| UrVileWedge: I have to admit, I don't see the point of maneuvering the knight to d8. Does anyone know what's that all about? |

Dec-07-21 Nepomniachtchi vs Carlsen, 2021
| |
| UrVileWedge: <Can Black just play ...Nb4xa2? Can't be that simple?> Very dangerous. You need both Rook and Queen to hold the knight at all, and the knight is pinned far away from any other supporting piece to reinforce it. Something as simple and immediate as Nc1 looks like it can win ... |

| |
| UrVileWedge: < Perhaps this is a good time to remember that, in the Candidates matches that gave him the right to challenge Spassky, Fischer had ZERO draws and ZERO losses. He swept three straight matches, against Taimovov, Larsen and Petrosian.>

| UrVileWedge: How long of a break between games? And how many rapid games are being played in total? |

Nov-24-18 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2018
| |
| UrVileWedge: <Geesh>I don't know if it's really an asset for Carlsen to have his pawns basically in their starting positions. It is. Pawn endgames very frequently come down to opposition and tempo counting games, where you want your king in exactly the right spot at exactly the right ... |
