| grook: Guys, been wondering, after Black's 30...Nxd5, can White play 31.Qxe4, posing some difficult questions for

| grook: <Surely this win shows that Anand is just an idiot savant? Or has he been cheating (is there a toilet handy for him there?)? - certainly he's been very lucky in the match so far - BUT - unlike Kramnik he really doesn't understand deep positional subtleties.> Hey hey! my friend ... |

Oct-18-08 Kramnik vs Anand, 2008
| |
| grook: Great game by both players, the old maxim that a few moves, or even one, can mean victory or loss applies even at this high level, although it has to be said that that the pressure from Anand played a big part. It's too early on in the match to predict the winner, but after the first ... |

Mar-07-08 Morelia-Linares (2008)

| grook: I would hold my guns first before celebrating, Carlsen is an upset magician, but Radjabov isn't known for big blunders (nothing short of a big blunder can deny him a draw). But I understand in case of a tie Anand clinches it. So hurray!! for Anand :) |

May-24-06 J Wanjiru Wambugu vs S Paridar, 2006
| |
| grook: <kellmano>:Not so bad for a player with a rating that low. Kenya is still in the periphery of chess, but Wambugu tried here... |

| |
| grook: 35...Ra1? is Wanjiru's undoing in this game, she would have held out for much longer, if not play for draw. All the same nice try, 1606 rating lasted longer against 2100...We Kenyans are watching!!! |

| grook: All that is being said about Anand is true, I am learning most painfully - I almost certainly will lose the massive 300 chessbucks I bet on him :-( |
