doublemint has kibitzed 220 times to chessgames   [more...]

Aug-30-15 Carlsen vs Grischuk, 2015    doublemint: Magnus needs to come up with a good move, if he doesn't play c4 it seems... black is well positioned and solid for the middle game... maybe g3 or Qb4 or a4 may be an offbeat way to go here that he can understand ...      Apr-08-15 Sevian vs Nakamura, 2015    doublemint: It's a draw, but those off color bishops are still potentially dangerous to the kings. (exactly)! Opposite color bishops favor the attacker if an attack can gain steam.      Sep-02-13 D Andreikin vs Kramnik, 2013    doublemint: Nigel Short suggested e5 Nxe5 then g4...hmmm      Aug-31-13 D Andreikin vs Kramnik, 2013    doublemint: I think Andrekin has chances because if he can create pawn difficulties on both sides of the board the B is much better than the N and he may be able to win a very technically accurate ending... but probably draw.      Aug-18-13 Tomashevsky vs Aronian, 2013    doublemint: Qh6 might work... if Qf7+ Kh8 d7 c2...      Aug-17-13 Aronian vs Tomashevsky, 2013    doublemint: white's overpushed static pawns have bit him and black's active king just infiltrated right around them. Black just has too much activity and white doesn't have any good moves..this will end soon.      Jun-02-13 Topalov vs Caruana, 2013    doublemint: a2 rxa2 rxa2 re8 (either ra8 or Qxe8) and the beat goes on.. but white has finally got 3 pawns for the piece and eliminated the dangerous a pawn... So.. probably not a2 here ... Hmm... Maybe Kh7 here to threaten to free the g7 rook to give check. If that then R2xe4 pxe4 ...      May-30-13 Kamsky vs Nakamura, 2013    doublemint: good morning. looks like I missed a good game. both A pawns go and white wins? ya.. that's it..      May-29-13 Bacrot vs Dominguez Perez, 2013    doublemint: best choice by LD but still Kg2! Nf6 Ne7 and zugzwang again.. (eg Kh4 Nxd5 and white must be winning.)      May-29-13 Morozevich vs Caruana, 2013    doublemint: Black could have taken the a pawn instead of the e pawn after the queen fell and his game would be much easier to win.. here there is actually some hope for perpetual.. Black has to massage tempos to push the pawn at least one more square first so the knight can't catch it , then
