 | | chancho: Man oh man. Brilliant! |
|
| Mar-06-09 | | parisattack: And, in any event my memory has failed me (again). The closest I find is Tal-Smyslov Bled 1959 with a ...Re8, ...Bf8 in a Scheveningen (of sorts). |
|
| Mar-06-09 | | blacksburg: <I don't think the plan with ...Re8 is in the spirit of the Scheveningen.> i've seen a few video commentaries on ICC that say that ...Re8 is a common idea in the scheveningen. but who knows why? can anyone explain this? i've never been able to figure it out, and that famous K-K match game in this line is way over my head. :( this is why i play 1...e5. |

Per<eyal> it is a fairly new idea - although see also the mentioned Tal-Smyslov game. I think Kotov played it once or twice, also. I studied the Scheveningen heavily in the 70s and per my old and weak chess thinking it is not in the spirit of the variation. Euwe mentions it in a footnote in the 10-Part series he did for Chess Review in 1949. I assume its in Kasparov's Scheveningen book, but I don't have that handy for reference. Either way, not very impressive play by Grischuk. You are right - 1. ...e5 easier to figure. :)

 | | kamalakanta: <samikd: Beautiful game ! Reminds me another game in the same line Anand vs Kasparov, 1995> This other game by Anand is not iin the same line, but it is a game in which ...Re8 also does not fit in... Anand vs I Sokolov, 1992 |
|
Mar-06-09
| | kamalakanta: Another nice game by Anand against Topalov in this variation (started out as a Taimanov, but transposed to Schveningen) Anand vs Topalov, 1996 |
|
| Mar-07-09 | | AuN1: way too passive from grischuk; he just basically showed his belly on this one. |
|
| Mar-07-09 | | outplayer: I'd like Mihai Suba to annotate this game. |
|
| Mar-07-09 | | parisattack: <kamalakanta:> Thank you for the two games! I love the Scheveningen but you have to have a very delicate touch to play it...The transpositions are enormous and mixing plans is something even GMs do a lot. |

| May-01-09 | | notyetagm: Chess Today CT-3098:
<Today we will look at the game,
which shared second place (with the
encounter Sjugirov vs Cheparinov) in
the ChessPro.ru monthly contest for
the best game of March 2009. The
winner, the game Vocaturo vs Hillarp-
Persson as well as many other
encounters from Maxim Notkin's
collection were already annotated in
CT earlier.
<<<Carlsen vs Grischuk from Linares is in
the 4th place.>>>> |

| Dec-25-09 | | magnuschess: sacrificial masterpiece... |
|
| Jul-29-10 | | Everett: <magnuschess> there is not a single true sacrifice in this game. Even the "exchange sac" Rxf6 is followed up by a knight fork the immediate grabs or threatens an unavoidable recovery of the exchange. This game is amazing for the amount of pressure created without a single sacrifice. It makes the Najdorf look positionally unsound. |

| Dec-08-16 | | Saniyat24: Great tactical play by Carlsen. I felt like Grischuk on his 24th move jumped on Carlsen's queen....! |

Game 18 in the Soltis book. Great game, Soltis does it justice in the notes. *** |
