Atking: 16...Na6 is a better way to ask the validity of the exchange Q for R+N 17.c5 bxc 18.dxc Nxc5 19.NxN RxB then 20...e5 |

Aug-28-25 Sinquefield Cup (2025) 
|
Atking: <please enlighten me as to how you regard these results in total as being weaker than those of Gukesh at the same age. True, Candidates and WCC weighs heavily on the scale, but otherwise?> You forget his incredible performance in the last Olympiad. For my part I don't ... |

Aug-12-25 Aronian vs D Gukesh, 2025
|
Atking: <cehertan: Move 7 for black is shocking. > This is why these young ches talents from India are so interesting. In fact not sure about 8.h3 as 8...Na5 is playable. And on 8.Qxb7 exB 9.QxN+ Bd7 the gambit has its charm 10.Qa6 Qb8! 11.b3 Bd6 12.Nf3 0-0 13.0-0 Qc7 and as soon as ... |

|
Atking: I read that Qh5 should be play latter. Not sure about that a beautiful line that engine of this site confirms is after 15.NxN QxN 16.Bd4! (NxB+ 17.axN) bxN? there is 18.Qh6!! as now on 18...e5 19.Bxe5. Of course better is 17...Bb7 yet 18.Rg4&19.Rh4 looks strong. |

Jul-06-25 SuperUnited Blitz Croatia (2025) 
|
Atking: Last year ago, it has been said that Gukesh was weak on rapid "Selection of the move too much base on calculation, not enought on intuition..." This year he won clearly the rapid section. Let's him one more year to perfect the blitz section. The World Champion is indeed only 19 years |
