Oct-10-14  paavoh: Wonderful technique by Svidler in the KRRp vs KRR end game, you can learn a lot. Definitely worth a look.

The problem with Svid is that even though he is extremely talented, he's just too damned happy go lucky.

Oct-10-14  CountryGirl: A hard-fought game where Svidler shows nice handling of the Black side of the d3 Spanish. His moves from around 20 to 27 were accurately calculated, using his better central control to win a pawn. He brings home the point with a well paced double rook ending, repeating as necessary to keep it under control. Solid effort, and must be satisfying for Svidler considering Leinier has a good record against him.

  An Englishman: Good Evening: Outstanding endgame technique; remarkable how the extra pair of Rooks gave Black extra opportunities to advance his pawn. But the key moment in the game comes much earlier, when Svidler came up with the surprising shot 19...Bc5, which seems to offer a Knight for nothing. But after 20.exf6, which White shunned, I can't figure out Black's best move. Help, please!
Oct-12-14  Nicocobas: <all> My fellow countryman Leinier is doing poorly. Bruzon, on the other hand, seems to be performing well (at least he put Cuba among the top 10 in the Olympics.). Maybe he's the one Cuba sent. Maybe it would help Leinier to cultivate Bruzon's perennial pissed-off look.
Oct-14-14  paavoh: @An Englishman: <But after 20.exf6, which White shunned, I can't figure out Black's best move. Help, please!>

W/O an engine assistance now, I feel that after 20.- Rxe1+ 21. Nxe1 Qd4, White has trouble guarding the f2 square.

Oct-14-14  Nicocobas: <all> It would seem to me that regular participants in these comments a) are very strong players b) who most likely know of each other and c)love to engage in esoteric topics. In other words, the rest of us can eat cake.
