Correspondence chess inactive time

#29
QuestionHero2212, of course he has to play lower rated players, don't he? Because he is highest rated himself, and there is nobody who is higher. Just turn on your logic sometimes.

About the game you mentioned, could you be more specific, and point us to the "so many mistake"? I am new to this atomick variant, and would like to see competent analysis of someone strong and experienced, like you.

@Pitau,

I understand that he has to play lower rated players, but that isn't enough of a justification to not play those ranked closest to him. All I want is to see him to play someone around his 'caliber'. Why is that hard to understand? And here you are claiming I do not show logic?

If you would like to speak logic, I will provide a proper argument.

Premise 1: If Kapsarov is a player around 2600-2700 in atomic chess, then he can play and likely win against those ranked closest to him.

Premise 2: Kapsarov has not yet won against any of those ranked closest to him recently or previously.

Conclusion: Therefore, Kasparov has not proven that he can play and win against those ranked closest to him.

As for the chess match I brought up (http://en.lichess.org/eJDEmuWF/black). In correspondence chess, he should not lose to someone over 1000+ points below him. That would be equivalent of Magnus Carlsen losing to me in a correspondence chess.

I am no expert or theoretician in this variant, but since you requested, I will provide a small analysis.

One example:
Black moves 9 b5.
- This is not necessary. Given this position, there isn't a reason to protect against white's bishop or queen. If white chooses to attack using those pieces, black b5 can be done after white does so. By doing this early attempt, he loses a good point to make an advantage (for example, black moving 9 d3 is a strong move. It locks the several pieces and creates more opportunities of attack).

Black moves 20 b4
- Completely unnecessary. Out of any moves Kapsarov could have made, he chose a really bad one. It was very evident the knight has the potential to move to b5 if black moves pawn to b4.

There are other instances of mistakes Kapsarov has made, but I will not go any further. I only provided a small analysis.

Based on my second evidence (black b4 at move 20), Kapsarov has failed to show an analytical skill of 2600/2700+ in this correspondence match, a game where you plenty of time to analyze a position. A player of at least 2000+ or even lower should be able to see this evident mistake. Additionally, this match was very recent; it would be that he was playing at his prime level.

Hi QuestionHero2212, nice to meet you.
Are you from future? Well, go back to your 2212, and do your analysis there, because here, in 2015, we people are much smarter.

Yes, you tried. You tried hard to find decisive mistakes in that game, lichess.org/eJDEmuWF/black , but you FAILED.

Black moves 9. b5.
Instead of this you suggest 9. d3??
Oh, poor black king! How could he survive after such a blunder?
First of all white would give this check 10. Qa4+.
Any response is losing by force for black after next move 11. Qg4 and queen can’t be stopped.

Black moves 20. b4
And you did not suggest any other move instead.
Of course, you did not noticed that position was lost at this moment, so this move or 20. Qg6 or 20. Qc8 or 20. Bxa3 or 20. Qb7 really have no big difference. White can find correct move order after any of those moves.

For sure, you are not an expert in this variant. But this is not preventing you from criticizing the best player of current era, arguing about mistakes, that you are not able to see.

All your conclusions are now invaluable, as they had fallen like a card house.

Good luck, next time before making accusations double check your facts.

P.S. Magnus Carlsen can loose to me in correspondence chess, for example after a mouse slip.

I searched and only found 7 occasions where Kapsarov's opponents were 2200+ at the time of the game:

Tipau 4 Kapsarov 0
Atomice 2 Kapsarov 0
TrojanVirus 0 Kapsarov 1 (TrojanVirus lost on time still in the opening)

This guy has the highest rating but probably isn't a good player. Almost all the games he's won are against players rated lower than me!

I also find it funny that all the aggressive posts defending Kapsarov all use the same style of broken English, regardless of what country the profile says :)

@Misunderstood_Genius

As I mentioned before, I am no expert or theoretician. I only provided a small analysis as asked from someone else.

Indeed you are right about 9. b5. That is my mistake.

However, the 20. b4. I already knew black was at a disadvantage. I only pointed out that from all his options, he could have chosen a better move.

Additionally, the point of my post is about my argument. You are only addressing the quick and simple analysis I did which is not an expert opinion. You have failed to attack or refute my logical argument.

You are simply attacking me as a player, not defending Kapsarov of my conclusive statement "Therefore, Kasparov has not proven that he can play and win against those ranked closest to him."

You tell me to double check my facts; I will be sure to do so next time. Now I want you to double check your logic.

Please address my argument with my premises and conclusion from the comment at #32.

Let me also repeat, because it seems many "defenders" Kapsarov and "alternative accounts" seem to not be able to read: I want to see Kapsarov play against someone from the current list of top ten and win.

Additionally, you are making the assumption that someone like Magnus Carlsen, a player with very detailed plays and strong analysis, would make a mouse slip. It is understandable if it were a bullet game (1 minute), but in a correspondence? That would be ridiculous.

I will no longer respond to those who fail to reply logically and grammatically. For those who will reply anyway, if you choose to find weakness or attack me as a player than respond to the argument at hand, then you have committed a logical fallacy. This means you choose not to address the actual argument but to the person instead (usually when you cannot defend against a solid case, which is what Misunderstood_Genius is doing).

Finally, I can admit my mistakes (analysis game). However, can you who defend Kapsarov or is barking illogical statements all you can do?

GusHunt, QuestionHero2212, Ardavan74 and other haters. Your arguments were too amateur.
I waste 3 min. of my time just to find and show you some games, that prove: Kapsarov is a real deal, and great champ. He do not afraid to play nobody, beating players to death and beating dead players to life, and can win over top 5 players easily. Look below:
Nyuu64 (2416)-8
Kapsarov (2631)+25
http://en.lichess.org/lTzJ3GLK

Kapsarov (2636)
AtomicPawn (2264)
http://en.lichess.org/zZXceSj1

There are many more games, just make a little effort and you will find yourself.

I wonder, where is that cocky boy tipau now? He is not even trying to fight back for the title.
He must be realized, that there is no a single chance for him left in that war.
Boardmaster Kapsarov snatch his crown with the head still attached to it!
Kapsarov for sure is a Greatest Champion in this Platinum Era of atomic chess!
In atomic chess structure he is a nucleus!
We all are so lucky to live in same era, being able to observe and study such a great mastermind skills.
And everybody - just clap your hands for the Great Master - Expert Champion - Kapsarov!!!

LOL are you serious kapsarov...one of these games is casual and the other is 1.Nf3 f6 0-1 <White left the game>

You don't give any good examples because there aren't any.

Tipau's Worst Nightmares:

Episode 01

Part 1

Asylum. Dark place. Midnight.
Insane voices from the room 305.
- I'd be very surprised if he had a good score against even 1 good 2300+ player... Wait, no, he had...
- No, no, no, he's nubmer one... What a shame for me...
- He abused the rating system.... Yes, he is..... Yes he abuse.......
- I can use my ultra modern engines, which are much stronger than me.... Of course....
- I will see how he will try to beat Onubence.... Oh no... (insane scream)
- Demonic spirits possessed me......
- One day his atomic rating will reflect reality and be 2100..... Ha ha, yes, for sure, - we just need to wait for it.... But what if..... Oh no... (crying).

Public humiliation was the worst his pain. A fool divorces his knowledge and misses the logic. Stressful, trying to avoid all his impure thoughts, he lost his mind.
And it seems he don’t know what is true or dream.

The end of part 1,

to be continued?

Time to wake up, Timothy, and see on the reality:

Kapsarov - the organic supercomputer that solved the mysteries.
He had a strong mind, he used to philosophize.
His intellectual properties are about the size of a universe.
He claimed that he is the greatest atomic chess player of all time.
His games are the same thing as a priceless painting. His style is masterful, multilateral.

This war was lost for you forever. But we only increase if everything is peace. So, Tipau, time to replace your hate with respect. And it's a long path ahead for Kapsarov. That's unstoppable!

PERIOD!
