| wallytherhino: Tournament Comments:
I am happy in a world full of draws we have Shirov in the lead with (+4 -1 =0). I hope Shirov-Carlsen will not derail the tournament for Shirov. There are four pair downs in round 6. The higher the number of pair downs the more polarizing the tie breaks ... |

Jun-06-17 Norway Chess (Blitz) (2017)
| |
| wallytherhino: The biggest surprise here comes with the results from Viswanathan Anand (2789 rapid, 2766 blitz). He goes 1-2 in the first three games and then draws out the rest. (+1 -2 =6) will get the job done in a long round robin as he can record wins against opponents who are mentally ... |

Nov-30-16 Carlsen vs Karjakin, 2016
| |
| wallytherhino: The plan for Karjakin (black) might be to take the pawn on b3 and then wreck havoc in the backfield, converting the chaos into a win. |

Nov-23-16 Carlsen - Karjakin World Championship Match (2016)
| |
| wallytherhino: Games 1-7: Standard GM play. They were teasing out where the next tactical edge would come from. Game 8-9: They spent all the energy they sand bagged on games 1-7 on these two games. I hope that games 10-12 are just as epic. |

Nov-21-16 Carlsen vs Karjakin, 2016
| |
| wallytherhino: Karjakin went from turning down a draw offer on move 19 with a muddy board position. Karjakin turned it around and then beat Carlsen in a wild endgame. I impressed by the size and density of stones on Karjakin. |

Jan-26-16 Tata Steel Masters (2016)
| |
| wallytherhino: Wei Yi has redeemed himself with a win in round 9. This tournament is shaping up to be a very strong event. To anyone who says Carlsen is a pampered super GM he is proving with each tournament win he belongs in spades. Carlsen is Kasparov, but he is belongs in the top tier of ... |
