Apr-19-13 Viswanathan Anand

samikd: Age ...Nationality...lengh of the match ...may be sometime we can talk about chess for a chess ? just a suggestion

Apr-02-13 World Championship Candidates (2013)

samikd: All the kibitzers who always whine about rapid play-offs have been shown how idiotic they are. How this is weird tiebreak system (S-B or any other system) , where your final standing depends on 'whether you defeated Svidler or your opponent lost to Radjabov ...' more fair than rapids

Mar-01-13 Zurich Chess Challenge (2013)

samikd: You know , guys ..I could have been as good as, if you not stronger than any of these players. In fact I could have become world champion. The only reason I haven't is because <I am hiding my preparation !>

May-17-12 Anand-Gelfand World Chess Championship (2012)

samikd: <ive lost all respect for anand and gelfand... Cowards!!!!!!> Too bad you didnt qualify for the world championship. Chess would be saved if you did. Why did you skip the candidates ? family reasons ?

Jan-21-11 Anand vs Grischuk, 2011

samikd: <chessgames.com> So this is an <uncommon opening> ? :) it looks pretty common to me ! I am sure I've seen it before :)

Dec-17-10 London Chess Classic (2010)

samikd: Carlsen is doing great, but lets not forget that he still regularly loses to Anand and Kramnik. So he has to go far before he can be compared to Kasparov. As for Anand, he is consistent as ever but really cant hope to win this type of tournaments if i cant beat the David Howells
