| Apr-16-12 | | Whitehat1963: And yet, somehow, Tiviakov beating Anand is not a fluke, more of a trend: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... Tiviakov even holds the only win with black between them. |

<The spectacular 38.e5‼ would have won on the spot, but fortunately for the Dutch GM, this does not squander his game. f7

| Apr-22-12 | | MarkFinan: <JohnDahl> <Why wasn't I told about this game?> !!! I think you should be asking yourself "Why should *anyone* have to tell me about this game?" Unless you're a special, special guy? ;) |

| Apr-22-12 | | JoergWalter: <qqdos: Facon de parler!> so, I think you share my opinion about <JohnDahl>? |
|
| Apr-22-12 | | MarkFinan: <JW> I definately share your opinion mate..
The guy called me thick, said i was unable to read, and also asked If I could tell the time, all because I asked when a chess game started!! I think he's best off staying out of my way from now, and annoying the hell out of others with his "Charming one-liners"... Lol |

| Jun-10-12 | | notyetagm: Tiviakov vs Anand, 2012 1-0 http://www.chessbase-shop.com/en/pr... Tiviakov rubs it in, annotating in the new Chessbase Magazine 148: <Sergei Tiviakov:
<<<"It was a very easy win for me.">>>> ---
<Sergei Tiviakov: How I defeated the world championVishy Anand's last competition before the WCh match in May did not quite look like that of a world champion. In the final round of the chess Bundesliga he was forced to concede defeat to Sergei Tiviakov with Black. Tiviakov analyses the game in which the naturalised Dutchman also turned after 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 to 3.Bb5+ and went on to deliver a model game on the subject of "the weak d5-square". <<<In doing so he picks apart the world champion's play.>>>> |
|
| Jun-11-12 | | jmi: <notyetagm:> So Tiviakov caught Anand in an offday and that's before his WCC match too. That's no different to Carlsen losing to Adams, Aronian losing to McShane, and even Kasparov losing to Radjabov. Top players are allowed to have their off-days. By the same token, I'm sure Tiviakov won't be putting the following game in CBM either nor in his Chessbase Trainer on the Scandinavian. A loss to Shirov in 26 moves in his favorite Scandinavian: Shirov vs Tiviakov, 2010 PS: I'm sure Anand is extremely upset and is losing sleep while lying in his bed of 1.5 million dollars. ;-) |

| Dec-07-12 | | dumbgai: Tiviakov's play in this game resembles Karpov's. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Like the maneuver Nf3-d2-f1-e3. Very calm play by Tiviakov, quite content to exchange vast numbers of pieces for the sake of an endgame with a greatly superior Bishop. Even if Black holds the draw, White gets to torture a World Champion for 50 or so moves. |

| Jan-09-19 | | Ironmanth: Like Tiviakov's play here! |
