That was nasty friend.
Simul or not, Win against Gazza is any chess player's dream.
Originally posted by micarrAn accomplishment? David Tebb was playing Kasparov in a simul, and David Tebb is 2200+??? He's a strong master. Now, keep in mind that simuls usually do not have players over 1700-1900 give or take. The reason for this: it's difficult enough to slam 50 2000 strength players in a row, even for the World Champion. Kasparov is just walking around from board to board - not playing is strongest as he would against a World Championship challenger. It's a way different situation. It's like a 1700 player playing 20 1300 players and just walking around from board to board. I guarantee you that 1700 player is going to lose 1 of those games - unless he's just in a great mood and at the height of his game that day. I remember my high school best friend played Susan Polgar in West Palm Beach during her simul. He lost, but of the guys drew her. He thought he was the best thing since sliced bread, but they were rather upset with him because he did not reveal his true strength. They didn't want players over 1800 at simul boards. So, Tebb didn't beat the real Kasparov. He just played a great game in a simul against Kasparov. People have been known to draw him in simuls aso.
Gazza v Mr. Tebb is game of the day at chessgames.com:

12. Nxf5?! was a bit of a mad one from the greatest player ever!
Originally posted by powershakerI agree that of course Kasparov is not the same player when replying instantly compared to having time to study a position in depth however it is an accomplishment to play and win in a KID against the worlds expert on this opening. Kasparov played a very dubious sac and that was that. It is rare for players above 1900+ to play in simuls but it is Kasparov after all. Pity he is not at Linares (GK that is 😉)

Originally posted by powershakerKasparov played the Isarali Chess Olympiad team (average FIDE rating of 2600) and won every game.

Originally posted by powershakerI always get confused between judit and susan. The sim. you are talking about, is that the big one where they broke the world record and it occurred last year ? That had this big thing about it in chessbase.

First powershaker makes excuses for his own play and now Kasparov's.
Originally posted by dottewellNo, I'm flying to Hawaii tomorrow. Changing libraries from Oregon to Hawaii. LOL Luckily I have wireless in Hawaii, so won't have to worry about the library any longer. Wooo hooo! Plus, now I can pay at my full strength of 1700-1799 - instead of having too play quick chess on here. Yahooooo!!!!

Originally posted by XanthosNZNo. It use to be 1621, but I have been forced to move rather quickly. I plan on getting my RHP rating to 1700 when I arrive in Hawaii because I'll have wireless on my laptop when on the island of O'ahu. Right now I'm only a few hundred points less in rating than you are and I don't even spend much thought on my moves. I should be within 200 points of you sooner or later once in Hawaii. Then, we can play, and you can suffer the brunt of my bishopy blows, Xanthy! hehe Right now, I've got two good games going against a 1740+ player (jerbee) and I should guzzle down some points from those two games. Should be interesting. If only he would resign. He's already lost in one for sure! But, just my luck. When they're about to lose they don't even move and wait as long as possible.
