I have a question regarding the use of computers as analysis in
correspondence games (for those tourneys not allowing computers).

I recently played an over-the-board game (which I drew, by the way)
in which my opponent played an unorthodox move in an opening (the 
Polugaevsky Najdorf) which I felt should be punishable with correct
play (I've never seen *anyone* play this, or even mention it in any
of the books I have on this system, including Polu's own (the German
version, if that matters)).  Naturally, being a fish, I was unable to 
discover said punishment over the board (hence the draw).

When I returned home, I put the position on my computer and with its
aid exhaustively analysed it, and recorded the computer's "recomendations"
for further study (and so that I don't ever have to go thru that
excruciating process again!).  

Foregoing the questionable merit of taking the computer's "reccomendations"
as gospel (for me, at any rate, to play as well as my computer would be
a jump), I would have absolutely *no* objections to using this analysis
in a future OTB game (if I could ever memorize it!); one is allowed to 
use whatever memorized/prepared material one wishes in an OTB game.  However,
I am not sure as to the legality of using the analysis that I wrote
down in a future correspondence game, should the variation ever come up.

Is it justifiable simply because I would not be using the computer 
at the time of the game?  Yet, were I to use the computer then, its analysis
would not have changed, so is it not the same thing?  Or could I just use
the analysis that I wrote down as long as I didn't refer back to the
computer during the game if my opponent deviated from it?

In general, I'm iffy about the whole prospect, but stuck because I
now have at least a general idea of what to do if such a position
ever arises again, simply by virtue of having spent so much time
using the computer.  Yet, all of my "improvements" are computer
generated!

Any ideas on this dilemna would be greatly appreciated! 

Thanx very much.

Interesting idea, especially that Geller has a positive score against Fischer.
It would be an interesting test of Fischer's courage (although objectively he
shouldn't have any trouble winning). However, what would be the motivation for
old Mr. Geller, who is Jewish, to listen to all the garbage produced by Fischer
between the games?

Knightedit is a handy little program, by the way -- well worth the $10

has basically ruined the picture for anyone who hasn't seen it.  Luckily, I

Subject: ClassC to B ratings question. provisional? etc?
Organization: University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA, USA

Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1993 19:43:19 GMT


Well, I've almost touched the top of Class C, and will soon
be Class B.  But how could I be wrong?  Well, my last provisional
game was one of the three I thought would put me there.
   Beating a 7XX rated (10 year old) as my 20th game doesn't make the
thing go down, does it? I hope not.  Excerpt follows:
	1.e4  e6 <--- this got him thinking. Didn't move the pawn up 2,
 like I was supposed to!
	2.c3? d5 <--- I dunno, what do you think it is?
	3 Qa4 +  Argh! This kid is good!  3..Bd7  etc. Black wins.
 I feel, after this (the results get uglier) that I might not deserve
changing classes so quickly, now.  My next two games were against 
approximately B-C ish players, I didn't jot down their numbers.
 My question is basically: Does a C-player about to be B'd get it if
one of the three games that could bump him up is still provisional, and
400+700 looks to me to bring it down a little. (?)
	Additional Excerpt:
	Last of three rounds:  I have been wearing my "Latvian Pride"
sweatshirt shamelessly.  I get black and grin at my opponent. Do you
feel lucky?  He does, so uses his K-pawn.  
	Aha! Faked you out! I've been working on the French! 1.e4 e6
2.d4 d5 3.e5 c5 4.c3 Qc7 (?!)   and since this is mysterious, and I am
now smirking, he believes I know what I am doing.  This is the wrong 
square, sure, but it was close enough at the time.  N-e7-f5 was accomplished,
and I got the tempo back sort of. Later, when I looked like I was losing, I
offered a draw.  This made him think he had a quicker win than he really
had, so blew it.  *I don't deserve it!* grin, grin, grin. Same Bishop
endgame won by Black!

I have a question about this too.  Once you touch a piece, you are supposed
to move it...  However, if you place the piece down and keep holding it, you
can still change your mind and move it to another square.  What if the square
you put it down on is an occupied square?  Are you then obliged to leave it
there?  Normally, if you just touch that occupied square's piece, you must
move one of your pieces onto that square if it is legally possible.  Is this
case mentioned in the rule book?

Somebody asked for one of Karpov's more embarrassing defeats.

Here it is, with a comment from Miles (in quotes) shamelessly lifted from
the "New Statesman" via Basman's book "Play the St. George", but the typos are
all my own.

Adjourned, and Karpov resigned without resuming.

The book also contains two other games featuring this opening, in which
Steinitz and Blackburne are both beaten, simultaneously, by an amateur called
Baker in 1868 (Steinitz was at that time also WC). I'll post them if anyone
wants.

I am curious as to what the concensus of opinion is (if any
concensus exists) on how the World Chess Champions of the
past would have done, in their primes, vs modern day chess
champions (Karpov, Kasparov et al).  Could some of the
great Champions of the early 20th century, or the 1940's '50s,
or even the late 19th Century, have competed against Kasparov,
or has the level of play at the world championship level
increased markedly over the years?
