Apr-20-13 Kamsky vs Topalov, 2013 
| |
|
artemis: talisman: Qa7 was not the first move to come to mind, but it makes a certain amount of sense in hindsight- black wants to leave his queen on this diagonal (it makes it hard for white to play f4 at some point), but he wants to clear the line for his rook to play Rc4 (getting off a ...

| | Feb-25-13 Caruana vs Kramnik, 2013
| |
|
artemis: white is completely passive, giving black all of the play. At least as far as I can see. In order to make progress, it seems like he might have to play e2-e3 which would be dreadful- giving black a wonderful square for his knight.

artemis: keypusher:
a valid point, but on the other hand, if we are just trying to dispel the concept that these generalizations hold in every case, we can use the octopus knight example. go to move 23 in that game, and put white's bishop on d3 instead of the knight. The position is a ...

artemis: Sir ruthless- I think that the high quality of her play, even in her losses, has already justified here presence.

| |
|
artemis: Frogbert: best way to learn queen endings is to take one like this and play against computer. Be willing to take moves back. You will see a lot of the motifs by trial and error if nothing else. (at least I learned it by trial and error that way).

| | Jul-20-12 Karjakin vs Caruana, 2012
| |
|
artemis: talisman: it would appear that Ne7 might be coming in the near future, so I don't think that that is a good square for the king. At some point black will want to play b7-b5-b4 to undermine c3. Maybe now is the time to start that.

| | Jul-19-12 Ponomariov vs M Bartel, 2012
| |
|
artemis: strongest force: well the white squares are denuded of their natural cover... So, it seems to me that white only has one poorly placed piece, the rook on a1. Where is it best? It would seem to me that it would be best placed on the h file, but I could see arguments for the e file or

| | Jul-17-12 M Bartel vs Naiditsch, 2012
| |
|
artemis: kangaroo13:
white is clearly lost if the pawn on f7 falls. The rook and 4 pawns and a bishop will slaughter 2 bishops and 3 pawns in this situation, particularly with the far advanced black pawn. Thus, black will seek to make use of his rook (which he has done), and blockade the ...

| |
|
artemis: Shams: 1. e4 e5 2. f4 d5!
This play by black is the primary reason amongst many others that I do not like the King's gambit. Black has the luxury of easy development and can turn it into a gambit of his own after 3. exd5 e4 or he can play 3. ... exf4. This is my favorite response ...

|
| | Dec-10-11 Carlsen vs Adams, 2011
| |
|
artemis: Yes but I think that in that position I would hope to play a more karpovian type squeeze on black then a tactical brawl when black's knights are already protecting eachother. If the rook were to harmonize with them (a big if I admit) then white could be lost easily. Still I will ...

kenyon.edu. As I am very busy with my schoolwork, I cannot engage in longterm analysis of opening. If you are interested in this, I would point you to chessgames user: monad. I have started a few projects with him, but my own email server troubles plus my workload prematurely truncated these endeavours. If you have the time for it and are willing, he is a great person to work with.
