Mar-29-16 | | suenteus po 147: Just want to give a shout out to Gustafsson for his excellent post-game analysis. I recently saw him comment on Nakamura's win over Anand in this game Nakamura vs Anand, 2016 and I found it highly instructive. I could follow his analysis clearly and he was consistent about pointing out theory and explaining why Anand was making the moves he was in the game despite how disastrous it would turn out for him concretely on the board. He was also clear and concrete about Nakamura's preparation and how he built it on Anand's regularity in this opening system, trapping Anand in his own prep as it were. Really fascinating and insightful. |

 | | tamar: I don't know if Jan ever visits this page. He is probably coming off his 20 cups of coffee addiction right about now. But I too found his the best and eerily correct analysis of the Candidates. |

 | | FSR: ♫♪♫ Back when the West was very Jan, There lived a man named Gustafsson,
He loved to snack upon a pawn,
A greedy man, this Gustafsson. ♫♪♫ |

Apr-17-17 | | Dionysius1: Does anyone know why Jan seems to have stopped doing Banter Blitz? For more than a year it has been appearing on YouTube every few days but there's been nothing new for 3 weeks or so! |
|
Apr-17-17 | | whiteshark: <Dionysius1> No worries! End of March he played a 3 days a` 8 hours/day Banther(mara)thon together with Loek van Wely and Lawrence Trent and from April 8-16, 2017 he played the 17th Bangkok Chess Club Open. In between some holiday on Thai beaches me thinks. From Wednesday on he will commentate the Grenke Classics together with Peter Leko. |
|
Apr-18-17 | | Dionysius1: Phew - thanks <whiteshark>! I'd miss Jan if he stopped. Although I find that if I gorge on his YouTube banters I get sick of his facetiousness. Great in measured doses though - and always makes me feel I understand more about chess. If only I could remember everything he says when I come to play. |

Sep-13-17 | | Helios727: Has Jan ever lost or drawn any of his banter blitz games? |
|
Sep-22-17 | | Helios727: Never mind. I found a video where he suffers and loss and a draw in banter blitz. |

Jul-01-18 | | jith1207: Thank you |
|
Jan-11-19 | | jith1207: LOL, the bio previously said Jan Gustafsson is co-founder of chessgames. Now I see it has been corrected, this makes sense. This is the reason I had previously asked his username here, I thought he's a frequent commentator here. But equating him to <jbc> is an insult though. |

 | | FSR: He has just clinched at least a tie for first in the 19th Bangkok Chess Club Open. https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-t... It looks like Deep Sengupta will win, in which case the two will split 1st-2nd. Congratulations, Jan! |

Apr-16-19 | | Imran Iskandar: Congratulations to Jan for winning this year's Bangkok Open! |
|
Jun-15-19 | | whiteshark: GM Jan Gustafsson describes chess as an ongoing conflict between his desire not to think and his desire not to lose. Of course he means that with a wink... |
