Mar-08-16 World Championship Candidates (2016)    moppa: Hey Lambda! I enjoyed your projections all the way back in London Candidates (though I'm not completely sure it was you). Since then I've studied a bit statistics - would you mind sharing a bit of your methodology? Thanks for the contribution either way!      May-25-15 Caruana vs Nakamura, 2015    moppa: Rather Interesting opening indeed! At first I was sort of disappointed because I recall reading from somewhere that the current state of Benoni and Benko is slightly dodgy - would've liked to see a fight in those structures. Now if Nakamura has his mind set in fianchetto systems, the ...      Nov-21-13 Anand - Carlsen World Championship Match (2013)    moppa: Check the computer lines on http://tcec.chessdom.com/anand-carl... and think how many humans will play such lines - i don't think -0.2 means anything here. Really interesting! Carlsen has been so convincing in this match that i have a feeling he will hold the attack and then press for      Jul-12-13 A D Martin vs J Horner, 1983    moppa: Ouch! I had 26. .Bxg2 27.Qxg2 Ne3 28. fxe3 Qc3+ 29. Kd1 Rd8+ 30. Bd3 Rxd3+ anf mates... except that the knight covers d3 :(      Jun-17-13 Tal Memorial (2013)    moppa: Do you have any idea where i could follow the games live with an old smartphone? Chessdom is too heavy for my phone.      Apr-06-13 World Championship Candidates (2013)    moppa: What I hope is that Carlsen wins Anand and then we see some other youngster bringing his game to a new level - and if we don't see that, then I hope Kramnik keeps his form for a couple of years.      Mar-18-13 Gelfand vs Carlsen, 2013    moppa: Magnus' play reminds me of what I read from Jacob Aagaards book Excelling at Positional chess - here's the quote: "the choice of moves should not be made on an exact verdict of the final position, but on whether or not your position has improved or not". It might sound - as Aagaard ...      Mar-02-13 Magnus Carlsen    moppa: Certain kibitzers might find a fitting quote from this interview of Magnus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZLp...      Feb-25-13 Anand vs Gelfand, 2013    moppa: It looks like Bxh3 is possible... Though hard to imagine that Vishy missed the possibility      Feb-17-13 Naiditsch vs Anand, 2013    moppa: <Pedro> I guess i kinda think that the f-pawn is not worth very much as it cant move.
