Aug-03-18 Mark Dvoretzky    Chessman1504: I very much enjoy his interviews from a few years ago. It's really interesting what he says about Carlsen and his intuition vs his ability to calculate. Agdestein joked that he could sometimes calculate better, but that Carlsen's feeling for the positions was perfect.      Jul-26-18 Reiner vs Steinitz, 1860   Chessman1504: Gelfand vs Kramnik, 1996 Here is an optically similar tactical theme.      Jul-23-18 Capablanca vs Tartakower, 1924    Chessman1504: I'm always impressed by this game. Allowing The structural weaknesses and material sacrifices to get a dominating king position is such a sublime technique. I can always come back to this game and regain a love for chess, and striving to play "simply" (which is of course, ...      Aug-01-16 F Duz-Khotimirsky vs Capablanca, 1925    Chessman1504: There's also a Karpov vs Seirawan game involving a positional pawn sac: Karpov vs Seirawan, 1983      May-29-16 Kasparov vs Csom, 1980    Chessman1504: The Rxh7 sacrifice bears a slight resemblance to the winning tactic Nakamura missed against Carlsen in Zurich 2014.      May-28-16 Magnus Carlsen    Chessman1504: <Jambow> Hehe, yes, I did not phrase my viewpoint in the best way. What I meant to imply is that, how rounded his play is a larger strength than the things I mentioned he had a preference for. What you've said is interesting, as is what <perfidious> and ...      Jan-02-16 Wei Yi    Chessman1504: Wei Yi is definitely someone to watch for this year. I can't wait to see his game against Carlsen in Tata Steel. It may, however, be a few years before he becomes a top-ten player, but he made a lot progress in 2015, and this might continue in 2016.      Dec-31-15 Magnus Carlsen    Chessman1504: <Appaz> That is true! I'd be very amused by a world championship match between the two. Giri seems to consistently get risk-free (from a human standpoint) positions against Carlsen, and I'd love to see them duke it out. I'm afraid they might have 12 draws, though :(      Aug-02-15 Wei Yi vs L Bruzon Batista, 2015    Chessman1504: <pinoy king> I don't think you can tell.      Jul-31-15 Anand vs Carlsen, 2015    Chessman1504: I was a little naive thinking someone of Anand's class could not beat Carlsen in this way. The way he conducted the attack is reminiscent of the Kasparov vs Karpov matches. I'm sure he wanted this kind of position in the first world championship match as opposed to the Berlin ...
