting according to the orientation he gives me.

Rdio Xadrez - What plan is it?
HM - I will be again one of the best players in the world. To God, everything is possible. Most people think I won't make it. The cure Jesus is giving me is progressive and I'm almost fine. In 1979, I was almost dying, couldn't chew, just ate liquid food, didn't have the power even to brush my teeth anymore, and today I'm almost cured and returning to chess. I'm 58 years old and, only by myself, I would never have the conditions to reach this level again. My age is only 10% of the obstacle. The rest of the disease I still have corresponds to 90% of reaching my goal. However, as soon as I'm totally cured, I believe I will be back on top. My rating will go up slowly and my strength of play will highly increase also.


Corus, 2009 - Holland
Rdio Xadrez - When you talk about being again one of the best players in the world, you mean playing at the level of players such as Carlsen, Kramnik and Topalov?
HM - Exactly. I was the third best player of the world. Many times, God wants to do thing no one believes, just for people to see that it was God that made it.

Rdio Xadrez - If we compare, for example, players that played at your time and still play nowadays, like Karpov and Korchnoi, they aren't really at the top 20 anymore...
HM - No, wait a minute. Korchnoi is 21 years older than me, so this comparison doesn't exist. Six years ago, more or less, Korchnoi still managed to win international tournaments and played some brilliant games, but he is 21 years older than me.

Rdio Xadrez - Your first return, in the South-American Zone Tournament, in 1993, wasn't as satisfactory as you wished?
HM - There was still some crisis from the disease at the time, as there still is today, but today's crisis are much weaker. The medicines I took were not enough to play, I was lost in almost every game. I lost 35 ELO points in that tournament, I couldn't play chess. I should have lost 50 points, there were three games that I would lose and, after perseveringly praying, Jesus saved me and I managed to draw. They were against Oscar Panno (ARG), Herman van Riemsdijk (BRA) and Jorge Egger (CHI).

Rdio Xadrez - This means that the other players prayed less than you did?
HM - Each person has its own faith. Jesus said ask and you shall receive, so I may ask. Naturally, Jesus gives what He wants. If He accepted all my wishes, I would already be the world champion.

Rdio Xadrez - But the wish to go back to the elite, did He accept? Going back to the world's top ten players?
HM - More than top-ten! This that you said is too modest. Wasn't I number three? Let's give a practical example, in any other sport, if a player stays out of it for a long period, like Ronaldinho in soccer, the struggle to reach the initial level is much higher, and he goes back in a level below he was before.

Rdio Xadrez - World's number 1 nowadays, Magnus Carlsen, has been playing very well. Are you going to overcome him?
HM - I'm not talking about Carlsen, Kramnik, Bareev or Vitiugov. I'm talking about everything as a whole. I'm a chess player committed with religion, I try to enhance my level in chess and look for holiness in religion. Chess must help religion and religion must help chess, they walk together.


The chess of a Grandmaster (book)
Rdio Xadrez - How do you turn faith into results? What method of preparation do you use?
HM - As I said, we may ask and Jesus gives the grace He wants. When I was almost dying, there was a lady who had the gift of cure, who prayed for me, but she herself died of cancer. It's the grace Jesus wants, not the one I want. If it depended on me, I would never be sick and would win all my games. I have aversion of losing chess games, I hate it!

Rdio Xadrez - What do you feel when you lose?
HM - A friend of mine said that there is a GM who suffers more than me when he loses, I was very happy to know that, I thought I was the one who suffered most. My desire is to switch off from everything, I don't want to think about the game, but many times I wake up thinking in the middle of the night, because I prepared for too much time and everything went wrong, I thought I would win the game and lost. There was an Argentine GM who said 'when someone takes a piece of mine is just as if someone stick a knife in my belly'. It's painful to do all that planning when nothing goes right.

Rdio Xadrez - Is there a special game for you?
HM - Right away, the three times I beat former world champions. Once I beat Mikhail Tahl and twice Vassily Smyslov (one with the white pieces and the other with black). Others I could say: the one which I beat GM Sergei Fedorchuk (UKR), that gave me the title of Lodi tournament, in Italy (2006); the game I won, with black, in 1976's Interzonal tournament, in Phillipines, against GM Vitaly Tseshkovsky (URS) – this game decided the places of the Interzonal.

Rdio Xadrez - Is it true a legend that people tell about you that, some time ago, when your opponent said I offer a draw, you answered I propose you resign?
HM - Yes, this was back in 1965, when I was 13 years old. The opponent was the experienced player Olcio Gadia, who was Brazilian Champion twice. The game had been suspended and he offered me a draw, but I think he was just making a joke, because he was already lost. Then I told him: 'I propose that you resign'. He really resigned. The papers of that time, in Rio de Janeiro, posted a photo of ours in the cover, with the phrase David beats Goliah.


Interview to Rdio Xadrez - Click here to watch
Rdio Xadrez - How was your relationship with the former champion Tigran Petrosian? Some say the rivalry between you was huge...
HM - Once, someone told me that entered in a chess club in Moscow and saw Petrosian showing his three games that he had outplayed me. I don't remember and don't want to remember, because things like there I prefer to forget. But someone told me he was saying that I left weaknesses in the white or black squares, I don't remember now. In one of these games, I refused to take the draw, because I had white and I wanted to win. In the fourth time I played against him, I had black and was already a Grandmaster, in 1975, and then I had a better position but got the draw.

Rdio Xadrez - Were there misunderstandings between you two, off the board?
HM - Nowadays I see things through the light of the Christian charity, so when people ask me about this, I prefer not to comment. Not so long ago, I was talking about the tournament I played in Holland, then I said this and that player were very polite with me and then someone asked and that one?”. Then, at the same time, I couldn't hold myself and laughed out loud, because the other player of whom my friend had asked was the one who disturbed me the most, not only me, but all the other players also. He did illegal things, out of the rules. He was the one who disturbed the most. But I prefer not to talk about these things.

Rdio Xadrez - Will you be the third place in world rankings one more time?
HM - Quite so. I hope that it will be a bit more. Everything is possible to God. What disturb my chess performance are my age and my disease. I asked to Jesus, many times, that he took off 15 years of my age and, nowadays, I ask something a little more difficult. Normally, when I shave, people give me much less years than I actually have. I believe Jesus will give me a worldwide evangelization mission and, to accomplish my task, it would be better that I was one of the best chess players in the world or even the better. And I'm waiting for it, my cure will come soon.

Rdio Xadrez - How old people say you are? 35?
HM - No! Not 35. I'm 58 years old and generally people give me about 43. Fifteen years less than I have, when I'm shaved.



Rdio Xadrez - What were your best results after you came back to the boards?
HM - At the Bled Olympiad, in Slovenia (2002), I won five games and drew three. Afterwards, in 2006, I won the Lodi tournament, in Italy, playing against four very strong Grandmasters: GM Evgeny Postny (ISR), GM Sergei Fedorchuk (UKR), GM Levente Vajda (ROM) and GM Constantin Lupulescu (ROM). I scored 3,5 points against them.

Rdio Xadrez - You were also Brazilian blitz champion on ICC. We know you play very well on that modality, have you beat any top player on the site?
HM - When you ask any GM about ICC, they don't usually like to answer, because some have secret accounts and others don't. So I would like to not comment on that.

Rdio Xadrez - But we have heard that you got to play against GM Hikaru Nakamura (USA), is that true? Do you know him?
HM - I know who he is.

Rdio Xadrez - And have you beat him on ICC?
HM - I'm sorry! But I cannot answer those questions. Although I was #1 on ICC for ten times, with the username Lorenzo, in honor of St. Lawrence, one of my guarding saints.

Rdio Xadrez - Which upcoming tournaments will you play to demonstrate that strength you intent to achieve?
HM - I'm not completely great yet, it will be something for the future, for when God wants it to be. I have a plan and that plan is to be completely cured first. I'm extremely busy preparing for Memorial Antonio Rocha, in Campinas, Brazil, and also doing simuls and releasing my book. I've been studying very hard, mas I have other stuff to do here where I live, like renewing my driver's license, which will expire at the end of the month, and other things I can't get away from.

Rdio Xadrez - Do you buy books about chess or is your collections already complete?
HM - We always have to use books or internet to see the best games. The book that I just published is very good and I think that it will be useful to GM's, MI's, medium-level players and beginners. There's a lot of good games on it, it's everything there.

Rdio Xadrez - Do you follow international competitions? Do you watch the greatest players' games?
HM - Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be able to play openings, middle games and endings. I'm really anxious, waiting for my recovery, and after that happens, it will be calmer to play. In 1970, I was a strong opponent, beat GM's game after game, and rarely lost, thanks goodness, because I hate losing. If I could get to that level again, it would be a God's blessing. The defeats will be rare.

Rdio Xadrez - Who is the best player in the world? Which one do you enjoy watching playing?
HM - I'm not the type that admires players. Any player with a style similar to Kasparov's is good in my opinion. Petrosian's style is not my type.


Rdio Xadrez - Why do people say women are not as good players as men? Why is there no woman at the world-wide top-100 rating?
HM - Because there is a bigger number of male players than female in all the countries.

Rdio Xadrez - But do female players play as good as male? You already had a draw game with the GM Judit Polgar (HUN), in a competition in Argentina (2001), and also lost a game to the GM Yifan Hou (CHN), on Corus Tournament (2009)…
HM - Yes, but I played badly against the Chinese. The game was good for me. There were people that criticized my game, my Spanish Opening. There's nothing to do with it, I was in a good position. I was tired, exhausted, worried about my defeats. I feared losing 25 points and get the last position at the tournament. When the situation is not good, you have to avoid losing points.

Rdio Xadrez - A listener sent us a question, about an interview of yours he read in a newspaper, saying you found a way of never losing, just drawing. Is it true?
HM - I don't remember this, but this is not possible. When you are playing against a Grandmaster, there is the chance of you losing. It's like being alive with the chance that you die.

Rdio Xadrez - So if both players play perfectly, will it be a draw or white outplay black because it has the first move?
HM - Of course that if black doesn't make any mistake, it will never lose. Playing with white does not guarantee victory.

Rdio Xadrez - You met GMs Levon Aronian (ARM) and Vassily Ivanchuk (UKR) in Holland? Is it true that Ivanchuk wanted to study chess with you?
HM - I talked a lot with Aronian in Holland, he treated me very well. With GM David Navara (CZE) also, we are friends, I send some e-mails to him sometimes. But with Ivanchuk, I already knew him. In this occasion that you mentioned, I was studying a line and he was walking with his second, GM Leon Hoyos (MEX), then I came to greet him, because I am very polite, and he thought that he could talk to me, but he couldn't because I was studying chess. I had a position on the board and I couldn't let him see it, so he couldn't enter in my bedroom.

Ivanchuk: I can still become World Champion

Here is a fantastic interview with Ivanchuk which was sent to me by Wesley So's family. Enjoy!

Vassily Ivanchuk: I can still become World Champion
By mishanp on February 5, 2011

Vassily Ivanchuk’s stunning win in Gibraltar reminded us all of his enormous chess talent, while his recent long interview with the Ukrainian Zaxid.net addressed the missing piece of the jigsaw – why is it that a genius like Ivanchuk has failed to mount a serious World Championship challenge?

Ivanchuk just won the strong Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival, conceding only two draws to finish on 9/10 with a 2968 performance. The win moves the brilliant but erratic Ukrainian grandmaster into 5th place on the live chess rating list.
Before the event began Ivanchuk was interviewed by Danilo Mokrik for Zaxid.net, and gave a frank and charming insight into his chess career and life. Although we’ve always guessed, for instance, that Ivanchuk is fanatical about chess and struggles with nerves, it’s a thrill to hear his own take on the situation. He reveals his continuing ambitions, and… well, only Ivanchuk could answer a question about the computerisation of chess by revealing how he became addicted to on-line checkers!

Vassily Ivanchuk: I can still become World Champion in classical chess

For more than 20 years now you’ve been in the absolute elite of world chess. During that time many of the players from your generation – and even those younger than you – have lost their place and been overshadowed, but you’ve held on at the top. What’s the secret?

Maybe it’s the fact that I still retain a great interest in chess – an interest at the level of fanaticism. I still find it interesting to sit and examine games, learn new openings and endeavour better to understand the peculiarities of my opponents’ styles. I still have the desire to fight, and perhaps ambitions that haven’t quite been satisfied. So I still feel I have the motivation I need to get ready again and again for a serious struggle.

Despite the fact that you’re no longer among the youngest of chess players, you still play a lot – no less than many of your younger colleagues. Don’t you get tired?

To be honest I am a little tired, and at the moment I feel I should play a little less – so that I’ll have time to acquire a reserve of nervous energy. Otherwise you get situations where at a certain moment your head simply switches off and your hand starts to make moves quickly. For a professional that’s unacceptable, but when you get tired that is, unfortunately, what happens.

So now you’re giving yourself a little more time to rest?

Yes, a little more, but that isn’t always beneficial. It matters what you do instead of playing. I feel the need for active recreation – I’ve even thought about buying myself skates and going ice-skating, and spending more time in the fresh air. There are still lots of beautiful places in Western Ukraine that I haven’t been to, like Morshin and Bukovel. I want, somehow, to spend my time more actively.

So how do you maintain your physical shape? That’s also important for a chess player…

When it’s warmer I play tennis. Otherwise I exercise, and sometimes go to the gym, though unfortunately not that often. I’m going to try to do that more frequently. I feel it’s necessary.

And how much time do you find to spend on chess?

It’s hard to say, because chess, and the way you train for it, is quite unusual. For example, it’s not even obligatory to sit at a computer or a chessboard. I can also walk in the park and analyse some important position in my head. Moreover, it’s by no means certain that working using such a method will have any less effect than if I sit at a computer. It depends much more on getting into a mental state that allows you to discover new ideas.

How do you feel about the fact that many chess players and commentators call you a genius?

It’s hard to say how I feel… Sometimes, perhaps, it gives me an extra incentive to put in more work, but at other times, as they say, success goes to your head. Then you don’t always objectively accept defeats, but instead think, “How’s that possible? How could I make such bad moves?” and I’m not always able to recover quickly.

In fact it’s not only about the games themselves, but also the time between games. For me the big problems are other things – waiting, getting butterflies in your stomach, expectation and nerves. For that reason, perhaps, it’s better for me to play in rapid chess tournaments which end after a day or two: you play 26 blitz games in one day, and that’s it – you can forget about it, like a nightmare, and start something else. But not all tournaments are arranged like that, and I also want to play classical chess – which means you have to prepare and withstand the tension between games. It’s particularly difficult when the tournament’s an important one, and it’s not going as well as you’d like.

.....Вы планируете написать книгу о своей шахматной карьере? В данный момент первая и последняя ваша книга – это сборник партий супертурнира в Линаресе 1991-го года…

Потом были ещё «Шахматные новеллы Василия Иванчука». Это не совсем моя книга, но создана не без моего участия. Там всё-таки больше материала про меня, чем в книжке про Линарес. Но это – пробный вариант. В перспективе я планирую сделать что-то более серьёзное, фундаментальное, с детальным разбором партий.

На это, конечно, придётся потратить немало времени. Я считаю, что такие исследования нужно делать без помощи компьютера, оставляя себе право на ошибку. Сейчас все могут подключить компьютер, но читателю интересно знать мысли самого гроссмейстера, его переживания, его колебания во время игры.

Е.СУРОВ: Кроме книг, какой досуг еще предпочитаете?

В.ИВАНЧУК: Разный. В театр могу пойти… Люблю просто погулять на свежем воздухе, пообщаться с интересными людьми, посидеть где-то в кафе. Что еще такого интересного… Иногда играю в большой теннис, иногда в бадминтон, иногда в пинг-понг. Если компания соберется, то могу и в футбол сыграть. Иногда слушаю музыку. Когда-то вообще монеты коллекционировал. У меня даже есть коллекция монет более чем восьмидесяти стран мира. Давно уже я этим не занимался, но когда-то такое хобби у меня было.

Е.СУРОВ: Вы заговорили о спорте. А спортом целенаправленно занимаетесь или от случая к случаю?

В.ИВАНЧУК: Нет, от случая к случаю. Ну, зарядку делаю для физической подготовки. Некоторые виды спорта люблю смотреть по телевизору – такие, например, как бокс, большой теннис. Иногда даже смотрю снукер, но реже.

Е.СУРОВ: А что вас в боксе привлекает?

В.ИВАНЧУК: Довольно большая, как ни странно, схожесть с шахматами. Все-таки борьба один на один; ринг по своей форме напоминает шахматную доску; если шахматисты при подготовке к партии смотрят поединки своих соперников, то боксеры, на высоком уровне особенно, смотрят перед боем видеозаписи боев противников, тоже намечают стратегию – с кем идти в ближний бой, кого клинчевать, и так далее.

Е.СУРОВ: Это поразительная мысль. Честно говоря, никогда не задумывался о сходстве шахмат с боксом.

В.ИВАНЧУК: Вообще, если так вдуматься, то шахматы по своей сути – индивидуальный вид спорта. Один на один. Значит, наиболее схожими с шахматами должны быть виды спорта, где тоже идет противостояние один на один. Это может быть бокс, это может быть теннис или пинг-понг. Это может быть фехтование. Логически я думаю, что фехтование по своей сути должно быть близко к шахматам. Но, к сожалению, я просто еще мало смотрел этот вид спорта. Как раз думаю начать смотреть – может, по телевизору, может, какие-нибудь видео найду в Интернете, скачаю, посмотрю.

Е.СУРОВ: Правильно ли я понимаю из ваших слов, что вы преимущественно готовитесь бороться против соперников, а не против фигур? Существует же два подхода. Ну, вы знаете прекрасно: многие великие шахматисты делились на тех, кто, как они говорили, борются только с фигурами, а есть те, которые борются с человеком.

Е.СУРОВ: Есть такое выражение «вся наша жизнь – игра». Вы его как понимаете?

В.ИВАНЧУК: Я долгое время, можно сказать, жил по этому сценарию. Потом мне попала в руки интересная довольно книга, в которой описывались модели жизни. Там было «жизнь – борьба», «жизнь – игра», «жизнь – театр», «жизнь – цирк», что-то еще. И дальше приводились характеристики людей, которые попадают под определенную категорию. И я начал читать. Прочитал модель жизни «игра», понял, что очень во многом совпадает мой портрет с тем, что там написано. И я решил, что этого все-таки недостаточно, и надо добавить какую-то еще категорию. Перечитал другие, и мне понравилось восприятие жизни «жизнь – цирк». И тогда многие вещи, которые я раньше воспринимал серьезно или даже слишком серьезно, я стал воспринимать с юмором. То есть, я начал смеяться над ними, и мне стало значительно легче. Так что, мне удалось объединить игру и цирк.

Е.СУРОВ: Я прочитал, что в 2007-м году вы женились. Во второй раз, как я понимаю.

В.ИВАНЧУК: В 2006-м, насколько я помню. 18 ноября.

Е.СУРОВ: Вы помните дату свадьбы…

В.ИВАНЧУК: Ну, в общем-то, у меня не такая плохая память все-таки… Дату с довольно важным событием в своей жизни я запомнил.

Е.СУРОВ: Ваша нынешняя супруга не из шахматного мира?

В.ИВАНЧУК: Нет.

Е.СУРОВ: А как вы, Василий, относитесь к умным женщинам?

В.ИВАНЧУК: К умным женщинам? С уважением.

Е.СУРОВ: А вы их знаете?

В.ИВАНЧУК: Умных женщин? Довольно много.

Е.СУРОВ: Много, по-вашему?

В.ИВАНЧУК: Да.

Е.СУРОВ: Вы умеете отличать умную женщину от не очень умной?

В.ИВАНЧУК: Так, чтобы глянул и отличил – нет. Для этого, я считаю, надо с человеком пообщаться на разные темы, тогда можно сделать вывод.

—Передаю вопрос от болельщика. Как найти и не потерять вкус к игре в шахматы?
—Знаете, вкус к шахматам — это, своего рода, любовь... И кто может дать ответ на вопрос, как найти или как не потерять эту любовь,— я не знаю.

Михаил ГОЛУБЕВ, газета «Команда»

Е.СУРОВ: Ну что ж, это был Сергея Долматов, который предсказал, что через десять лет шахмат может не быть.

С.ДОЛМАТОВ: Нет, я не это хотел предсказать! Любительские шахматы будут всегда, а я говорил о профессиональных – что с ними будет, непонятно. Может быть, будет какое-то видоизменение – шахматы Фишера, например, или что-то еще. Может, не через десять, а через двадцать лет. Но то, что шахматы приближаются к своему концу, благодаря компьютерам – это точно совершенно. Точно так же, как, например, человек проходит свое развитие: детство, молодость, старость, потом умирает. То же самое происходит с любой вещью. В том числе с игрой, в том числе с шахматами. Но компьютер стал жутким катализатором процесса. Если бы люди просто играли в шахматы без компьютеров, потребовалось бы еще, может быть, сто лет. Но компьютеры чудовищно ускорили процесс развития и гибели нашей игры. А гибель произойдет. Это философия, это диалектика просто. Так же, как произойдет и гибель человечества, гибель Земли. Это тоже неизбежно.

Е.СУРОВ: Вот на такой пессимистичной все-таки ноте мы и закончим.

С.ДОЛМАТОВ: Ну, я не считаю, что это пессимистично, но неважно.

Е.СУРОВ: То, что все когда-нибудь закончится?

С.ДОЛМАТОВ: Это не пессимизм. Когда что-то заканчивается, то всегда расчищается площадка для чего-то нового. Когда мы что-то теряем, мы всегда переживаем. На самом деле, ведь освобождается место для чего-то. Природа не терпит пустоты, она создает что-то новое на этом месте.

Я лично очень люблю фишеровские шахматы

а где  комментарии нащот

....но вводить такие крупные перемены в игру пока что рано. Предложение выбрать 5-10 позиций из фишеровских шахмат и использовать их в супер-турнирах, а в обычных турнирах оставить всё как есть – хорошее.
