HolyAvatar has kibitzed 26 times to chessgames   [more...]

Feb-14-16 Kramnik vs Nakamura, 2016    HolyAvatar: Why doesn't white take on g7 turn 25?      Jan-30-16 Gibraltar Masters (2016)    HolyAvatar: When you compare those achievements with physiological attributes like the ability to carry children and give birth, you become biased hinting that is natural. You may think that a region being dominant in a type of sport is evidently due to nature but that is not obvious. When ...      Dec-27-15 Qatar Masters (2015)    HolyAvatar: I hope Shak-MC game will be as explosive as I hope it to be.      Nov-21-15 European Team Championship (2015)    HolyAvatar: Thank you Sally Simpson.      Sep-25-15 World Cup (2015)    HolyAvatar: Let's not start a philosophy debate between art and technique (or craftsmanship).

I was worth the wait I guess.      Jun-07-11 F Lambert vs H Howe, 1875    HolyAvatar: I actually like the pun. It is sarcasm,François Xavier's (FX) attack was not very SOUND but special effects (repeated weak moves by black in the end)led him to a win.      Jun-02-11 A Timofeev vs Svidler, 2008    HolyAvatar: <CHESSTTCAMPS> after 23.Rxe4 Rg8 mate in two 24.Qh4 Kg7 25.Rg4# The only way to avoid mate after Rxe4 is to sacrifice the queen. <sevenseaman> Ng6 seems winning in all the variations I calculated. 1.Ng6+ hxg6 2.Rh3+ Nh7 3.fxg6 Ndf8 4.Rxh7 Nxh7 5.Qh4 and mate next ...
