Sep-04-12 | | scorpion2a: Three passed connected pawns on the center would definitely smother Black's game. |

Jul-30-13 | | dunican: This is truly an ingenious pun. Congrats to whoever came up with it. |

Jul-30-13 | | Abdel Irada: I wonder if Black should prefer 10. ...O-O to the text 10. ...Bxh6. Perhaps Vallejo-Pons was uncomfortable about facing a pawn storm, but this is the Sicilian: He who attacks best wins. Whether White castles long or stays in the center, Black must rely on finding sufficient counterplay rather than play timidly. Also, I think this decision (which entails delayed kingside castling for both players, but still with a kingside attack for White, and now no counterplay for Black) is inconsistent with the subsequent pawn grab on a2. Black might have survived either decision on its own, but taken together, they appear to have been too much. ∞ |

Jul-30-13 | | hedgeh0g: I'm a bit skeptical of the way Black handled the opening here. Without following up immediately with ...b5 and ...Bb7, I think the early ...a6 was inaccurate as White simply gained time to swap off Black's dark-squared bishop. ...Rb8 is a more logical way to play for the queenside expansion, in my opinion, as it saves a tempo and gets the rook off the diagonal. See Adams vs Kasparov, 1999 for a model handling of the Closed Sicilian from the Black side. |

Jul-30-13 | | The Last Straw: Nice job outplaying Vallejo. Good game. |
|
Jul-30-13 | | kevin86: The pawns already are exerting huge pressure...black bugs out before things are even worse. |
|
Jul-30-13 | | quinlan: Three free pawns in just 29 moves!
Really unusual, between two grandmasters! |
|
Jul-30-13 | | SimonWebbsTiger: @<Quinlan>
this sprung to mind (position at move 27)
Boleslavsky vs Botvinnik, 1943 |

Jan-31-19 | | Violin sonata: <The significance of all this is that the move order chosen allowed Magnus to keep a pawn that proved instrumental in his victory.> I have an experience in the kings indian attack, that most players often lose their game lies on the move order concept. |

Nov-11-20 | | Mehzinho: Absolutely beautiful how Carlsen creates 3 passers out of apparently nothing. I made a video analysis on this marble here:

This *stupendous* Carlsen effort is the best, most shocking <PAWN STRUCTURE TRANSFORMATION> I have ever seen.> Bronstein was also a master of these transformations. |
