Aug-12-14 Tromso Olympiad (2014) 
| |
| vsaluki: Layson, as I clearly stated, the pattern goes beyond the Olympiad. Regardless of what Topalov did in this one event, his direction is down. Carlsen, Caruna, Karjakin, Lagrave, So, Giri, Liren are climbing over the old guys. Rapport is only 18. When he is 21 or 22 he will also be ... |

| |

Apr-24-13 FIDE Grand Prix Zug (2013)
| |
| vsaluki: "Is Radjabovs slump some kind of record?"
Don't quite know how to put this. He slamed himself against the very top level of the sport and he broke. He's a tough guy with no ability to bend and an ego that either flies or crashes. He's not as bad as he is playing now. But he's not ... |

| vsaluki: markymarky: Right. But what if Kramnik leaves his pawn on h3 and uses the bishop to defend it. Then if he can force a swap of the g pawn for the black bishop, then he is up a bishop and a pawn and still has a chance to advance that h pawn. |

Jan-16-13 Tata Steel Group A (2013)
| |
| vsaluki: Apparently Anand has decided that it discredits the world champion to go so long without a tournament win. So now we will see the answer to the question of whether or not he has it in him to win a tournament if he completely sets his mind to it. Some people may end up feeling ... |

Jun-07-12 Tal Memorial (Blitz) (2012)
| |
| vsaluki: I'm a big Morozevich fan and a Carlsen fan, so this should be something to cheer about. But, unfortunately, I also believe that blitz means nothing. |
