Feb-27-17 A Muzychuk vs Z Tan, 2017   socratead: Can someone explain why Bd7-Bc6-b6-Bb7 instead of b6-Bb7? I am totally confused by this choice. Every chess concept for the regular club level player or chess fan, praises development and advises to not waste moves in the opening. Why would someone at this level choose to use 4 ...      Mar-02-16 Capablanca vs M Coll, 1920    socratead: <Coriolis> Is Capablanca a part of you, a part of a hat, or a part of your hat?

I ...      Feb-07-09 Veselin Topalov    socratead: News about Topalov-Kamski match : http://news.guide-bulgaria.com/SW/S... .

I have the right one in Chess Canada...      Feb-15-08 Morelia-Linares (2008)    socratead: Where do you watch the other live games? On the official site under "Partidas en vivo" I see only a blank page...      Jan-26-08 Aronian vs Ivanchuk, 2008    socratead: <Ulhumbrus> Yes, I have to correct my statement, white would have won the g pawn but not game. The game is still drawn, he cannot promote even with 2 pawns ahead. As you said checks by black forever and keep the b file...      Jan-22-08 Leko vs Carlsen, 2008     Jan-22-08 Topalov vs Kramnik, 2008     Jan-20-08 Carlsen vs Gelfand, 2008     Dec-16-07 Kamsky vs Shirov, 2007     Sep-23-07 Morozevich vs Kramnik, 2007     Nov-25-06 Kramnik vs Deep Fritz, 2006     Oct-05-06 Kramnik - Topalov World Championship Match (2006)     Oct-04-06 Topalov vs Kramnik, 2006     Sep-29-06 Kramnik vs Topalov, 2006     Jan-22-06 Topalov vs Gelfand, 2006     Mar-13-05 Garry Kasparov
