No. 111: Buffalo
By Paul Myerberg // May 11, 2011
Say one thing for Buffalo in 2010: in the past, 2-10 would have been greeted with a shrug. While it's not quite met with indignation these days, last fall's slide was greeted with frustration, which is a start. In other words, Buffalo has won, and the fans like the way it feels. That's a big first step for a program that has experienced nothing but heartbreak and disappointment for decades. Think of it as the development of a program: losing is step one; unexpected success step two; consistent success step three; unexpected excellence step four; consistent excellence step five. Buffalo mastered step one, experienced a taste of step two but needs to pass the next significant hurdle, that of winning with consistency.

Last year's prediction
In Quinn's favor is a relatively easy schedule, which features at least one winnable game in non-conference play and the aforementioned favorable stretch in MAC action. Yet, as stated, I have a few concerns. First is the status of the offense, which will be significantly weaker at quarterback and receiver. The defensive line is not in great shape, though perhaps the Bulls can offset that weakness with a strong back seven on defense. That back seven does rank among the best in the MAC, but will it be enough to help Buffalo improve upon last season's defensive decline? I like Quinn, but I believe 2010 will be a rebuilding year for this program: let's see if Quinn has the dedication and coaching acumen to replicate Gill's success.
2010 recap
In a nutshell What went right? Not much. The offense was a failure; unable to run the no-huddle look, the Bulls were as inept as any group in the country. The Bulls landed only one win over F.B.S. competition after four consecutive seasons of at least three victories in MAC play. The only MAC win came against Bowling Green, which went 2-10 itself — the win did come on the road, to give Quinn's team some credit. What was really strange, however, is that Buffalo was never really bad in the New Mexico sense of the word, just not good. Rarely blown out, often very competitive and always giving their all, the Bulls were never painful to watch, merely frustrating. That's quite a compliment for a two-win team, by the way.
High point A 28-26 win at Bowling Green. The victory pushed Buffalo to 2-3, joining a 31-0 victory over Rhode Island in the season opener. The road win over the Falcons was Buffalo's most complete game of the year: 441 yards of offense, great balance offensively, solid work on third down, 176 yards allowed on defense and a sizable advantage in time of possession. All went well, minus the six Buffalo turnovers. Yeah, six turnovers.
Low point Relative competitiveness in each of the conference losses, minus an ugly two-week showing against Temple and Northern Illinois. That doesn't excuse a 21-17 loss at home to Eastern Michigan, and it sure doesn't excuse a loss to Akron in the season finale; the Zips entered that game winless.
Tidbit Statistical categories where Buffalo improved from 2009 to 2010: pass defense, total defense, fumbles, kickoff returns, punt returns, net punting and penalties. That's not too bad, right? Well, the Bulls certainly did take a sizable step back elsewhere, as one would expect after going 2-10. Among the most egregious: 9.9 fewer points per game, down to 14.2 points per game; 107.7 fewer yards of offense per game; an additional 27.4 yards per game given up on the ground; an additional 4.0 points per game allowed; a six percent on third down conversions; two minutes fewer in time of possession — you get the idea. Those things add up.

Jeff Quinn (Elmhurst College '84), 2-10 after one season at Buffalo. After more than a quarter-century as a college assistant, Quinn finally got his chance — though it wasn't a great start. His 27-year coaching career has seen him pass successful stints on both the F.C.S. and F.B.S. level, most notably as an assistant under Brian Kelly at three stops. Quinn was Kelly's top offensive lieutenant at Grand Valley State, Central Michigan and Cincinnati, winning conference championships at each stop. He spent 15 seasons at Grand Valley State – the final 13 under Kelly – winning a pair of F.C.S. national championships from 2002-3. He followed Kelly to two successive F.B.S. stops, beginning with Central Michigan in 2004. As Kelly's lead assistant, Quinn helped C.M.U. go from four wins in his debut season to a 10-4 mark in 2006, which included a MAC championship and a Motor City Bowl win over Middle Tennessee State. Quinn was the interim coach for that game, following Kelly's early departure for Cincinnati. Quinn joined his mentor shortly thereafter, taking the same position with the Bearcats, and helped U.C. to the best three-year stretch in program history. Cincinnati went 34-6 from 2007-9, winning a pair of Big East titles — and playing in a pair of B.C.S. bowl games — and rolling through the 2009 regular season undefeated. As at Central Michigan, Quinn led Cincinnati into the 2010 Sugar Bowl after Kelly agreed to terms with Notre Dame. It is in this area that Quinn had a leg up on fellow rookie coaches in the F.B.S.; not only did he bring 27 years of assistant experience to the table, but he has twice led a team — as the head man — through bowl preparations. That didn't mean much in 2010, but creating a winning program at Buffalo is a marathon, not a race.
Tidbit (coaching edition) Seeing how the offense struggled with the no-huddle, spread look in 2010, it's really no surprise that Quinn opted to make changes in philosophy and on his coaching staff. Out are offensive coordinator Greg Forrest and wide receivers coach Juan Taylor; in come Alex Wood and Don Patterson. Both have decades of experience: Wood, who was with Miami (Ohio) last fall, has called plays on both the college and N.F.L. level, while Patterson, who was last the head coach at Western Illinois, spent 20 years as an assistant to Hayden Fry at Iowa. Two steady hands to help bridge the way from a spread look to a more conventional attack, though one that maintains many aspects of the spread? That's not a bad idea.
Players to watch
A more streamlined and simplified offense will take enormous pressure off Buffalo's quarterbacks, who didn't take to last season's no-huddle attack. Both starters return: Jerry Davis opened in the year in the starting lineup, lost his job to Alex Zordich then retained his role once Zordich suffered a season-ending rib injury in November. The results weren't pretty for either passer, as the pair combined to complete 46.2 percent of their attempts with 17 touchdowns against 23 interceptions — Davis had 16 of each, while Zordich tossed six picks for his one score. Not exactly what Quinn was looking for, to put it lightly. The pair came into spring camp battling for the starting job this fall, and while nothing has been completely decided, Davis has the edge entering the summer. Now a junior, the hope is that last season's experience and a new outlook on offense leads to a strong showing in 2011.
On paper, the running back combination of sophomore Branden Oliver and junior Jeffvon Gill is a nice one: Oliver's the speedster and Gill the bruiser, so they would compliment each other well, in principle. Not so in 2010. Buffalo was terrible on the ground, averaging 3.1 yards per carry as a team, rushing for three total scores and not once featuring a 100-yard rusher. Looking for improvement on offense? It all starts in the running game, which is why Quinn constantly preached a more physical, downhill attack during the spring. Like at quarterback, it will be the same cast of characters in the backfield, with Oliver and Gill running neck-and-neck for the lead role. Don't sleep on redshirt freshman James Potts, however: he was a highly-touted recruit for Buffalo, and will get his carries come the fall.
The Bulls don't lack for targets in the passing game. All four players with double-digit receptions in 2010 are back this fall, led by leading receiver Marcus Rivers, a senior. He paced the way with 50 receptions for 690 yards, tying fellow senior Ed Young for the team lead with five touchdowns. A third senior, Terrel Jackson, finished second on the team in receptions (43) and yards (497) while earning first-team all-conference honors in the return game; he averaged 16.7 yards per punt return, which ranked among the nation's best. Rivers and Jackson will start, along with sophomore Alex Neutz (26 for 414 yards), while Young, who made the most of his chances — one touchdown grab for every five catches — provides depth. The Bulls have receivers who can make plays; they just need a quarterback who can get them the ball.
Excuses are excuses, but Buffalo's offensive line can be excused for last season's horrible showing, much of which was caused by a slew of injuries. It probably started when Matt Ostrowski broke his leg in September; that led to some shuffling up front, which was further damaged when a handful of other linemen went down to injury. Ostrowski's back now, though not yet really ready for action. That leaves only one other senior, Chris Violante, back in the starting lineup — and he's tied up with Jasen Carlson, a sophomore, for the starting spot at center. The real story up front is the arrival of several new faces, two of whom, spring additions Dillon Guy and Gabriel Barbe, have a very strong shot at starting roles. In fact, despite being a freshman Guy has already claimed top honors at left guard, which speaks in part to his talent, in part to Buffalo's lack of depth and talent returning up front. A strong line would mean a stronger running game, which in part would mean better quarterback play. I'm not altogether confident that the line will see a night-and-day improvement, but the group should be stronger, not to mention deeper.
The defense places an emphasis on linebacker play, being a 3-4 and all, so that the Bulls must replace both inside linebackers — leading tacklers Justin Winters and Raphael Akobundu — is a bit troubling. Helping matters is a healthy Scott Pettigrew, who had 55 tackles in 2009 but missed all of last season with an A.C.L. tear. He'll inhabit one inside spot. Senior Fred Branch has his own injury issues to overcome — injuries of the chronic variety — but is right alongside John Syty and redshirt freshman Lee Skinner in the competition to start next to Pettigrew. The good news is that Buffalo looks terrific on the outside.
More injury concerns? At least a bit: junior Jaleel Verser was just coming into his own last October when an ankle injury cut his season short. If he's able to stay injury-free, Verser will team with sophomore Khalil Mack, a rising star, to form one of the MAC's best outside linebacker duos. Mack was a very pleasant surprise last fall — one of Buffalo's few nice surprises — as a first-year contributor, finishing third on the team in tackles (68), leading the team in tackles for loss (14.5) and tying for the team lead in sacks (4.5). Syty's ability to play both inside and outside will help here, as he can backup at both sides if he loses the starting job to Branch. From top to bottom, linebacker is the strength of the defense.
The defensive line lost two senior starters, but the group's best defender returns: that's junior end Steven Means, who's already a two-year starter — not to mention the only linemen who will force opposing offenses to plan around his ability to get to the quarterback. No, his 9.5 sacks through two seasons doesn't sound like much, but consider the fact that he's playing end in a 3-4 system; maintaining your gap, standing up against the run, is far more valued than getting to the passer. Means does both well, leading all linemen in tackles last fall (50, 8.5 for loss) while tying Mack for the team lead in sacks.
Promoting senior Richie Smith at nose guard is a no-brainer. He's not only the best fit at that spot physically, but Smith is the only interior lineman with proper game experience. His primary understudy, Dalton Barksdale, is an intriguing prospect: his older brother was a star at L.S.U., so you know he has good bloodlines. Senior Gordon DuBois will start opposite Means at end, with sophomore Colby Way as his backup, and JUCO transfer Wyatt Cahill could contribute both inside and outside.
Position battle(s) to watch
Secondary Did any team in the country lose as much in the secondary? Take a glance at the carnage: two all-conference safeties in Davonte Shannon and Domonic Cook, with Shannon ranking as one of the MAC's best at the position over the last three years; a three-year starter at cornerback in Josh Thomas; and senior starter Sherrod Lott, who doubled as Bulls' nickel back as an underclassman. So the losses are extremely substantial, and leave me doubtful that the Bulls can come close to duplicating last season's strong play against the pass. And that's not good news: as noted, the Bulls took a step back last fall in defending the run. Worse news: Buffalo has no sure thing in the secondary, only unproven — albeit talented — options. One such option is sophomore safety Okoye Houston, who should step into a starting role after playing well in a reserve role last fall. He's the youngest of the quartet battling for starts at safety, joining senior Alan Hayes and juniors Ray Anthony Long and Isaac Baugh. Houston's versatility will be a bonus, as he can play both strong and free safety; for now, however, he's running behind Baugh and free safety Josh Copeland, a converted linebacker. As with Houston, Copeland's versatility is intriguing. One corner spot is tied down by former Cincinnati transfer Romel Dismuke, who played under Quinn when he was assisting Brian Kelly. Sophomore Carlos Lemmons was thought to be the favorite to start on the other side, but redshirt freshman Cortney Lester leapt up the depth chart with a solid spring. There's talent here, but there's no way to predict just how well the new-look backfield will fare. As of now, it's a question mark and a concern.
Game(s) to watch
The potential is there for a nice finish. The final month is far from imposing, with road dates against Miami (Ohio) and Eastern Michigan and home games against Akron and Bowling Green.
Season breakdown & prediction
In a nutshell Credit Jeff Quinn for owning up to an error. In hindsight, he did not inherit the right personnel for a speedy, no-huddle offense. One year later, he's accepted blame for the decision and set about to make things right, hiring two experienced assistants who can help the offense move towards a more conventional attack. When Buffalo was winning games under Turner Gill, it was with an offense predicated by the running game. That remains a solid place for Quinn's team to start, especially considering the difficulties with which the offense moved the ball through the air in 2010. So that's good news — to me, at least, even if the change might mean another year of struggles before the light turns on. Big picture: Quinn's still a good fit in Buffalo, 2-10 or no, and even if it takes him another year — or another two years — I'm convinced he has a blueprint. It won't be easy. It will take time. But as his predecessor proved, it is possible to win at Buffalo. Is it possible to win big? Probably not. But while these Bulls will take their lumps, develop some young, identify depth and so on, there's reason for optimism. Little picture: this isn't a great team, or even a very good one, to be honest. There are questions marks all over the offense, though the changes are for the better, and it's hard to imagine the defense remaining as stout while replacing eight lost starters. Big picture, little picture. As was the case with Kent State, Buffalo fans are patient enough to wait through another down year if it means better days are ahead. What's one more losing season?
Dream season The Bulls are back, though not quite all the way to the top of the MAC: 7-5, 6-2 in conference play.
Nightmare season Another two-win season isn't the worst thing in the world, I swear.

Vanderbilt is up next – James H. Kirkland loved irises!
Assuming it is Vanderbilt next, that means 2 of Alabama's 12 opponents for next year are in the bottom 10. Not sure if that's a good thing or not.
Don't forget Georgia Southern and North Texas, I'm sure they won't add much to Alabama's strength of schedule.
If the Quinn era doesn't work for Buffalo, they could do a lot worse than hiring Iowa offensive coordinator Ken O' Keefe. His steady hand and predictable playcalling are the right fit for a program on the rebuild.
but wait: Alabama plays in the vaunted S-E-C, and therefore its out-of-conference schedule is not to be considered. Nor is the abysmal current state of Florida, Penn State, Tennessee and Ole Miss. No– playing in the S-E-C automatically means one has the most difficult possible schedule, week-in and week-out, and there will be no recourse to the actual facts of the subject. It's a gauntlet like no other in sports, end of inquiry.
(did you say Kent State, Penn State, North Texas, discombobulated Florida, Vandy, Ole Miss, not-your-father's-Tennessee, and Georgia Southern in one year? That's pee-your-pants scary!)
Can't beleive I am defending Alabama but they do play in the SEC, winner of the last 5 national championships and they are playing at Penn State this year.
Go Gators, who will probably be up sooner than I would like.
SEC schedules are definitely top-loaded, but let's face it- the SEC West will most likely have two preseason top 5′s, another top 10, and two additional top 25′s. Ole Miss will be the only unranked team. Then a probable top 15 team in the SEC championship game. Not a rhetorical question- can any other team expect a gauntlet like that?
y'all're missing the point. An S-E-C team does play good teams– maybe three or four of them– in its conference schedule.
But other than the top three or four teams in the conference, the rest of the SEC, most SEC teams' non-conference schedules, are not worth they hype. It's not a weekly grind when fully eight teams on your schedule (ahem, 'Bama) are patsies. (I know Florida isn't usually a patsy, but right now, it is.) It doesn't matter how many recent national champs came from the SEC– 2011 Auburn, Florida, Tennessee, Ole Miss, and Vandy, are not behemoths. THey're rebuilding, or just suck all the time. Throw in North Texas, Kent State, Georgia Southern, and that's… a very average schedule.
Again, I ask, who plays a truly demanding schedule this year, in your opinion?
L.S.U. and Georgia will end the debate on Sept. 3. And how many times do we really have to have this debate? Every shred of evidence from the last decade (or more) supports the SEC as being the strongest conference by miles.
because Utah and Boise didn't end it already? Nay, friend– this debate will rage as long as there are nattering nabobs who reflexively (and therefore thoughtlessly) consider a cartel team or conference strong just because it gets more facetime on ESPN.
Here're two schedules (and I didn't have to look that hard to find 'em) that are miles tougher than 'Bama's:
UNLV and Auburn.
Everyone's ignoring the elephant in the room – is it really so hard to find a picture of a buffalo? Paul, you could have saved this one for USF…
Paul: Yeah, that was a mistake. The picture would actually work for U.S.F., you know, a charging bull. Should have gone with a buffalo. I actually wanted to go with "Bull Shannon" from "Night Court" but couldn't find a good picture.
For the record, using Auburn as a way of saying that the SEC West schedules aren't tough kind of defeats your point, doesn't it? As for UNLV… there's no way of knowing until the season is played, but for now, I find it very hard to believe you think that schedule is equal to playing in the SEC. Maybe as it compares to UNLV's talent it's tougher, but not in a straight comparison. Head to head, only three of those teams could have a hope at winning against the ninth best SEC team.
I don't like the BCS either, but no one will take your argument seriously if you can't agree that winning the SEC (or Big 12 or Big 10, for that matter) is harder than dominating a mid-major.
In all seriousness, though, you guys are talking past each other. It is quite possible to play in the toughest conference in the land (and I don't think anyone can seriously argue that the SEC is not, top-to-bottom, the toughest) and yet still not have a very tough schedule, by virture of a) scheduling Sun Belt and FCS patsies for your non-conference games; and b) not having to play everyone IN your tough conference (i.e. 2 teams in the other division).
There's a big difference between saying a team's luck of the rotation doesn't give them THE toughest schedule (which is probably, honestly, LSU this year, or maybe Florida) and acting like they're playing the MAC. Auburn and Florida are not behemoths, no- they're probably 6th and 7th in the SEC this year, but I'd take them any day against Hawaii and Air Force, the 4th and 5th best teams on UNLV's schedule. Or, for that matter, San Diego State and Air Force from TCU's schedule (behind behemoths Baylor and SMU).
@Dave, I thought the same thing about using a Buffalo but they are called the Bulls, so I guess it fits. Sweet Bull pic though.
you'd take this year's Florida against this year's Air Force? Did you see the Oklahoma-Air Force game last year? And Oklahoma had an offense; Florida very well might not.
You're illustrating my point very nicely, Wes. Folks who dismiss the good non-cartel teams as not as good as the low-tier SEC are sadly misguided. I blame ESPN, which employs an army of these people.
Air Force, Hawaii, new SDSU, BYU (2010 excepted), and certainly TCU and Boise, Utah (sigh) and a few other top-flight non-cartel programs are so much better than you shills for the cartel realize. Oklahoma learned; Alabama learned; Wisconsin learned; when will you?
OK, well, we agree to disagree then. I think Florida and Auburn would have their way with pretty much any non-BCS team, save TCU, Boise, and Utah, two of whom are no longer going to be non-BCS teams.
And stop with the "shills" and "cartels". It instantly makes people dismiss your arguments when you use insulting language.
On the topic of 2011 schedules,
East Carolina has N. Carolina, S.Carolina, Virginia Tech and Navy non conference.
Tulsa has OU, Okie State, and Boise State non conference.
They can't control their conference schedule, but year in and year out, these two schools schedule aggressively and deserve some respect.
You could have also done Bald Bull from Nintendo's Punch-Out, another "Bull" from the 80′s.
It's Josh Violanti, not Chris.

Anand-Gelfand G10, a Rossolimo Sicilian, drawn after 25 moves (VIDEO)
The tiebreak is getting closer and closer now that the 10th match game between Vishy Anand and Boris Gelfand also ended in a draw. Today Anand returned to 1.e4 and went for a Rossolimo Sicilian (3.Bb5) instead of allowing another Sveshnikov. Gelfand came up with a new setup, and held equality quite easily.
The handshake at the start of game 10 in Moscow
The score in Moscow is 5-5 with just two more games to play. Game 11 is scheduled for Saturday and the last game will be played on Monday. If the score is 6-6, a rapid/blitz tiebreak will be played on Wednesday.
In the 10th match game it seemed that the whole atmosphere of the first half of the match was back again. As if nothing had happened, no decisive games, no blunder, no big advantage for Gelfand the day before, the players added another friendly draw to the score. This was the story on a superficial level, but as always much more was going on behind the scenes.
What was the situation? Three games to play, two whites for Anand, one for Gelfand. If the World Champion wanted to try and decide the match in the classical games, it was this 10th match game that perhaps suited most. One can take some risks when there are still two games to play, but in the last game it's tricky.
Anand didn't repeat the 3.f3 Grünfeld with which he had won his previous white game in 17 moves. Why? We can only guess, but one explanation is that he needs more time to find something against the 3...c5 move. Another option is that he has some big idea against the Grünfeld, which he likes to play only in the last game.
No 3.f3 Grünfeld, no Sveshnikov, but the Rossolimo Sicilian
In any case, it was a 3.Bb5 (Rossolimo) Sicilian today and it was quite impressive to see that even against a sideline (Anand hadn't played 5.b3 before) Gelfand had prepared a whole new idea: 5...e5.
It is always nice to play a novelty on move five,
said Gelfand.
It usually happens on move 20 or 25.
To avoid getting a bishop on b2 biting granite, White had to take the pawn and this quickly led to a queenless middlegame with a better structure for White but the bishop pair for Black.
Peter Svidler and Alexander Morozevich, who were doing commentary together for about an hour, felt that the position was equal, but easier to play for White. When Gelfand found the excellent idea of trading one bishop for a knight followed by ...f5 he had more or less equalized.
On move 21 Gelfand offered a draw, but at first Anand declined.
I thought I had something with Nd2-b3 but later I decided to return the offer.
Here's our video of today, which includes an interview with Morozevich at the end. He has some strong opinions!
It remains to be seen whether one of the players is willing to take big risks in the remaining two games on Saturday and Monday. It seems more likely that we'll have a tiebreak that will decide the match next Wednesday, just like in 2006 between Vladimir Kramnik and Veselin Topalov.
The players today at the press conference. Gelfand: "I want to praise Vishy because with him the idea of the champion keeping the title in the case of a tie or the champion having an automatic revenge match vanished completely. It is out-dated, hopefully forever."

Anand played a tame opening, he should play sharp like 8th game.
I'm happy Anand played e4, but wish he was more aggressive. If it goes to a tiebreak, he will win. Gelfand must get a win in the next 2 games or it's over. He can't beat Anand at faster time controls.

I don't know if Anand is so sure to win at fast. Gelfand will use all the novelties he has (no point saving them, eh?) and he may well have a good chance doing that, judging by his prep so far. His novelties would indeed be more difficult to respond to accurately at fast time controls, and who knows what torpedoes he has in store?
1 year 11 months ago
gelfand is not weak in rapids as he demonstrated in candidates.
Anand won't need novelties at the faster time controls. In terms of career he's the best chess player since Kasparov and for the ratings obsessed fans he's 6/10 of a ratings point out of the Top 5 and Gelfand is not in the Top 10.
So it seems Gelfand offered a draw after ...cxb4 ( as told in the press conf) and then Anand played on a few more moves and offered it himself after a3. So anyway there was at least one draw offered turned down in this match.

I will the rest of the game will end in Draw with a tire break win for Gelfand. It's a punishment to Anand for not playing chess.

Huh? Where's the punishment? If the match end in a draw, Anand will remain World Champion following the rule.

It can clearly be stated, that Anand is no longer the strongest player. He has shown no strength during this event whatsoever. Now Carlsen has to stop withdrawing for world champion cycle, and take his chance.

Gotta love Moscow. You have former champs and top10 players dropping by to comment games. Didn't expect Morozevich there, especially in the English booth. So next time it's Kramnik and all leading Russian players have commentated in one form or another.
As of match... impressed with Boris prep. Two games to go and Anand hasn't shown anything to deserve his title. He is currently playing like some average 2650 GM. One could argue that commentators Svidler or Grischuk would show more.
I like to think that people who thought Gelfand would be a pushover are reconsidering their opinion.
Anybody would agree Vishy's team's work has not hit the right points. Even so, the score is only 5-5, that should speak something about Gelfand's ability in the middle game. It looked like Vishy's team clearly understood that they are out prepared and that was the reason today he just wanted to play some chess and Gelfand still surprises him. First of Bb5 is a slightly rare move and then b3 is very rare. It is scary to see the breadth of Gelfand's preparation.

I guess what was said before the match was quite true. The motivation (Not just Anand's, but his team too) is lesser than Gelfand's. Perhaps a "been there, done that" thing. In today's age where the openings matter even more, Gelfand seems to have brought every bit of preparation to the table. The other thing with both these players is that their psychological play is almost non-existent. They try to play concrete,solid foolproof lines, and wont change the style irrespective of the opponent. It's more like chess research. While some others might try to base their play on the opponent's on board weaknesses and nerves, these two don't. I'm not saying that is better or worse, but considering their preparation is solid and equal, the non-existence of that trait seems to be a disadvantage.

The idea that Anand was outprepared seems to be based on the fact that Gelfand kept surprising him. That was easier for Gelfand because his opening repertoire was narrower. From Anand, 1.e4 was no real surprise (he was always "both-handed"). With black against 1.d4, the Grunfeld wouldn't have been surprising either - so the only way to surprise the opponent would have been somewhat dubious or risky choices (Dutch, Benoni, KID). And the one surprise from Anand (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.f3!?) worked pretty well: a winning position and an easy win is about as good as it can get.
Then he needs a new team. I remember Anand making similar comments during the Topalov match.
@cmling- Nah! Anand hasn't shown ANYTHING the last few years. That's common with most world champions. They loose their motivation, Kasparov being the exception.
Not sure what you mean.
You also did not consider Gelfand a pushover?
@Zarathoustra I hope Carlsen never enters the FIDE world champion cycle, because it's ridiculous. It should only include the top 5 ranked players. As soon as Anand steps down (or Kramnik if he takes the title from Anand) I will just recognize the #1 ranked Carlsen as the World Champion.
Interesting idea. No more World Championship matches. The top-ranked player holds the title, even if it might change monthly.
Not what I want, but I wouldn't be surprised if many people did.

A reasonable candidates cycle would be a double round Robin of the six best ranked players (except the champion).The cutoff date could be six months prior the tournament. The winner would play the champion for a 16 games match. In case of draw, 2 classic games of chess 960 until it's over.
Best remedy would be to go back to the "First to win 6 games is world champion" system. That would solve the riskless chess, and the 12-game matches where losing 1 game is close to losing the match.
I'd vouch for that - it would bring back fireworks to the board.
1 year 11 months ago
Good, creative idea. I agree, very much so with the double round robin format for candidates! Picking six players also sounds reasonable. I'd just keep 2 spots for the winners of the 'FIDE grand prix' series and the FIDE world cup tournament. Plus the top 4 ranked players averaged for one year prior to the cutoff date. Those 6 players should play a double round robin tournament. 16 games to determine the world title also seems slightly more challenging (mentally and physically) than 'just' 12. Why not chess 960 as a tie-breaker?
I find this match to be a bit disappointing.
Let me say up-front that Anand and Gelfand are the best in their class. But something's missing. And it's not about the draws. But when I look at this match and the players in it, I just don't see a true world champion at work. Neither Anand nor Gelfand can really enchant me with their play. They just repeat what their computers spat out the night before and there's no brilliant moments. It's in no way like what Kasparov, Fischer or Tal showed in WC matches. Even Topalov showed great class with his exchange sacrifices. This is just computer chess that I'm looking at. May the best computer-aided analyst win...
It's certainly not fighting chess...... I think people will soon forget this match, regarding the outcome.
What's Next?
1 year 11 months ago
The two next games will be very interesting. Something will probably happen. Both players have more nice ideas to show... Good luck to both players!
Boris drew that too easily. If he wins the 11th game then I would bet good money that he could hold a draw in the 12th and thereby become the new World Champion.
1 year 11 months ago
Anand has not been motivated to do much prep at all I'm afraid. He is definitely on his way down. Kasparov knows what he is talking about, when keeping to chess.
1 year 11 months ago
I started following chess in the K&K era. I am a supporter of a match with 24 games. The challenger needs to beat the champion to win. If you look at for example Sevilla, Moscow, London/Leningrad..these were great matches.
And assuming that the 2 top players play worldclass chess and are "interesting" personalities it will be easy to find sponsors and people will love it. And if not, the pricemoney will be lower, but high enough to fight for it. I also would like to see the restdays reduced to once a week. I think pressure and an extreme workload make a match even more interesting. Great players also make sure they are topfit before a match. That's part of the fight.
Blitz, Rapid, 960 chess etc is not the right way for a match at this level.
Maybe I'm a dreamer, but I am not the only one ;-)
1 year 11 months ago
People like to complain and draw conclusion after 1 game. Two games ago he broke the WWCh record of shortest decicive game! I think Anand wanted to test how wide is Gelfand prep and is preprering for the last games, or rapid. I am optimistic about his chances to retain the title.
Hopefully Morozevich will be the challenger in the future. As he said, the lack of emotion has more to do with the players than with the format.
1 year 11 months ago
On the bright side, Kramnik is up for game 11 in the English commentary booth.
If Dirk can stop talking over the top of and interrupting his GM partner, it should be entertaining.
Dirk also seems to have a habit of trying to paraphrase and parrot back what the GM has just said in order to dumb it down into non chess-speak. At this point, no-one watching the commentary is a casual observer of the game and so this is just unnecessary and ruins the flow.
1 year 11 months ago
Good game by Gelfy , his prep is really terrifying. Unfortunately , nowadays it´s much easier to equalize with black novelty than to seriously test your opponent with white one.
Perhaps Anand has one magic bullet that he will use in his last white game/ We may see a c4 or something.
Anand is scared. Very much scared.
That's not proper for the world champion.
Even if he wins this, he hasn't really showed anything worthy of a true World Champion.
He hasn't really tried to impose his will here.
Maybe we should add a new twist to World Championship Matches' rules: if the current champion doesn't show anything worthy of a true champion in the World Championship Match, he should renounce his title, and leave the seat open for the next cycle.
These sort of matches should be considered as 'failed championship matches', in case the defending champion "wins".
Now, the winner of that next cycle, which can consist of a tournament and/or matches, will be crowned as the New World Champion.
In the meantime, that is, during the time between the 'failed world championship' and the following wch cycle, there will be no World Champion.
He, the now ex-champion, can be included in this next cycle, of course.
What do you think?
I don't think you need to change the rules for people like Anand or even the late Petrosian. Anand is a counter-puncher and you saw plenty of excitement when he played Topalov. If Anand holds this and has to face Aronian or Carlsen next he will either rise to the occasion and you will see once again see a "real" world champion - or he will lose and you will see a "real" world champion.
For excitement you only need one side to press. Ditch the tiebreaks and restore the draw odds that the champion used to have and let the challenger have 16 games to prove that he is better. The challenger will press because each draw brings him closer to the 16 game limit.
Chess is not a circus.
It is not about excitement nor entertainment.
Not at this level.
We all welcome spectacular or entertaining, or beautiful games.
Players, just us everyone else, enjoy when they produce such games.
But in competitive chess, entertainment or beauty is secondary. It is a subproduct.
Because art is not a competition: you do not create in order to 'win'.
We wouldn't be judging the player, and current champion's whole career: we would be judging this moment.
Anand is a great player, no question about that, and has won two World Championship matches already.
He has proved his worth as great.
But we do not give the title of World Champion to those who 'have been' great or to those who "deserve" the title because they are so talented.
We give this title to him who conquers it.
Who fights for it.
He wants it more, he sacrifices more.
But he doesn't do this stupidly, carelessly; imprudently.
It is a struggle not so much with your opponent, but with yourself. You overcome your own limitations.
At the end of the day, that which we reward in the figure of the World Champion is his spirit.
And in this match, Anand hasn't showed why he was once the person we all loved and admired.

Ceiling Lighting Accessories
Installation of ceiling fixtures is a responsible issue. Ceiling lights are the focal points of any house. For this reason, one should have everything necessary to install the ceiling lighting properly. Apply to Westside Wholesale for ceiling lighting accessories to implement this task.
Some people prefer to buy the kits that include all parts. However, they may not include enhancement accessories. Customers usually pursue two goals when they come to buy the ceiling lighting accessories. They want to repair the lighting fixtures or they want to enhance the lighting in the house.
Kichler Lighting sticks to the principle that lighting should be a reflection of the individuality. Every person should have a chance to enhance the lighting system to his taste. There is a variety of solutions that Kichler offers. Define your style buying the accessories from this company.
For instance, one may want to increase the general length of fixtures. Kichler offers the accessory stems of different sizes and finishes: iron 2999AVI, bronze 2999SZ, brushed nickel 2999NI and a lot of others. There is a big choice of accessory chain fixtures in this section.
Light pollution can be a serious problem under certain conditions. Westside Wholesale is ready to offer simple solution for its customers. Buy the accessory panel that makes fixtures emit only a subtle down light. There are models Kichler 4827WH, 4800WH, 4801WH, 4802WH, 4803WH, 4804WH, 4806WH.
Buy wall sconce replacement glass with different patterns: leaf pattern (Kichler 4884), curved lines (Kichler 4079) and others.

How to Select
How to select Ceiling Lighting Accessories
It is never an easy task to install a ceiling light, especially when a fixture like that requires lot of mounting accessories. The following guide prepared by Westside Wholesale will help you learn about the many factors to consider when looking for a perfect ceiling light accessory.
Since there are various accessories that each offer different features, it is important that you specify the purpose of the accessory in addition to its mounting location beforehand. Knowing these two details will save you time and money when looking for ceiling lighting accessories.
The most commonly used accessories that can help you with a ceiling light installation are chains, stems, tracks and decorative panels. In order to select the items that will fit your needs the most you should take the following factors into consideration:
- Size and installation requirements. Compare the size of the lighting fixture and the accessory that you are planning to buy and ensure that they match. In addition to that, find out what the installation requirements for this particular fixture are and whether the lighting accessory complies with them.
- Design. This is, perhaps, the most important aspect of any ceiling lighting accessory. Because the fixtures that are installed on the ceiling will be seen from every location of the room, they need to blend with the overall style/décor of the building. After all, you don't want your lighting fixture to steal the attention from your favorite sculptures, paintings or other details of the interior that took so much of your time and effort.
- Price and quality. Price usually becomes the decisive factor when it comes to lighting devices or lighting accessories. People agree to purchase the cheapest item from the store only to save some money. Before you make the same mistake, pay attention to the quality of the item and the manufacturer who had made it. Many of the well known brands offer ceiling lighting accessories with affordable prices and warranties; you just need to find such deals. Always remember that cheapest accessories will result in more money spent in the future.
How to know if a lighting accessory is compatible with my ceiling lamp?
Before you buy any accessories you will need to ensure that they are compatible with the lighting fixture. It's important that you find out what the size of the accessory is and then compare it with the size of the actual fixture. In addition, it is important that you ensure that the accessory that you have selected is safe to be used with the lamp. Such information can be found in the description of the item.

You just need to turn the Unity plugin back on. The problem is this is a pain in the bottom because you've now got no graphical method to do this. So:
For 12.10 and below:
Press Ctrl+Alt+T for a terminal and run
You also may then need to run a
In 13.04:
Reboot if it doesn't work right away.
You might want to run the compizconfig-settings-manager package and make sure that the Unity plugin is checked.
A solution good for me (has solved the same problem):
in a terminal:
and then
I hope it'll be useful.
I have had exactly the same issue.
If you have Compiz Config Settings Manager installed it may be that the Unity Desktop Plugin is disabled.
Log in to a Unity 2D desktop and check that it is enabled in CCSM like this,
Unity Shell will not load in the default desktop if the tickbox is not checked and you will get the session in your picture.
Developers are always fixing bugs, so an alternative is to wait, and to follow progress on bug fixing (subscribe to Unity development in Launchpad).
UPDATE: I was able to resolve this by using
(This is adapted from this Ubuntu Forums post.)
The easiest way to do this is to press Ctrl+Alt+T to get a terminal and then issue:
and your unity session will come back before your eyes..
This technique is better than re-launching ccsm, because you can get into OP's error condition without even accidentally de-selecting unity in ccsm; you can get it simply by accidentally pressing the "preferences" button in ccsm.
I had this problem too. I solved it with deleting the content of the ~/.config/compiz-1/compizconfig file and relog.
I have an Asus U36SD using an "Optimus" (Intel + Nvidia GPUs) set-up. I had Ubuntu 12.04 working just fine, but upgrading to 12.10, this problem appeared and persisted in 13.04. I have managed to fix it trough the following steps:
It seems there's a problem with 12.04 Unity 3D and the current Nvidia drivers.
See this post (Unity 3d no longer works after installing 12.04) for details of how to work round the problem.
I have a 32 bit Pentium 4 3.06 GHz Compaq D520SFF, with an Nvidia GeForce 6200, running kernel 3.2.0-24-generic-pae, and had exactly the same problem (2D works, 3D doesn't), and downgrading the Nvidia drivers got 3D working for me in a couple of minutes.
I have had about 3 times where I needed the ctrl+alt+f1 to not loose work and it messed up... I have nvidia also. I would like to suggest this:
ctrl+alt+f1 (ok, blank screen) type your login, hit Enter, then password (all in blank screen) type this now:
will have to type password again and Enter this will open a X session at ctrl+alt+f8 (will jump to it automatically) now create a new empty text file called runBash.sh, and type on it:
save it, change its permissions to executable, and run it, you will get a truly relieving terminal that makes you remember why linux is good ! :D
after you finish, remember to ctrl+alt+f1, hit ctrl+c (will end the new X session), type exit, Enter, will end the terminal (blank screen) session. if you think you missed typing exit, just hit ctrl+c and type again, dont do it too fast...
so you can improve it, make a script to let you type as little as possible, but anyway you will still have to type a lot while the screen is blank, but it is better than nothing :)
still looking for definitive ctrl+alt+f1 proper solution ubuntu 12.04 + nvidia
For the icons, it is due to Nautilus. Write
EDIT 10/10/2013: for Nautilus you can also type Alt + F2 to open Unity command line prompt and write
For 13.10:
Just to insure everything is installed:
Next, reload everything:
I just tried this and it works!
If all else fails:
Always make backups! Maybe reinstall Ubuntu?
The original poster of the duplicate question, solved in editing his own question:
It happens when you login with another tty and try, as the same user, to start X (with startx or initx) .
For example, Ubuntu runs in tty7. With CTRL-ALT-F1 tty1 opens. Log in as the same user, and run startx. Go back to tty7, logout and login. You only get the desktop wall paper.
To solve the problem, choose tty1, login, remove the .Xauthority file in your home directory, logout, login. Solved.
If you use an acceleration graphics card alongside the default graphics card, it's possibly due to the installation of their drivers. A few updates of acceleration graphics cards drivers in systems that have two graphics card tend to present unstable behavior in some systems. I have an Nvidia card and an Intel card. It used to happen with me when I installed Nvidia drivers. Launcher and panel would disappear from the the desktop. If you use an Nvidia card, installing Bumblebee could be a temporary solution: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee
If you hope into a tty (Ctrl+Alt+F1 through F6) and run:
It will reset Unity back on tty 7 (Ctrl+Alt++F7).
You can also try just:
But that won't work if a windows manager is already running on display 0 (it will give you an error, just use
If Unity absolutely refuses to restart try this:
Than run it on display 0:
You should then have Gnome 2 style panels on your desktop, which you can use to logout.
I find Unity to be really buggy on 13.04 with my Nvidia card.. YMMV.
First answer works fine except I need to instal unity it self
then run
and enable unity :)
I had pretty much the same problem under 12.04. Unity was slow with my aged GPU, so I was using Unity 2d as my desktop for months. For no apparent reason, it suddenly refused to display launchpad and title bar (for all users). Reenabling Unity in CCSM as sugggested here was part of the solution, but none of the other measures suggested here, there or in several other related threads, including, but not limited to:
helped me to completely resolve these symptoms under 12.04 (64 bit).
unity --reset
would not work for me. After delivering a variety of error and information messages, it would always hang at:
Setting Update "run_key"
as shown in the log posted in the thread titled "unity has vanished" for unity run with no arguments.
I noticed that the error message delivered by:
/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p
was similar to some of the errors reported by unity --reset:
error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
After extensive searching, I found the following solution:
This not only allowed both unity_support_test-p and unity --reset to run, it also allowed Unity 2d to start. I have no idea what caused my problems, but since creating the links above (several weeks now) I have had no further problems.

Nationality : Japan
Heavy metal is back at the J.E. Live House with a band who is a real phenomenon in Japan. LIGHTNING is about to become a legend of Japan Expo!
Live at the J.E. Live House!
More information about dates and times soon
© All rights reserved
© All rights reserved LIGHTNING was born from the encounter between IRON-CHINO (Grrr) and the bassist Ohashi (Brrr). As the first was training deep in snowy mountains, both men shared the same artistic philosophy. That's how they came up with the idea of heavy metal band LIGHTNING.
After a long way strewn with obstacles, the band decided in 2006 to autoproduce their first demo CD called SOLDIER FORCE. Then they got an offer from the record company Soundholic which proposed to record an album and this way launched the professional career of the band.
In April 2007, LIGHTNING released the album BRAVE HEART which they consider as "the sword of lamentations which shows the way to a new era". The album sold out very quickly.
Since then, LIGHTNING's popularity keeps on growing, with a partnership with guitar brand Jackson or on stage with Oliver HARTMANN's company (AT VANCE~Avantasia).
Lightning : Thousands Fields by JapanExpoTV
After preparing for three years, their second album, FIVE RINGS, was released in 2010 since the band went on with a tour. For their last date in Shibuya, the crowd was so huge that there were people up the streets of Spain-zaka. In front of a stunned and crying audience, LIGHTNING became a legend.
In 2011, the band signed for the label AVALON.

Jack Del Rio, at least according to Vegas.

Sight is a Java Web framework built on top of J2EE technologies, and particularly on top of the servlet API. SightWF provides a simple programming model for building RIA applications. SightWF is initially designed to be deployed on Google App Engine, and can be run in a J2EE servlet container such as Tomcat.
Butterfly Web UI is a component based Java Web application framework. Like the rest of the Butterfly Components, Butterfly Web UI is extremely small and very flexible. Butterfly Web UI uses Butterfly Container internally, a state of the art dependency injection container. Using Butterfly Web UI, it is easy both to generate HTML for a Web browser or XML or JSON for a RIA frontend (Flex, JavaFX, Silverlight) or AJAX frontend. You also can easily create HTML layout templates that are reused throughout your Web application, so you don't have the layout hardcoded into every page. You can easily mix RIA and non-RIA Web application technology in the same Web application.
SlimWeb aims to replace Struts or JSF in your J2EE application, but is closer to Rails or TurboGears in its heavy use of convention-over-configuration, simplicity, and power. It aims to reduce (and most of the time completely eliminate) all boilerplate code, XML configuration files, and even deployment times.
With the Cibet framework, it is very easy to add various control mechanisms into a JPA and/or EJB-based Java application. The actual version includes control schemes like Archiving (manipulation of domain objects; data and execution of business processes are archived). From the archived state, domain objects can be reconstructed and business processes can be re-invoked with the same parameters at any time. The archive entries are secured against manipulation to make them audit-proof and revision safe. Four-eyes principle: this scheme is an example of a dual control mechanism: A user wants to perform some critical data manipulation or business process. With an applied dual control mechanism, the action is not executed in the production system directly, but stored and postponed. A second user must check the data and the action and can approve or decline. Only when the second user approves, the data manipulation or business process is executed in the production system; otherwise it is discarded. An even stricter example for a dual control mechanism is the six-eyes principle. In this case, a third user must approve a data manipulation or business process before it will become productive.
