May-20-13 Schlechter vs Rubinstein, 1912 
| |
|
Peligroso Patzer: <Gypsy: *** IMKO, White chances look very slim by move 18. *** > I think that statemenmt goes too far.
At move 20, White is probably only slightly worse. Over the next several moves, he was subtly outplayed by the great Rubinstein, but White probably still ...

| | May-19-13 Capablanca vs A G Conde, 1919
| |
|
Peligroso Patzer: <Calli: *** This is Capablanca's "pawn island" theory at work. He swaps down because blacks pawns are in three groups and white only has two. According to Capa, this is a big advantage.> <EmperorAtahualpa: Whoa! 39...b4! is very impressive ... at least I think it ...

| | May-18-13 Karjakin vs Topalov, 2013
| |
|
Peligroso Patzer: <chessdgc2: *** This game has been filled with unexplainable moves *** > Topalov probably reasoned he could play some double-edged/dubious moves, give Karjakin a chance to go wrong, and, if not, always bail out with a draw offer that Karjakin would be happy to accept ...

| | May-17-13 Carlsen vs Wang Hao, 2013
| |
|
Peligroso Patzer: I don’t know whether the similarity might become relevant, but the position of the pawns on the d- through g-files reminded me of Stoltz vs Nimzowitsch, 1928 . The position of those pawns (as well as of the Black King) after <62. … d4> was identical to their position ...

| | Apr-30-13 FIDE Grand Prix Zug (2013)
| |
|
Peligroso Patzer: <Excellent tournament from the great Topalov.
When he plays like this, he's basically unbeatable.> After his loss in the 2010 WCC match with Anand, and based on subsequent results, Topalov was someone I had largely written off as a formerly great super-GM who seemed ...

| |
|
Peligroso Patzer: <Kramnik vs. Anand is the top game in <Zug> today.> In St. Petersburg, where the game is being played, it has less prominence, since the World #3 and reigning World Champion are both well down the standings table of the Alekhine Mermorial.

| | Apr-22-13 M Vachier-Lagrave vs Ding Liren, 2013
| |
|
Peligroso Patzer: <hellopolgar: ***
It reminds me of this game of Morozevich vs M Vachier-Lagrave, 2009 where Maxime Vachier-Lagrave is on the receiving end of a "locked down position" but his opponent Alexander Morozevich made blunders and lost. *** > I was going to post a comment ...

|
Peligroso Patzer: <Shamot>: As I suggested once before, if <chrisowen>'s oeuvre interests you, to determine what language he uses you could enter some of his text in <Google Translate> and choose the <detect language> option. I am strongly disinclined to embrace your ...

| | Apr-06-13 Karpov-Korchnoi Candidates Match (1974)
| |
|
Peligroso Patzer: It is remarkable that there is no prior kibitzing on this page. The match, nominally a Candidates Final, was <de facto> a World Championship match due to Fischer’s default in 1975 ( Karpov-Fischer World Championship Match (1975) ). The second game ( Karpov vs ...
