Learned the game at age of 7, played OTB in the 1980's, converted to CC in mid-1990's, now just following what is going on at the top.

Does this path reflect a decline in my chess abilities or increased demands at my day job in sciences?

Still, I feel a spark when seeing a great game.

paavoh: White predicted that Black would castle short and locked the Queenside. After 17 moves, only Black had credible chances for an attack. Strategy misfired?

paavoh: Shades of Morozevich in Black's play, eh? Seems very awkward but is so resilient.

paavoh: @xanadu: I guess Cmilyte cannot help herself, she has an uncompromizing, attacking style. Check out her player page.

paavoh: Karjakin said at press conf that already at move 10.bxc5 he enjoyed "a comfortable advantage", after getting 9.b4 "for free".
