| James Bowman: <I disagree with the rest of your post. You can't nail something like this down to percentage.> I guess that would include arbitrarily arriving at say 50%? |

Mar-27-14 A J Goldsby
| |
| James Bowman: Ok I will and I am. My natural inclination is for the KID but your sample game helped. |

Mar-26-14 Magnus Carlsen
| |
| James Bowman: Magnus calls it like he see's it and I appreciate that. He seems rational and grounded too. Kramnik has spoken out more often but as noted Vishy has always been the consummate gentleman. I hope Anand providing he wins plays with the same OTB skill he has shown here. Magnus ... |

Mar-23-14 Hikaru Nakamura
| |
| James Bowman: Kazzak most of Nakamura's detractors seem to need some Head and Shoulders themselves, but hypocrisy has never been more in vogue. |

Mar-18-14 Svidler vs D Andreikin, 2014

Mar-14-14 Kramnik vs Karjakin, 2014
| |
| James Bowman: Ok so this isn't going to be a boring affair. |

|
Mar-13-14 Anand vs Aronian, 2014
| |
| James Bowman: Anand won by playing dynamically for a positional advantage eventually trapping the knight. This will work better for him than playing for a drawish endgame which doesn't play to his own strengths. While I think the ultimate outcome of the WC match would have been the same, ... |
