Astardis has kibitzed 655 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jun-15-12 A Stefanova vs A Galliamova, 2012   Astardis: What happens after Rd5?      Nov-10-11 European Team Championship (Women) (2011)    Astardis: Some big names missing here... Cramling, Chiburdanidze, Galliamova, Arakhamia-Grant...      Nov-07-11 Korchnoi vs D Zagorskis, 2011   Astardis: Oh and I don't think Korchnoi looks all that bad. He's over 80. How many people on this planet are fit enough to play on board 2 of their national chess team?      May-14-11 World Championship Candidates (2011)    Astardis: Gelfand preparing a counter-attack?      May-14-11 N Zhukova vs A Galliamova, 2011   Astardis: Talk about Zugzwang...      May-08-11 Gelfand vs Mamedyarov, 2011    Astardis: Maybe he just had enough trust in Gelfand's ability to hold this position. Frankly, it looks un-losable for White. But hey, I just took a quick look at the final position without doing any analysis.      Sep-24-10 A Galliamova vs B Khotenashvili, 2010   Astardis: Good for Alisa that she won this one. Not only did the win cure her self consciousness after that terrible round-2-defeat but it also won the match for Russia 1! By the way, it is so good to see Ms. Galliamova play in team one for Russia.      Sep-05-10 The World vs N Pogonina, 2010    Astardis: NID is my favourite opening - as black. On the white side I never play it. So my vote is Nf3 here.      Aug-16-10 Gyorgy Marx Memorial (2010)    Astardis: Gaprindashvili won the women's tournament. Quite impressive, sort of a female Korchnoi!      Jul-10-10 Sofia Polgar    Astardis: She's again listed as an active player in the 2010 rating list. Apparently she played 5 rated games in the Israeli National league. She even played (and beat)Mikhail Botvinnik :)
