May-16-13 Magnus Carlsen    Maatalkko: You guys are n00bs.      May-10-13 Norway Chess Tournament (2013)    Maatalkko: The World Champion wins one game and chess fans are going bananas. I think that says a lot in itself.      May-07-13 J L Hammer vs Carlsen, 2013    Maatalkko: Pet peeve of mine that Chessbase calls this is called a "sac" when Black is getting the Queen back four ply later through a forced sequence with two pawns interest. It's a nice tactic, but not really a sac.      Apr-29-13 Alekhine Memorial (2013)    Maatalkko: <Everett: I did glean a few things from our interaction, though, mostly that by looking at the numbers, it is clear that only Kasparov and Karpov had really dominant performances for extended periods of time as champion. Most of the others were just happy to be there, and were ...      Apr-29-13 Team White vs Team Black, 2013     Apr-25-13 Svidler vs M Vachier-Lagrave, 2013    Maatalkko: Great game by MVL. Just noting two things. 1) All four games between MVL and Svidler have been won by Black, with a standard and a blitz win for each player 2) This was Svidler's 27th game in 41 days, since the start of the Candidates. He needs a break.      Apr-25-13 Kramnik vs Fressinet, 2013    Maatalkko: <Eyal> Your lines are good. Of course 12. Nd4 is way better, should have seen that. I should get back to work.      Apr-23-13 Chinese Championships (2013)    Maatalkko: You guys jinxed him. Ah well. The tournament's tough, but he can bounce back.      Apr-01-13 Ivanchuk vs Kramnik, 2013    Maatalkko: If this was a normal game, Kramnik would resign now. Should be over. Although I wanted Kramnik to win, I almost hope he doesn't now because the cries of collusion would never cease.      Apr-01-13 Carlsen vs Svidler, 2013    Maatalkko: <plang: For all the criticisms this has been a very exciting tournament> Sometimes I get the feeling that young Alekhine, young Capa, and young Fischer could all come back from the dead and play a quadruple round robin against prime Karpov and Kasparov, and these pages would
