| | Apr-15-13 Emanuel Lasker 
| |
|
Method B: It's from the Capablanca interview perfidious linked above: <on a particular occasion he slipped into an inferior position to which Tarrasch induced him and suddenly found himself at his rival’s mercy. It was then that Lasker showed his fighting spirit. Instead of making ...

| | Feb-01-13 World Championship Candidates (2013)
| |
|
Method B: <Concerning the openings. Well, for some reason Kramnik completely changed the opening with white after the first mini match. Against Radjabov he played d4, against Grischuk he used an english setup with 1. Sf3. Apparently he didn't want to face Grischuks Grunfeld.> I still ...

| | Dec-04-12 FIDE Grand Prix Tashkent (2012)
| |
|
Method B: <shivasuri4> So it's 2 players from the GP series; 3 from the World Cup; 1 for the loser of the 2013 world championship match. It leaves two spots based on ratings or one each of rating and of FIDE nominee. In general it is a good enough system for me. One slight improvement ...

| |
|
Method B: <karnak64: I'm sure someone else has already mentioned that 1 ... c6 could be a head-fake with 2 ... d6 coming for a Modern/Pirc rather than a Caro.> Is there any drawbacks for white with this move order in contrast to the standard Modern/Pirc w/c6 or white still has every ...

|
Method B: I believe your points <Kinghunt> are correct except of the first one. From the regulations:

Method B: There will be a candidates tournament instead of matches in 2013. We will see how that works out. It looks good in paper. Double round robin with 8 players: loser of the last championship match; top3 finishes at the world cup; top3 from rating list; one wild card choise of the ...

| | May-24-11 World Championship Candidates Final (2011)
| |
|
Method B: Regarding the tiebreaks in the title match:
I believe in a 16-game match it wouldn't be a lousy idea to give the champion back the draw odds.

| | May-17-11 Vladimir Kramnik
| |
|
Method B: <Grischuk's endgame play under time pressure was the difference in this match> Just like in this game from Mexico: Kramnik vs Grischuk, 2007

| |
|
Method B: The Morozevich-Navara game has followed Svidler vs Karjakin, 2008 till black's 20th move where Navara played fxe6 instead of Nde5. As <Augalv> mentioned in the game's kibitzing section: <20..fxe6!? is interesting.21.Qb3 now 21..Nge5 22.Qxe6+ Rf7, computer gives equal on ...
