Colours chess match

TheThing! · 09-12-2007 10:38pm #1

Who do you think will win the colours chess match this year? After two tough years for TCD the recent addition of an impetuous yet undoubtedly talent Russian medical student Dimitri Rainer to our ranks means that this years match should be one of the most entertaining of recent times. I still think it is a tall order for TCD, given the established class of the UCD line up, North American duo Elliot and Zaki returning for their 4th colours match, but it will be entertaining either way....Opinions????

Michal Kolesar shall destroy them all.

Actually one of the UCD guys, Rashid Zaki, played deep blue, or a similar program last year in London. He did quite well, but those computers are a step above even the best grand masters these days, which is a slightly worrying fact in some ways....

No, but Michal is.

so to echo Crash:
where and when?

I dont think anyone is certain of what the result will be at this stage, but certainly there are some strong feelings that TCD could prevent their D4 rivals from claiming a prestigious hat trick of wins, something which hasn't happened since the 70s, I think.

Or doesnt anybody know?

Or is it some kind of private function that others are not invited to? Genuinely confused - I'd thought the first thing people would do is put up the venue and times (unless they haven't been determined yet?)

I don't know about when and where it's on, but Michal Kolesar will destroy them all, like Westlife destroy eardrums. DU ChessSoc is hosting the IV's this year: http://www.chesssoc.org/news.php?key=1.

Michal Kolesar

I agree with these multiple comments. This thread is now about Kolesar mania.

I think I was chair of the Chess Club one year... I can't remember which, but it was either JF or SF.

Tricity Bendix · 10-12-2007 7:08pm

We should get t-shirts printed up with Kolesar's head on top of the King, or Kolesar riding the white knight (or black if we want him to look dangerous and sexy).

I think he could be like one of these new breed of chess playing pimps, who are getting a lot of notice in the world of hip hop lately

Wir leben Michal.

TheThing! · 10-12-2007 7:23pm

'We live Michal'?
Somehow that sounds even MORE stalkerish than 'Wir lieben Michal'.....

It's an in-joke. My German is awful and he's well aware of this.

I for one would like to wish Michal the best of luck in his Monetary Thought and Policy exam on Friday.

paperclip · 10-12-2007 7:41pm

Does Der Mann himself know that there's a lovefest for him going on here?

Time Magazine · 10-12-2007 7:42pm

He does.

10-12-2007 7:44pm

Are you in Kolesar's house again?

paperclip · 10-12-2007 7:49pm

Wave to the famous one for me, then!

europerson · 10-12-2007 9:45pm

Michal über Alles.

But more so.

And yes, I probably would. In fact, I think I have a few times in my dreams.

EGaffney · 11-12-2007 12:00am

I've never seen Michal in Monetary Thought and Policy class. Are you sure you aren't getting confused with another Michael, Ibid?

I think he may be confused there, all right. Michal takes Securities, while Michael does not, if I recall correctly.

Now I'm all curious. this is something I have to get into. Where's the end of the line?

Only Michal himself could calculate that!
