   Nov-14-17 Champions Showdown: Carlsen - Ding (Blitz G/10) (2017) (replies)
 
Nigel Short: Perhaps Ding is jet-lagged. I would suggest you need look no further for an explanation of the extremely one-sided score.

Nigel Short: The one time I saw the Clash, on Hastings Pier in January 1980, Joe Strummer adamantly insisted "No gobbing!"

Nigel Short: It is very hard to predict the strength of these events. The organisers had a target of 25 GMs, but ended up with just 4, including myself. I could not have known how weak it would be when I made the decision to enter.
 
   Jan-30-14 Sax vs Short, 1987 (replies)
 
Nigel Short: The worst thing was that I saw he was threatening Qxh6+, but I thought 37...Qd2 defended against it.
 
   Jul-02-12 Short vs I Krush, 2012 (replies)
 
Nigel Short: I suppose it is "unusual" because White didn't play 3.d4 - blundering a centre pawn.
 
   Jul-02-12 Edmonton International (2012) (replies)
 
Nigel Short: <shams> Shorts. He is dressed for the running track, not a chess tournament...
 
   Dec-20-11 Short vs V Laznicka, 2011 (replies)
 
Nigel Short: Especially not in a team competition.
 
   Nov-16-10 Portisch vs Short, 1975 (replies)
 
Nigel Short: Don't talk rot.
 
   May-11-10 Topalov vs Anand, 2010 (replies)
 
Nigel Short: What an historic victory! Really a great moment to witness... My feeling is that Anand simply has greater understanding of chess than his opponent. He is not getting any younger and so therefore his play, in parts, was marred by blunders, but he is basically a more quality act. ...
 
   May-09-10 Anand vs Topalov, 2010 (replies)
 
Nigel Short: Ok, now they are down to a one game match with Topalov playing White. Anand's best chance is now in extra-time, but watch out in case Toppy overpresses in the final game! All the best.
