Are you that incapable of admitting that you have made mistakes in the past?
Ok, which mistake???
Its you who still claimed premoving was allowed despite me posting conclusive evidence even in post 86 in this thread

You want me to look another hour for the rules about penalties too???

You already know perfectly well what Gjissen wrote in that article, so you dont have to ask about it.

1. Player B acts incorrectly and it is the arbiter who decides the penalty,
because a player may start to make his move after the opponent has made
his move

There obviously is a big difference if you are allowed move after the opponent has "made" his move but before he has "completed" it, so I don't think this is a tiny matter of rule nittery. In fact from all your other posts it seemed like this was the bit you didn't quite get.

specifically, in posts like this one (made by you, in this thread):

Youre not allowed to make a move before the opponent has finnished his.

You dont even see the mistake you did here???
When you said premoving was allowed, you refered to that article.

Mr Gijssen discussed making a move after the opponent has made his move, but not yet pressed his clock which is perfectly allowed, but as far from premoving as it can possibly be.

As far from premoving as it can possibly be? So then, is premoving only touching the piece you intend to move and then touching the square you intend to move it to (without actually moving the piece), and then when your opponent hits his clock your piece that you touched magically flies from its square to the square that you touched and your clock is magically pressed instantaneously?

Is this what you're talking about?

Fischer was 4 .5 pointsahead of the field in the world blitz chess championships at Herceg Novi in1970, that is IMHO the best blitz performance ever.

Tal beat Kasparov in ablitz game literally days before he died - there is a video of it on you tube where Kasparov talks about it.

Basically someone ought to organize similar blitz champonshipnow

I saw Michael adams beat a bunch of British GMs really easily at Blitz.

Anand is def the best rapid player with his 10 straight wins at mainz, 6 at leon, and a bunch at amber rapid.

Is he the best blitz player? he doesn't have the consistency of Fischer but at his peak he probably can take anyone in history: http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=3496

he's for sure near the top of any list for the best speed chess players of all time. he takes very little time in classical games too which is shocking considering how well he did against the opposition he faced

he takes time in classical games, taking very little time is just a recirculated story from his youth as far as i know/have seen from watching the top tournaments lately

FYI, Namakura has NEVER won a world blitz championship. A cuban named Lenier Dominguez won last year, Vassily Ivanchuk the year before, and Grischuk in 2006. Grischuk, whom many believe to be the current strongest blitz player in the world recently won a very strong blitz championship in Moscow, ahead of Morozevich, Karjakin, Jakovenko, etc. Anand is definitely up there for both blitz and rapid, as well as slow.

Either of Kasparov or Fischer probably could have given 5-2 time odds to Nakafatguy and won most of the games when they were in their prime.
OTB blitz: clearly, Grischuk is very good but not as dominating as Fischer was; nevertheless, online, IMHO Nakamura isn't much worse (if any) compared to Grischuk. Obviously, you're very likely correct to think that there is nobody clearly better than Grischuk at blitz today as proven by results among peers.

IMHO, Kasparov's forte was not blitz ( consider a famous "faux pas" he committed at the World Chess Festival's blitz championship - the event Tal won ), and I'd guess that Fischer in his prime could offer 5-2 to almost anyone ( there would be no more than a dozen or so exceptions in history ) and be at least a slight favorite. IMHO, Kasparov ( even in his prime ) giving 5-2 time odds to Nakamura would not be a favorite.

The real question is, could any player in history, in their prime, have scored better than 10% against Rybka 3 on good hardware?
