Apr-29-13 Caruana vs Topalov, 2013 
| |
|
positionalgenius: Topalov's back, it seems. Very strong play from him lately. It's good to see him back.

|
| | Apr-09-13 Morozevich vs Jakovenko, 2013 
| |
|
positionalgenius: Trademark Morozevich... So much imagination.
|
|
| | Apr-09-13 Jobava vs Karjakin, 2013 
| |
|
positionalgenius: Karjakin's play is very bad here. I am suprised how quickly he drifts into a bad position. Is there any commentary available for this game?

| |
|
positionalgenius: Incredible tournament from Kasparov. One of his finest achievements.

| | Apr-07-13 World Championship Candidates (2013) 
| |
|
positionalgenius: <Knight> The best player isn't the one who wins the most tournaments. It should be the world champion- the player who earns the crown by beating all opposition. But as we will see again with this cycle the best player will not be playing for the title.

| | Apr-05-13 Corus Chess Tournament (2005)
| |
|
positionalgenius: Yes. Not even the same player. After failures at San Luis 2005, Linares 2006 (where he lost the lead in the final round) and Dortmund 2006 (same story, lost the lead in final round to Kramnik), Leko stopped playing with confidence. He's never gotten back to that peak, ...

| | Jan-19-13 Tata Steel (2013) 
| |
|
positionalgenius: ELO ratings are certainly not "meaningless". But a world title match carries much more pressure than your average tournament game.

| |
|
positionalgenius: Very cool... rich has his own page! Happy new year everybody.

|
| | Dec-09-12 London Chess Classic (2012) 
| |
|
positionalgenius: Anand hasn't played Aronian or carlsen, and in the years after Bonn Kramnik seems stronger, so its certainly not a stretch to be doubting him considering his play seems to have really dipped down. Compared to other world champs he hasn't been a dominant champ, especially ...
|
|
| | Dec-06-12 Adams vs Carlsen, 2012 
| |
|
positionalgenius: Another interesting game between these two. Unfortunately, Adams always seems to be on the losing side.
