Dec-29-07 Russian Championship Superfinal (2007) 
| |
| Atkins: 32.Kg1 for Rychagov (hxg h3 nxB h2 Rh1 b1=Q RxQ h1=Q RxR I prefer the R) |

Dec-28-07 J Stevenson vs M Ferguson, 2001
| |
| Atkins: If Morozevich decide to play this opening I think most of us will learn about it more seriously. May be 17.a4!? was a possibility 17...cxd 18.cxd Ne3 19.Qd4 Nxd5 20.f5 QxBb3 21.fxBe6 fxe 22.Rb2... yeah difficult. |

Dec-28-07 Svidler vs Morozevich, 2007
| |
| Atkins: <armtwister: 16.Rg2 was a bad novelty> How you can say that? 16.Rg2 is very subtle. The main point of that move is to cover c2 but also to double the rooks on d or g files. It hides a potential Bh3 too. As I said yesterday I'm not convinced by Svidler's plan after Morozevich's ... |

Dec-27-07 Tomashevsky vs Svidler, 2007
| |
| Atkins: <JohnBoy: <Atkins>: Are you nihon-jin? > I'm not but my wife is. I live in Japan since 1986. I'm happy you enjoyed Shogi game too. This game is deep too. I have a funny story about my own experience. The first time I played this game with my father in law he didn't ... |

Dec-27-07 Morozevich vs Grischuk, 2007
| |
| Atkins: <Shajmaty: Was 11...Rfc8; 12. 0-0, bxc6 really played? Or was it 11... bxc6; 12. 0-0, Rfc8?> Me again. Yes it was. As I said yesterday in live 12.Bb5 a6 with the threat of Qxb2 is good enought for Black. 13.0-0 axB 14.Qxb5 QxQ 15.NxQ Rc2... |

Dec-26-07 Sakaev vs A Timofeev, 2007
| |
| Atkins: This game is quite embarrasing from a theorical point of view. After 12...e5! Black is still one pawn up for ghost on dark square. Even the best 15.Qc3 (15.Qe3? was here obviously refuted)I still prefer Black! |

Dec-26-07 Kasparov vs G Gonda, 1988
| |
| Atkins: <Terry McCracken: <xrt999: <Terry McCracken: Black's blunder was 32..Nd7??> how many hours do you think Gonda lay awake every night obsessing over this game?>- No idea? I'm sure it wasn't that traumatic;)> It wasn't. At time I said to him that he has at least a ... |

Dec-22-07 M Alvarez Navarro vs I Nyzhnyk, 2005
| |
| Atkins: 15.Nf5+ looks obviously better. |

Dec-18-07 Spassky vs Fischer, 1992
| |
| Atkins: <seeminor: 29. Rbf7?? is a horrible move by fischer, destroying his own great defence. 29.Qd7 was necessary to aim at g4.> The opening looks here just too bad <seeminor> On your 29...Qd7 there is 30.Nh4. The idea of Rbf7 is then after NxNh4, f3. No time for that. Spassky ... |

Dec-16-07 Kamsky vs Shirov, 2007
| |
| Atkins: Kamsky played very strongly all the World Cup. But to see Shirov coming back to his best was a pleasure too. |
