vraja has kibitzed 100 times to chessgames   [less...]

Jun-24-15 Norway Chess (2015)    vraja: I feel sorry for Hammer, who's getting hammered here. It isn't his mistake after all to have been born in Norway:-) It's a good opportunity for him, but sometimes can rob one's confidence, too.      Mar-31-14 World Championship Candidates (2014)    vraja: http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatime... A fantastic article on the greatness of Anand!      May-17-13 Viswanathan Anand    vraja: I can't think of a chess champion who is a disciplinarian also--someone others could follow professionally and personally. Never once has he bad mouthed others, although he could have passed free comments on everyone. Even when his citizenship was questioned, he maintained silence and      Feb-17-13 Naiditsch vs Anand, 2013    vraja: A very unusual game since Anand not only brings his queen to the center early but also sacrifices his rook for White's knight. A very enjoyable game that highlights his confidence.      Jan-15-13 Aronian vs Anand, 2013    vraja: I'm becoming a very big fan of Aronian for his sportive gesture: He was obviously frustrated and went to mention in a sportive way that he needed to study openings better... instead of putting over that it was one of Anand's vicious home preparations... No wonder he is well liked by ...      Dec-07-12 London Chess Classic (2012)    vraja: Anand seems to be too timid and unimaginative in his games since all that he gets in his games is an equal position, if not worse, with both white and black. I'm sad for Gelfand now. He should have beaten him. I wonder why he didn't take the pawn and instead went to protect his b ...      Sep-26-12 Caruana vs Anand, 2012    vraja: It doesn't matter :-) Being an ardent fan of Anand, I've been disappointmented bigtime since he is mostly the one to give perpetuals or to fight for a survival. Perhaps, the title is weighing him down.      May-11-12 Anand - Gelfand World Championship Match (2012)    vraja: It was nice to see both Anand and Gelfand analyzing the game together after agreeing to a draw: Tomorrow, I hope Gelfand throws in everything he has in his arsenal to outwit Anand. The commentary was also revolving around Anand's not-so-great recent performances: Short hit the nail in      Dec-11-11 London Chess Classic (2011)    vraja: All much-awaited Anand games have ended in dull draws. The tournament might have been more interesting had Topa participated instead of Anand--at least he would have fought till the very end for a result. Flamboyance in Anand is really missing.      Nov-24-11 Tal Memorial (2011)    vraja: as usual, the quickest to make a draw. If not motivated, he shouldn't play since millions of fans expect something from a WC... Very disappointed.      Jun-05-11 XXIV Magistral de Ajedrez Ciudad de Leon (2011)     Oct-11-10 Grand Slam Chess Final (2010)     May-20-10 Anand - Topalov World Championship Match (2010)     Apr-05-09 Rubinstein vs G Bartoszkiewicz, 1897     Apr-05-09 Rubinstein vs Yates, 1912    Apr-05-09 Rubinstein vs Yates, 1930     Nov-13-08 Akiba Rubinstein     Oct-29-08 Anand - Kramnik World Championship Match (2008)     Oct-26-08 Rubinstein vs V Kulomzin, 1903     Jun-21-08 Tal vs Botvinnik, 1966     Feb-18-08 Carlsen vs Anand, 2008     Jan-19-08 Robert James Fischer     Sep-29-07 World Championship Tournament (2007)     Sep-13-07 S Bartha vs G Kluger, 1979     Sep-11-07 N Gurieli vs N Lakos, 1999     Oct-21-06 Rubinstein vs Maroczy, 1922     Jan-19-06 Corus Group A (2006)     Dec-15-05 E Chukaev vs Tal, 1956     Dec-02-05 Capablanca vs M Romi, 1938    Sep-26-05 Bronstein vs L Roos, 1995    Sep-26-05 Alekhine vs Poindle, 1936     Jul-26-05 A Nimzowitsch vs A Hakansson, 1922     Jul-09-05 D Byrne vs Fischer, 1956     Jun-28-05 Anand vs Chess Genius, 1994
