Since FabianFnas' 'one move a day' thread (Thread 85405) ended and he doesn't seem to want to continue with another game, I thought I'd start another.
The idea is as follows: I will post one move every day of a not very well known and high level game. Everyone is free to make any comment, kibitz all the way! I will not tell anything about the game other than one move a day until the game is over.
Please don't try to find the game in some database or another.
I will try to make the move more or less at the same moment each day.
Have fun again! 🙂

but, could we please get the first 4-5 moves faster?
waiting one whole day for blacks first reply is just meaningless.
Who is to decide which move is the first interesting? Without even knowing the game? I think that every move is interesting, at least before we get it, perhaps not after. But giving away the information which move is interesting is not recommendable.
I say that before we know the game, every move is interesting. Please, don't reveal the moves more than one a day. (But of course, I don't own this thread.)

I really can't believe people are standing behind this. this one day of thinking time is (or should be, since I cannot see any other reason behind it) for letting people have time for actual thinking and analysing, for evaluating the positions. in this position, what are people analysing or evaluating? nothing. simply, plain, ordinary nothing. it will be the same until we reach a position where it's now beyond only a matter of opening taste.
can you guess or find out by analysis and evaluation, Fischer's favorite opening from the beginning position? no, right? then imagine you're trying to do the same thing for a chess player you don't even know.

By the end of the first one it was mostly mephisto, me, and tebbs...with mephisto and I doing most of the analysis.
By the end of the second it was mostly mephisto, me, and dragon fire...with DF doing most of the analysis.
