Mar-19-14		offramp: We could call him Radaronian.

Mar-19-14		Richard Taylor: Radaronian? Is he dangerous (beside his chess?)

Mar-19-14		chessdgc2: White wouldn't want Black's N to fork him at d4...so 1. c3 seems logical here, but this isn't the most pleasant either since this would weaken the pawns badly...perhaps 1. 'Rd1ch is better?

Mar-19-14		cro777: <Richard Taylor: The woman GM (cant write her name) who is commentating with her husband Heine...> In 2013 GM Viktorija Èmilytė married Danish Grandmaster Peter Heine Nielsen. Before, she was married to Shirov.

Mar-19-14		chessdgc2: Hmmm, wonder if Heine is better with the Romantics?

Mar-19-14		cro777: Anand has now c3 and f3 followed by Bf2

Mar-19-14		DcGentle: click for larger view White to move: <29. c3> would prevent a knight fork. But White has other options as well.

Mar-19-14		Richard Taylor: I knew that but I couldn't see her name as a typed. I hate those strange Russian or Hungarian names what is wrong with Smith, Robinson or Taylor?

Mar-19-14		keypusher: Catching up. 22....Nxc3 looked good to me.

Mar-19-14		cro777: Viktorija Èmilytė (born 1983 in Šiauliai) is a Lithuanian chess player.

Mar-19-14		Richard Taylor: You mean she was born in one of those strange and dark places where everything is paradox and no one eats fish and chips or MacDonalds.

Mar-19-14		chessdgc2: cro777: Yes, I've across her name before and may have even looked at a couple of her games...not sure just how great she is amongst the women and will look into it later...thanks for sharing this with us

Mar-19-14		DcGentle: <<keypusher>: Catching up. 22....Nxc3 looked good to me.> Well, after <22... Nxc3 23. Rh7> Black's g-pawn is hard to defend.

Mar-19-14		cro777: Richard must love this. Lithuania’s fourth city, Šiauliai was first mentioned in rhyme in 1236 in reference to a savage battle between the then Lithuanian tribes and the Sword Brothers, a particularly nasty bunch of monks working for the Bishop of Riga.

Mar-19-14		DcGentle: Draw agreed.

Mar-19-14		DcGentle: Final position: click for larger view White has space advantage and Black's mobility is worse, so after all I thought that White would go on for a while.

Mar-19-14		cro777: Anand draws while Topalov seems to be winning against Kramnik!

Mar-19-14		ossipossi: Looks like there is no way for White to attack K-side without freeing B-Rook and leaving an unattended Q-side.

Mar-19-14		waustad: I've seen her name spelled this way: Viktorija Čmilytė, but never before with the E and accent. Then again, what computers do with non-ASCII characters often gets odd.

Mar-19-14		Richard Taylor: Fascinating. I have met Latvians and Estonians (mostly in the chess world) as well as Hungarians. Most of these were good chess players and or eccentrics although to be fair I have been nominated as rather odd by some rather nasty people... I have read that there was a large Latvian / Lithuanian empire at one stage...

Mar-19-14		Ulhumbrus: Instead of 11 Bf4, 11 Bg5 offers to exchange the black squared bishops in the event of ...Be7

Mar-19-14		AylerKupp: Viktorija Èmilytë was married to Alexei Shirov from 2001 to 2007 and they had 2 children. If genes count in chess, those are 2 children to watch!

Mar-20-14		waustad: And their step dad is Peter Heine Nielsen

Mar-21-14		whiteshark: "The only drawback of the solid system with h5 is Black’s total lack of ambition." -- Evgenij Miroshnichenko

Aug-29-15		joddon: karjarkin and carrlsen obviously played tons of practice games together.....both their styles are identical to one another. maybe thats how they both got up there!!they made each other good....they evevn play the same moves alot!!i noticed this , im not sure anybody has??
