Poulsen has kibitzed 581 times to chessgames   [more...]

May-01-13 Magnus Carlsen    Poulsen: <ikipemiko><The only thing which he has not been - is the clasical (usually the more important one) champion - the Shteniz line> Kramnik may have called himself "classical WCH", but that has absolute nothing to do with the Steinitz-line. The Steinitz-line died with ...      May-01-13 Veselin Topalov    Poulsen: Topalov may be on the way to better form - after a slump - but claiming him better at 2005-level than Carlsen at present level can only be bulgarian wishthinking. However we all know that in matches tournamentrating does not say a lot about chances - and Carlsen is yet to be tested ...      Apr-02-13 Koltanowski vs Day, 1960   Poulsen: ... also 4.-,Ng4 threatens 5.-,Nf6 - which is a nice position for that piece - and if white does not "see" the right continuation he might lose a pawn. In other words 3.-,Nh6 was a very clever diversion intended to blind the blind ;)      Feb-26-13 Boleslavsky vs Fine, 1945    Poulsen: Perhaps it should be noted, that the 37.-,a4 (instead of 37.-,c5) with the idea 38.bxa4,Nc3 does not help blacks defense - since black does not have time to take on a2 - and since the pawnstructure c6/c7 prevents black from creating an effektive queenside defense. This was the main ...      Feb-14-13 Mongredien vs V Green, 1862    Poulsen: <A.G.Argent>< The only recourse Mongredien would have had was to throw his Queen under the bus with 21.Qf2 Bxf2. Whatever.> Hmm, actually after 19.-,Nxh2 20.Rxh2,Qxh2 white can play 21.Ne4 leaving e2 as an escape route for the king. Its still hopeless off course, but ...      Feb-13-13 Larsen vs Timman, 1977   Poulsen: Interesting game - counterattack upon counterattack - creating a very complex game true to the style of both players. I haven't looked - but there is bound to be improvements somewhere .....      Feb-13-13 Howard Staunton    Poulsen: Actually Staunton was a very strong player at his best - maybe the strongest in world (but not uncontested). Morphy would have had a hard time beating him, when he was at his best (roughly 15 years before Morphy came to Europe). Morphy was arguable the best in world at his time, but      Jan-17-13 Aronian vs Anand, 2013    Poulsen: If somebody was beginning to think, that Anand is "over-the-hill", this should prove them wrong. Still - he might not be favorite at the next Wch-match ...      Dec-18-12 Jose Raul Capablanca    Poulsen: Well, to be precise none of them lived 54 years - Capa died at age 53 years and almost 4 month, Aljechin at age 53 years and almost 5 month. But there is absolutely nothing suspicious about the death of either of them - in Aljechins case though the cause of death had to be ...      Dec-07-12 E Maggiolo vs Zhu Chen, 2001   Poulsen: I would think, that white played 20.Rad1 - not 20.Rb1.
