May-19-13 Norway Chess Tournament (2013)    Beholder: <Dionyseus: You'd be amazed at how well players (Ivanchuk at the Candidates, Wang Hao here) can perform when they have nothing to lose, and how badly players (Kramnik at the Candidates, Anand and Carlsen here) can perform when the whole world is expecting the best from them.>      May-15-13 Karjakin vs Nakamura, 2013    Beholder: <Eyal: <Sergey and Hikaru both have six letters in their first names.> As well as eight letters in their family names. On paper, I suppose this means they're equal.> Карякин only has seven.      May-14-13 Anand vs Karjakin, 2013    Beholder: Carlsen - Radjabov seems more interesting, while Naka - Svidler is a wild street brawl.      May-11-13 A Ushenina vs O Girya, 2013    Beholder: While I agree that it's embarassing for any GM to not be able to convert a KBN vs K position, and ten times more so for a World Champion, still Ushenina is not nearly as bad as <FSR> tries to present. <When does she lose her world championship? It can't happen soon ...      Apr-23-13 A Giri vs Morozevich, 2013    Beholder: Vintage Moro.      Apr-23-13 FIDE Grand Prix Zug (2013)    Beholder: Morozevich wins a trademark Morozevichian game, something we've been denied for quite some time.      Apr-22-13 Alekhine Memorial (2013)    Beholder: <Arcturar: Beholder, Kramnik was a guest commentator in the last WCC, and he was #3 at the time.> Right. <Arcturar: Vitiugov and the frenchmen may end up being the punching bags.> Anybody can look bad playing black against Kramnik. Vitiugov actually is quite strong in ...      Apr-21-13 Kramnik vs N Vitiugov, 2013    Beholder: <Kramnik's passed pawns always pass>, as the saying goes.      Apr-21-13 Kasimdzhanov vs Topalov, 2013    Beholder: <Eyal> Thanks for the video link, much appreciated.      Apr-21-13 Chessgames Bookie chessforum    Beholder: With Kramnik, Anand, Aronian and Svidler, among others, the Alekhine Memorial is <at least> as interesting as the FIDE Grand Prix. Some betting would be appreciated, I'm sure, as well as a dedicated page for the event.      Apr-12-13 Russian Team Championships (Women) (2013)     Mar-28-13 World Championship Candidates (2013)     Mar-27-13 Grischuk vs Kramnik, 2013     Mar-27-13 YouRang chessforum     Mar-21-13 13th European Individual Senior Championship (2013)     Mar-15-13 Women's World Team Championship (2013)     Mar-05-13 N Mohota vs A Ushenina, 2013     Feb-27-13 Anand vs Caruana, 2013     Feb-17-13 Moscow Open (2013)    Jan-26-13 Magnus Carlsen     Jan-23-13 Tata Steel (2013)     Jan-10-13 lostemperor chessforum     Dec-24-12 Santa Claus     Dec-18-12 Kibitzer's Café     Dec-11-12 Snowdrops and Old-hands (2012)     Dec-10-12 London Chess Classic (2012)     Dec-09-12 Kramnik vs G Jones, 2012     Oct-17-12 28th European Club Cup (2012)     Oct-04-12 FIDE Grand Prix London (2012)     Sep-06-12 Chess Olympiad (2012)     Aug-31-12 Chess Olympiad (Women) (2012)     Aug-13-12 Russian Superfinals (Tiebreak) (2012)     Aug-02-12 Carlsen vs Bacrot, 2012     Aug-01-12 A Giri vs Carlsen, 2012     Jul-31-12 Ukrainian Championship (2012)     Jul-29-12 Bologan vs Carlsen, 2012     Jul-28-12 Biel Chess Festival (2012)     Jul-25-12 Wang Hao vs Kosteniuk, 2012     Jul-15-12 Kramnik vs M Bartel, 2012     Jul-15-12 J Gustafsson vs Kramnik, 2012     Jul-14-12 Dortmund (2012)     Jul-10-12 World Blitz Championship (2012)     Jul-08-12 World Rapid Championship (2012)     Jul-04-12 Borin Topic     Jun-27-12 Russian Chess Championships Higher League (2012)     Jun-25-12 Cez Trophy: Navara-Svidler (2012)     Jun-18-12 Tal Memorial (2012)     May-31-12 Anand-Gelfand World Chess Championship (2012)     May-04-12 Nakamura vs Sutovsky, 2012     Feb-10-12 Aeroflot Open (2012)     Jan-26-12 Tradewise Gibraltar (2012)     Dec-28-11 Groningen Chess Festival (2011)     Dec-21-11 FIDE Women's World Team Championship (2011)     Dec-15-11 S Siebrecht vs A Naumann, 2008     Dec-12-11 London Chess Classic (2011)     Nov-23-11 Tal Memorial (2011)     Nov-19-11 Hou-Koneru Women's World Championship (2011)     Nov-15-11 Yifan Hou vs Koneru, 2011     Nov-09-11 European Team Championship (2011)     Nov-08-11 European Team Championship (Women) (2011)     Oct-31-11 Corsica Masters Knockout (2011)     Oct-21-11 Kramnik vs M Vachier-Lagrave, 2011     Oct-21-11 15th Unive (Crown Group) (2011)     Oct-11-11 4th Bilbao Masters (2011)     Sep-19-11 Ponomariov vs Ivanchuk, 2011     Sep-19-11 Peter Svidler     Sep-19-11 Svidler vs Grischuk, 2011     Sep-19-11 World Cup (2011)     Sep-18-11 Grischuk vs Svidler, 2011     Sep-17-11 Svidler vs Grischuk, 2011     Sep-16-11 Grischuk vs Svidler, 2011     Sep-14-11 Ivanchuk vs Grischuk, 2011     Sep-12-11 Grischuk vs Ivanchuk, 2011     Sep-08-11 L Dominguez vs Judit Polgar, 2011     Sep-06-11 Judit Polgar vs L Dominguez, 2011     Sep-05-11 I Nepomniachtchi vs Kamsky, 2011     Sep-03-11 Botvinnik Memorial Rapid (2011)     Sep-02-11 Karjakin vs W So, 2011     Sep-01-11 Judit Polgar     Aug-31-11 Darcy Lima     Aug-31-11 Karjakin vs W So, 2011     Aug-26-11 Russian Women's Superfinals (2011)     Aug-25-11 Botvinnik Memorial (Seniors) (2011)     Aug-15-11 Russian Superfinals (2011)     Aug-13-11 Baku Open (2011)     Aug-12-11 FIDE Women's Grand Prix (2011)     Jul-31-11 Kramnik vs Nakamura, 2011     Jul-30-11 A Giri vs Kramnik, 2011     Jul-29-11 Biel Chess Festival (2011)     Jul-29-11 Dortmund (2011)     Jul-28-11 Vladimir Kramnik     Jul-25-11 World Chess Team Championship (2011)     Jul-25-11 Kamsky vs Ivanchuk, 2011     Jun-22-11 Russian Chess Championships Higher League (2011)     Jun-17-11 Bazna King's Tournament (2011)     Jun-01-11 XXIV Magistral de Ajedrez Ciudad de Leon (2011)     May-13-11 World Championship Candidates (2011)     Nov-18-10 World Blitz Championship (2010)     Oct-14-10 Carlsen vs Kramnik, 2010     Oct-11-10 Bilbao Masters (2010)     Oct-02-10 Chess Olympiad (2010)     Oct-02-10 Chess Olympiad (Women) (2010)     Oct-02-10 Hikaru Nakamura     Sep-30-10 Karjakin vs Eljanov, 2010     Sep-22-10 amadeus chessforum     Sep-09-10 zarg chessforum     Sep-08-10 benjinathan chessforum     Sep-08-10 The World vs N Pogonina, 2010
