Oct-27-08 Anand-Kramnik World Championship Match (2008) 
| |
|
lisyaron: Should Kramnik win this game with such a 'large margin', it will be interesting to see the psychological impact it will have on Anand. Anand has been in a commanding position throughout the match, to lose a game in such a devastating fashion (compared with the other games) might ...

|
lisyaron: Things will be quite interesting in October when the match between Kramnik and Anand take place, I've got to say. Kramnik ended up with -1 in the Sparkassen tournament and the best Anand has here is also -1, assuming he manages to win the last round! As Kramnik said in one of his ...

| | Sep-08-08 Carlsen vs Aronian, 2008
| |
|
lisyaron: <JointheArmy: <Carlsen has done more at 17 than any other player in history. Not even Fischer or Kasparov can compare.>

That was a highly casual dismissal of what is obviously an incredible achievement. It may be true that we can not judge players ...

| |
|
lisyaron: It is interesting to note that Wang Yue has now been undefeated in both these Grand Prix events, being one of the lower-rated players in both. Truly a testimony to his strength, playing so well in such strong fields! Hopefully he will continue his remarkable rise with time!

| | Jun-26-08 Kiril Georgiev vs I Rogers, 1993
| |
|
lisyaron: The top Aussie player for years, it's a true pity that Rogers has retired, especially with the oncoming wave of talented young Australians like Zhao and Smerdon!

|
lisyaron: <veigaman: kramnik is clearly the main candidate to win> I'm not so sure about that. Given the nature of Kramnik's style of play, I'd hazard saying he should end up with a 'plus score' with some certainty, but it'd be difficult for him to win. Kramnik is a renown as a great ...

| | Jun-22-08 Alexander Morozevich
| |
|
lisyaron: <lorker: <microdot> why do you refer to him as great morozevich? sure hes an excellent player but it sounds kinda weird...> I think it was in reference to 'Alexander the Great'? :)
