swordfish has kibitzed 329 times to chessgames   [more...]

Dec-20-20 J Roos vs G Miralles, 1997    swordfish: I'm so surprised I got this - especially the way my tactics have been going lately....      Sep-03-19 Cochrane vs Saumchurn, 1856    swordfish: Yeah, after move 50 the game looks completely drawn. Modern players would probably shake hands at that point.      Mar-11-19 Rapport vs V Laznicka, 2019    swordfish: Why not 3...Ne4?      Nov-24-18 Caruana vs Carlsen, 2018    swordfish: Yes, he will be toasted and celebrated and deservedly so. A victory in the match will invite comparisons with Fischer, who also hailed from Brooklyn (although neither was born there), in terms of chess prowess, though not personality. The difficulty is, Caruana has yet to win a ...      Nov-24-18 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2018    swordfish: This looks completely drawn to me. I agree with Albion's comments above, though. The two best players in the world, both in their prime. It's very difficult to score a win at that level , absent a significant mistake. For understandable reasons, neither player wants to make that ...      May-13-18 Capablanca Memorial (Elite) (2018)    swordfish: No Dominguez Perez either.      Mar-12-18 Aronian vs Kramnik, 2018    swordfish: Wow - I don't expect to see an attack like this one at such a high level. But why would Aronian open e4 - not usually his thing - in such an important game?      Jan-29-18 A Gara vs Aronian, 2018   swordfish: Wow! Maybe the strongest pure-e5 player in the world, Aronian draws against a much lower rated opponent playing the Pirc.      Jan-01-18 Carlsen vs E Inarkiev, 2017    swordfish: I had a higher opinion of Inarkiev before this (despite his ties to what's his name). But to claim victory on one's own illegal move is really unsporting. I think the honorable act on his part would have been to resign (which would have led to the same result as took place).      Dec-26-17 Short vs P Corbin, 2006    swordfish: To my untrained eye, Short's exchange sacrifice on move 17 seems unnecessary - why not simply dxe4?
