Apr-22-15 Carlsen vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2015 
|
Andrijadj: Carlsen's win today reminds so much of Karpov's famous "White Key Symphony" win over Kasparov. Carlsen's style in general reminds heavily of Anatoly. He is improved Karpov, Karpov who doesn't take short draws and fights every game to the bare kings. If the game ever becomes GotD ... |

Feb-20-15 Viktor Korchnoi 
|
Andrijadj: Well, I wasn't lazy-I went to my parents' house and managed to find the book in question, "Chess Mastery" by Alexander Koblencs and you are completely right-I made a oversight. The book consists of short study/instructions about middlegame, endgame and opening and in the section ... |

Feb-19-15 Erich Eliskases 
|
Andrijadj: I am a bit biased towards Eliskases probably-my first chess trainer, when I was a kid, was a big fan of his play because he knew him personally (the trainer is now 80+ if he is alive) and always told us kids that Eliskases' endgames were a model of correct endgame play. Therefore ... |

|
Andrijadj: When you are black and you don't have a clear plan, push the a pawn to a4/a3. Always creates room for some counterplay. For example, Carlsen does that very often (he won a game with black against Anand not so long ago by using that idea). Here Flohr demonstrates the plan against ... |

Dec-29-14 Larsen vs Ivkov, 1967 
|
Andrijadj: Keypusher, with all due respect, your comment is moronic. I might not be better in endgames than Ivkov, but that doesn't change the fact that his play in this endgame is extremely bad. I don't know if your comment is simply the consequence of you being a moron or a pathetic ... |
