May-23-05 | | acirce: chessbase.com has 15 games with the position after 8.Nc3. The results from White's side, and that is not including this game: +14 =1 -0
LOL. But you really don't need the stats to wonder what Jobava was thinking in the opening. It seems essentially lost after 13.g4 already. |

Jun-01-05 | | notyetagm: The amazing thing about this game is that it contains so little tactics. Black (Jobava) is just so totally outplayed positionally that tactics really aren't called for. Amazing to see a 2637-rated GM lose so easily. The Tromp is just not Jobava's thing. A few days later, in the same tournament, he lost to Bruzon in 19 moves. So that is <2 Trompowskys, 2 losses, a combined 44 moves for Jobava>. Impossible to imagine Jobava doing so poorly in his other Black defenses. |

Yes, a true display on profound understanding of chess, not just the opening. |

Aug-28-15 | | CountryGirl: It's interesting how good a record Ivanchuk has against players who, like him, are known for great originality - he has a healthy plus against such players as Jobava, Morozevich, and Shirov... Suggests that to beat Vassily you won't do it through greater creativity, since he rules in that area. |
