Atking: I like this one much <zarg> Therefore I hope Kasparov will not teach this expression to Carlsen... :(

Atking: <Augalv: Congratulations, Naka!> Happy to see you again <Augalv> Yes Nakamura fighting spirit has my praise too. Very impressive.

|
Atking: <The Rocket: nakamura was lost in 2 of his games vs carlsen..> That's true but Nakamura keeping confidence and fighting spirit has my praise. Of course that's blitz and the lucky part is of value, but even with a little luck only few players can do what Nakamura did here. I'm ...

Atking: <Q:Do you have a personal coach? A:Unfortunately I don't. But I think that the moment is coming: I will need it soon. I would train chess with Sanan Syugirov with pleasure for instance. He is my age. The only problem he does not speak English. Anyway I feel like having an ...

| | Nov-28-09 Kamsky vs W So, 2009
| |
|
Atking: <Eyal: <Atking> No, there aren't any games with 14.f5 - this can be your novelty...> If that one is mine I will probably not play it :( Indeed 14...Ba6 looks logical and good.

Atking: Congratulations to So! He did better here than Topalov.

| |
|
Atking: I suspect Black has took the pawn in f5 at move 27... Qg5 doesn't make sense. 28.QxQ hxQ 29.xNe5. Later the game still makes sens without white f5.

| | Nov-24-09 Li Shilong vs Wang Hao, 2009
| |
|
Atking: Just to enjoy the game a bit more that game 15.dxc6ep?! Bxc6 16.Nd4? Rxg2+ 17.KxR Qg5+ 18.Kh3 (18.Kh1? Nxf2# / 18.Kf3?? Qg4#) and simply Bb7 with Rf8~Rf6 Black is clearly better.

| | Nov-23-09 Topalov vs Kramnik, 1999
| |
|
Atking: Thanks for the game <The Chess Express> But instead of the strange 32...Kb8?! of the game I will probably play 32...Rg8 33.g3 Rg5 or f5 with a fair game for Black.

| | Nov-18-09 Kramnik vs Carlsen, 2009
| |
|
Atking: Why not 29.Be6 <Shams>? (30.Rd7+ is one threat); Else 29...QxQ 30.fxQ RxB 31.exNf6+ wins a piece back with 2 pawns up.
