| Dec-27-15 | | cro777: IM Lin Chen is playing very well in the Qatar Masters Open 2015, one of the strongest chess open tournaments ever. In rounds 6 and 7 he had two consecutive wins against strong grandmasters Daniil Dubov and Hou Yifan http://static1.squarespace.com/stat... In the penultimate round he meets Wesley So with the black pieces. |
|
| Dec-27-15 | | epistle: His wins looked more like his opponents underestimated him and overpressed. Wesley BS should not do this and go for an immediate draw by repetition of moves. (thunder and lightning) |

| Dec-28-15 | | epistle: If only looks could kill---

| Dec-28-15 | | epistle: Let's see a draw now. I couldn't afford to be too ambitious with you boy, since you are not yet a GM like me. But if an opportunity to do another lynching opens itself up, do it Lin Chen! |

| Dec-28-15 | | epistle: GM Wesley So (2781) - IM Chen Lin (2532)
Queen's Gambit Declined Slav
1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 a6 5.e3 Bf5 6.Qb3
Hmmmn. A yawning gap (249 elo points) separate our hero, whose name even sounds like a Chinese restaurant, from his challenger. But he must persevere and prevail because that is the only way he can catch up with Magnus. |

| Dec-28-15 | | epistle: 6...Ra7 7.Nh4 Bg6 8.Nxg6 hxg6 9.g3 e6 10.Bg2 *
It's still theory up to this point. Trust me. |
|
| Dec-28-15 | | epistle: 10...Be7 11.Bd2
We have a new move! As far as the Opening Explorer show this has not been tried before. |
|
| Dec-28-15 | | epistle: 11....Nbd7 12. Ne2...
Hmmn. Out of the Opening Explorer mutes winking. I say white wants to reposition his N. |
|
| Dec-28-15 | | epistle: 12....0-0. Black has equalised. We are in for the long haul. |
|
| Dec-28-15 | | epistle: Just play solidly Lin Chen. So's brain has liquified reading amulet's fake list over and over again. |
|
| Dec-28-15 | | epistle: 13.Qc2....
Freeing the b2 pawn for a possible push. |
|
| Dec-28-15 | | epistle: 13....Ra8.
Attaboy Lin Chen! Solid play. The white Q having gotten fed up threatening the b7 pawn, the R has to improve its position also to a8. |
|
| Dec-28-15 | | epistle: My brilliant analysis here was cut short earlier by CG who prevented my postings by saying I was posting too much. My god. When I troll I'm suspended. When I do chess, I also suffer censorship |
|
| Dec-28-15 | | epistle: Lin Chen is a revelation in this tournament.
A draw here, as I said, would be ok. |
|
| Dec-28-15 | | epistle: Wesley BS may overpress however and lose |
|
| Dec-28-15 | | epistle: Go Lin Chen! |
|
| Dec-28-15 | | epistle: Lin Chen has a passed pawn. This should be a draw unless it queens. |
|
| Dec-28-15 | | epistle: <chessobserver: I got my wish! Wesley vs. Lin Chen (2532)!> Indeed. Next time be careful what you wish for. LOL |
|
| Dec-28-15 | | cro777: With a draw against Wesley So in the penultimate round, Lin Chen obtained his third grandmaster norm. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CXUynLT... |
|
| Dec-28-15 | | Pulo y Gata: Since Wesley BS is Carlsen's equal, Lin Chen has got himself promoted as Magnus's equal also.. |
|
| Dec-28-15 | | cro777: Lin Chen holds Wesley So in 132 move marathon game.

| Dec-28-15 | | epistle: Great job Lin Chen! The entire Philippines salutes you! Thank you! |
|
| Dec-29-15 | | epistle: Credit partly goes to this great player. I think you again sir. |
|
| Dec-29-15 | | cro777: What was Magnus thinking?

|
| Dec-30-15 | | epistle: I wonder why he doesn't know when a draw is a draw?
