Dec-10-21 Nepomniachtchi vs Carlsen, 2021    theagenbiteofinwit: Turns it it was right to not compare this to Kasparov Short. Short won a game in that match.      Dec-10-20 NN vs F Rhine, 2020    theagenbiteofinwit: A very hard lesson in neglecting one's development for the primrose path. 3.Nc3 or 4.Nc3 safeguards against black's ill intentions, but I like 3.Bg5 where black's only trick is to decide whether they prefer a vacant f7 square, a pinned knight on e7 or a poorly-placed ...      Dec-10-20 Kibitzer's Café    theagenbiteofinwit: <the usa cocktail will probably kill even more people, i advised against taking united statesian snake oil. german vaccine remains tried and true, everything else is lemonade.> I unironically say that this is the most American statement about vaccines I've ever ...      Jul-23-20 Legends of Chess (2020)    theagenbiteofinwit: <The Henriquez dude grinningly scored a point in a technically completely drawn position (unless you lose half of your brain) and seemed to think that's perfectly A-okay. Do you really think the same?> The position on the board has nothing to do with the position on      Jul-22-20 Nepomniachtchi vs Kramnik, 2020   theagenbiteofinwit: <savage sanctuary: A match between two Russians isn't what it used to be anymore. Very dreadful game by a player of Nepo's calibre but still managed to defeat the retired lion in their series> Do you think the problem might be nerves? The only explanation I can ...      Jun-18-20 Chessable Masters (2020)    theagenbiteofinwit: <I posted my last 2 posts on the wrong page and I can no longer delete them so please ignore them. Sorry.> I appreciate the humor in your penultimate post then.      Apr-29-20 Smyslov vs Tal, 1959    theagenbiteofinwit: <wordfunph> The actual source is from Tal's collection "The Life and Games of Mikhail Tal, which is better than anything that the cut and paste swindler you cite ever produced in his life.      Apr-16-20 Kenneth Rogoff    theagenbiteofinwit: <I'm a flexible person. We can nuke Beijing and keep Shanghai. But of course the USA isn't planning to nuke anyone. I was just metaphorically indicating my extreme displeasure with the at-best criminally neligent government of China.> That ship sailed around the ...      Apr-15-20 Magnus Carlsen Invitational (2020)    theagenbiteofinwit: <The term 'single round-robin' is a little clumsy in this context, because it normally denotes a single game, wherein here it denotes a single mini-match.> I imagine a lonely, obese bird.      Apr-10-20 Fischer vs Matulovic, 1970    theagenbiteofinwit: Very interesting Fischer's use of time here. Fischer notes that he might have had a faster win, but felt he didn't have time to calculate it. This is on move 24 with 3/5ths time left on his clock.
