Mar-28-16 Sergey Karjakin    starkidaway: No offence to Karjakin, but his stuttering is going to drive me bunkers during each press conference during the World Championship match. Does he only suffer from this speech impediment when he's speaking English? I don't speak Russian so I really don't know if he's stuttering ...      Nov-27-13 L Esterman vs I Friedman, 1963    starkidaway: I get that the solution in the game works, but what is wrong with 21.Qe4? Black has a couple of options: 21..... Nf5 22.Qg4+ wins 21... f5 22. Qh4 wins 21....Ng6 22.Bxf6 and it's hard for black to stop white from coming to h6      Oct-03-12 J Waitzkin vs B Kreiman, 1993    starkidaway: Why there is not a single comment in this game? I guess it wasn't worth of a discussion but worth to be GOTD. lol      Sep-27-12 Hracek vs A Kveinys, 1992    starkidaway: Man, and I thought it was white to move and win. I stared at this position like an idiot for 10 minutes.      Sep-25-12 F Vallejo Pons vs Carlsen, 2012    starkidaway: It's amazing how Carlsen seems to find ways of how to win drawing positions that usually originates from inferior openings. I think he really has a higher drive to win than most players...not to mention he's braver than most.Just the fact that he takes higher risks than most ...      Sep-09-12 Istanbul Olympiad (2012)    starkidaway: So who won the Olympia? According to chessbase: After ten rounds China was leading in both groups. But in the final round they lost 1-3 to Ukraine, while Armenia and Russia both won; and in the Women's they won 2.5-1.5, but the Russians whitewashed Kazakhstan 4-0. On ...      Aug-09-12 Jakovenko vs Karjakin, 2012    starkidaway: When they play against themselves these Russian are a bunch of cowards and piece pushers.There is not a hint of passion nor spirit in 85% of these games.      Jun-01-11 J Krejcik vs R Muenz, 1911    starkidaway: I analyzed 11.Ng5 and I'm not sure if it's as good as in the game. Ex: A) 1.Ng5 Qxg2 2.Bf3 Bg4 3.BxQ BxQ 4.RxB and white is up a piece since black can't play 4....PxN 5.Bxb7 and white wins a rook. Or B) 11.Ng5 Qh4 12.g3 BxP ( 13.fXB Qh6 14.Ne6 QxB 15.Nxc7+ Kf8 ...      Mar-28-11 E Danielian vs C Zhu, 2011    starkidaway: I actually didn't see the queen sack (got absorbed looking for mate with the knight) but I saw another forced mate--not as pretty but it does the job as well. 46.Nd7+BxN 47.Qh8+ Qg8 48.Qf6+ Qf7 49.QxQ mate.      Jan-14-11 Ivanchuk vs Shirov, 2009    starkidaway: What was the whole point of 16. c5? Why not just 16. Nxc6?      Jan-12-11 Matulovic vs A Tsvetkov, 1965     Jan-07-11 R Vera vs G Lebredo Zaragoitia, 1982     Dec-18-10 K Hulak vs D Barlov, 1987    Nov-16-10 World Blitz Championship (2010)     Nov-14-10 Grischuk vs Nakamura, 2010     Nov-10-10 Shirov vs Nakamura, 2010     Nov-08-10 Gelfand vs Grischuk, 2010     Nov-08-10 Mamedyarov vs Aronian, 2010     Sep-16-10 L Evans vs Larsen, 1957     Jul-27-10 Macieja vs M Bartel, 2010    Jul-23-10 A Riazantsev vs H Ni, 2010     Jun-05-10 Aronian vs Dominguez Perez, 2010     Apr-09-10 Englisch vs Gunsberg, 1885     Apr-06-10 Anand - Topalov World Championship Match (2010)     Apr-02-10 Smyslov vs C Kottnauer, 1946     Mar-20-10 Anand vs R Kempinski, 2010     Mar-11-10 Levenfish vs N Riumin, 1936     Nov-09-09 Iturrizaga Bonelli vs Lenderman, 2009    Oct-29-09 Topalov vs Adams, 2009     Mar-07-09 G Nagy vs Kmoch, 1925     Feb-28-09 Gavrilov vs Kevorkian, 1990     Jan-04-09 H C Plunkett vs Steinitz, 1875     Dec-29-08 H Karner vs Mass, 1971     Jul-20-08 Yates vs Rubinstein, 1925     May-30-08 M Hebden vs E Prie, 1984     Jan-09-08 Capablanca vs R Raubitschek, 1906     Jan-04-08 I Ionica vs V Jianu, 2001     Dec-27-07 R Nezhmetdinov vs O Chernikov, 1962     Dec-19-07 Svidler vs A Rychagov, 2007     Oct-19-07 T Wiesniak vs Kholmov, 1991     Sep-25-07 Aronian vs Grischuk, 2007     Sep-08-07 A Rodriguez vs I Herrera, 1990    Sep-12-06 Z Ksieski vs Navara, 1998     Mar-10-06 Topalov vs Leko, 2006     Mar-08-06 Topalov vs Ivanchuk, 2006     Mar-07-06 Ivanchuk vs Leko, 2006     Mar-02-06 S Khodzhibekov vs Korchnoi, 1956     Feb-24-06 Razuvaev vs Z Mestrovic, 1981     Jan-17-06 Van Wely vs Topalov, 2006     Jan-16-06 Ivanchuk vs Anand, 2006     Dec-11-05 Jansa vs D Marovic, 1974     Oct-13-05 Kasimdzhanov vs Topalov, 2005     Oct-05-05 Topalov vs Kasimdzhanov, 2005     Sep-29-05 Topalov vs Anand, 2005     Sep-20-05 N Popova vs T Zaitseva, 1974
