Jun-19-18 Kibitzer's Café    Oliphaunt: Since becoming a christian I realize that chess is a sinful game, but I still have problems giving it up for good. A few weeks or months pass and then I'm at it again. It has a strong pull on me and I like to play blindfolded against the computer. As I've said before chess is a ...      Feb-02-14 Nakamura vs Carlsen, 2014    Oliphaunt: Suitable pun for this game: "One does not simply walk into Mordor".      May-14-13 Norway Chess (2013)    Oliphaunt: <pbercker> I have to agree. I was away for 1 hr and was certain that the game was drawn.      Apr-22-13 Magnus Carlsen    Oliphaunt: I say that you are a crazy bird.      Mar-28-13 World Championship Candidates (2013)    Oliphaunt: I feel so sorry for the moderator in the live commentary. It's impossible to keep up with Ivanchuk when he speaks russian very quickly.      Mar-28-13 Grischuk vs Kramnik, 2013    Oliphaunt: When I saw the press conference I felt almost sure that Grischuk lost on purpose. I'm still very suspicious; both Svidler and Grischuk has now blundered away decent positions against Kramnik. 30.Bxd4 is not a move that a 2700 player would do under normal circumstances. It's on the      Nov-06-11 Le Quang Liem vs Dominguez Perez, 2011    Oliphaunt: Very artistic finish! 29..Kf7 30.Qxg7+ Ke6 31.Qe5+ Kf7 32.Qf6+ Ke8 33.Bb4 [DIAGRAM] It is so neat that Qf6 covers a1; the dual mate threat on f8 and e7 cannot be covered by 33...Qe2, hence 1-0.      Sep-02-11 Shirov vs M Leon Hoyos, 2011    Oliphaunt: <28...Nf8 29.Qg4+ Kh8 30.Rh5+ Nh7 31.Rxh7+ Kxh7 32.Qh5+ Kg7 33.Qg5+ Kh7 34.Re6 wins> 29.Rg5+ Kf7 30.Rf1#.      Jul-01-10 acirce chessforum    Oliphaunt: <It's not like the US would have been interested in a democratic state per se, unless it was guaranteed to be a friendly one.> Not necessarily as we've seen with the Shah in Iran and many states in Latin America. It makes me think that the US would've been better off with a ...      Jun-04-10 Fine vs Najdorf, 1949    Oliphaunt: Not too hard; spotted the basic idea (king takes king takes ...Kg2) almost instantly.      Jun-01-10 0     May-28-10 Computer     May-28-10 A Reisinger vs C Buenjer, 2001     May-27-10 Alekhine vs N E Schwartz, 1926     May-27-10 Vladimir Kramnik     May-27-10 Anand - Topalov World Championship Match (2010)     May-20-10 K Georgiev vs Kasparov, 1980     May-11-10 Topalov vs Anand, 2010     May-05-10 A J Goldsby vs K Olson, 2009     May-05-10 D Howell vs P Steneskog, 2006    Apr-28-10 Anand vs Topalov, 2010     Feb-02-10 Viswanathan Anand     Jan-31-10 Corus Group A (2010)     Jan-29-10 Gelfand vs Svidler, 1996     Jan-24-10 Karjakin vs Short, 2010     Jan-21-10 Hikaru Nakamura     Dec-19-09 Santa Claus     Dec-17-09 D Byrne vs Fischer, 1956     Dec-15-09 London Chess Classic (2009)     Dec-13-09 Carlsen vs Nakamura, 2009     Dec-12-09 chessgames.com chessforum     Dec-10-09 M Simonet vs Khalifman, 2004    Dec-08-09 Carlsen vs Kramnik, 2009     Oct-27-09 Bacrot vs Aronian, 2009     Oct-11-09 Kasparov vs Anand, 1996     Oct-09-09 Pearl Spring Chess Tournament (2009)     Oct-06-09 Carlsen vs Y Wang, 2009     Sep-02-09 Botvinnik vs Capablanca, 1938     Aug-31-09 Peter Heine Nielsen     Jun-21-09 Jakovenko vs Naiditsch, 2009    Jun-19-09 Shirov vs Gelfand, 2009     Jun-02-09 Hoang Nam Nguyen vs K Yang, 2009    May-23-09 M-Tel Masters (2009)     May-23-09 Carlsen vs Dominguez Perez, 2009     May-20-09 M Gurevich vs R Ovetchkin, 2007     May-18-09 Robson vs Gulko, 2009     May-17-09 Movsesian vs H Wang, 2009    May-16-09 H Ree vs Ftacnik, 1978     May-12-09 Traxler vs J Samanek, 1900     May-09-09 L Milman vs J Fang, 2005     Apr-17-09 Reshevsky vs Benjamin, 1979     Apr-17-09 I Krush vs J Fang, 2001     Apr-16-09 Ivanchuk vs Bacrot, 2009    Apr-16-09 Tal vs Petrosian, 1975     Apr-10-09 Gedeon Barcza Memorial (2009)     Apr-09-09 Fabiano Caruana     Apr-09-09 Caruana vs H Ni, 2009     Apr-08-09 Anand vs Kramnik, 2009     Apr-07-09 Kasparov vs Lautier, 1994     Apr-02-09 J Sachetti vs V Costin, 1898     Mar-27-09 M Tissir vs R Kalod, 2001     Mar-27-09 T Fogarasi vs N Medvegy, 2003     Mar-25-09 Carlsen vs Kramnik, 2009     Mar-25-09 Amber Tournament (Blindfold) (2009)     Mar-30-06 Leko vs Morozevich, 2006     Mar-29-06 F Riemann vs Tarrasch, 1883     Mar-28-06 Falkbeer vs Zytogorski, 1855     Mar-23-06 Kasimdzhanov vs J Polgar, 2005     Mar-10-06 Topalov vs Leko, 2006     Feb-14-05 A Y Green vs D Mardle, 1959    Feb-14-05 C De Vere vs S F Loyd, 1867    Feb-13-05 V Tipu vs P Saint-Amand, 2004
