CountryGirl has kibitzed 495 times to chessgames   [more...]

Dec-06-21 Alireza Firouzja    CountryGirl: Firouzja seems as good as Carlsen. A Norwegian and an Iranian at the very top, who'd a thunk it? I know 20 years ago I couldn't have imagined it. Over the next 10 years Magnus will progress towards age 41, Alireza to 28. Perhaps Magnus can somehow use Alireza's competition to ...      Apr-12-21 Spassky - Fischer World Championship Match (1972)    CountryGirl: Interesting to revisit the story of Reykjavik.

I wonder exactly when Matlakov saw this possibility?      Jul-24-19 Vachier-Lagrave vs Mamedyarov, 2019    CountryGirl: Glad the Giuoco Piano got killed at last (hate that opening!)      Apr-29-19 Carlsen vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2019    CountryGirl: Bobwhoosta wrote "not only has he completely revamped his style, ....He used to be a grinder.." I remember, way back when, when Carlsen was first beating grandmasters, he was actually a very aggressive, attacking player. And also lost quite a few games. The endgame master came ...      Apr-19-19 G Jones vs Van Wely, 2018   CountryGirl: Van Wely's Revenge...for that 2007 loss to Jones :)
