If I know well the alphabet, after a goes b then c. Therefore I support Sutovsky's opinion and think that jumping over punishments was quite irresponsible. (...)> So true.
I just don't understand why the arbitrer didn't realise that for such a ... |

Feb-23-15 FIDE Grand Prix Tbilisi (2015)
| |
| vanytchouck: The Karpov vs Kasparov is a kind of "easier" as white have 2 knights so black only have to sacrifice the rook against one of them to secure the draw. MVL doesn't have this option. |

| vanytchouck: Good win of Naka against Adams who seems a little bit out of this league even if he managed to beat Caruana (who suffers a lot to confirms his new status). |

| vanytchouck: < DrLecter: It's good that Anand lost game#2, he can now regroup faster and has a better idea of Carlsen's strategy and skills. Unlike last time, where he lost in between, and then played passively, not trying 1. d4 which would have boosted his chances, this time his body ... |

Nov-02-14 Morozevich vs S Chekhov, 2014

| vanytchouck: I've failed to see why this puzzle is a sunday one ... I mean, i've spotted 40. Txc6 to 43. g6 so quickly that i thought it can't be true. So i've spent most of the time to see if there was something for the black with moves like Qf3 etc. |
