arnaud1959: <Correct me if I am wrong but I am supporting 30 second per move system personally> In a system with a minimum number of moves for limited time, increments have no signification. 40 moves/2h+30''= 40 moves /2h20min + 0''. It may only help players to manage better their ...

| | Jan-29-13 L Spassov vs T Porrasmaa, 1966

|
| | Jan-26-13 Wang Hao vs Carlsen, 2013
| |
|
arnaud1959: <FSR> +1 for me. I don't know why but I feel more comfortable with d6, Bd7 and now even more with Nd7.

| | Jan-26-13 Leko vs Van Wely, 2013
| |
|
arnaud1959: <Who said that he's all about drawing games? Just let him play.> Yes but let him play in positions he likes ! It's good to see him being more confident though.

| | Jan-22-13 Leko vs Anand, 2013
| |
|
arnaud1959: <then play the forcing line, obtain the dead drawn position, and *then* agree to a draw.> It depends on the players' level. For beginners its good to play a K+P v. K ending till stalemate or the loss of the pawn. But personally I wouldn't go so far. The same principle works

| | Jan-22-13 I Sokolov vs Van Wely, 2013
| |
|
arnaud1959: Why resigning on the 40th move?? After

| | Jan-20-13 Carlsen vs Karjakin, 2013
| |
|
arnaud1959: If you don't count the exchanged c4 pawn,at the 42nd move there's only the h pawn reaching the 4th rank. Yet Carlsen transforms this position into a win against a high caliber player. Where did Karjakin go wrong ? It's objectively impossible to find it for a human otb.

arnaud1959: After 23.cxd5 even Tarrasch would be impressed by white's center:)

|
arnaud1959: <Carlsen : I followed “the flow” of my hand and played quickly> . I don't know if there's another choice when you play blitz!

| | Sep-27-12 Nakamura vs Wang Hao, 2012
| |
|
arnaud1959: <master of defense> After any Q move Black plays 48.-Nf3 and there's no defence against mate on h2.
