Just a common patzer OTB rating a tick below the magical 2.000 mark. Best personal game, beating an IM in a tournament game.
Active fav. players.
Aronian, Grischuk (if proper motivated to play).
All time favorites: Tal, Kasparov.
Note: although I enjoy Tal and Kasparov my style of play looks more like Kramnik or Karpov playing (on a much , much lower level ofc., what I mean is, my play is more positional than tactical).

As much as I like watching Carlsen as one of the (potential) future World Champs, I totally do not understand his play. With Kramnik I sometimes get an idea what his play is about and I sometimes can guess his moves and ideas, but with Carlsen I am usually totally wrong and do not get his game plan at all.

May-23-13 FIDE Grand Prix Thessaloniki (2013)

Refused: Now the march of the white king to the queen side can start and there's nothing Nakamura can do about it xd Really great technique and patience shown by Grischuk to convert this.

May-23-13 Karpov vs Csom, 1977

Refused: ok, saw the motifs but missed that the Knight on f8 is attacking the Rook on d7 and thus fell for 50.Nh5? The main threat 51.Rh7+ 52.Qg7# is the same. But like I said I missed 50...Nxd7 And the big difference between 50.Nf5! and 50.Nh5? is that the Knight on h5 would block the ...

May-22-13 Topalov vs Grischuk, 2013

Refused: Down to bare kings. Nicely fought.

May-19-13 Norway Chess Tournament (2013)

Refused: I assume he meant the final round. But there the problem was more like Kramnik felt like he would need a win with the black pieces, if he had known, that Carlsen would lose his last round encounter, too. Well, woulda coulda shoulda etc. On a more topic related note. ...

May-01-13 Alekhine Memorial (2013)

Refused: <Alekhine Memorial Paris and St. Petersburg Apr 20-May 1 Gelfand beats out Kramnik, Aronian, Anand, Svidler et al. with 5/8.> :') Chessgames please fix that.

Apr-20-13 FIDE Grand Prix Zug (2013)

Refused: Kinda surprising, if it was Anand's decission to part ways with Kasimdzhanov. He is (one of) the best opening experts around, he is a great asset to any team. Just ask the German Team that captured the European Championship back then. One of the things they all can agree on is the ...

Apr-12-13 Russian Team Championships (2013)

Refused: Nice to see Grischuk having some nice results thus far in this event. 3.5/4 against Cheparinov, Morozevich, Timofeev and Vitiugov. Just shows, how insanely strong the Candidates in London really was, when Grischuk finished with -1 there.

Apr-11-13 Jobava vs Karjakin, 2013

Refused: <xanadu: I do not use computers for analyzing, but 11...f6 does not look good to me. Black has lower development, then perhaps must wait by playing Be6.> Hum from white's pawn structure it looks a bit like French-Defense to me. There f7-f6 is pretty much a standard move to ...

Apr-01-13 World Championship Candidates (2013)

Refused: And Rajabov offered his King in exchange for another Queen. :) Looks resignable for poor Teimour

Mar-29-13 Aronian vs Kramnik, 2013

Refused: <Fusilli: <Marmot PFL: < 50. g6 looks like a fairly elementary mistake. Does anyone know if Aronian was in time-trouble by this point?> He might have been, or else if he couldn't win decided that a loss and a draw were the same to him so roll the dice.> Why do you ...
