No,I just think quick mates should be slowed.

To eliminate quick mates I propose the following new chess rule "You may not move a non-pawn onto your opponent's side of the board until all your non-pawns have been moved at least once" "No draw offers during that time either" So may it be posted. So may it be implemented globally

Which brings to mind Euwe's quote about Lasker "It is not possible to learn much from him. One can only stand and wonder"

Impressive Vishy. No defeats and 2-0 win in the tiebreak.

I thought they agreed to a draw

should lose fewer rating points than those who wait for mate.

Thought this didn't start until November

Mr.Ilyumzhinov you have two careers. In one you're the president of the world chess federation. No one cares about the other one. One of these careers has a future. The other does not. Mr.Ilyumzhinov you are the disease and we are the cure. Stop trying to mate me and mate me! There is no spoon.

I don't think ratings alone should be considered for any spots in the candidates. Players must play their way in.
