The strategy of kariku in this game was very good. An excellent attack to the flank queen, with a powerful rock in the column a
 
I want to encourage all players to share his games that consider interesting, this way all can learn a little more about this complex opening.
 
On the other way, I feel the fight on top it is being exciting... Waiting Gladiator!

sorry - it's hard to get any moves in during the week. I'm going to have to take some time off from corr. tournys as right now i'm just spending a lot of hours at work and a lot of time with my baby - she's learning fast...
 

don't fret about it.I wish my kids were still so young.Miss those days very much.Savor them- they grow up so damn fast.I worked like a dog when my kids were young.( I wish I did not)Only advice I have is spend as much time with your kids as you can.Work is simply a way to provide.Keep that in mind and focus on your children and wife.End of the day-all you have is your family.Your company will stumble and blunder its way along.( and evntually kick your ass out the door) Your wife and kids won't

Great advise Yaman!.
 
In my case , my older son is 17 now and we are preparing his way to college ( he picked Berlin)...in other words, he is gone!...my daughter 16 is on her way next year to do the same..I hope she stays in CR...and the feeling yaman described I have it 100% and it hit me on the face a couple of months ago and is a sad feeling...however I still have Marianne of 6!...It is my second chance to enjoy parenthood ( and basically sharing with your love ones) a bit more but I have the feeling no matter how much you spend with them the impact of watching them go and make their lives will leave you with the same taste of wanting to have them a lot more.....
 
...that's life!

I totally agree. It won't stop me from getting my g/2 fix on friday nights after my wife and baby are asleep however :P.
 
I drove them to union station here in toronto this morning. they're on their way by train to new brunswick for three weeks. I didn't realize this but I'm really going to miss them and it's a sudden crushing feeling - but that feeling really didn't hit until they were allowed to board the train. It's like how you had to let your kids go to school in another country...(?!). Well, I think #2 may be on the way soon as well :)
 
you can look forward to my speed game improving over the next few weeks. I'll have a chance to keep track of the anand-topalov match as well..all I can do is study for the financial risk manangement certification (www.garp.com), work out, and work! and when they get back i'll have a few nice suprises waiting for them.
 
thank you and yaman for your thoughtful posts.

Don't worry Dale I just hope I didn't hurt you...but you have a very busy life.
