I write with him a little bit - we are networking on the subject of MAMS [Man Assisted Machine Chess (Shach)] to look at some long-string positional patterns, especially those created by material :: initiative imbalances. [I see below you are also in the chess computer journalism business.] Anyway - I am glad I posted the game here, especially to read Wlod's responses, which are [I will embarass him] a little bit elegeic, indeed, after that other Pole, they are Chopinesque. This is, IMO, a good balance to bits & bytes, and fitting chess as science, performed as art.

I don't remember a game in which Capablanca would allow his king to be attacted in such a dangerous looking way by the hostile queen, shooting in the king's face from one-two steps away. it's a paradox that this game feels quiet while superficially it looked at the same time that the white king was exposed to a mortal danger. Strange. Very moody, artistic. it was and it was not a combinational game. The grey water of a great river moves fast but looks like it is standing still, and the impression is peaceful. Wow! Regards, Wlod

Some time ago he told me about the GM > growth rate in Poland, which AFAIK, is second only to China's. > > This game is as smooth as a Capablanca, no? Phil To me it's diffirent. Capablanca's were elegant, shining. And one was enjoying each detail, and each move. Many said that Rubinstein's games were like grand musical compositions, and that was my feeling too. The Railich-Bui game is very global. This is what dominates this game in my mind, and makes it unique. Other aspects are fine but feel simple. The global vision, and global integration of this game is like 99% of it. In many great games grandmasters win by seeing two theaters while their opponent paid attention only to one. This was Kramnik's strategy against Topalov. In Bronstein's King's Indian games there were flashy combinations but based on certain fixed structure elements of the position which he and Boleslavsky have discovered. In that sense those games were strategic. But in this game there is only one huge global theater. Only one total structure. And only the winner saw it. To me it would be not possible to pay correctly the details of the game even if I understood the global idea, but it still feels like to the winner the details were nothing. In other games the details are impressive, we are surprised by some isolated moves. Here the global vision is the surprise, not a detail or a move, and not even isolated strategical constructs. The game was an integrated totality. Sorry for so many words, thank you again, Wlod

Really, it is interesting and refreshing to read of these differing qualities or characters [old fashioned literary sense] of the art of playing chess. It is fun to approach the game this way - I asked Taimanov a few questions based on musicians - and he said eg: that Kasparov was like Shostakovitch, 'for complexity,' which is a nice appreciation. So, recently I asked the player, "if Tony Miles was the John Lennon of English chess, who is Mickey Adams?" ;) Now let me ask you, Wlod, who is this /like/: "But in this game there is only one huge global theater. Only one total structure. And only the winner saw it." Maybe you will chose your own realm of activity to describe who or what is similar? Then we can all play, and create our own rubric. Cordially, Phil innes > Wlod

Thank you, Phil. Look at the final position--black has only queen active. It's such a quiet, simple and complete game, like an open space. I saw the king side only, while Railich played on both wings, on the entire board. Wlod
