Jun-13-11 Steinitz vs A Mongredien, 1862 
|
Thesaint8x: I think the main lesson of the game is that double fianhetto meant Black was behind in development and should nevever have opened center with e5.After that it was White win all the way with some more weak moves by black. |

Dec-15-10 Y Hou vs Short, 2008 
|
Thesaint8x: Hou can I learn to play like this? Taking advantage of a misplaced knight?I am hoping someone plays like Black in this line and I can impress everyone.Not improbable,now that this opening is becoming as fashionable (for the moment?)as Sicilian. |

|
Thesaint8x: Has Anand faced the GP Attack in recent years?I am sure he must be aware of Yermolinsky's answer to it in his book but has not used it in this game. Anand has missed a chance to be positionally up had he played 15..fxe4 instead of 15..dxe4 |

Thesaint8x: Carlsen-Adams is going to be a treat.Not easy for Carlsen to be go for a win against a natural genius like Adams. |

Thesaint8x: Will be interesting to watch Vishy counter Nakamura's unorthodox thinking.Will it be 1d4f5 ? Then Nakamura should take care! |

Thesaint8x: Kasparov's advantage is not just opening preparation but the Russian system backing him and Bovinnik's guidance which Vishy Anand lacked.That is the foundation which the latter lacked in 1995.Not now,perhaps. |

|
Thesaint8x: I do hope Vishy plays 1.e4 more often.Against Magnus in a future world championship game will Vishy dare 1e4? |

Thesaint8x: I do hope Magnus is outplayed strategically or tactically by Bacrot.That would be cool to watch. |

Oct-22-10 L van Vliet vs Rubinstein, 1907
|
Thesaint8x: I agree Black's tension-releasing-for White is strange,since I have got this outpost in a tournament game where I got the better position by maintaining the knight though I subsequently could not convert advantage to victory.
Black's 25th move( ! )centralizing the King is ... |
