Dec-09-24 D Gukesh vs Ding Liren, 2024    xanadu: Saffuna:Just extending the hand while looking down, as Ding did, looks odd. I do agree      Jan-21-24 V S Gujrathi vs Firouzja, 2024    xanadu: Really strange. Perhaps Firouzja had an illusion in the opening, moving 14...Qa4 (?), instead of 14...d5. The typical pawn d5 advance is not possible now with the Queen at a4, at least for many movements, then loosing the initiative and the game.      Jan-28-23 Carlsen vs R Praggnanandhaa, 2023    xanadu: Yes ! What amazing game !      Aug-13-22 Caruana vs Abdusattorov, 2022    xanadu: Yes,I agree, White does not reach an advantage in any line. However, the problem with the line followed by Caruana is that White got a disadvantage! After the opening, Caruana has an isolated pawn, while Black´s structure is fine. I guess Caruana should play BxN at c6, just earlier ...      Aug-11-22 Chennai Olympiad (2022)    xanadu: Why Aronian left the Armenia team ?      Jan-11-22 A Esipenko vs N Grandelius, 2021    xanadu: Hi Douglas. I guess I see the point you mention: to pin/attack the White´s Knight and Bishop on the e-line. In any case, Black got a nice position.      Jan-11-22 Andersson vs K Langeweg, 1981   xanadu: The mystake was to open the position with 22...d5, destroying the pawn structure.      Feb-03-21 Giri vs N Grandelius, 2021    xanadu: I guess one central issue in Najdorf-Oppocensky-like opennings is the break f4 by White. If Black takes (...e5xf4) then it gets nice diagonal for its two Bishops...but it gets a weak pawn structure also. If White neutralizes the Bishops, then goes to an advantageous final, like in ...      Nov-06-20 So vs A Liang, 2020    xanadu: Yes, the final position seems very even !      Sep-20-20 L Dominguez Perez vs Carlsen, 2020    xanadu: By moves 10-11 it looks like a Caro Kan or a Sicilian game.      May-23-20 Nakamura vs Aronian, 2020    Sep-21-17 World Cup (2017)     Jan-19-17 So vs Harikrishna, 2017     Jan-03-17 So vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2016    Sep-12-16 Harikrishna vs Karjakin, 2016     Apr-29-16 Aronian vs Carlsen, 2016     Apr-24-16 Carlsen vs Harikrishna, 2016    Mar-16-16 Karjakin vs Svidler, 2016     Mar-10-16 M Muzychuk vs Y Hou, 2016     Mar-05-16 Y Hou vs M Muzychuk, 2016     Mar-03-16 Muzychuk -
