FM Tamer Karatekin

I've retired from competitive chess in year 2000 after winning the Turkish championship. I still like to play in the Turkish league tough where I can stay in touch with old friends : - ) and get beaten by most, since they improved so much : -)

Check my draws in simuls against Kasparov and Karpov, probably the two toughest games in my entire career : - )

Kasparov vs T Karatekin, 1997

   Nov-20-09 V Gashimov vs Carlsen, 2009
 
tamerkaratekin: 67. c7 is a blunder and leads to perpetual check. Gashimov needs to practice end-game technique. He played perfectly until the one pawn up queen endgame, and then did not know how to win, so he tried to randomize, and gave Carlsen the draw. One pawn up endgames should be ...
 
   Nov-20-09 T Karatekin vs P Hummel, 2003
 
tamerkaratekin: :-) I was watching the 2009 world blitz championship games. A particular game resembles my game against Hummel a lot. http://chessgames.com/perl/chessgam... Carlsen is the highest rated player in the world during that game. Gashimov is also among top 10 I believe. He was also

tamerkaratekin: pawn sacrifice, rook maneuvers, queen maneuvers, rook sacrifice, queen sacrifice : - ) I love this game... FM Alper Ataman is running a successful chess publishing company in Turkey and has translated many of the chess classics first time to Turkish.

   Sep-18-09 T Karatekin vs K Nikolaidis, 1998
 
tamerkaratekin: One of the cleanest wins in my career. Also includes a strong novelty that I found over the board. The novelty was referred by a GM compiling a database report for this particular variation of Kings Indian Attack. We were playing in the same tournament with GM Atalik, and he ...

tamerkaratekin: I felt I could Caro-Kann like Karpov after this game : - )
 
   Sep-18-09 G Bagaturov vs T Karatekin, 1998
 
tamerkaratekin: This tournament was my first chance to work with GM Vasiukov as Turkish team coach. He is a legend on his own, and was close friends with world champ Mikhail Tal. Most important thing I learned from Vasiukov was that I wasn't analyzing my games as strictly as I should. As a ...
