Doktorn: What a picture from the live feed! Carlsen standing a few feet away watching Kramniks game while Kramnik is agonazingly looking down on his lost position.

| | Dec-18-12 Wiesel vs Weigel, 1923
| |
|
Doktorn: I think this is quite a hard tuesday. The game line is no problem. But instead of 8. ... Qa5 8. ...Qc5 puts up more of a struggle since the queen can escape. For exemple 8. Nd5 Qc5 9. Nxc7+ Kd8 10. Nxa8 Qxb5 is an exchange up and black cannot castle, but not as winning as tuesday ...

| | Dec-03-12 Magnus Carlsen
| |
|
Doktorn: So this is how I see Carlsen now in comparison with top 20-something. Opening; Below average to average. His opening knowledge seem to be below many of his peers. I think it is quite often we see Carlsen coming out of the opening worse the his opponents. He does play a wide variety ...

| | Nov-28-12 Khmelnitsky vs Plachetka, 1997
| |
|
Doktorn: This kinda jumped right at me. End games is very intuitive for me. I first looked at 44. b7 but saw that 44. ... Nxb7 45. cxb7 Bxb7 at least secures a draw. So then I tried to open the way for the pawns and 44. Bb3 was obvious to me.

| |
|
Doktorn: <hmm strange cause when I log out and try to view this page it denies me because "guests are not allowed to participate only premium members. Sign up or login"> Chessgames messed up. :) But yeah, you have to be logged into an account. All members, except Akobian, have access ...

| | Oct-22-12 J Rowson vs A Ledger, 1995
| |
|
Doktorn: Is the sacrifice really necessery? Doesn't 30. Rg6+ Qg7 (or Bg7) 31. Qh7# work also?

| | Oct-13-12 Fabiano Caruana
| |
|
Doktorn: Congrats to Caruana for spectacular tournament in St Paulo and Bilbao! I'm sure it stings a bit losing the tiebreak to Carlsen, but in a couple of days I hope he can enjoy this great achievement. Won a game against Carlsen, Aronian and Karjakin. All the players that will be his main

| | Sep-19-12 Pelikan vs B Wexler, 1972
| |
|
Doktorn: I'm probably missing something very obvious, but what is white's response to 28. Rg1 Ne5 (protecting the g4 square)?
|
|
| | Jun-19-12 Santasiere vs E B Adams, 1926
| |
|
Doktorn: I saw both yesterdays puzzle and todays very fast. But I think there is a big difference for me between yesterday and todays puzzle. In the blitz games I usually play there is a big chance I would miss yesterdays queen sacrifice. Todays queen sacrifice I would probably see ...

| | Jun-10-12 XXV Ciudad de Leon: Topalov vs Vallejo (2012)
| |
|
Doktorn: Topalov hasn't good chess for quite a while and for me this feels like, even though it's just a rapid event, as the final nail in his career as a top player.
