heh i actually considered doing that.
Lasker would rather lose than draw, and is very bad at endgames.

it was a very long game and lasker made some poor choices under time trouble. even GMs can feel the pressure (the dead ones also apparently).
Heh, nice idea! At what time settings are you running the games?

30 mins/game, although i was considering increasing that in the later rounds. i figured that would be good enough since book openings and forced endgames tend to play out instantly.
True. Was just wondering as this is really costing you quite some time!
Smyslov, Petrossian, Kramnik, and Topalov, were passed over for Nimzowitsch, and Anderssen? Hmmm... sad. What the hell, it's your tournament after all Great games in the first round.
I guess Kasparov didn't make the cut either.
kasparov was sadly unavailable.
Why? Because he's running around the world, looking for a camera? No. The greatest chess player on earth, should be participating in the World Championships of the History of Chess!
