May-22-13 Kasimdzhanov vs Nakamura, 2013    Calar: White's winning plan would be to play 69...Be6 70.Nf6 Bxc4 71.Nxh7, creating dangerous passer which would tie down Black King to kingside. Next, he would use his K+N to blockade and capture Black c-pawn, removing only Black's threat. Final stage is marching his pieces to kingside, in ...      May-11-13 A Ipatov vs H Stevic, 2013   Calar: Black employs the same system as Fressinent in his famous recent game ( Kramnik vs Fressinet, 2013 ), albeit without quick e5 and opening of the position. Combo starting with 12...Nxc3 is nice. And although White seemed to have some pressure for saced material, by the time of ...      May-04-13 S Wernbacher vs R Achleitner, 2001   Calar: Thanks, Gilmoy.      May-03-13 A Muzychuk vs O Girya, 2013    Calar: She could but her position is still hopeless. If 48...Nh3 White can simply reply 49.Nxf7 with 50.Nd8 to follow, picking up Black e-pawn and creating her own passer, all while Black knight is cut off on the edge of the board doing nothing. And if a-pawn starts to advance, White can ...      Apr-28-13 Anand vs Ding Liren, 2013   Calar: I've never seen this plan in Classic Caro-Kan - where white first weakens his kingside with h4 and f4 and then decides to bring his king there (17.0-0). Still, it prooved quite effective, as it was Black King that fell under crushing attack, and not his White colleague. Kudos to Anand      Apr-25-13 Kramnik vs Fressinet, 2013    Calar: <Poisonpawns: Nowadays we often see symmetrical castling and a long positional game ensues where white makes black feel uncomfortable for many moves but black usually can hold the draw. This game is refreshing in that Fressinet played a simple and direct attack against the ...      Apr-24-13 Radjabov vs Topalov, 2013    Calar: I know both players are still in their preparation and that this position is "objectively" not worse for Radjabov, but personally I'd hate to be White here. Black has too much pressure, and one mistake from White can lead to his position quickly crumbling. Here's what can happen if ...      Apr-20-13 N Pogonina vs V Gunina, 2013   Calar: <if 50...e1=Q+, may you explain me what's the more short way to win?> There's no immediate mate, but White is simply a piece up and Black has no compensation or any hopes of perpetual check. For this level of play, it's more than enough to resign. If 50...e1=Q+, White simply ...      Apr-15-13 Russian Team Championships (Women) (2013)   Calar: Yugra (Ushenina, Pogonina, Kovanova, Romanko, Shadrina) won 1st place due to higher tie-break over 2nd place SHSM "Nashe Nasledie" Moskow (Kosteniuk, Gunina, Girya, Kovalevskaya, Savina).
