Jason Frost: This scoresheet can not be right

| | Nov-20-09 Carlsen vs Grischuk, 2009 
| |
|
Jason Frost: Ouch, Grischuk clearly didn't notice 77.Rd6!(probably missing that d8=Q is check) in the bad time trouble he was in. Else, 76...Rxd7 77. Kxd7 Kf4 78. Kd6 h3 79. Kd5 h2 80. Rxe4+ Kg3 is a draw.

| |
|
Jason Frost: Cute puzzle. First thing to intermediately notice is that white's king has no squares, after that it becomes apparent that if there was no pawn on a2 black would have mate in 1. After that things just take off, arriving at the immediate Nb3+ when white has to lose the queen to ...

Jason Frost: And I forgot Chucky and Aronian somehow, although I don't Aronian's play was that great here.

Jason Frost: <siamesedream> Anna is from Ukraine, and Russia is defiantly winning both sections.

| | Oct-30-09 H Munoz vs J Salazar, 1990 
| |
|
Jason Frost: Got both moves relitivly quickly. Had a similar rook sack in one of my games last tournament. Defiantly a motive a beginning player should remember, based on the awkwardness of the rook.

| |
|
Jason Frost: <In classical chess of course. In blitz, I'd probably wipe the floor with her, really.> One of the funniest comments I have seen on chessgames. I would say no more than maybe 5-10 chessgames members with at least 10 posts could beat her in a blitz match. It's interesting ...

| | Oct-23-09 Judit Polgar vs A Giri, 2009
| |
|
Jason Frost: Final position looks very drawish to me. White might have the better pawn structure and piece placement but black's two bishops will stop any attempts at a win. Likewise, black doesn't really have much hope to try for a win, and will eventually probably have to trade one of the ...

| |
|
Jason Frost: Got it, although didn't really calculate very much.
I suppose you could say I played it by my "gut".
