pajaste: The only game that starts closely like this in this database is Rybka vs Gull, 2016 it's an expansion to the literature, h5-Rossolimo (colors and moves reversed though) |

Apr-30-20 Carlsen vs Nepomniachtchi, 2020
|
pajaste: This is about my thought process...
1.d4 ... Ah, ok, invitation to play the QGD, QGA, Tarrasch, or some move orderly 1...Nf6 ... Indian game, be it Nimzo, QID, KID, Old Indian 2.Bf4 ... Or London System, allowing some specific QGD, Slav, Semi-Slav, 2...c5 ... this is some high ... |

Mar-26-20 World Championship Candidates (2020) 
|
pajaste: So the tournament was interrupted. Now what to watch? A friend asked a question that could be discussed here. What would be required for this tournament to be online? Brutally secure (128-bit encryption should do?) connections of course but what else? |

Feb-16-20 I Krush vs C Yip, 2020 
|
pajaste: Tried to surprise the youngster, my guess. If white gets e5 in early, black faces endless misery. |

Nov-07-19 Grischuk vs Wojtaszek, 2019
|
pajaste: It might be fun to analyse these way more than the bit the site gives out. 1) =0.00 (21 ply) 15...axb5 16.axb5 Be6 17.Qc2 Re8 18.Nb3 Nb4 19.Qc3 Nd5 20.Qc2 I guess a couple of pages of computer analysis would convince most this is a drawish line. |
