DoctorC has kibitzed 38 times to chessgames   [less...]

Apr-04-14 Wojtaszek vs S Melia, 2014   DoctorC: It seems that the threat of h5 cannot be parried.      Mar-18-14 H Dronavalli vs Naiditsch, 2014   DoctorC: That is an impressive liquidation under pressure. Especially great defense has been exhibited towards the last few moves.      Dec-13-13 Ljubojevic vs Van der Wiel, 1986    DoctorC: The threat of 36. c4 forces resignation      May-05-13 T Gareyev vs L Christiansen, 2013    DoctorC: Is the score sheet correct? After 43 Qa5. Black has a decent position. 43 ...Bd6 seems to give an advantage to white.      Mar-22-13 Grischuk vs Gelfand, 2013    DoctorC: Why not 25 Nb5 Say 25) ...Qe5 26)BXe4 NXg4 27) BXb8 RXb8 Is this not ?      Mar-18-13 Gelfand vs Carlsen, 2013    DoctorC: 36. Qc3 followed by either Qb4 or Bc5 prevents passed pawns on the queen side for black. Also, the bishop needs to be transferred to possibly f6 via e7 (or simple exchanged with the knight; either way draw seems likely).      Mar-17-13 W Ju vs E Karavade, 2013   DoctorC: Yes, 29 ...Rb3 is quite good. 29 ...Rb4 indeed seems to be a mistake. 24..Rb8 is good because there is still a threat of RXe4 which cannot be easily defended. White cannot afford to move the f pawn because it seriously weakens the king. despite apparent weakness of the black king. I      Mar-14-13 E Karavade vs V Gunina, 2013    DoctorC: 26. Nxe5, Rxc3 27. Rxc3 Re6. 28) Rc7 Qa8 (Qb8 is met by Nd7 ) 29) Qb4 RXe5 30) RXf7 White has 2 pawns for the knight. I am not sure how this proceeds. Vasja, 27 exd4? is met by ..nd5. It seems to lose in many ways. Furtr c1 rook needs to defend the back rank.      Mar-13-13 S Swaminathan vs Q Guo, 2013   DoctorC: Is this not won game for white?      Mar-13-13 Z Tan vs M A Gomes, 2013   DoctorC: Great counter-play/defense by black.      Mar-13-13 P Rout vs Q Huang, 2013    Mar-11-13 M A Gomes vs A Galliamova, 2013    Mar-10-13 Lagno vs N Maisuradze, 2013    Mar-10-13 S Foisor vs S Swaminathan, 2013    Mar-09-13 I Krush vs N Mohota, 2013     Mar-09-13 E Karavade vs A Zatonskih, 2013    Mar-09-13 M A Gomes vs T Abrahamyan, 2013    Mar-04-13 P Short vs A Baburin, 2013    Feb-24-13 Anand vs Kramnik, 2013     Feb-15-13 M Kravtsiv vs A Korobov, 2013     Feb-05-13 Glek vs P Smirnov, 2013     Jan-18-13 Harikrishna vs Van Wely, 2013     Jan-16-13 Carlsen vs Harikrishna, 2013     Jan-15-13 Aronian vs Anand, 2013     Jan-15-13 Harikrishna vs Aronian, 2013    Dec-25-12 Sasikiran vs A Korobov, 2012    May-06-09 R Nagendra vs Lenderman, 2008    Apr-24-09 A Sokolov vs Korchnoi, 1987     Apr-23-09 Karpov vs Andersson, 1975     Apr-21-09 Van Wely vs Shankland, 2009
