| GreenArrow: Why are you charging for people to view the games at the Staunton memorial? You should not be charging seeing as the DGT boards are borrowed from the ECF, to name just one reason. Of course this event is slightly pointless really, it won't get shown on any chess servers and does ... |

Jul-06-09 Kramnik vs Jakovenko, 2009
| |
| GreenArrow: disgraceful result. They should really impose a no draw offer rule in Dortmund, it is the worst tournament because they consistently invite the two biggest culprits - Kramnik and Leko |

Jul-02-09 K Arkell vs R Eames, 2009
| |
| GreenArrow: Good draw offer because white is in fact lost after 27...Bf3+ 28.Kg1 Rec8 29.Bxd6 Ng4! 30.Qxf3 Rxf1+ emerging up an exchange with a winning game. Eames must have missed the tactical trick 29...Ng4! or he surely would have played on. |

Jul-02-09 Carlsen vs Jakovenko, 2009
| |
| GreenArrow: <jako played 28...c5, a move indicated by frederic friedel on playchess>. A very bad sign for Jakovenko then. Friedel is dense |

Jun-22-09 Gelfand vs Nisipeanu, 2009
| |
| GreenArrow: It is a shame that a lot of people have to annotate by result and fob off black's play as 'horrible', presumably based on the fact that he lost and is 'only' 2675. 21...Nxe4! is an excellent idea with the game continuation line and also intending 22.Qc2 Qh4 or 22.Nxa8 Nf2 with ... |

Jun-20-09 Ivanchuk vs Nisipeanu, 2009
| |
| GreenArrow: Nisipeanu is not rewarded for his creative pawn sac 12...d5?!. The serious error seems to be 22...Nc5. Instead, 22...Nf6! is unclear after 23.Re7 Bd8! 24.Rxb7 Re8+ 25.Kd3 Ne4 when at a lower level contest I think white would be in danger of losing, even though 'technically' he ... |

| GreenArrow: 2515 must be correspondance; over the board he is of a moderate level. 2153 is about right |

May-02-09 Wesley So
| |
| GreenArrow: <obientag> www.mentalhealth.org.uk . <lordnigel> <By the way, I'm an Enlish Teacher.> Your sense of irony amuses me. Looks like the Wesley So page is attracting the usual number of lunatics |

Apr-20-09 Velimirovic vs Ljubojevic, 1972
| |
| GreenArrow: <wolfmaster> Well MorphyMatt's analysis is entirely plagarised from 'The World's Greatest Chess Games' by Nunn, Emms and Burgess, so presumably the game |

Apr-04-09 Dmitry Jakovenko
| |
| GreenArrow: <Whitehat1963> Agreed, Jakovenko definitely deserves some invites to the biggest events. He is one of the best endgame players in the world, without being an otherwise boring player. A few 2700 old hands are slipping slightly now, or at least offering very uninspiring ... |
