GlennOliver: NN has claimed some impressive scalps over the years. Kasparov vs NN, 1998

| | Jan-30-13 Adams vs Ehlvest, 2013
| |
|
GlennOliver: I can only assume that Ehlvest didn't feel like playing today. Unless there is some brilliant gambit hidden away.
After 20. ... Bxg4, the best that White can hope for is a draw.

| | Jan-26-13 Short vs T Valgmae, 2013
| |
|
GlennOliver: Another master-class from Nigel Short, original as ever.
|
|
| | Jan-20-13 Timman vs A Ipatov, 2013
| |
|
GlennOliver: 35. f4+
Simple yet brilliant from Timman.
Great to see him on such fine form.

|
| | Jan-17-13 Leko vs Caruana, 2013
| |
|
GlennOliver: Cannot find the White win from that position, a draw seems most likely.
|
|
| | Jan-13-13 Aronian vs Carlsen, 2013
| |
|
GlennOliver: Does anyone else have the sense that, in some games, Carlsen deliberately manufactures a difficult position for himself, like a challenge to himself to see if he can then get out of it?

| | Jan-06-13 Gao Rui vs J Hawkins, 2013
| |
|
GlennOliver: 39 Rc3 would have been Black's last chance at playing for the win. 39 R8b4, as played, was very drawish, although it is understandable that Jonathan Hawkins should wish to consolidate his excellent showing at Hastings.

GlennOliver: Thank you, Kevin.
Since Jonathan Hawkins last game is against Rui Gao, I'm guessing that counts as a game against Gao's pre-Hastings rating 2452 and not his 2623 rating at Hastings? I.e. now no chance of Hawkins making his GM norm here?
