| Dec-11-10 | | VaselineTopLove: Happy Birthday Vishy! |
|
| Dec-11-10 | | Reisswolf: Did Short really get checkmated? Was it because of time pressure? Otherwise, one would think that he would have resigned after 41...Rc1+. The sequence is forced. |
|
| Dec-11-10 | | SuperPatzer77: <Reisswolf> I believe that Nigel Short got checkmated - it wasn't because of time pressure. He made 40th move of Qf3 and then got an additional time control for one hour per 20 moves. I assume that it was mind-boggling for Nigel Short. Too bad he lost to the World Chess Champion Vishy Anand. SuperPatzer77 |

| Dec-12-10 | | thickhead: <BobCrisp: <Ulhumbrus>, 38...Ne4 is clever but Fritz thinks 39.Be1 is level. > But how about 39... Ng3+ 40 Bxg3 Rxg3 attacking N on f3. Black's back rank is safe. |
|
| Dec-12-10 | | Rawprawn: What is wrong with 36.Qxh4? Looks good to me, so it must be awful. |
|
| Dec-12-10 | | BobCrisp: < thickhead: <BobCrisp: <Ulhumbrus>, 38...Ne4 is clever but Fritz thinks 39.Be1 is level. > But how about 39... Ng3+ 40 Bxg3 Rxg3 attacking N on f3. Black's back rank is safe.> Playable but White retains some advantage and an extra pawn after 41.Qe8+ Rg8 42.Qh5. |
|
| Dec-12-10 | | Eyal: <What is wrong with 36.Qxh4?> 36...Nh7 37.Qxh6 Rb7, and White is far from having enough compensation for the material. |

 | | chancho: Perhaps 37.Qe2 and then Bxg5 next... but Anand can prevent it. |
|
| Dec-12-10 | | Rawprawn: <Eyal> I was not thinking Qxh6, but Qxf6. |
|
| Dec-12-10 | | Eyal: <Rawprawn> That would be crushing indeed, except for the black knight on h7... |
|
| Dec-12-10 | | Rawprawn: <Eyal> Doh! |
|
| Dec-13-10 | | Rookie Pawn: Short circuited..... |
|
| Dec-15-10 | | bezzazz: I'd criticize both 35. Ng5?? & 37. Bxg5?? simply because both moves lose material without compensation, obviously. Short should not dare try sacrificing material, especially against a top class player like Anand!! |

 | | Check It Out: I really like this game. It has tension, it's understandable, it's like a good old fist fight...not that these guys are old, or anything...and it ends with and old-fashion checkmate. Nigel Seems to be thriving on the classic <elderly statesman wrench in the works> status, and frankly, I enjoy seeing him in high level tournaments, never mind his poor statistics. For the love of chess, Short, Smyslov, Tal, Korchnoi and Karpov! |
|
| Jan-10-11 | | Whitehat1963: Yes, agree with <Check It Out>. Fun game. |
|
| Jan-16-11 | | talisman: that's mate...right? :) |

 | | Penguincw: The other checkmate from the <London Chess Classic 2010> is from Adams vs D Howell, 2010 and looks like this :

|
| Mar-07-13 | | Piyush Bajaj: awesome mate .....blunder sac from short......short always speak drawing habit of anand ......after this he might get some answers....:) |
|

 | | HeMateMe: Sharp game. Always nice to see a GM game played out to mate--very respectful to the player who won, to allow a mate on the board. |
|
| Mar-07-13 | | John Abraham: Great game, not much else to say. |
|
| Jan-07-16 | | SimplicityRichard: Excellent game by Short who was not playing to draw. Nevertheless Anand proved why he was a World Champion.# |

 | | sackman: Very nice defending from Anand esp. 38 Qd6 that holds everything. <Kingscrusher> thank you for the commentary! |
|
| May-06-18 | | sls: Short-sighted Short? |
