Apr-29-15 Kasparov vs Short (Blitz) (2015) 
| |
| JamTin: If Short's comments were true, that on both days he had not been able to sleep since 2.30-3am, then we have to accept that is likely to have had some impact on his play. Not sure how Kasparov's schedule compared. I am sure Kasparov would have had a clear triumph in any case. If I was |

| JamTin: Completely disagree with the concept that TPR should be used as a tie breaker rather than tie break games. Ratings should have no place in attributing the result IMO. Fact is having played 10 games Short and Hou had the same scores. Hou had played a slightly stronger field, so what?! |

| |
| JamTin: I'm not sure what goes on with the live game feeds sometimes, but when I logged on to the tournament site yesterday it was showing Nigel as having just played 11 Qd4 attacking the rook but placing the queen en prise to the bishop! It was corrected after an anxious couple of minutes! |
