Review: Garry Kasparov on Garry Kasparov Part 1: 1973-1985
Hikaru Nakamura was recently interviewed by Daniel King about his cooperation with Kasparov (which, as we now know, is already over). To my surprise, the American super grandmaster repeated the old, long refuted cliché that Kasparov's main strength was in openings.
I mean you look at middlegames or endgames and I'm quite convinced there are other players who are better than he was, but he was able to get advantages out of the openings so that was his main strength.
Did he really say that about his respected trainer? Was it some kind of smoke-screen, or did he actually mean it? If so, Nakamura surely hasn't yet found time to read Kasparov's latest book, Garry Kasparov on Garry Kasparov Part 1: 1973-1985 (published by Everyman Chess). This volume contains 100 games in which Kasparov's creative genius is displayed in all aspects – opening, middlegame and endgame. Compulsory reading for young Hikaru!
There are two possible ways for reviewers to respond to a new book written by Kasparov: the first is to lyrically describe all those beautiful games and analyses, and be gentle on everything else he writes. The second is to ignore most of the chess and scrutinize his prose for errors, blame the editors of sloppiness and conclude that it's all been done before, and better.
I've always been in the first camp, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I cherish my autographed copies of Kasparov's books. His latest work covers the period 1973-1985, from his early childhood games (when he was still called Weinstein) to his first match with Karpov, and again, I felt helpless against the power of Kasparov's games and became enthusiastic already when looking at the very first game in the book.
I remember being terribly proud of this far from obvious move. 'It turns out that the h2-h4 advance also contained a positional threat. White unexpectedly seizes control of the d-file takes play into a highly favourable ending. (…)' – Nikitin.
To immediately answer the critics, of which there are many: yes, this book, too, contains many and sometimes rather lengthly quotes from others, and many games were already analyzed in earlier publications such as Kasparov's Fighting Chess, and, most conspicuously, The Test of Time. Yes, the book lacks a bibliography to check all this properly. (This is a serious omission.) And no doubt, it is probably factually incorrect when discussing the (political) context of some situations.
But all this is to a large extent missing the point. Any neutral chess lover picking up this book will be stunned and seduced with some of the best moments ever seen in chess history – and most of them are completely unrelated to opening preparation. Here's a fragment from a game which featured the Alekhine Defense, where Kasparov was out of book as early as move 8:
In the period of my chess youth I rarely refrained from such spectacular blows. And for a long time, under the impression of the rout which followed, I considered this move to be the shortest way to the goal. (…) But I couldn't help thinking that it was possible to manage without 'brilliance'.
When, on my return to Baku, I showed this game to Vladimir Andreevich Makogonov, he suddenly asked: 'But wouldn't it have been simpler to play h2-h4?' Thus another solution to the position was found, one not involving any sacrifices: 23.h4! f5 24.exf6 Nxf6 25.hxg5 or 23…gxh4 24.Qh5! f5 25.exf6 Nxf6 26.Nxf6+ Rxf6 27.Nd5! exd5 28.Qxd5+ and Qxa8.
This continuation is undoubtedly more practical, but then there would not have been the fireworks with the sacrifice of both bishops, and an attack in which all (!) the white pieces participated. (…)
23…hxg5 24.Qh5 f5 25.Nxg5 Rf7
After making this move, Palatnik unexpectedly offered a draw! I was very surprised: it is patently obvious just how strong White's attack is. Perhaps the tournament leader, realizing that his position was hopeless, was trying a last chance? At any event, my silent reply was a new sacrifice.
The crux of the combination. The sacrifice of the second bishop conclusively destroys the black king's defenses. 26.d5!? Bxe5 27.Nxf7 would also have won, but the move in the game is both prettier and better. (…)
Note Kasparov's objectiveness, which nevertheless doesn't diminish his enthusiasm after all these years (though some would no doubt call it arrogance). This willingness to look at these youthful games from a mature perspective is also reflected in the many corrections Kasparov has made to his earlier annotations.
A particularly striking example of this critical look is Kasparov's analysis of his famous loss against Petrosian from 1981, where Kasparov improves on his old commentary in The Test of Time by quoting analysis work by Timman, Bologan, Zviagintsev, and Yusupov and Dvoretsky.
This brilliant defensive move was made by Petrosian almost without thinking. White's attack peters out, since his rooks are stuck on the queenside.
On seeing that the endgame after 37.Qxe7+ Kxe7 38.Rxa4 Rd6 39.g3 was too depressing (…), I tried to confuse matters.
'Petrosian is again equal to the occasion: after 37…Qxe6 38.fxe6 Bd7 39.exd7+ Rxd7 40.Rf2 White would have managed to save the game,' I wrote in The Test of Time. But now I am not so sure: 40…Rf7! 41.Rf5 Rxf5 42.exf5 Kf7 followed by ..a5-a4-a3, …Kf6 and so on. Besides, Black is also better after 38…Bc6!? 39.Rf2 Ke7! 40.Rf7+ Kd6 41.e7 Re8 42.Rf6+ Kd7! 43.Rxc6 a4. (…)
Of course, Kasparov was also in a league of his own with regards to opening preparation. The most famous example probably being his two Botvinnik Variation games in the 13th and 14th rounds of the Soviet Championship in 1981, first against Timoshchenko and then against Dorfman. Here's how Kasparov describes what happened after his win against Timoshchenko:
A lively analysis after the game involved not only Timoshchenko and me, but also Dorfman, and Sveshnikov, who as usual was showing where and what should have been moved. His voice resounded louder than the others and the variations he demonstrated looked convincing enough (…) and in the end the grandmaster consultation dediced that 30…e5 was the decisive mistake, and that 30…Be5 would have parried the attack. All my attempts to refute this were unsuccessful, and Sveshnikov publicly declared that he was prepared to defend the position after 30…Be5 against me in the 16th round!
On returning to the hotel, for a long time I was unable to get to sleep. Thoughts about the game just played would not leave me in peace. Was 30…Be5 really such a good move that it killed White's entire plan?! Without interruption I analysed this position in my head, and only by two in the morning did I find peace: analysis showed irrefutably that 30…Be5 also did not save Black (I remember even that, when this happened, I said to my mother: 'Found it!'). (…)
And sure enough, Kasparov was able to beat Dorfman the next day with his discovery:
30…Be5 31.Rc5! Rxc5 32.Bxc5!
My night-time discovery! The fact that the quiet 'backwards' capture was stronger than 32.Qxc5, and that now Black has no defense, was not easy to grasp (I don't know whether I would have found it at the board if the previous day Timoshchenko had played 30…Be5…).
And here's another beautiful (though some would no doubt call it irritating) home-preparation example in the QGD, from his quarter-final Candidates Match against Beliavsky:
This was the novelty we had found – the fruit of three days of preparatory work. (…) I remember how on the eve of the game Botvinnik arrived at the Azerbaijan permanent representative's residence in Moscow, where our team was living during the match, and I showed him the main variations that were possible after 12.Bf5. Botvinnik studied the position carefully and approvingly murmured: 'Hmm… A good idea!'
There is so much chess to enjoy that this alone is a good reason to pick up this book. But Kasparov also says interesting and personal things about his youth. I was moved by his remark that he always carried a picture of his deceased father with him. I also didn't know (or else I've forgotten) that Kasparov had serious health problems in his youth. This makes his phenomenal rise to fame, documented in this book, even more impressive.
Garry Kasparov on Garry Kasparov Part 1: 1973-1985 is more than a revised edition of The Test of Time. It is a book that not only Hikaru Nakamura, but every chess lover should study. A perfect Christmas gift.

It's very disappointing to see you write such a "going out of your way" attack on Hikaru Nakamura Arne. If you wanted to write a hatchet piece on Hikaru, you didn't have to waste a book review to do it.
I don't agree with Hikaru's assessment of Kasparov's middlegame skills at all, but Kasparov is well known for mishandling a few basic rook and pawn endgames. But I would just leave it at that, a respectful disagreement.
2 years 4 months ago
Nakamura's comment was nonsense, and Arne has referred to it in his review to state what many think. Show the examples that you refer to and be done with it. For every "mishandling a few basic rook and pawn endgames" by Kasparov that you can show (if you can do it), I will present ten endgames that he handled like a virtuoso.
Such nonsense...and always coming from those who have not accomplished half as much.

I really like to read this reviews. It's one of the things I most appreciate in this page. Keep going, Arne.

Why would you write that? Nakamura was simply answering a question live in the LCC when he said that, without giving it too much thought. It probably wasn't meant to be disrespectful, and regardless, it was his opinion. But now first we have the guy in the LCC room who tried to stir sh*t with Lawrence Trent the commentator about it, and now this article. This isn't celebrity he said she said.
If Nakamura wasn't deliberately slighting Kasparov, then he must be an idiot. I prefer to believe that Nakamura isn't an idiot. Also notice that in the last tournament they were not speaking to each other (they even avoided eye contact) so that further makes me think that the slight was deliberate. ref: http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=7764

When Nakamura says that he is convinced that other players have been stronger in the middlegame than Kasparov I can't help but wonder who those players have been and how many they are. I haven't read the reviewed book but Kasparov was an amazing middlegame player and I can't think of anyone I'd call equal to him in that respect, and it would be even harder for me to name several players that were stronger than him in that phase of the game. Nakamura and Carlsen speak very differently about Kasparov, just compare Nakamura's statements with what Carlsen is saying in for example this great interview:
2 years 4 months ago
I have read many pages of this book, and I like this concrete answer to Nakamura by Arne.
My advise to Naka: please think before talking.
Wrong way to evaluate!
You must study as many number of worst games as the number of best games to evaluate a person's strength in whatever department of the game you are evaluating him. Of course you can disregard one or two worst blundersome games but studying one's bad games is necessary to know one's skills. This is because the best games can be a follow up of some prepared opening lines so not much chance is there for the player to go wrong in a familiar position and therefore those games may not be very good examples to understand one's true skills or potential.
Nice try in favor of Kasparov though! ;-)
Just looked at one of the games.. In Kasparov-Palatnik 1978, the moves that follow 26.Bxf5 are 26...Rxf5 27.Rxf5 exf5 28.Nd5 Qd8 29.Qh7+ Kf8 30.Qxf5+ Kg8 31.Qh7+ Kf8 and they are more or less forced. Now Kasparov does 32.Ra3 which is sort of dubious. Which allows black to prolong the game with 31...Nf7 32.Rf3 Bc4 33.Rxf7 Qxf7 34.Nxf7 Bxd5 35.Nd6 etc. Only the played 31...Rc8 continuation which helped end the game quickly. 32.Nc7 might have been better since it force trades queen and helps capture a8-rook with material up in simlified position. When you play sub-optimal moves without valid reason, it just indicates weakness in your calculations. If 32.Ra3 move was a result of Kasparov underestimating his opponent, this may not be a good sample game.
The Kasparov-Petrosian game was also covered in much detail in the Predecessors volume of Petrosian+Spassky. So, Arne, is there anything new about this game in this volume?
@PircAlert - am I right in concluding that you are not much of a Kasparovfan?
Just remember Kasparov was only 15 years old in the Palatnik game and even so: I can't recall Kasparov claiming anywhere, that his games were error-free. The thing I like most about his analysis is that he shows how beautifully rich the game really is - even in seemingly hopeless positions, often some defense can be found.
Secondly - you are forgetting in your model for calculating someone's relative strength the average strength of their opponents. So I guess you can't blame Kasparov for incidentally misplaying one or two pawn endgames against, say, Karpov - who is not flawless either - but isn't that about as good as it gets?
I guess what I wanted to say is: just shut up and be thankful that someone like Kasparov takes the trouble to open up new perspectives on already analysed games - even on his own analysis in Dva Matchva etc. As Sadler once put it: mainly, it is because Kasparov writes this or that, that you want to read it. It is about as exciting as the few pieces of post-1966 Fischer-analysis we have thanks to the recordings of Jan Timman (remember his wonderful anecdote, where Fischer analysed Ivanchuk - Kasparov in NiC)
I am convinced that the younger generation of the GM's do not want to follow in the path of the chess GM of the past.....unless you list players from Russia etc. They seek change with the hope to grow interest in chess. If you want to see proof of this fact, just listen to Kamsky give a post game interview at the US Chess Championships in St Louis and then listen to Nakamura. One is refrained and the other speaks his mind. You want to guess who says what? I have some video's on Youtube if you want to check this out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFRlVUz6YF4&feature=plcp&context=C36e643f...

Poor Garry. Such a nice guy. Wouldn't hurt a fly. Wouldn't offend a flea. Naka. Dammit! How could you say such a thing about Mr. Whinesteins only son?
2 years 4 months ago
The opening is as important as middlegame and endgame. You cannot win a chess game, let alone win the world chess crown, without excelling in middlegame and endgame. So to say that Kasparov, a former world chess champion who has won against formidable opponents in Karpov, Short and Anand, and other supper grandmasters and former world champions, is inferior in middlegame and endgame is unfounded and disrespectful. This book and many other books will attest that Naka's claim is not true. Kasparov should be given due respect for his great contribution to chess.
good review. Hikaru opened himself for being criticized for his riduculous statement. He is open game now.

yep! saying 30 days earlier, "tudying with one of the best player in the history of the game!" then "he is just good at opening preps. there is not much to gain from him"... so dull!

Kasparov was an amazing player ( almost certainly the best ever ) but there is no doubt that his superior opening preparation was a key point in his overall strenght. Karpov and Capablanca were more talented, but it is not Kasparov´s fault that both of them were lazy. It is impossible to know the limits that a young, healthy and in the same level of Kasparov's opening preparation Capablanca and Karpov would have.

rumor has it that the book was produced by a gost writer, and not just someone, but in fact Mihail Marin and that based on existing Kasparov quotes and some anecdotes he told based on the first draft, the final version was produced.
2 years 1 month ago
Carlsen said that Kasparov was still exceptionally strong in calculating variations!

Being the best only in the openings would never carry Kasparov to the top and allow such a long stay there.

1109 Decatur St, New Orleans, LA | Directions 7011629.960104 -90.059953
Neighborhoods: French Quarter - CBD, French Quarter
While the service leaves a lot to be desired, the taster's plate with fried chicken, coleslaw and rabbit & sausage jambalaya was great!
Yum, Yum, and Yum! – It's busy and loud, but OMG - it's AWESOME!!! This place has the best Jambalaya I've ever had.
We never experienced anything like what one of the previous posters said - the wait/serving staff were very nice, and they were pretty fast to get us seated. We did have a wait, but COME ON!!! It's NOLA! You're going to wait for good food! We only waited about 5-10 minutes to get in, and as soon as a seat cleared, they were cleaning it to get it ready for the next person.
ALSO - the Margarita's have the MOST BANG for your buck! The taste is awesome, and they use LOTS of liquor. :)
We will be going to go back there every time we're in town.
Rude! Rude! Rude! – My family and I attempted to dine at Coop's Place tonight after reading such wonderful Citysearch reviews. Unfortunately the front of house was obnoxious and potentially even racist. She asked us to wait outside in 27 degree weather and was completely unwilling to accommodate us in these weather conditions politely.
I understand that a restaurant might have a first come, first served policy. But it is unacceptable to either a) not allow people to wait at the bar for a table or b) provide a buzzer or take a telephone number so you can notify the party when a table is available.
If New Orleans wants to really put its face on the culinary map, it'll need to change it's front of house service immediately. The food is great, but the service is sub-par.
Coop's Place – I'm not disappointed when I go to Coop's because I don't have high expectations. It's a hole in the wall. The food is good. The best BLT I've ever had. I love their seasoned french fries. The gumbo is super spicy and loaded with seafood. It's just good food. Don't expect great service. It's primarily a bar, so 21 and up only. Coop's is 100% a local hangout. They serve food til midnight. I reccomend it.
Been there TWICE, my first and last time! – Seven of us were in New Orleans this past four days for the French Quarter Festival. One of our group had never been to N.O. and had read about Coop's on the internet. When we arrived, we found a reasonable waiting line, but no one was taking names for seating. Actually, an altercation almost ensued because of this. Once inside, we ordered a round of drinks and placed our orders. Several ordered the "Taste Plate", as I did. After, what seemed to be a long time, salads and gumbo arrived. The gumbo was barely warm. Our meals began to arrive and my red beans and rice were warm, but the other items were cold. I called to the waiter and asked if he would warm up my plate in the microwave because of it being cold; he said they didn't have a microwave and it would be awhile. About 10 minutes later, the waiter returned.....the meal now looked really dried out, the waiter said he had placed it in the broiler and to be careful as the plate was very hot. The plate was hot, but nothing that had been cold before was any warmer. We didn't see the waiter again until he presented a bill for $161 which included a 20% gratuity. I called to him and told him I would only pay for the gumbo. He applied an $11 credit, recalculated his 20% and dropped the bill on the table. No apologies, no concern that we were less than pleased, no visit to our table during the course of the meal to ask if our meal was satisfactory or if we wanted another round of drinks, nothing! In my opinion Coop's failed the all of the basics, except for being able to apply an accurate 20% gratuity.
Low key good food – This tiny restaurant is about as basic as it gets. You stand around and hope a table will open up, and peruse the menu on the chalkboard while you wait. By the time you sit down you probably know what you're going to get. Service is sketchy - while our waitress was extremely nice, she was also extremely busy, and we had to wait a while before placing our drink order. Drinks were stiff, and food came quickly. The jambalaya took my breath away, and my friend's seafood gumbo was just as good. Fried chicken and red beans 'n rice also got raves. Definitely a place worth experiencing, but those who prefer fine dining of the white tablecloth and tuxedo'd wait staff variety will likely hate it.
A great, unassuming eating place – Some places are just restaurants/bars -- not "five-star" restaurants, not "haute cuisine" restaurants, but just "good food" restaurants. Coop's Place is one of these. The door hangs askew. The cobwebs hang plenty. Stella, the cat, hangs around. The food? Well, it "hangs ten"!
Creole or Cajun, you can sample it here, tampered with just enough to make it unique and exceptional. The fried chicken and red beans/rice is awesome. The sampler platter is exceptional. The drinks are authentic and ample in alcohol.
Don't come here for the repuatation, come here for the food. The dinginess will ameliorate the former, but nothing can diminish the latter.
Dirtier means better food in LA – It's what the locals say and they mean it. It wasn't the cleanest place but the food was simmering with flavor. Make sure to ask what food is best what day of the week. Yes, New Orleans has a general menu they follow in all restaurants. This place was packed and for goood reason I went back three times that week. Red Beans and Rice, Gumbo and the Cajun Seafood Pasta were great. Cheap too. Definetly a do if your not a "clean snob".
Good foundation and great atmosphere, poor execution – I visited Coop's tonight along with a couple of friends while here in New Orleans for work. I'm on a nationwide (and New Orleans) quest for the best jambalaya/ Coop's was recommended by another coworker who was a New Orleans local, so I was excited to try it. We even received great feedback from a another group who visited Coops earlier that same evening. Unfortunately, our experience at Coops wasn't as memorable.
The atmostphere was fantastastic: hole in the wall, with two bar workers who look like they just got back from their own versions of "into the Wild". They were courteous enough. We sat at the bar and ordered jambalaya, jambalaya surpreme, and fried chicken. Both orders of jambalaya, though flavorful, were a bit dry and--here's the kicker--both had ice-cold spots, which is a sure sign they had been microwaved. My friend and I were very disappointed. I expect more authenticity from a place with such a good reputation. I'm afraid that Coops has fallen into the "exploit our reputation" trap that too many restuarants succumb to. Too bad. I really wanted to love this place and to recommend it to my visiting friends. Therefore, I give it a 3 star rating (though it probably deserves less) because the poor experience pulls down the flavor of the food.
Absolutely delicious! – Do yourself a favor and check this place out. We stumbled upon it by accident and I couldn't have been happier with the meal. Try the two piece fried chicken with rabbit & sausage jamabalaya and coleslaw. I will definitely be back.
AVOID AT ALL COST – I seated myself which is fine. The reluctant waiter came and gave me the menu. I was sitting at the bar, and since somebody left at a closeby table I wanted to be reseated. The cleaning of the table consisted of wiping with an unclean piece of cloth and throwing the trash on the floor.
I ordered the Coop's sampler. The gumbo had some odd cold stuff in it, the rabbit jambalay was burnt had NO rabbit meat at all. The Shrimp creole was some tomatoes out of a can and two pcs of shrimp. THe fried chicken was soaked in salt before frying.
One of the most horrible meals I have ever eaten and the rudest of waiter. I visited on 26th of October, 2008 around 8pm

No. 4: Florida State
By Paul Myerberg // Aug 31, 2011
Vintage. Vintage is watching Notre Dame not for the sense of schadenfreude you get from watching Syracuse win in South Bend but for the fact that the Irish are a title contender. Vintage is Nebraska-Oklahoma, and we're all sad that rivalry is officially dead. Vintage is Steve Spurrier riling up the SEC; is Alabama intimidating all comers; is T.C.U. back as a national power after decades spent in the background; is Michigan not cowering in front of Ohio State; is West Virginia going the unorthodox route. Vintage is Florida State in the top five, where the Seminoles made a home for 14 straight years, from 1987-2000. Vintage is all that the Seminoles are in 2011: big, fast, strong, quick and mean — now that's vintage, both for Florida State and college football at large.

Last year's prediction
Calm down, take a deep breath and relax. This season will be marked by transitions, both along the sidelines and on the field, with this proud program searching for its voice under this new coaching staff — the first new staff since 1976, Bowden's debut season. What should we expect? Remember: in the big picture, this is a very young team — especially on defense. A new day has dawned in Tallahassee, one that should have fans primed for a revival in the near future. I think strides will be taken in 2010, but F.S.U. is not quite ready to be viewed as one of the Top 25 teams — teams, not in terms of its talent — in the country. This team is close… but let's give Fisher one year to remove the negatives — lack of effort, for starters — that plagued Bowden's last teams. If the early reports are to be believed, he's already pushed this team forward in that area.
2010 recap
In a nutshell A very important note about Florida State in 2010: the Seminoles finished 6-2 in A.C.C. play. Why is that vital? Because Bobby Bowden — the great Bobby Bowden — never finished better than 5-3 in conference action following the A.C.C.'s split into two divisions in 2005. If you know nothing else about F.S.U. in 2010, you know enough. There's more to know, of course. You need to know that Jimbo Fisher has fit like a glove; that Mark Stoops, the first-year defensive coordinator, had his group playing inspired football; that there are many, many young players due to play significant roles in 2011 and beyond; and that — and this is also vital — Florida State will only get better. And the Seminoles were already pretty good in 2010. Fisher had an immediate impact, to put it lightly. Accountability was in; anything less than a supreme effort was out. Toughness was in; folding like a deck of cards was out. Offensive balance, strong offensive line play, speed and more speed defensively — all this was in, which was a bit of a change. Again, repeat after me: Florida State is only going to get better.
High point A tie for first: a 45-17 win over Miami (Fla.) and a 31-7 win over Florida. So that answers the question as to the best team in the Sunshine State, doesn't it? Both were convincing, not just on the scoreboard but in the way the Seminoles manhandled their two in-state rivals. Very, very convincing.
Low point Three losses to conference competition, including a 44-33 decision to Virginia Tech in the A.C.C. title game. The defeat featured a very poor defensive performance from a group that took a sizable step forward in 2010. Another foul defensive showing: Oklahoma 47, F.S.U. 17. Here's guessing the Seminoles hang a little closer in a few weeks.
Tidbit Playing 14 games helps, as does the fact that F.S.U. has only had nine coaches in its history. But Fisher was the first coach in program history to win at least 10 games in his debut season; even Bowden, who went 5-6 in 1976, needed two years to reach double-digit wins. Of course, then Bowden went on to win 10 or more games another 18 times before retiring in 2009.
Tidbit (majors edition) What's the most popular major on the Florida State football team? That would be Interdisciplinary Social Sciences, which the university describes as being "designed to provide a broad background for understanding public affairs and an education for useful citizenship in the American democracy." Also popular: Exploratory I, Criminology and Biological Science.
Tidbit (three-win climb edition) Maybe you should sit down. Get this: with improved efforts on both sides of the ball come additional wins. For F.S.U., scoring 1.3 more points per game and allowing 11.4 less points per game led to, you guessed, another three notches in the win column. And that's a serious climb defensively: from 94th nationally in 2009 to 20th in 2010. One quick note: F.S.U. might want to consider who's next at defensive coordinator, as Mark Stoops may be getting a promotion in four months.
Former players in the N.F.L.
37 LB Mister Alexander (Houston), OT Alex Barron (New Orleans), WR Anquan Boldin (Baltimore), RB Lorenzo Booker (Minnesota), DE Everette Brown (Carolina), DT Brodrick Bunkley (Denver), CB Tony Carter (Minnesota), CB Antonio Cromartie (New York Jets), DE Chauncey Davis (Atlanta), DT Darnell Dockett (Arizona), DT Andre Fluellen (Detroit), K Graham Gano (Washington), WR Richard Goodman (San Diego), DT Letroy Guion (Minnesota), LB Geno Hayes (Tampa Bay), OG Montrae Holland (Dallas), S Chris Hope (Tennessee), OG Rodney Hudson (Kansas City), K Sebastian Janikowski (Oakland), FB Greg Jones (Jacksonville), CB Bryant McFadden (Pittsburgh), C Ryan McMahon (Atlanta), DE Eric Moore (New England), TE Caz Piurowski (Seattle), QB Christian Ponder (Minnesota), CB Patrick Robinson (New Orleans), S Myron Rolle (Tennessee), LS Garrison Sanborn (Buffalo), LB Ernie Sims (Indianapolis), LB Kendall Smith (Arizona), RB Antone Smith (Atlanta), LB Lawrence Timmons (Pittsburgh), RB Leon Washington (Seattle), LB Dekoda Watson (Tampa Bay), LB Markus White (Washington), OT Ray Willis (Miami), LB Kamerion Wimbley (Oakland).
Arbitrary top five list
F.S.U. wide receivers in the N.F.L.
1. Fred Biletnikoff (1965-78).
2. Anquan Boldin (2003-present).
3. Laveranues Coles (2000-9).
4. Jessie Hester (1985-95).
5. Javon Walker (2002-9).
Jimbo Fisher (Salem College '89), 10-4 after his first season at the head of one of college football's premier programs. Fisher has been a part of the F.S.U. staff since 2007, when he was hired by Bowden to run the Seminoles' sputtering offense. A year later, Fisher was tabbed as the coach-in-waiting when Bowden opted to retire. For all the struggles F.S.U. went through from 2007-9, it's difficult to place any blame upon Fisher's offense. The Seminoles averaged nearly 32 points per game from 2008-9 – the 434 points scored in 2008 was the program's most since 2000 – while the defense set new program lows in 2009. It's because of the success of his offense that Fisher was able to escape Florida State's recent downturn unscathed, with his reputation intact and the promise surrounding this new era at a fever pitch. In some ways, though few coaches would embrace the opportunity to replace a legend like Bowden, his predecessor's struggles over the last decade allow Fisher a bit of leeway as he adjusts to his new position. But don't be confused: this is Florida State, and winning means everything. Fisher is accustomed to serving under the limelight, both as offensive coordinator at F.S.U. and in his service in the same capacity at L.S.U. (2000-6). The Tigers went 70-20 over Fisher's seven-year period as coordinator, reaching seven bowl games, winning a pair of SEC championships (2001, 2003) and the 2003 national championship. His F.B.S. experience includes a season as the quarterbacks coach at Cincinnati (1999) and six seasons as the quarterbacks coach at Auburn (1993-98). At Auburn, Fisher coached under Terry Bowden and alongside Tommy Bowden, then the offensive coordinator. His time as an assistant coach began under one Bowden, Terry (at Samford University), and ended under another, Bobby. Florida State fans sincerely hope he learned more from the latter Bowden, obviously. All systems are go.
Tidbit (coaching edition) The entire staff remains intact, from offensive coordinator James Coley to offensive line coach Rick Trickett and everyone in between. And yes, that includes defensive coordinator Mark Stoops, though he will soon turn his impressive resume into a major head coaching position. But after learning together in 2010, it's very important to F.S.U. that the entire staff returned in 2011.
Players to watch
Click, drag, highlight, copy, paste. Here's what I wrote about Florida State's junior quarterback E.J. Manuel in March, and I see no reason to amend a word:
Manuel has patiently waited for this opportunity, never overcoming the second spot on the depth chart but stepping in for short periods as Christian Ponder's injury replacement over the last two seasons. He did so down the stretch last fall, leading F.S.U. to a hard-earned win over Clemson on Nov. 13 and starting the team's loss in the A.C.C. title game and bowl win over South Carolina. Like his predecessor in the starting lineup, Manuel is an accurate passer — he completed nearly 70 percent of his passes last fall — who can also hurt teams with his legs. In fact, thanks to Ponder's injury issues in 2010, Manuel might stand as an improvement under center for the Seminoles. He'll need to take control of the offense as a first-year starter, but his prior experience in the lineup will help smooth the transition.
I couldn't have said it better myself. The Manuel era under center has been wildly anticipated since his arrival four years ago, with Ponder's high level of play the only thing preventing the junior from assuming his perceived birthright as the F.S.U. starter. Well, Ponder's no longer here; it's Manuel's time to shine. And shine he will, to the point where I'm surprised that more aren't touting his status as a dark horse Heisman contender. I can see it, though it's also clear that Manuel needs to do some work before entering the nation's upper echelon of players at the position.
Some of this will come with time, added snaps with the first-team in practice and key snaps between the white lines on Saturday. But Manuel, as accurate as he's shown himself to be, has dabbled with the odd interception here are there; four in less than 100 attempts last fall, compared with Ponder's eight in roughly 300 attempts. Why was Ponder such a nice quarterback for this team? Because while talented enough to win games on his own, Ponder rarely lost games for the Seminoles — well, maybe the loss to Oklahoma, though F.S.U. dropped that one before the opening whistle. Manuel needs to take a page out of Ponder's play book: be careful, be consistent, look towards the middle of the field in the intermediate game, don't be afraid to throw it away. But Manuel does take more chances, which will lead to a few more turnovers than his predecessor. Even though Manuel has some things to work on, I'm every excited about his potential as Florida State's starter.
The receiver corps would have returned every single player to make at least one reception in 2010, but would-be senior Taiwan Easterling opted to pursue his baseball career rather than return for his final season. With his departure, F.S.U. must replace 43 receptions for 551 yards and 5 touchdowns. I couldn't be less worried, with all due respect for Easterling's ability. As at running back, which I'll touch on below, the Seminoles have a top tier of experienced hands and a sizable crop of yet-unproven youngsters, with the latter group benefiting from Easterling's early departure. The top group is paced by senior Bert Reed (58 catches for 614 yards), a three-year starter who's steady but unspectacular. All good teams need a Reed, but F.S.U. could use more game-breaking talent at receiver. After a strong finish to 2010 — most of his work came from November on — perhaps junior Rodney Smith (31 for 448) becomes Manuel's favorite target.
Junior Willie Haulstead (38 for 587) is right there with Reed and Smith, though he'll miss the season opener following a concussion. That's your experienced top slice at the position, though it's far more interesting to consider the wealth of talent the Seminoles have rising up the pipeline. Two sophomores, Greg Dent and Jarred Haggins, look to be the first receivers off the bench while Haulstead works himself back into the rotation. Both ooze talent; both were very strong during the spring. And it doesn't end there: F.S.U. has redshirt freshman Christian Green, sophomore Kenny Shaw and true freshmen Rashad Greene and Kelvin Benjamin, among a few others. Florida State returns starting tight end Beau Reliford (17 for 198), though he's not a polished pass-catcher. If Reliford makes a larger impact as a blocker, keep an eye on incoming freshman Nick O'Leary as Manuel's favorite receiving target at the position.
The offensive line moves forward without all-American left guard Rodney Hudson, who's one of the best — and underappreciated — interior linemen over the last decade of college football. The early train of thought had returning starter David Spurlock, a senior, moving over from right guard to fill Hudson's shoes; it seems today, however, that F.S.U. will instead simply insert sophomore Bryan Stork, one of last year's leading reserves, into the open spot. That's really the only surprise up front, and it's not all that much of a surprise, to be honest. You can't fault the Seminoles for looking to maintain some consistency, and Spurlock teams with senior right tackle Zebrie Sanders to form an imposing strong side of the line.
Replacing Ryan McMahon at center is JUCO transfer Jacob Fahrenkrug, who was recruited for this task. Recruit, sign, start. If F.S.U. and Rick Trickett identified Fahrenkrug as McMahon's replacement, it's good enough for me. Rounding out the starting line is senior left tackle Andrew Datko, a four-year starter and all-American candidate. One more note on Trickett and Florida State: after a few years of growing pains, the offensive line looks terrific along the starting line. Depth is a bit of an issue, as there's a pretty significant gap between the starters and the reserves. If F.S.U. stays healthy, everything will be fine.
My goodness. Seriously? There isn't a senior to be found along Florida State's defensive line? That can't be right. Let me get this straight: a group that rapidly developed into one of the nation's best down the stretch also doubles as one of the nation's youngest? That can't be right. Oh, it's right, and it's the primary reason why I think F.S.U. is going to take another significant climb defensively in 2011. This line should scare the pants off every offensive lineman, every offensive coordinator, every quarterback and every team on Florida State's schedule. It's the deepest defensive front in the country, and the Seminoles might just be getting warmed up. I just scared myself.
Just naming starters doesn't work, as F.S.U. is going to rotate a tremendous amount of linemen both inside and out. There are starters, mind you, but a reserve may end up playing a similar number of snaps — if not more snaps, based on how an individual lineman plays in a specific game or performs on the practice field during the week. But if you want starters, here are your likely four: junior Brandon Jenkins (63 tackles, 2.15 for loss, 13.5 sacks) and sophomore Bjorn Werner (20 tackles, 3.5 sacks) at end; juniors Everett Dawkins (39 tackles, 6 for loss) at tackle; juniors Anthony McCloud (35 tackles) or Jacobbi McDaniel (31 tackles, 5.5 for loss) at nose guard.
McDaniel's value increases when you consider he can play both interior spots: big enough to stand up at nose guard, he's athletic enough to play a penetrating role alongside McCloud. Now, as great as this starting group is — and Jenkins is a future star, if he's not already — where the Seminoles really separate themselves from the competition is with depth. JUCO transfer Tank Carradine has pushed Werner for the starting role, though he'll probably end up being the first end off the bench. Sophomore Demonte McAllister (16 tackles, 3 sacks) is a leading interior reserve, as are redshirt freshman Cameron Erving, true freshman Tim Jernigan and junior Moses McCray, the heaviest interior lineman, though he's still recovering from last season's knee injury. Jernigan has already turned some heads. I'm telling you: this front four is filthy.
And they'll do a great job keeping the F.S.U. linebackers clean. Not that the Seminoles are putting out a starting trio of pipsqueaks, mind you: each of the three projected starters come in at around 240 pounds, though things could change in the middle. The leader is senior weak side linebacker Nigel Bradham (98 tackles, 5 sacks), the team's leading tackler in each of the last two years. Of anyone along the second level, Bradham seems to benefit the most from the increased depth and girth up front: no one doubts his ability, merely his consistency, and the senior should have more opportunities to flash his athleticism in 2011.
Sophomore Christian Jones gets the nod on the strong side after playing in all 14 games last fall, often with the first-team defense, but F.S.U. still has a decision to make in the middle. Either it's junior Vince Williams or sophomore Telvin Smith. The former has the prototypical size of a middle linebacker, but Smith's range and running ability — he played on the weak side in 2010 — is intriguing. Williams will play more against the pro-style teams on the schedule, while Smith will be valuable against the spread-based offenses.
Here's guessing cornerback Greg Reid really breaks out as a junior. Not that he hasn't already made an impact: Reid finished second on the team with three picks last fall while continuing to be a menace on special teams. But he's dangerously close to becoming the player most expected him to become when he inked with the Seminoles three years ago — one of the best cornerbacks in the country, not to mention a rare athletic talent who can be a game-changer both defensively and in the return game. The end result of the fall competition on the opposite side was a bit surprising: senior Mike Harris, last year's nickel back, has claimed the starting role ahead of sophomore Xavier Rhodes (58 tackles, 4 interceptions), a reigning freshman all-American.
That may not last long, however. Rhodes' demotion is primarily a motivational tool from Stoops, who feels very secure in having Harris as the starter while Rhodes works his way back into the staff's good graces. Another reason why Rhodes will eventually reclaim his starting role: Harris is just too good as a nickel back not to remain in that spot. He's a weapon. The key to the entire secondary may not Reid's development into an all-American but rather the play of sophomore free safety Lamarcus Joyner, a converted cornerback. His ability to play center field will help offset some of the coverage liabilities found in the strong safety pairing of senior Terrance Parks (44 tackles) and junior Nick Moody (79 tackles), who are strong inside the box but not great against the pass.
As a whole, don't underestimate the importance of a second season under Stoops. There was a learning curve underway for much of last year, though you wouldn't tell it by looking at the results. Year two will find the F.S.U. defenders more knowledgeable in their assignments and more confident, which will lead to another step forward statistically. The defense is defined by what it can do up front, and that line is absolutely terrifying.
The F.S.U. special teams are as good as they come. Kicker Dustin Hopkins is fairly consistent, but it's his long-range ability — and stress-free late-game ability — that makes his valuable. Punter Shawn Powell is coming off one of the better seasons in program history, and Reid is there to make plays on both punts and kickoffs.
Position battle(s) to watch
Running back Competition is wonderful. Well, not always: competition between two backup quarterbacks fighting for the starting role is ugly, disheartening and nearly always disappointing. The competition underway at several positions in Tallahassee is the wonderful sort of competition — between several gifted options, each of which could start and produce when given the opportunity. Take the situation at running back, for instance. Junior Chris Thompson has shown the ability to lead the way on the ground after leading the Seminoles with 845 yards rushing last fall, cracking the 100-yard mark three times along the way. Senior Jermaine Thomas (490 yards, 6 scores) was a solid secondary option in 2010, though he's battled a few injury concerns in the early fall — as has Thompson, who has since returned to the field but missed a few weeks this month with a back ailment. Senior Ty Jones chipped in 527 yards on the ground a year ago, meaning this lead trio combined to rush for 1,862 yards and 17 scores in 2010. That's a serious total. And the Seminoles aren't done yet — not by a long shot. There's a pair of incoming freshmen battling for carries, and based on what Fisher and his staff have seen thus far, at least one is going to be too good to keep off the field. As of today, it's the somewhat lesser-regarded of the two rookies — based on each player's recruiting ranking — who finds himself on the still-to-be-updated depth chart: stocky Devonte Freeman, not James Wilder, is running third behind Thompson and Jones, with Thomas seemingly not listed because of those injury issues. Five deep, perhaps six if you count fullback Lonnie Pryor, who can also get it done. So you can see why F.S.U. didn't panic when some thought Thompson's back injury would cause him to miss substantial time. He won't, it's believed, so F.S.U. is loaded. The Seminoles are loaded even without Thompson, actually.
Game(s) to watch
The game with Oklahoma has it all: two prestigious programs, two rosters chock-full of next-level and, of course, national title implications. It's the first of a handful of marquee tests F.S.U. must pass in order to play for a national title, joining road games against Clemson and Florida and home dates with N.C. State and Miami.
Season breakdown & prediction
In a nutshell Up, up and away. Welcome back to the big time, Florida State. And it took only two years, though Fisher's task was made a bit easier by his built-in comfort level with the program and roster thanks to his assistant turn under his predecessor. But that shouldn't detract in the least from what Fisher and his staff achieved in 2010, which has paved a way for this team to take another significant step forward this fall. I'm talking a jump from 10-4 to 14-0, though there's that looming date with Oklahoma growing closer and closer in the distance. What needs to go right in order for F.S.U. to run the table? Not all that much, but the small factors that must go this team's way is what provides the slight distance between the Seminoles and Alabama, Boise State and the Sooners, the three best teams in the country, in my mind. Manuel needs to be the player F.S.U. believe he can be. The receiver corps needs to find a difference-maker, and I think it's going to be one of the youngsters. The offensive line must remain healthy. Bradham needs to be a leader at linebacker; Reid needs to play on an all-American level; and Joyner needs to solidify the back end of the F.S.U. secondary. Here's the good news: I can see each and every one of those things coming to pass with ease. And that's the reason why F.S.U. is here, right among the top four teams in the country, merely two years into Fisher's tenure. I think the Seminoles drop one game in the regular season — and no, I'm not automatically saying that loss will be Oklahoma. This outstanding defensive line could chew up and spit out the O.U. offensive front, mind you. But I think we'll see one slip-up for a relatively young team, albeit one with solid experience. But if I had to bet money today on one program that will win a national title in the next three years, I'd let it all ride on the Seminoles.
Dream season A home win over Oklahoma propels F.S.U. to a perfect regular season, a win over Virginia Tech in the A.C.C. title game and an opportunity to play for the national championship.
Nightmare season With the talent and coaching in Tallahassee, anything less than 9-3 would be a supreme disappointment.
In case you were wondering
Where do Florida State fans congregate? Warchant.com and Nole Digest house the two largest and most dedicated message boards for F.S.U. chatter, but the best football coverage is found at Tomahawk Nation. The latter is really, really tremendous, for F.S.U. and non-F.S.U. fans alike. As always, let me know of any sites I may have missed.

Great write up Paul. Outstanding. Just wanted to note it's Christian Jones, not Christian Scott.
Paul: Thanks, fixed it above. Who is Christian Scott? There's someone in CFB with that name.
Can't be Boise State since they haven't been a 1-A team long enough to have that distinction.
I'll guess it's Bama.
Ooops mis-read the clue. It's Oklahoma.
Christian Scott is a safety at Texas who's been suspended for three games for an assault charge.
Boise State in the top 2? Wow…
Brandon Jenkins should be 21.5 TFL, not 2.15, which slams your point home nicely! Great article, gave me goosebumps!
Go Noles!
Another great site for FSU is noles247, very good recuiting and team insight
By about 11:30 this Saturday we'll have to rethink the Boise ranking one way or another. So I'll just relax for now.
Don't we get credit for Preston Parker in the NFL (with the bucs)?
Although it's possible for IAA teams to also win 10+ games in a season.
Broncosports lists the following 10 win seasons for Boise State:
1971, 1973, 1974, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 & 2010
They won 10+ games three straight seasons only 5 times, though. 79-81, 02-04, 06-07, 07-09, 08-10.
Fantastic breakdown Paul.
Has there ever been a top 5, or top 10 with as many 1st year quaterbacks as there are this year.
Maybe that's why Boise is so high. Shoemaker has his work cut out for him though.
Eastern Washington turned their field blood-red, went undefeated at home and won the national title. These colored fields are magic.
Looks like coach-in-waiting isn't always a failed experiement after all. But I'm glad it's waning, much more fun for the fans to see the searchs done in real time after the season ends.
Great write-up. As a Noles fans who had to endure the slings and arrows of the "Lost Decade" Fisher's been all I could hope for and more. He's also killing it in recruiting.
I'm going to say OU for #3.
yeah, looks like it's the sooners.
Great job on this analysis of the Florida State program. I also enjoyed your litany of vintage programs, rivalries and accomplishments in the beginning of the artitcle. At some point you need to write about Texas, ESPN and the Longhorn Network. This is a major factor in what is happening to the Big 12 and has broader implications for the future of college football. It has hardly received any meaningful coverage. Again nice job.
So, if Boise is coming in at #2 (or #1!), then by how much do they need to beat #26 Georgia to avoid dropping in the rankings?
Boise needs to win by at least two touchdowns to cement their ranking, no?
It's essentially a home game for Georgia. I think any margin of victory for Boisie would suffice.
So if Bama were to start the season playing #25 Houston (in Texas) and won by just a field goal no one would be asking questions?
En route to its 20 Greek championships and 17 Greek Cup victories, the football division of Panathinaikos Athlitikos Omilos recorded 10 wins each season from 1926-1929, 1970-1973, 1982-1987, and 1990-1996.
Panathinaikos FC is next. Go Shamrocks!
Paul: Very well played.
DMK, there's two arguments being conflated here – one, whether BSU is overrated, and two, the extent to which style points/margin of victory matter in rankings.
I'll leave the former alone until the BSU write-up.
As for the latter, personally I think they should matter not at all. Different teams are built to do different things – some are going to win shoot-outs and end up 21 points ahead because their opponants got gassed, and some are going to grind out tough defensive/ball-control efforts. Neither is inherently more impressive than the other. In practice I think it matters very little – margin of victory might be the difference in ranking between two teams with identical records and strength of schedules, but how often does that happen?
It's pretty much moot anyway – we all know BSU's path to the title game – it has to run the table and hope no more than 1 BCS team does the same.
BTW in your scenario, people might ask questions but I highly doubt 'Bama would drop in rank after beating a ranked team on the road. Maybe if the team right behind them had some unbelievable win the same week over an even higher-ranked team…

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This is such a beautiful design! The paper is very sturdy and stands up well on its own, and both the color of the paper itself and the color of the leaves in the design are rich and very pretty. I requested for the designer to slightly change the format of the placecard (we are writing names instead of table numbers on them) and they did exactly what I asked for. I would highly recommend this product to anyone!"
"These place cards are PERFECT and 100% what I was looking for! They look amazing in person and I was able to pick three colors of the star fish for our three different dinner options. The best part was the customer service that I received when ordering. The process was easy and stress-free. THANK YOU!"
"I requested the table line to be omitted as we only had one table, and it was done immediately. They also caught that I hadn't selected the pearl shimmer paper to match our menus. Great customer service!!"
"Although the purple and grey is a great color combo, our wedding colors and grey and navy. It was easy to customize to our colors and they turned out great. As always the product arrived on time and looked even better in person. I can't wait to have them on my tables!"
"i absolutely love those place cards , i have ordered them with programs from the same line and they look stunning together .... the design is very beautiful , the colors are perfect and match my wedding theme ( p.s: i had them customize the cards in navy blue and smoke ) i will give 5 stars + for the service , they sent me proofs of the cards before printing them and i reviewed them twice before ordering and i got the perfect end result that i wished for Shipped in time all in all excellent!"

Baby Girl Stack Baby Shower Announcement
Oh hush thee my baby, a story I'll tell, about the day we came together to celebrate your upcoming debut! Use this fun card to invite friends and family over to celebrate the arrival of the newest family member with a grand shower!
Designed by Erin Madsen, courtesy of Die Cuts with a View®.
Material List
- 12" x 12" Die Cuts with a View® Baby Girl Stack
- 1 Sheet of White Cardstock
- Bakers Twine (will need approx. 10 1/2" for each card)
- Coordinating Ink Pad
- Scoring Tool
- Paper Trimmer
- Scissors
- Paper Crafting Adhesive
Project Instructions
Select 4 coordinating prints from the DCWV Baby Girl stack.
Take the first print (base of card) and cut a 5 ½"x8 ½" piece of cardstock. Score down the middle (4 ¼") and fold card in half.
Take out 10 ½" of bakers twine. Adhere 5 ¼" section to the top, middle section of the card. Tie 2 bows and adhere them with a glue dot to each end of the twine; this forms the banner.
To form triangle pennants on the front of card, cut 2 triangles (¾"x ¾"x ¾") from the next piece of cardstock. Using image as a reference, adhere those just underneath the outside edges of the twine. Cut 2 larger square pennants, each out of different prints, with the sides measuring at least 1" long. Adhere those directly on the front of the card, approximately ¼" away from the triangle pennants. Finally, cut out a onesie from the white cardstock and adhere this directly to the center.
Finish off card by using ink pad to add shading to the outside edges.
Repeat as needed.
*Use different sheets from the stack for the actual card. This will use more paper from the stack and leave less to be purchased for multiple invitations.
*Add rhinestones or pearls to the front of the onesie to give it shine and added dimension.
