Jun-03-13 FIDE Grand Prix Thessaloniki (2013)    maxfrank: Modestly, I might point out that my comments on the Dominguez-Topalov endgame were a little better than those reported after the game was over, on chessbase. Like me, the GM had computer assistance. This doesn't say much for me, but it does show the deterioration of analysis ...      Jun-03-13 Caruana vs Kamsky, 2013    maxfrank: 35...Kh7 loses. 3-way tie likely      May-24-13 Borislav Ivanov    maxfrank: RF sweep would cover most communications channels, except for human/visual, including light based clues, I would think. Note that 12 bits would usually be more than needed, since move alternatives are typically <= 5, and comm info could be minimized, since the human cheater ...      May-18-13 Norway Chess (2013)    maxfrank: <csmath> Anand was experimenting with the styles of the younger generation, in order to prepare for Carlsen. Not so strange. Very wise to understand that he can't be the same old Anand and keep his title. Great opportunity for him to learn, with so many strong younger ...      May-01-13 Tukmakov vs H Schussler, 1983    maxfrank: Epilogue 29...Rf7 30RxN QxQ 31RxQ Nb6 ... Winning but goes a bit longer. 30Qh4+ might go somewhere, like ...Kg6 31Qg4+ Kh7 32Rc8. That might be best? Any clearer win?      Apr-02-13 World Championship Candidates (2013)    maxfrank: Nietsche was amusing and brilliant, but not courageous in one way: when he was younger he let Wagner dictate changes in one of his books. Of greater relevance: he lived in a time of significant social change. Rousseau wrote nearer to the beginning of the Enlightenment, and Marx ...      Mar-27-13 Tseshkovsky vs B Itkis, 1983    maxfrank: I chose the consistent 43Rxc7+ Kb8 44Nxd5 e.g. ...Nf3+ 45Kc1      Mar-21-13 Kramnik vs Aronian, 2013    maxfrank: re Wallekers: I thought that line looked promising while watching the game (without considering e6 much), but then thought that 24Qxf5 seemed better, since it didn't give up the c file. Still just an idea...but isn't your avatar Rimbaud, who worked primarily from inspiration?! I ...      Mar-07-13 Women's World Team Championship (2013)    maxfrank: <notyetagm> tnx for pointing out the interesting Gunina vs Ju Wenjun. Unusual finish with a pileup on the K and Q files.      Feb-27-13 Anand vs Caruana, 2013    maxfrank: 14...Qc8 among Houdini candidates looks most like Caruana's style      Feb-27-13 Reykjavik Open (2013)     Feb-25-13 Anand vs Gelfand, 2013     Feb-23-13 Shulman vs N Mikkelsen, 2013    Feb-19-13 G Kanefsck vs R Cristobal, 1999     Feb-18-13 Viswanathan Anand     Feb-17-13 GRENKE Chess Classic (2013)     Feb-17-13 Naiditsch vs Anand, 2013     Feb-15-13 Naiditsch vs Caruana, 2013     Feb-14-13 Caruana vs Anand, 2013     Feb-13-13 G Meier vs Caruana, 2013     Feb-11-13 Caruana vs Fridman, 2013     Jan-30-13 T Dao vs F Jenni, 1998     Jan-24-13 T Luther vs D Yevseev, 1998     Oct-15-11 15th Unive Open (2011)     May-25-11 World Championship Candidates (2011)     May-25-11 Adams vs Seirawan, 1999     May-24-11 M Mchedlishvili vs S Volkov, 2011     May-03-11 G Bagaturov vs V Cugini, 2007     Apr-12-11 Spassky vs O Averkin, 1973     May-11-10 Anand - Topalov World Championship Match (2010)     Sep-06-09 Grand Slam Chess Final (2009)     Jul-07-09 Donostia Chess Festival (2009)     Jul-03-09 Dortmund Sparkassen (2009)     Jun-27-09 Dmitry Jakovenko     Jun-25-09 Gelfand vs Shirov, 2009     Jun-25-09 Bazna Tournament (2009)     May-21-09 M-Tel Masters (2009)     Oct-29-08 Anand - Kramnik World Championship Match (2008)     Sep-13-08 Grand Slam Chess Final (2008)     Aug-14-08 Sochi Grand Prix (2008)     Aug-12-08 Vladimir Kramnik     Aug-07-08 Timman vs Korchnoi, 1991     Aug-05-08 Motylev vs A Czebe, 2008     Jul-31-08 41st Biel International Chess Festival (2008)     Jul-30-08 Leinier Dominguez Perez     Jul-26-08 Onischuk vs Dominguez Perez, 2008     Jul-06-08 Dortmund Sparkassen (2008)     Jul-03-08 Kramnik vs Leko, 2008     Jun-20-08 Aerosvit (2008)     May-18-08 M-Tel Masters (2008)     May-04-08 Baku Grand Prix (2008)     Mar-22-08 Amber Tournament (Blindfold) (2008)     Mar-04-08 Morelia-Linares (2008)     Feb-16-08 Gata Kamsky     Jan-27-08 Corus Group A (2008)     Jan-21-08 Short vs I Cheparinov, 2008     Jan-21-08 Corus Group B (2008)     Jan-20-08 Nigel Short     Dec-28-07 Russian Championship Superfinal (2007)     Dec-09-07 World Cup (2007)     Sep-28-07 World Championship Tournament (2007)     Jun-30-07 Anand vs E Alekseev, 2007     Jun-30-07 Dortmund Sparkassen (2007)     Jun-11-07 World Championship Candidates (2007)     Jun-11-07 ???     May-26-07 37th Bosna Chess Tournament (2007)     May-22-07 Reiner vs Steinitz, 1860     May-19-07 Mtel Masters (2007)     May-14-07 Adams vs Mamedyarov, 2007     Apr-01-07 Kibitzer's Café     Mar-31-07 Leko vs Morozevich, 2007    Mar-18-07 16th Amber Tournament (Blindfold) (2007)     Mar-13-07 Ribli vs Spassky, 1985     Mar-13-07 Morelia-Linares (2007)     Oct-28-06 Essent Tournament (2006)     Oct-28-06 Topalov vs J Polgar, 2006     Oct-13-06 Kramnik - Topalov World Championship Match (2006)     Sep-21-06 Van Wely vs Kramnik, 1998     Aug-23-06 Kramnik vs K Georgiev, 1994     Aug-05-06 Leko vs Gelfand, 2006     Jul-30-06 Aronian vs Kramnik, 2006     Jul-30-06 Morozevich vs L Bruzon Batista, 2006     Jul-29-06 Dortmund Sparkassen (2006)     Jul-27-06 L Bruzon Batista vs Carlsen, 2006     Jul-26-06 Radjabov vs Carlsen, 2006     May-14-06 MTel Masters (2006)     Mar-22-06 Amber Blindfold (2006)     Mar-13-06 K Cottrell vs Lenderman, 2006     Mar-05-06 Leko vs Svidler, 2006     Feb-28-06 Veselin Topalov
