Drakulo has kibitzed 12 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jan-23-24 Anand vs H Wang, 2019   Drakulo: I took a look on other games with this opening and, just to add further thoughts on the 15.Rb4 line, it seems 15.h3 is a better solution to control the g4 square because we could possibly attack the castle with pawns too (f2-f4 and g2-g4) and, most of all, we want the queenside rook      Jan-19-24 Stockfish vs Houdini, 2013   Drakulo: I'm back 10 years later to rectify that there's human record of 9...cxd4 in 2004 and again in 2008, then this engine instance in 2013, and engines still find this move very productive!      Aug-05-16 V Wahltuch vs G M Norman, 1926   Drakulo: Black knights shuffling from moves 9 to 12 were probably passive.      Jan-16-15 Karjakin vs Grischuk, 2012   Drakulo: Watching the video (part 2), I was shocked at 67.Bh5 missing a draw, even considering the severe time trouble. The f-pawn cannot survive a sacrifice after: 67. Nxc5 Ne3+ [67...Bxc5 68. Kxc5] 68. Kxd4 Nxd1 69. Ne6 f3 70. Ng5 f2 71. Ne4+ Anyhow, quite interesting game to ...      Mar-26-14 Gelfand vs Aronian, 2014   Drakulo: On video, you can see Gelfand offered a draw. Aronian seemed to accept it, but, just about to shake hands, they noticed Gelfand's clock at zero.      Jan-28-14 J Duke vs G Tyagunov, 1991   Drakulo: Is this game incomplete? The position seems equal after 13. Na4.      Sep-18-13 Anand vs Ivanchuk, 1994    Drakulo: If you would allow me to analyze blitz, 26. Rc3 (-1.14) should have been played instead of 26. Kd1 (-#6). Anyhow, Ivanchuk missed the fatal move.      Sep-17-13 I Nikolic vs G Arsovic, 1989    Drakulo: 138... Ra3+ would have won the bishop, getting a winning chance, instead of fighting for a draw.      Aug-10-13 Karpov vs Ribli, 1973    Drakulo: It seems Ribli's critical error was 62... Kc8 , missing a potential draw with 62... Kb6, which goes for Karpov's pawns. Anyway, this game has very nice strategy.      May-21-13 Leko vs Kramnik, 2001    Drakulo: Shouldn't the white king stay on the safe a1 corner with his bishop around? That's a fortress, which means an easy draw. I can't see why Leko had to move his king elsewhere.
