GMNick has kibitzed 73 times to chessgames   [more...]

Nov-13-09 Battle of the Brains 3, 2009    GMNick: I think it will be easier to find a great novelty in a sicilian, or against d4 in a Slav or Grunfeld. White usually has an easier game after ...Nf6 or ...d5 against e4.      Jul-13-09 Vachier-Lagrave vs P San Segundo Carrillo, 2009    GMNick: <drmariogodrob> you have forgotten about Julio Ernesto Granda Zuniga      Jul-04-09 D Rensch vs Shabalov, 2009    GMNick: Not too shabby! *cough*      Jul-04-09 Carlsen vs Kramnik, 2009    GMNick: The big question will be: "Which will Carlsen prefer? Trying to crack the Slav or the Petroff?"      Jul-03-09 Leko vs Carlsen, 2009    GMNick: Carlsen is usually very calm in the early rounds, and will try to put pressure on Leko. If Carlsen is able to gain the advantage, he will push for a win.      Jun-18-09 Capablanca Memorial (Elite) (2009)    GMNick: Sorry, now I look back at the Bosnia tournament, this one is MORE boring.      Jun-17-09 A Hahn vs R Kaufman, 2000    GMNick: Classic removal of the defender. The black queen must cover f7.      Jun-16-09 G Meier vs B Savchenko, 2009    GMNick: This tournament is a perfect example of why the Sofia rules were introduced      Jun-16-09 Ivanchuk vs Gelfand, 2009   GMNick: Did Ivanchuk forget to play 5 d4?      Jun-16-09 M Rychagov vs R Slobodjan, 1999    GMNick: White wins a piece with 31. Rxc6. If 31...Rxc6 32. Ne7+, when black cannot capture the white knight because of back rank mate after 33. Rd8+...Re8 34. Rxe8 mate
