jussu: <BigPawn>, That's very beautiful, but is it Anand's fault that his contemporaries are stronger than those of your "real" champions? And what could he do to clean himself of this horrible crime crime of not being dominant? Commit suicide, of shoot all other greats of our days?

| |
|
jussu: Peter Doggers of ChessVibes described this game nicely: <The game indeed looked a bit like a romantic, 19th century struggle, with the main difference that both Nakamura and Svidler played very well, saw all the tactics and finished the game as a correct draw>

| | May-07-13 J Negro vs Manuelli, 1983
| |
|
jussu: For aesthetics, I would prefer 32. Qh4, but in a practical game, I'd probably chicken out and go 32. Qxg6 because of its forcing nature.

jussu: Wow, that man is seriously obsessed.

| |
|
jussu: What the heck, Radja was a decent choice for the wildcard. He was highest rated among those who had not qualified by other means. In the end, sure, he played a terrible tournament, but such catastrophes happen; if we wrote off everyone for just one abysmal performance then all ...

jussu: <1600> Oh, that explains it!

jussu: The knee-jerk reaction 29... Rxe1 seems to fail to 30. Bxf7 Kh7 31. Be6.

| | Mar-31-13 Aronian vs Kramnik, 2013
| |
|
jussu: Totally obvious. The World #2 and #3, both having the WCh title at reach, decided, just for fun, to play it dirty and simply hand a win to one of them. Then, instead of agreeing to hang a piece in the opening or resort to a 20-move minature, they spent seven hours and buckets of sweat
