Surrealist has kibitzed 291 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jul-25-11 Vladimir Kramnik    Surrealist: There is even another aspect of luck in chess. Lets say that both players see as deep as each other in some position. They might both think that the game is equal. One move more depth in the calculations, however, might change the assessment of the position completely. Here, the ...      Oct-09-10 Grand Slam Chess Final (2010)    Surrealist: <anandrulez: How Carlsen missed 29..Nd4 is a mystery its a simple drawing alternative.> Shipov: The alternative 29...Nd4, it seems, didn't equalise - 30.Nxd4 cxd4 31.a4 Bf6 and here instead of all kinds of blockade white attacks the pawn by 32.Ng4 Bg7 33.Nh2! and 34.Nf3. ...      Jan-30-10 Corus Group A (2010)    Surrealist: <iamsheaf> Not busted yes but easy draws are getting less common all the time. I think Sveshnikov is also a very well studied sicilian and it lacks content (easy to learn the opening till endgame or at least very specific middle game) compared to Najdorf and others. Caro ...      Dec-10-09 London Chess Classic (2009)    Surrealist: <lentil> I disagree. Carlsen has the bishop pair and better developement. He must be better, especially if they change the pawns.      Nov-13-09 Tal Memorial (2009)    Surrealist: Not as dead as the rook ending, still looks very drawn.      Jul-08-09 Dortmund Sparkassen (2009)    Surrealist: g4-g5 for Jako now?      Sep-19-07 World Championship Tournament (2007)    Surrealist: Ruy Lopez is somewhat Leko's speciality so I don't think Anand will win today but who knows. Very interesting opening choises all over.      Jun-27-07 Dortmund Sparkassen (2007)    Surrealist: Great play by Kramnik. Carlsen may have made some inaccurasies but some of those moves have been pretty deep I think. Rb8 failed due the potential backrank weaknesses etc.      May-27-07 Queen's Gambit Declined, Tarrasch (D34)    Surrealist: Isolated queen's pawn is not only a weakness, it has some attacking potential on its own. You should be looking all the time for possibilities to advance it. Also Black can play Re8 and Bg4 pressurizing the e2-pawn. Too bad that against well prepared opponent the Tarrasch is too ...      May-05-07 Kramnik - Aronian Rapid Match (2007)    Surrealist: I think it will be a draw.
