Feb-25-15 F Vallejo Pons vs Y Gruenfeld, 2015
| |
| AdrianP: Cf. Kotronias vs R Djurhuus, 1995 The win had been played out before! (reached by transposition). |

Jan-14-15 Tata Steel Masters (2015)

| AdrianP: Caruana seems to be consistently poor (relatively) in blitz. |

Nov-24-14 Carlsen - Anand World Championship Match (2014)
| |
| AdrianP: The quality of chess in this WCC was high. Usually, serious mistakes are part and parcel of high-stakes matchplay - see e.g. the very many genuine blunders in the Kasparov v Karpov matches. I am still of the view that it is quite wrong to describe Anand's exchange sac in game 11 as ... |

Nov-23-14 Carlsen vs Anand, 2014
| |
| AdrianP: B and c pawns give black serious play |
|
|
|
Nov-17-14 Carlsen vs Anand, 2014
| |
| AdrianP: <Aylerkupp> The problem with that type of defence is that White will bring his K up - Black cannot keep the K out for ever, as there will be zugzwang motifs (say e.g. White puts R on d8 (to prevent d6 checks), K on d5, N on e8) - NB also in your specific defensive set-up, a N ... |

|
Nov-14-14 Anand vs Carlsen, 2014
| |
| AdrianP: Should be reasonably straightforward for Magnus to draw this. The B is no better than the N with pawns all on one side of the board. Black just needs to be a bit careful. |
|
|
|
Nov-12-14 Carlsen vs Anand, 2014
| |
| AdrianP: Well I for one enjoyed that game... Carlsen found a bit of poison in a fairly innocuous looking position and forced Anand to play accurately to get the draw. More importantly, there was never a point when Anand even had a sniff of getting an advantage. Both players should feel ... |

|
Nov-11-14 Anand vs Carlsen, 2014
| |
| AdrianP: Boom!
Well done Vishy - typical of his best games. Super home preparation in dynamic lines and did not lack the killer instinct to put Magnus away. Anand at his best is reminiscent of the best serve-and-volleyers in tennis, Magnus maybe has a touch of the Murray/Federer/Nadal... ... |

Jan-12-12 Tata Steel Group A (2012)
| |
| AdrianP: Will be interesting to see how Gelfand goes as well, and what openings he'll play. |
|
|
|
Sep-18-11 Grischuk vs Svidler, 2011
| |
| AdrianP: The position on the board is still a little uncomfortable for Black. Given the match situation, Grischuk must continue playing for a win. |
