Oct-06-14 Gelfand vs D Andreikin, 2014
|
IPrometheus: The whole games was probably analyzed by Gelfand to the final move. 24 Nd6 would have been the next move for White. |

Sep-17-14 A Fier vs A Bivol, 2012 
|
IPrometheus: 36 ...Ke5 37 f4 # . 14...dxc3 is overly- ambitious, leaving the King to defend itself; 14...h6 is indicated here, where 15.Nh7 leads to complicated play; without 14...dxc3, a boring game would have developed--so hats off to Black for just going for it!! |

Sep-13-14 A Lein vs J Barle, 1979 
|
IPrometheus: I always heard it pronounced "lane", and he was known affectionately as Anatoly "Deep Drag" Lein, for his long, deep drags from his cigarettes. His level of play dropped dramatically, to the point where 2200's and 2300's were beating him fairly easily (in recent years). |

Nov-22-13 Carlsen vs Anand, 2013 
|
IPrometheus: Carlsen may be the better player, but Anand should have come out swinging in this match. He was playing not to lose. It was his mindset more than anything else that gave him no chance to win.. |

IPrometheus: GingerGM seems to have a penchant for wild and reckless predictions.. |

Nov-15-13 Carlsen vs Anand, 2013 
|
IPrometheus: Off to bed. I need to figure out why Carlsen would play such an ambitious opening only to reject 14 Qe4, which was in the spirit of the position.. |

Oct-16-13 M Gagunashvili vs G Souleidis, 2003 
|
IPrometheus: Ooooops--my apologies: 24 Rd2 Qa4+ 25 Kb2 Qxa2+ 26 Kc3 Qa3#! So Xeroxx went by R.J. Fischer's famous admonition: "I know it's mate, even if I don't know all the variations." Hey, I'm a rookie. Gimme a bre ak!! (Get it?1) |
