May-23-12 Gelfand vs Anand, 2012
| |
| Macnamara: In my opinion, 19.c5 means that Gelfand hasn't recovered psychologically from his blunder in the 8th game. Instead of applying his iron strategy in a better position, he preferred to enter in an endgame where he has fewer chances to win. |

Sep-02-10 Keres vs Averbakh, 1953
| |
| Macnamara: <Dredge Rivers>
Now, <whiteshark>, do you have ANYTHING which would in any way refute what I have just stated? I'm sorry, but it's no way of defending your argument. How could you refute me if I'd say that Keres threw the game because he was abducted by martians? |

| |
| Macnamara: <So, if you feel that anything under 30 moves is bad, then why did you say there was a significant difference between a 1 move draw and a 10 mover?> I don't feel anything under 30 moves is bad, you have misunderstood it. The purpose of this rule is to oblige the players to ... |

May-11-10 Topalov vs Anand, 2010
| |
| Macnamara: <Nigel Short: Ok, the game is not over...yet, but whilst we are waiting for the remaining moves, what are people's thoughts on the length of the match? Personally I think 16 is a better number. It is more of a test... I'd prefer 18 instead of 16. In fact, why not going back to ... |

| Macnamara: <Nigel Short: I am wrong. Kosteniuk was right - much as it galls me to say it. I overlooked something> Bah, Kosteniuk has a team of three GM's behind her and you're alone! |
