@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.
