After his loss, Levon looked at Caoili and beckoned her to check Wesley's undergarment for any cheating device. Caoili began to take off Wesley's clothes...there was glee and full cooperation than resistance in Wesley's eyes. Check for yourself: http://www.chessbomb.com/arena/2016...

Jun-10-16		tpstar: 6 ... Ra7 is such a computer move Opening Explorer but later Black's QR was well positioned on a6. 28 ... Rxd4! was a sham exchange sacrifice after 29. Bxd4 Nxd4 30. Rc3 Ne2+ regaining the exchange. Nice endgame by Wesley.

Jun-10-16		thegoodanarchist: <chessalem: he mimics chess engines...> The top players have trained with chess engines since childhood. The engines are their teachers, and so they play as they were taught to play. The top players utilize the ideas and plans that they learned from engines.
