| TrueBlue: I like Nh3+. It wins material after e2 and it makes the game more interesting. |

Dec-01-12 Women's World Championship Knockout Tournament (2012)
| |
| TrueBlue: I don't see why people are surprised. People from the former soviet republics always win the chess competitions. Maybe they should have their own chess competition and the winner should be automatically declared world champion? I believe the domination of the Russians is the reason |

| TrueBlue: the ability to use Ribka doesn't make you a chess player, just the opposite! |

| TrueBlue: FFS, this site should be called http://www.iloveanand.com or http://www.iwantosleepwithanand.com or http://www.icantlivewithoutananad.com or http://www.ineedaroomwithanand.com . It's sad that it is almost impossible to find an objective comment about the match here ... |

May-05-10 Anand - Topalov World Championship Match (2010)
| |
| TrueBlue: So your guy is losing, and the way to deal with it is say that the competition is low level of play!??!?!? So Anand lost the WC, big deal, it was poor competition, not a big deal :))))))
I so love to torture Anand fans! |

May-29-09 A Bykhovsky vs D Oltean, 1990
| |
| TrueBlue: a "little" hard for a Friday. I can't even see the win in the final position. Someone like me needs to go as far: 24. Bxh6 gxh6 25. Rd6 Nbd7 26.Qg6+ Kh8 27. Qxh6+ Nh7 28. Rg3 f5 29. Re6 Qf7 30. Reg6 c4 31. Rg7 Nf6 32. Rxf7 Rfxf7 to see a win, or 9 moves ahead. I think you need to ... |

Mar-06-09 Tal vs Timman, 1972
| |
| TrueBlue: got all played moves relative fast (I am pretty sure I have seen similar stuff). I felt this was the solution. Funny thing is that I still don't see how white should proceed after move 20 :) White has the initiative, but black has more material. I think this will make a good puzzle |

Feb-25-09 Topalov - Kamsky Candidates Final (2009)
| |
| TrueBlue: Kamsky is a marginal player. It will be the upset of the century if he wins. They are just players in different leagues. |
