| Feb-25-12 | | waustad: Giri vs Ragger is an interesting game. It's very tactical. |
|
| Feb-25-12 | | cro777: The game Giri - Ragger is very sharp.
In the Semi Slav Meran Anish opted for a rare set-up (Morozevich's idea) and sacrificed a piece.1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. e3 e6 5. Nf3 Nbd7 6. Bd3 dxc4 7. Bxc4 b5 8. Bd3 Bb7 9. O-O a6 10. e4 c5 11. d5 Qc7 12. Bc2 O-O-O 13. Ng5 Nb6 14. a4 h6

<15. Nxf7> Giri sacrificed a piece. In the game Kozul - Predojevic at the Croatian Team Championship White retreated the knight 15.Nf3 (Kozul lost the game). |

The critical position.
Here, Giri should have played 28.Bxf4 with the idea 28...Nxa5 29.Be5 Rhe8 30.Bf6. Instead, he faltered by playing <28.Ra7?> but Ragger missed the simple 28...Nxc1 with winning chances. After <28...Kb8?> he might have lost all the advantage, for instance 29.Bb2! Rhf8 (29...Rhg8 30.g3) 30.Be2 Nd2 31.Rfa1.
Giri chose <29.Ba3?!> and after near 100 moves the game ended in a draw. 28. Ra7 Kb8 29. Ba3 Bc6 30. Bc2 Nd4 31. Ba4 Bxa4 32. Rxa4 Nc6

| Feb-26-12 | | whiteshark: Yesterday Giri-Ragger was the longest game. Today Ragger took a quick draw against Efimenko (Bremen team). Solingen (4th) vs Bremen (2nd) is also todays top team pairing. I expect some exciting fights. Another 'surprise' is Karpov playing on board 1 for Hockenhein (1st time in this season, me thinks) |

| Mar-16-12 | | whiteshark: <At 17th and 18th of March 2012 the 12th and 13th round of the Schachbundesliga will take place. <>> The eyes of all chess fans of the Schachbundesliga will focus the next weekend on the match between Werder Bremen and OSG Baden-Baden. These two teams fight for the championship in the season 2011/12. Baden-Baden is at the top of the table with one point ahead of Bremen, so the team of Northern Germany needs to win in order to preserve chances to gain the second title after 2005. Like in the last years an exciting match can be expected with both teams having only high-class grandmasters in their line-ups. http://www.schachbundesliga.de/maga... |

Efimenko : Svidler
Fressinet : Adams
McShane : Shirov
Areshchenko : Bacrot
Roiz : Naiditsch
Nyback : Nielsen

start in 15 minutes: http://bundesliga.liveschach.net/ |
|
| Mar-17-12 | | whiteshark: My local team, Bremen, lost 3.5 : 4.5 today.
At one point Eljanov and Nyback had winning positions, but both missed their opportunity in huge time trouble. When I left the venue only Adams:Fressinet were playing, Mickey was pressing on the queenside, but the game looked defendable. One hour later when I arrived at home Adams has a winning advantage. :( |
|
| Mar-18-12 | | whiteshark: Round 13 has begun.
Top pairing: Giri vs Anand |
|
| Mar-18-12 | | whiteshark: and above mentioned game made it as 1st draw of the Day. |
|
| Mar-18-12 | | shivasuri4: Svidler has drawn quickly too.It's upto the lower boards to deliver the win for Baden Baden now. |

|
| Apr-14-12 | | whiteshark: Tiviakov is playing against Anand.
White is pressing on d6, I guess he'll advance his queenside majority in the near future |
|
| Apr-14-12 | | whiteshark: MVL lost against Ragger. |
|
| Apr-14-12 | | whiteshark: Anand lost!!! |
|
| Apr-14-12 | | acirce: Am I wrong or was that a fairly terrible game by Vishy? |
|
| Apr-14-12 | | notyetagm: Bundesliga (2011)
<acirce: Am I wrong or was that a fairly terrible game by Vishy?> If Anand plays like that in Moscow, we're going to have a new World Champion. :-( I just don't buy that anti-Sicilian play by Black, with ... e7-e5, making all those permanent weakness on the d-file. Tiviakov made it look like a forced win. [Event "Schachbundesliga 2011/2012"]

| Apr-15-12 | | lost in space: Nice game! Typical stranglehold after the horror move 7...e5
click for larger viewPosition after 36. Rg6. White is completely helpless....and Anand will play better during the WC. |
|
| Apr-15-12 | | waustad: Anand won today and his team Baden-Baden seems to have won the whole thing after beating Hockenheim 7-1. All of their games have been played. There are only a few games unfinished and all teams have played all opponents so this seems to be the end of the season. |
|
| Apr-18-12 | | Calar: Baden-Baden won Bundesliga with 13 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Interesting to note, their top boards didn't do much (Anand 2/4, Svidler 2.5/5, Shirov 3.5/6), their success was mostly due to excellent results from other players - Naiditsch 11/15, Kasimdzhanov 7.5/10, Nisipeanu and Gustafsson 6.5/8...
