May-17-13 Carlsen vs Wang Hao, 2013    maelith: <achieve: Regardless, this shows Carlsen again is susceptible to nerves of some kind. We just rarely see it on display like today. Hao for one is able to keep his cool this time; he has learned his lessons, and fast.> Not really, Carlsen shows his nerves and toughness, in many      Mar-27-13 Wesley So    maelith: <Iskubadayb: Anyway, I got a kick out of Chuck's opening---The mighty Budapest Gambit!> Ivanchuk is a man of all season, he play different kind of openings because he is interested in different kind of positions - GM Seirawan      Feb-22-13 W So vs Wei Yi, 2013    maelith: Maatalkko: <Also, let the record show that certain kibitzers - names aren't important - declared the game a "dead draw" around move 40.

Anand is a chess genius.      Nov-06-12 Anatoly Karpov    maelith: <tamar: My surprise was that Karpov declined so much after 1997 or so. I thought he would be like Steinitz, and be just warming up at age 46. Giri impressed me with his effortless rise, but the mysterious factor of motivation seems to have left him, perhaps temporarily.> Anand      Oct-18-12 Garry Kasparov    maelith: <Watching Garry at that particular post-mortem in Niksic gave me the same feeling as watching Michael Jordan and Bruce Lee at the top of their game.
