How I spend my friday evenings

…well, one of them at least: Watching Nigel Short beat the crap out of random GM’s on playchess. From a game played two minutes ago:

Nigel Short-Chris Bhajarangi

19…0-0?
20.c5 … Qxc5,
21.dxc6+ … Kh8,
22.cxd7 … Rad8,
23.Nf4 … Rxd7,
24.Qe1 … Nd3,
25.Nxg6+!!

1-0

Excellent chess! Short had 2.19 left on the clock (it was a 3 minute + 1 sec. increment game), and it only took him 3 seconds to find Nxg6. I’d wish he’d defeated Kasparov in 93, taking into account how many different world champions we’ve seen the last few years, to think he’s never had the title is just depressing.
