asiduodiego: A great victory by Sergey: congratulations to him. Both Carlsen and Anand had somewhat disappointing performances, Anand more than Magnus, of course. I think neither of them is happy with this tournament. Also, a good tournament for Nakamura, he ended in 2nd place, tied with ...

asiduodiego: Indeed. Nice game by Anand. The computer evaluation suggested 35 Ba2! and also White is winning, but 35 Be6! is much more forceful, in my opinion, and it's more romantic. XD

asiduodiego: <Catholic Bishop> Indeed, but watching her game, it seems she had the right idea at the beginning: 81 Kd3 was the right move. But then, apparently, she panicked with the prospect of the black king escaping, but 82 Ne2 and 83 Be6, there's no escape. In my opinion, a clear ...

asiduodiego: <Overgod> Man, get over it. all Petrosianic is saying is: "I think the format was lame, I would have preferred another tiebreak system". That's it. You don't need to prove that Carlsen is a demi-god of Chess and he played perfectly, so the system was perfect because the ...

asiduodiego: <csmath> In fact, it could be said, in a subtle way, that Rxb7 was the real losing move: it doomed White to passive defense, in a strategically worse position. In such positions, the worst side must defend with activity, stopping the progress of the better side by creating

| |
|
asiduodiego: <Petrosianic> Indeed. The ending is not at all "trivial" after g6. In fact, I was watching the game without Houdini from a mobile phone and, altough I thought Black was better, I wasn't sure the whole thing had been "a huge blunder", and thought: "Well, perhaps there's ...
