Jul-18-25 Stockfish vs Houdini, 2021    karban: Qc1 beautiful      Dec-24-24 D Smerdon vs I Rogers, 1998    karban: I will stick to my opinion. Here the economy of the position is marvellous plus the perfect symmetry of pawns, king and rook. Stunning to me.      Dec-12-24 Ding - Gukesh World Championship Match (2024)    karban: I also think that playing for who has the draw odds before match is fitting solution. Match finishes classical and, above all, at the every moment of the match is the person who trails the other one. It worked through some 20 matches in history, why not to give it a try?      Dec-11-24 D Gukesh vs Ding Liren, 2024    karban: I could understand that Gukesh maybe didn't expect that opening will go so well, and in fact he settled for tiebreaks already. But not capitalizing on this hour advantage on the clock is strange.      Dec-08-21 Carlsen vs Nepomniachtchi, 2021    karban: <You mean he can't get going or he can't stop falling?> Both. First five games he was settling, used to new conditions and all this crap, then he lost game 6 and still can't self-arrest his fall. In the meantime the ship has sailed.      Dec-08-21 Carlsen vs S Gabrielsen, 2003   karban: < This Carlsen kid was only 15> I think he was not even 13, given the date.      Dec-06-21 Carlsen - Nepomniachtchi World Championship Match (2021)    karban: It resembles Chennai 2013. Anand lost game 5 there and then crumbled out of nowhere in an equal endgame in game 6 playing below his level.      Dec-05-21 Carlsen vs Nepomniachtchi, 2021    karban: Where's the dancing rook? Question of the century.      Dec-04-21 Carlsen vs Nepomniachtchi, 2021    karban: The game and material imbalance is strikingly similar to this gem, surprised nobody talked about it yet: McShane vs Aronian, 2012 To my patzer eyes putting the king on e8 instead of g8 on move 128 broke the golden rule of keeping a king on a short wing. After the pawn crossed the ...      Feb-28-21 Levon Aronian    karban: I don't get financial reasons at all. Levon Aronian has won quite a lot tournaments in his life, could attract sponsors. Should be wealthy man, just from private money, I don't know how much he got from a state, if so. The fact that someone gives you extra money should not be a ...      Jan-25-20 Marshall vs H Rogosin, 1940     Jan-21-20 Firouzja vs Carlsen, 2020     Jan-20-20 Ju - Goryachkina Women's World Championship Match (2020)     Jan-09-20 Tal vs R G Wade, 1971     Dec-26-19 Svidler vs Adams, 2000     Dec-24-19 Grand Prix Jerusalem (2019)     Nov-27-19 GCT Kolkata Rapid & Blitz (2019)     Nov-15-19 Grand Prix Hamburg (2019)     Jan-30-19 Ribli vs Adorjan, 1983     Aug-28-18 Sinquefield Cup (2018)     Mar-26-18 World Championship Candidates (2018)     Mar-21-16 World Championship Candidates (2016)     Dec-14-15 London Chess Classic (2015)     Aug-30-15 Sinquefield Cup (2015)     Aug-20-15 Russian Championship Superfinal (Women) (2015)     Jun-17-15 Norway Chess (2015)     Feb-19-15 Magnus Carlsen     Jan-19-15 Jobava vs Carlsen, 2015     Jan-09-15 J Polgar vs Karpov, 2003     Nov-18-14 Carlsen - Anand World Championship Match (2014)     Nov-15-14 Carlsen vs Anand, 2014     Aug-19-14 Marta Bartel     Jun-27-14 Carlsen vs Q L Le, 2014     May-10-14 Timman vs Karpov, 1979     Nov-25-13 Anand - Carlsen World Championship Match (2013)     Nov-20-13 Steinitz vs Barry / Pillsbury / Snow, 1892     Aug-11-13 World Cup (2013)     Mar-11-13 World Championship Candidates (2013)     Jan-23-13 Tata Steel Group A (2013)     Nov-23-12 Women's World Championship Knockout Tournament (2012)     May-17-12 Anand - Gelfand World Championship Match (2012)     Apr-02-12 J Polgar vs P Chilingirova, 1988     Feb-17-12 Petrov Memorial Rapid (2012)     Feb-03-12 Gibraltar Masters (2012)     Jan-29-12 Tata Steel Group A (2012)     Jan-14-12 Z Almasi vs Khalifman, 1997     Dec-11-11 London Chess Classic (2011)     Nov-18-11 Tal Memorial (2011)     Oct-20-11 Alexander Morozevich     Oct-11-11 Grand Slam Chess Final (2011)     Sep-19-11 Ponomariov vs Ivanchuk, 2011     Sep-12-11 Kings - Queens (2011)     Sep-07-11 L Dominguez Perez vs J Polgar, 2011     Sep-07-11 World Cup (2011)     Aug-17-11 Carlsen vs J Polgar, 2008    Aug-16-11 Fischerandom Chess     Aug-11-11 Russian Championship Superfinal (2011)     Aug-10-11 Vladimir Kramnik     Jul-31-11 Biel Chess Festival (2011)     Jul-27-11 Shirov vs Carlsen, 2011     Jul-21-11 Dortmund Sparkassen (2011)     Jul-19-11 World Team Championship (2011)     Jun-18-11 Bazna King's Tournament (2011)     Jun-11-11 Hikaru Nakamura     May-24-11 World Championship Candidates (2011)
