FamilyTree: +0.8 for beating a 2028 player??? Wesley "the baloon" So keeps inflating his rating... but can we blame him? we all know what happens when he plays closed tournaments with strong players: 4th places. I just deleted 2700chess.com from bookmarks.

FamilyTree: I'm afraid Hammer will need psychological assistance after this tournament. lol.

| | Apr-29-13 Nakamura vs Morozevich, 2013
| |
|
FamilyTree: <Eyal: I would call this a Benoni rather than KID - but at any rate, since Black got a winning position after about 20 moves, this game certainly doesn't reflect badly on his opening.> Yes, it transposed to a Benoni. I wonder why Nakamura played 11.Rb1?! instead a normal ...

| | Apr-22-13 Ding Liren vs Aronian, 2013
| |
|
FamilyTree: The move Bxg7 is easy to see for any player, let alone a strong gm like Ding. Once you know there's at least a perpetual with Qf6 (a thematic blockading move in these kind of attacks), then you just bring the rook with the Re1-Re5-Rg5 (or Rh5 as in the game) maneuver. Ding Liren ...

FamilyTree: Its interesting the way Svidler stopped white's attack on the king side with that Nh7 and g5. A game to remember.

FamilyTree: <badest:Did you even watch the last 3 rounds?> Of course I watched, but I think that the last 3 rounds don't deserve a serious chess analysis, it was all about tiredness, the players themselves admit that, their brains are burnout after such a long tournament.

| | Mar-24-13 Carlsen vs Radjabov, 2013
| |
|
FamilyTree: <22...Ng2 23.Nc3 why sacrifice the rook at e1 ???? And what's behind it ???????> Black extra exchange is not very useful in a position with no open files.
And its not sure if black will be able to open the kingside with h5-h4, etc.
Meanwhile white will grab one pawn after ...

FamilyTree: <The thing to note about 33.Qh5 is that it threatens mate by either 34.Qf5+ g6 35.Rh8#> Wesley So would have played 33...Bd6?? for sure. lol.
