Gryz has kibitzed 502 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jul-14-24 M Mukhin vs Tal, 1972    Gryz: > All pieces in own camp, no threats, no holes, everything is solid. Really? You are playing Tal. And on the 16th move you decide to not castle. And keep your king in the middle. While Tal has open c- and d-files. With his rooks on them. What did the guy expect? Tal offering a ...      Jan-28-24 Chessgames - Sports    Gryz: Thanks, Keypusher. I'm often lurking here during the year. Checking at least a few times per week. Always interesting what you guys have to say. I'm usually silent because I dont have much to add. I think Harden was the first to use the stepback-three. Or at least use it frequently ...      Mar-26-22 B Korpa vs T Meszaros, 2018    Gryz: If white plays 29 Be5 in the final position, then black plays Bb7, and black has a mate in 10. I think the solution to this problem is to deviate from the game at the 23rd move. White has to play Qxh5, not Bxh6. That gives white a winning advantage (+3.15 according to Houdini). The way      Apr-26-21 World Championship Candidates (2020/21)    Gryz: I'm proud of my countryman Giri. His end-result might be worse than it could have been: not sole second place. He probably lost prize-money. He lost rating points. But this was his only chance for a shot at the title. Against all odds, he went in with guns blazing. Chapeau!      Nov-06-20 0    Gryz: <Not a credible statement, by any measure.> Yeah, it's a real shame that the Democrats couldn't find a respectable running-mate like e.g. Sarah Palin was. Or a running-mate with the brilliancy of Dan Quayle.      May-20-20 Chessgames - Sports    Gryz: .... We go to Pippen. He’s had two major surgeries in two years, one of them late in the summer to purposely defy our instructions to do it earlier and not miss regular-season time. He wants to rightfully be paid superstar dollars. Is he worth the risk, especially if we can’t find ...      Apr-23-20 G Oparin vs M Kobalia, 2018    Gryz: The crucial point of this puzzle is: Do I first play Bf5 and then f2-f4 ? Or do I first play f2-f4, then Bf5 ? I chose to play Bf5 first. That's wrong. The reason is this: if you first play 35 Bf5, Nc7, and 36 f2-f4 next, then Black does not have to trade both pawns. He can play 37 ...      Mar-19-19 P Peelen vs J van Foreest, 2011    Gryz: <"the most fanatic was Jorden of course">. Nope. Little Machteld is the most fanatic. She's gonna be World Champion one day. :) I'm sure of it.
