Apr-23-19  Whitehat1963: Crushing finish!
Apr-23-19  john barleycorn: we heard it already from the CG experts. That kid is going nowhere

<Apr-22-19 Fanques Fair: The kid needs to improve yet his postional vision. White's plan in this structure is to play e4. Weakening all light squares doesn't really help to gain conterplay against Black's asset, the passed c4 pawn.>

<Apr-22-19 ndg2: It's probably the tactical side that is still lacking. SF at one point ( move 31) sees white at 2.2 (Qf4 instead of Rf1)>

When will this crap ever stop? He should fire Peter Leko immediately.

Apr-23-19  scchess: Come on... He's obviously very good, but simply outclassed by those super GMs. You can't blame him when he's like 200 rating point behind everyone.

Peter Leko is doing a GREAT job for bringing him to here.

Apr-24-19  Ulhumbrus: Acccording to the chessbase website Black has in fact the upper hand and 21...g5! closes the king side and deprives White of counterplay while Black's attack remains. Here is a link to the page : https://en.chessbase.com/post/grenk...
Apr-24-19  Messiah: Amazing finish by Arkadij!
Apr-24-19  Caissanist: Chess.com says that 21..g5 was a suggestion from Leko himself. So apparently Keymer has the right guy to learn from, he just has a long way to go. lot of learning left to do.
Apr-25-19  ChessHigherCat: Fantastic game by Naiditsch! At the risk of repeating myself, I found this game infinitely more interesting and entertaining than games of...

Maybe not as instructive in terms of the paradoxical strength of doubled pawns in MC vs. Anand or mating technique in MC vs. FVP but a hell of a lot more entertaining than either IMHO.
