In poker, sometimes you go all-in.
In chess, your pièces always go all-in!!
I couldn't beat a IM even with queen odds!
So if Greg had lost, he would have had to pay Dwan 60k? Didn't know chess players are that rich ...
I don't like that Dean poker player
Anyone following WSOP 2015
Dwan certainly tries to apply his tricky aggressive approach to chess. He skipped the part about building a solid infrastructure before trying to come up with clever tactics. He seems to have the first 5 or 6 moves opening moves down pat but he needs to continue going for the center. A common mistake rookies make is trying to apply their genius level of creativity in strategic games before learning the fundamentals. I think he has potential but a lot of poker players lack the discipline and have too much arrogance to study games from the 1800s to now. Also using the engines are a great way to improve
Game 2 should say 0-1 as black is winning, has been winning most of the game, and unless black has flagged on time then indeed black has won the game. The game is incorrectly scored as a win for Tom Dwan.
