| Nov-20-10 | | carelessfills: <scormus: I agree with the comment on "lacking a strategy". Seeing this for the first time and playing it over quickly, it seems to me that B's game didnt have any "shape" , as though the team voted on every move in isolation and every time try to find the most playable move.> Agree.
For the record, this was not a chessgames.com world team, so the rules and format could have been entirely different than what we are familiar with. There may have been no collaboration between the teammates at all, and just a vote. Or if there was any collaboration, it might have not been very effective and perhaps even counter-productive. Witness the recent Carlsen vs the World debacle, in which the World voted only on the the moves recommended or suggested by three other IGM's. In that game, the IGM's never got on the same page, and were suggesting moves that fit each of there own sysytems. Perhaps each had their own favorite KID line and couldn't adjust on the fly to what the others were proposing and then the world voters had some silly options to choose from. (Not to say that the exhibition wasn't good publicity - just the chess wasn't very good, except for Carlsen's play. In fact, I suspect any of the three Granmasters would have beat Carlsen and the other two in that format, as long as the voters didn't follow Carlsen blindly over the other two.) |

|
| Dec-06-10 | | chukcha96: I mean, she wasn't allowed to use software, so it makes me a little bit suspicious. |

| Dec-15-10 | | AnalyzeThis: I guess what you're trying to say is that there is no way that a GM, given a few days to make a move, can find the best move in the position? |

|
| Dec-15-10 | | sevenseaman: An excellent game, a beautiful present to chess aficionados by GM Natalia Pogonina. Have to google her as this is the first I heard about this GM. |

| Dec-18-10 | | chukcha96: <AnalyzeThis> What I'm trying to say is that it's hard to play 91% engine moves being given just <1> day to analyze the move. |

Great game by GM Pogonina, first the pressure on the queenside and then slowly repositioning the pieces for a decisive kingside attack. |

|
| Jul-04-11 | | VladimirOo: Pogonina is not a GM but a WGM, that is not the same. |
