Magician of Riga has kibitzed 48 times to chessgames   [more...]

Sep-27-07 FIDE World Championship Tournament (2007)    Magician of Riga: Whoa Moro is playing a reversed Sveshnikov. What a badass.      Sep-26-07 Vladimir Kramnik    Magician of Riga: Records against a particular playing have less weight than most people put on it. Psychologically Kramnik has the upper hand in a match vs Anand. Kramnik will play Berlins and Petroffs and Anand won't be able to win with his favored e4. If you go by Topalov and Kramnik's ...      Sep-26-07 Grischuk vs Kramnik, 2007    Magician of Riga: Perhaps Kramnik doesn't even want to win anymore. He would probably rather play Anand than Topalov anyway. It will be very hard for Anand to crack Kramnik's petrov in a match. Anand will have to win with black or resort to d4 with white. I don't know if Anand can play d4 ...      Sep-24-07 Morozevich vs Kramnik, 2007    Magician of Riga: I like that Moro quote. Nice he hands Kramnik his only loss at classical time controls for 2007. I'd much rather see an Anand vs Kramnik world championship match than a Topalov vs Kramnik world championship match.      Jun-16-07 Cyril Humeau   Magician of Riga: Haha funny video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZyt... Magnus is a great sport for playing along.      Jun-10-07 Deep Fritz vs Deep Junior (2007)    Magician of Riga: Each team was allowed to use the best hardware they could acquire by the time of the match. The Deep Junior team lucked out and found a machine with twice the processing power of the Deep Fritz team's machine (16 cores vs 8 cores respectively). Obviously this was a huge ...      Jun-06-07 Candidates Match: Aronian vs Shirov (2007)    Magician of Riga: Its unfortunate only one of these guys can move on. I would have loved to see both Shirov and Aronian in Mexico.      Jun-06-07 Candidates Match: Shirov-Adams (2007)    Magician of Riga: Its unfortunate only one of these guys can move on. I would have loved to see both Shirov and Aronian in Mexico.      May-19-07 Topalov vs Mamedyarov, 2007    Magician of Riga: Svidler played at Mtel Masters in 2006 under Sofia Rules. Scored a solid 5/10 for 4th place and performed as expected for his rating at the time. Kramnik however doesn't do so well under Sofia Rules. In Mtel 2005 Kramnik did somewhat worse scoring 4/10 having a better ...      May-14-07 Sasikiran vs Topalov, 2007    Magician of Riga: The Bayonet attack has also been a thorn in the side of many King's Indian players. GM Gallagher who has written some very good books on the King's Indian has said that the reason a lot of KID players lose to the Bayonet attack is because the KID player is looking for a ...
