| SharpAttack: What a super star studded field! This tournament should be very exciting. We might see some very accurate and unexciting draws. However, there are quite a few players who would be aiming for dynamic and aggressive wins. I personally feel that Carlsen will press hard for wins. ... |

Oct-15-12 Grand Slam Chess Final (2012)
| |
| SharpAttack: <drik> You are probably right. What I am interested in seeing is what Caruana's style evolves into in say 2-3 years. I have observed that Carlsen has started playing seemingly unambitious and less explored openings to reach middlegames with only a slight advantage. ... |

Jan-30-11 Tata Steel Group A (2011)
| |
| SharpAttack: Although Champ is the most solid player, he definitely lacks killer instinct. He cannot punish the bottom lot of the tournament. Carlsen and Kramnik thrash lower rated players as if they are playing casual club games. This is one area Anand should improve upon. With that said, ... |

| |
| SharpAttack: @Kingcrusher - I know you are definitely going to make a video annotation of this game after you finish your tournament. Make it fast! Very Very well played by McShane. A very promising grandmaster indeed! |
