Archswindler: Has Ulhumbrus got round to rejecting the Najdorf yet? Surely the grave error of 5...a6 can't have escaped his attention.

Archswindler: <Ulhumbrus: Black has disturbed his king side pawns by the pawn advance ...h6 whereas White's queen side pawns are still intact.> Which means precisely nothing.

Archswindler: <Ulhumbrus:
An alternative to 12 a3 is 12 d5 with a4 to follow
An alternative to 14 Rad4 is 14 Nxf4 with Nf5 to follow> Breaking news - some positions contain more than one legal move.

Archswindler: <Ulhumbrus>
9. Qd3?? is complete rubbish and is met by 9... Ne5 10. Qe2 Bxc3 11. bxc3 Nxe4 and white has lost a pawn and his position is a mess. Note that 12. Bf4 is met by 12... Nd3+.

Archswindler: <MostlyWatch: If this is taboo, forgive me because I'm new here, but I don't understand, chrisowen, what you write. Are you crazy or are you writing in code? Anyone?> I'm guessing crazy. Sane people post gibberish on occasion, but I think you have to be quite special to ...

Archswindler: <ughaibu: I guess 33...dxc5, 34.Qe5 Kd8, 35.d6 is pretty hopeless for black, but how about 33...bxc5, 34.Rb8 Qb8, 35.Rb8 Rb8?> 33... bxc5 34.Rxc5+!

Archswindler: <BadKnight: how many of you think that giving draw odds to the champion is historically one of the most unfair of all customs imaginable?> Not me. The Champion already holds the title. The onus is on the challenger to wrest the title from him. In chess, a draw is a ...

| | Apr-03-13 Aronian vs Radjabov, 2013
| |
|
Archswindler: <perfidious> That game does in fact contain a typically inane Ulhumbrus comment. It's becoming increasingly hard to find a game that doesn't. You would think someone who has evidently studied so many master games might actually have learned something by now, but no. 100+ ...

Archswindler: <RookFile> Ulhumbrus hates all pawn moves in the opening. Especially a3.

| | Mar-29-13 Aronian vs Kramnik, 2013
| |
|
Archswindler: <Fusilli> It's a pawn race with little material on the board, so a player at Aronian's level should really be able to calculate all the way through to the end. Of course, grandmasters have made worse mistakes under less pressure.
