| maxfrank: Modestly, I might point out that my comments on the Dominguez-Topalov endgame were a little better than those reported after the game was over, on chessbase. Like me, the GM had computer assistance. This doesn't say much for me, but it does show the deterioration of analysis ... |

May-24-13 Borislav Ivanov
| |
| maxfrank: RF sweep would cover most communications channels, except for human/visual, including light based clues, I would think. Note that 12 bits would usually be more than needed, since move alternatives are typically <= 5, and comm info could be minimized, since the human cheater ... |

May-18-13 Norway Chess (2013)
| |
| maxfrank: <csmath> Anand was experimenting with the styles of the younger generation, in order to prepare for Carlsen. Not so strange. Very wise to understand that he can't be the same old Anand and keep his title. Great opportunity for him to learn, with so many strong younger ... |

May-01-13 Tukmakov vs H Schussler, 1983
| |
| maxfrank: Epilogue 29...Rf7 30RxN QxQ 31RxQ Nb6 ... Winning but goes a bit longer. 30Qh4+ might go somewhere, like ...Kg6 31Qg4+ Kh7 32Rc8. That might be best? Any clearer win? |

| maxfrank: Nietsche was amusing and brilliant, but not courageous in one way: when he was younger he let Wagner dictate changes in one of his books. Of greater relevance: he lived in a time of significant social change. Rousseau wrote nearer to the beginning of the Enlightenment, and Marx ... |

Mar-27-13 Tseshkovsky vs B Itkis, 1983
| |
| maxfrank: I chose the consistent 43Rxc7+ Kb8 44Nxd5 e.g. ...Nf3+ 45Kc1 |

Mar-21-13 Kramnik vs Aronian, 2013
| |
| maxfrank: re Wallekers: I thought that line looked promising while watching the game (without considering e6 much), but then thought that 24Qxf5 seemed better, since it didn't give up the c file. Still just an idea...but isn't your avatar Rimbaud, who worked primarily from inspiration?! I ... |

| maxfrank: <notyetagm> tnx for pointing out the interesting Gunina vs Ju Wenjun. Unusual finish with a pileup on the K and Q files. |

Feb-27-13 Anand vs Caruana, 2013
| |
| maxfrank: 14...Qc8 among Houdini candidates looks most like Caruana's style |
