May-02-13 Alekhine Memorial (2013)

|
Billy Vaughan: <QueentakesKing: <Billy Vaughan> Its been freakin 41 years thats why.> The United States is just one country, and there are many other countries that take chess more seriously. The Soviet machine was so powerful it's surprising when <any> player who isn't ...

| | Apr-18-13 World Championship Candidates (2013)
| |
|
Billy Vaughan: <The top blitz/rapid players in the world, are young GMs. Anand is a rare exception in that elite group.> Really? When I think of top GMs noted for strong blitz play, Anand, Ivanchuk, Grischuk, and Nakamura stand out to me. Plus the usual suspects like Carlsen. But there

| | Apr-17-13 FIDE Grand Prix Zug (2013)
| |
|
Billy Vaughan: A clear win at this event would make a strong statement in the standings, considering the highest anyone's gotten so far is 140. That, plus the inclusion of these combative players, predicts a bloody event.

|
| | Apr-12-13 Magnus Carlsen
| |
|
Billy Vaughan: <You try and put the Tiger from Madras in a corner via some gimmicks> NOBODY puts Tiger in a corner!
|
|
| | Apr-10-13 Viswanathan Anand
| |
|
Billy Vaughan: All that granted, I am getting tired of seeing age as the dominant narrative in the chess media. Not every difference between Anand and Carlsen need be explained along the lines of youthful energy versus experience.
|
|
| | Apr-02-13 Teimour Radjabov
| |
|
Billy Vaughan: I mean, if you read my original post you'll see that I only bring up those names to demonstrate how few players had even a comparable basis to be invited to the candidates than Radjabov. So we agree. I'm just trying to be charitable to the other side.
|
|
| | Apr-01-13 Vassily Ivanchuk
| |
|
Billy Vaughan: Not only did Chucky beat Kramnik and Carlsen, but he drew them in the first half of the tournament, thereby winning his mini-matches.

|
| | Mar-22-13 Garry Kasparov
| |
|
Billy Vaughan: <<Kasparov63> Yes, I am watching the Candidates tournament in London, but out of respect for the event & players will refrain from comments at the moment! > It is nice to see Kasparov exercise restraint. While I do appreciate his insight, sometimes Garry seems too ...

| | Mar-02-13 Zurich Chess Challenge (2013)
| |
|
Billy Vaughan: <Kinghunt: <Billy Vaughan> I think the comparison is naive at best. This is one of Caruana's best results ever. That was one of Carlsen's worst results ever. It's rather meaningless to cherry pick individual tournaments and then compare results.> I know that, of ...
