Rodrigo Gutierrez Member since Jun-19-04 · Last seen May-21-13 Chessgames member from Mexico City; I'm a (fairly) neurotic indivdual who enjoys irreverent humor and tries not to take chess too seriously. My favorite players are Petrosian, Kramnik and Smyslov. I also have a longstanding love/hate relation with Karpov (love his style, hate the person). If you play at GameKnot, my username there is "rogubravo"; send me a message and we can play a game!

Mar-31-13 World Championship Candidates (2013)    Rodrigo Gutierrez: I've never been a Carlsen fan, but after this game, I have been turned. Such willpower and psychological strength is that of a World Champion-      May-30-12 Anand vs Gelfand, 2012    Rodrigo Gutierrez: Now that we have witnessed the dullest World Championship ever, shouldn't FIDE think about changing the rules so that we world chess community never sees something like this again? My two cents...      May-29-12 Anand-Gelfand World Chess Championship (2012)    Rodrigo Gutierrez: Irrespective of who ends up winning tomorrow, this match will most likely go down in history as the dullest world championship match ever. If the match that we have seen is a possible outcome of the way the world championship is organized, then, in my opinion, Fide needs ...      Apr-27-10 Topalov vs Anand, 2010    Rodrigo Gutierrez: Topalov will probably keep trying for several moves, because he would have needed to win this game badly, but I guess under ordinary circumstances a draw would be called at this point.      Feb-18-09 Kamsky vs Topalov, 2009    Rodrigo Gutierrez: I agree. Kamsky playing 1. e4 against Topalov amounts to suicide. Hope HE figures it out before it's too late, LOL!      Oct-29-08 Anand vs Kramnik, 2008    Rodrigo Gutierrez: I'm a big Kramnik fan but Anand unquestionably deserves the title. Congratulations to both!      Oct-27-08 Kramnik vs Anand, 2008    Rodrigo Gutierrez: White is clearly better, but I still don't see anything decisive for him. Kramnik was also clearly better yesterday...      Oct-26-08 Anand vs Kramnik, 2008    Rodrigo Gutierrez: Isn't it a clear draw after Qxg7?      Oct-20-08 Anand-Kramnik World Championship Match (2008)    Rodrigo Gutierrez: I simply do not get it. Kramnik NEVER should have allowed Anand to go into a Meran in game 3; Anand is quite simply deadly with it and Kramnik no doubt knows it. But to repeat such a tremendous psychological/preparation blunder in Game 5 is inconceivable. Kramnik should ...      Oct-17-08 Kramnik vs Anand, 2008    Rodrigo Gutierrez: Kramnik made a serious psychological mistake by going into one of Anand's favorite openings.
