| Mar-19-14 | | Ulhumbrus: 20...g6 ?! disturbs the king side pawns without necessity. Instead of this 20...Re7 defends f7 whilst keeping the pawns intact. 20...g6 invites later a very dangerous attack by Bxe4 and d5. |

| Mar-19-14 | | peristilo: Great game. Vlad has shown he will take great risks to win as white. On the other hand, as black, we've seen an illusionist fantastically escaping from horrible situations. |

| Mar-19-14 | | DaringSpeculator: After Aronian's blunder (33...Bxd5?), we have this position:
click for larger viewHere the engine gives 34. Bxh6 as its top choice, which was played by Kramnik. However, the engine evaluation is dependent on the premise that White is going to play <35.Rg1> after 34...Kh7. The line is 34. Bxh6 Kh7 35. Rg1 Bxh6 36. Rde1 leading to this position 
click for larger view Which Kramnik understandably misjudged and didn't like. Black's e pawn is well protected and is annoying, white rooks seem passive and Black pieces appears to be more active. The position, even though is definitely winning, might be hard for a human to play, especially under time pressure. Therefore, it has been argued that 35. Rg1 is a hard move to find for a human. Now, going back to the first diagrammed position, White has a discovered check and he can play his bishop to any place he wants. Rather than capturing the h pawn, a more "human" idea is to play
<34 Be7+> with the plan of blocking, at least temporarily, the rook on the e file which is one of the defendants of the annoying e pawn. This line may continue: 34.Be7+ Bg7 (best move) 35. Rfe1 and now Black is practically forced to capture on d1 so
35...exd1Q Qxd1

| Mar-21-14 | | Conrad93: Can black play 14. c4!? |
|
| Mar-21-14 | | john barleycorn: <Conrad93: Can black play 14. c4!?> Yes, it is a legal move and "en passant" does not apply. |

Don't teach Conrad too many tricks. |

| | perfidious: <john b> But he is here to learn, according to his very own profile..... |
|
| Mar-21-14 | | john barleycorn: <perfidious: <john b> But he is here to learn...> that is very obvious... |
|
| Mar-22-14 | | Conrad93: 14...c4 is the better move.
I am also here to teach you guys. |
|
| Mar-22-14 | | Conrad93: Now, can you see the tactics behind the move? |
|
| Mar-22-14 | | Conrad93: Perfidious and John, I would wreck you in a game of chess. Know your place, dimwits. |
|
| Mar-22-14 | | john barleycorn: Yes, master <OverConrad93>. |
|
| Mar-22-14 | | Conrad93: You guys are so pathetic that you need to rely on the same insult again and again. Get original, morons. |
|
| Mar-22-14 | | john barleycorn: <Conrad93: ...
Get original, morons.>
Ladies first. |
|
| Mar-22-14 | | Conrad93: John, stop spamming the board. Thanks. |
|
| Mar-22-14 | | john barleycorn: <Conrad93: John, stop spamming the board. Thanks.> I'm here to learn. |
|
| Mar-22-14 | | Conrad93: Yes, but not to learn from you idiots. |
|
| Mar-22-14 | | john barleycorn: <Conrad93>, stop spamming the board. Thanks. |
|
| Mar-22-14 | | N0B0DY: The beautiful thing about learning is <N0B0DY> can take it away from you. |

| | perfidious: <KKDEREK> Saw <Conrad>'s comment and judged it as being too foolish to be worthy of a response. |
|
| Mar-22-14 | | Everyone: <perf> Isn't it a kind of self-evident? |
|
Mar-22-14
| | perfidious: Glad <Everyone> thinks so, though some of them actually have the tiniest thread of humour at times. |
|
| Mar-26-14 | | Caissanist: User: KKDEREK Although John is at least a life master at trolling, that doesn't necessarily say anything about his chess ability. Conrad could probably give me rook odds, but I'm sure I could bait him just as well as John if that was the goal of my ambition. |
