Maatalkko has kibitzed 1478 times to chessgames   [more...]

May-22-13 S Reinhardt vs C Schwarz, 1999   Maatalkko: In this position, I played 6...Be6. Is that sound?      May-22-13 Borislav Ivanov    Maatalkko: I assumed that this guy would disappear. It is extremely distressing that he continues to cheat in competitive events and has found a way to do this in Rapid as well. He must be banned.      May-20-13 Wesley So    Maatalkko: Where do you watch the game?      May-16-13 Magnus Carlsen    Maatalkko: You guys are n00bs.      May-10-13 Norway Chess Tournament (2013)    Maatalkko: The World Champion wins one game and chess fans are going bananas. I think that says a lot in itself.      May-07-13 J L Hammer vs Carlsen, 2013    Maatalkko: Pet peeve of mine that Chessbase calls this is called a "sac" when Black is getting the Queen back four ply later through a forced sequence with two pawns interest. It's a nice tactic, but not really a sac.      Apr-29-13 Alekhine Memorial (2013)    Maatalkko: <Everett: I did glean a few things from our interaction, though, mostly that by looking at the numbers, it is clear that only Kasparov and Karpov had really dominant performances for extended periods of time as champion. Most of the others were just happy to be there, and were ...      Apr-29-13 Team White vs Team Black, 2013     Apr-25-13 Svidler vs M Vachier-Lagrave, 2013    Maatalkko: Great game by MVL. Just noting two things. 1) All four games between MVL and Svidler have been won by Black, with a standard and a blitz win for each player 2) This was Svidler's 27th game in 41 days, since the start of the Candidates. He needs a break.      Apr-25-13 Kramnik vs Fressinet, 2013    Maatalkko: <Eyal> Your lines are good. Of course 12. Nd4 is way better, should have seen that. I should get back to work.
