DCLawyer has kibitzed 71 times to chessgames   [more...]

Mar-27-18 Grischuk vs Caruana, 2018    DCLawyer: Karjakin has an edge against Ding, so a draw may not be enough for Caruana here.      Jul-11-13 Fischer vs J Altusky, 1954    DCLawyer: This game illustrates some problems with the "Guess The Move" feature. 7.e5?! is a weak move because of 8...Ng4. Both 7.Be2 and 7.Qd2 are better. But full credit is given for 7.e5, while the better 7.Qd2 is scored down. 9.Nd5? is another weak move and would have increased Black's ...      Apr-11-13 Magnus Carlsen    DCLawyer: <Minitrey> <Although I think Anand is honest, there are probably powerful subtexts to what Anand is saying, and which he expects Carlsen to pick up . . . Though potentially powerful, there's nothing tricky or sinister about such communication. Its all fair and square.> ...      Apr-06-13 World Championship Candidates (2013)    DCLawyer: <Satellite Dan: My opinion is Houdinis rating makes it a better chess player, what do you think?> I think that you're entitled to your opinion.      Nov-21-10 Kibitzer's Café    DCLawyer: Now I understand. And if 3...Kxa1 4.Na4. Thanks for sharing your expertise!      May-28-10 Steinitz vs Lang, 1860    DCLawyer: After playing this game, I checked the moves with Fritz 8. A number of bad errors on both sides. But most disturbing is that points are actually deducted for choosing moves that are at least as good as Steinitz's (e.g., 5.0-0 vs. 5.d4) or that clearly are better (11.Rf2 or 11.Rf3 ...      May-11-10 Topalov vs Anand, 2010    DCLawyer: The one result that I did not expect today. Congratulations to Topalov on a gallant effort. And thank heavens that the world title has not fallen into Danailov's hands.      May-10-10 Anand - Topalov World Championship Match (2010)    DCLawyer: <The real world championship match would have been between Vishy Anand and Magnus Carlsen. Simply handing Topalov the opportunity to play is heavy-handed injustice and deeply unfair to those who love chess.> I don't like the current qualification system, either. Nor did I ...      May-09-10 Anand vs Topalov, 2010    DCLawyer: Wouldn't the best way of implementing the Short plan be Nc3-e2-d4? If it goes to b3, it could be exchanged.      May-07-10 Topalov vs Anand, 2010    DCLawyer: <Nigel Short: He has probably got to take that impudent bishop on a6. The White queen then enters menacingly, but it seems as if Black has sufficient resources due to the exposed White monarch.> This reminds me of a passage from Andrew Soltis' "Karl Marx Plays Chess," in ...
