| Feb-04-09 | | shr0pshire: <KingG> Well that is how you know you are a super grandmaster. Super grandmasters can do things that mortal chess players can't, like beat Sefanova in 22 moves, and end games with more time on their clocks than when they started. An interesting game anyway, although I am surprised Stefanova couldn't at least get through these preliminary complications. Although a little unusual it didn't seem incredibly daunting. |

rather 18...Kg7?
18...Bb7 or 18...Ne5 were better, but probably still loosing. |

| | KingG: To be fair to Stefanova, I'm pretty sure this was opening preparation by Svidler. |
|
| Feb-07-09 | | Ladolcevita: I think Stefanova could beat all the man upstairs.... |

...where Kramnik, Ivanchuk, Karpov, Anand and many other nice boys are playing. Come on, everybody blunders or plays bad games now and then. |

| Oct-30-09 | | Jason Frost: <In classical chess of course. In blitz, I'd probably wipe the floor with her, really.> One of the funniest comments I have seen on chessgames. I would say no more than maybe 5-10 chessgames members with at least 10 posts could beat her in a blitz match. It's interesting that Svidler who once considered, whether fairly or not, somewhat lazy, has now demonstrated absolutely fantastic opening preparation in many games during the past 12 months. |
