Apr-23-21 World Championship Candidates (2020/21) 
| |
| DWTaylorSr: Here's something to ponder. If Nepo wins this . he has a winnig record in classical games aginst Carlsen. Both are the same age so energy kevels should not be an excuse. Giri is a good player but tends to play for too many draws.Doesn't lose but won't beat Carlsen either in a 14 ... |

Oct-11-19 Carlsen vs Kuzubov, 2019
| |
| DWTaylorSr: To Rogge,
Thanks for clearing that up. The position looked drawn to me, but of course this is "Carlsen " playing the end game. Thanks. |

Sep-07-19 Benko vs Fischer, 1958
| |
| DWTaylorSr: The "Chess World " has lost a great person with the passing of Pal Benko. We will all miss his informative articles.
I still enjoy playing through his games against the masters of the previous generations. Rest in peace . |

May-21-19 Karjakin vs Nepomniachtchi, 2019
| |
| DWTaylorSr: Karjakin lays a trap on 13.... if ab5 14. Rf1+ & Qf7 mate threats.Nice trap, too bad Nepom:: didn't fall for it !! Also 21. Bd7 looks better. |

May-21-19 So vs Karjakin, 2019
| |
| DWTaylorSr: To ( thegoodanarchchist ) On blacks 51st move ,he has 3 candidate moves to choose from. (Kd7) (Ke8) or (Kf7).Basically what ( Rogge) is saying , the real threat is c-5 winning the rook,game set, and match as they say! Hope this helps you out. |

May-17-19 Giri vs Dubov, 2019
| |
| DWTaylorSr: Is Giri going back to his" Draw Every Game " technique.This method was bad before as he lost rating points and status as a top player. Still , Dubov is no slouch. Draw beats a loss!!!! |

Apr-24-19 Keymer vs G Meier, 2019
| |
| DWTaylorSr: Nice job by Keymer. This was probably his only real shot at a victory. This crowd is like a group of sharks on a feeding frenzy. Great experience for the young man, but way above his play level. He should be playing aginst players @ 2600 levels , not mid 2700-2800 players. Still, |

Mar-26-18 Caruana vs Aronian, 2018
| |
| DWTaylorSr: Congrats to Fab!! Cool under pressure. Not sure who plays tomorrow, but would prefer to see Shak or Fab against Carlsen. I don't think either will prevail but should be some better games than a repeat of the past cycle. Just my opinion for what it is worth. Yeah I know, everybody |

Mar-12-18 Caruana vs Mamedyarov, 2018
| |
| DWTaylorSr: I agree with you. Re2 and Re1 look ok. The game still looks like it will end up drawn. Maybe later they would fight for a result. |

| DWTaylorSr: Want to see the tournament's best game, go to Debashis -Navara rd.#2 . What a great game!! Hats off to Debashis for that comeback!! Not to mention being about 250 pts. lower rated! Great game!! |
