shivasuri4 Member since Mar-23-08 Hari Om, I am from Bangalore, India. Posters like <Jim Bartle>, <achieve>, <Phony Benoni>, <Once>, <tpstar>, <Eyal>, <dzechiel> and <frogbert> are my favourites here. I strongly dislike disputes amongst themselves. Thanks to <Annie K.> for the premium membership, along with the other anonymous donor! I am an unrated player simply because I haven't played enough rated tournaments (only 2 so far). My best was a score of 8.5/9 (1st board winner)against fairly amiable opposition (only 2 rated players) in the VIT South Zone Inter University 2011-12. (http://chess-results.com/tnr65631.a...) In the corresponding championship for 2012-13 in Kerala, I scored 7/9 against slightly stiffer opposition, winning the third prize for board 1. (http://chess-results.com/tnr88650.a...) My ratings at chesscube.com are about 1900 in classical, 2000 in rapid and 2100+ in blitz and lightning. Since I am relatively weaker in the openings than in the other parts of the game, I absolutely love playing Chess960,even though many dismiss it by saying it's not chess. My online Chess960 rating is about 2150. I am a little too eager to simplify and reach the endgame as soon as possible, which has led to many a loss. I prefer playing queenless middle games. Outside chess, I follow cricket and top-level tennis quite keenly but have never played tennis except for some mild sessions.I also play table tennis and badminton, but don't really follow them internationally (the top players are usually Chinese and their names are either very hard to remember or they all sound the same!).

May-24-13 Hans-Joachim Federer   shivasuri4: http://www.atpworldtour.com/News/Te... Nadal and Djokovic are in the same half of the draw.      May-22-13 I Berezovsky vs V Rusel, 1984    shivasuri4: <devere>, it's not as bad as you think it is. After 8...0-0 9.Ng5 f6 10.Qc4+ <e6> 11.Nxe6 Bxe6 12.Qxe6+ Kh8, Black is only a pawn down and has some fighting chances.      May-21-13 Korchnoi vs I Krush, 2007    shivasuri4: Of course, White wins a pawn after 27.Rf8+ Kg7 28.Rxd8 Nxd8 29.Qxc7+ Qd7, but the advantage might prove insufficient to force a win.      May-21-13 V Small vs Panno, 1988    shivasuri4: <PaulLovric>, yes, that's right. Also notice that the black knight is stuck on g7 since moving it would allow Rh7#.      May-20-13 Norway Chess Tournament (2013)    shivasuri4: <Ezzy>, Aronian too has a winning record against Anand. Fine report otherwise.      May-16-13 Radjabov vs Anand, 2013    shivasuri4: <iqbalianpawn>, if 35.Rxc4, 35...dxe1=Q wins easily. 35.Qxd2 is met with 35...Qxc1 36.Rxc1 Bxc1 37.Nd3, when the b-pawn queens in 3 or 4 moves.      May-09-13 Anand vs Aronian, 2013   shivasuri4: 9...Nd4 may have been the novelty, although the resulting position didn't afford much play. <RookFile>, there are only 18 games in this database with 7.c4, so yes, it's quite rare. 7.c3 is easily the most common choice.      May-05-13 V Buenermann vs K Mokry, 1998    shivasuri4: <master of defense>, 73.e5 Rb1 should win for Black, with White unable to stop the a-pawn.      May-02-13 Spassky vs Tolush, 1958    shivasuri4: 21...gxf6 appears to be a better choice, improving the pawn-structure and letting the bishop continue to control the key c5 square.      May-01-13 Anand vs M Jadoul, 1986   shivasuri4: Surely Black could have continued the game here, as his pieces seem to be better co-ordinated than White's.
