Jeff Waters Nigel - If a tournament could be held between all the past world grandmasters, and they were all playing as they did at their prime, and they all had access to a database of openings, who would win? Would Capablanca be demolished due to the middle- and end- game knowledge that has been developed over the years, or was... he right in thinking that, untill someone changes the rules of chess, the principles of good play will remain unchanged?

Jeff Waters Hi Nigel

Do you agree with Siegbert Tarrasch's observation that: 'Before the endgame, the Gods have placed the middle game'?

@Stuart Hamilton. It has weaker players than playchess.com and an old-fashioned interface to boot.

Brennan Vincent GM Short, I have heard that you wrote an article claiming that the Grandmaster title should be abolished. I couldn't find this article online. Could someone give me a link?

I certainly have written that in the past. Perhaps first in Inside Chess almost 20 years ago.

Nigel - I haven't seen the article, but it's an interesting point of view. Would you advocate keeping the title for very top echelon of players, or getting rid of it altogether?

Because I had +6 with no defeats in classical chess before this game, including two victories against a reigning World Champion (Ruslan Ponomariov). Does that explain it?
