Taxman has kibitzed 76 times to chessgames   [more...]

Sep-24-22 Carlsen vs Niemann, 2022    Taxman: 11....e5 seems to equalise, but Black's moves up to that point were nothing special and could even have been played in a blitz game.      Jun-21-20 Harikrishna vs Carlsen, 2020    Taxman: 17...Nb8!? Remarkable move!      Oct-20-19 Nakamura vs Aronian, 2019    Taxman: OK, so what happens if 26.axb5 Rxb5 26.c4 Rc5 27.cxd5 Rxd5 28.Rxd5 Rxd5....? My initial reaction is that White may be in trouble as his king is so far away and Black's outside passed a-pawn looks dangerous.      Oct-19-19 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2019    Taxman: Ideas like 19….Bxc3+ 20. Kxc3 Qa3+ are in the air. I'm not saying it works in this exact position but it's the kind of possibility that both players will be looking at.      Oct-14-19 McShane vs Caruana, 2019    Taxman: Looking at 54.Rh6+      Oct-13-19 Caruana vs H Wang, 2019    Taxman: My initial impression is that the white pawn on d4 is a serious weakness.      Oct-12-19 Shirov vs Caruana, 2019    Taxman: doesn't work: 55...Kh6 56.Qh3+ Qh5 57.Qe3+ Rg5. Worth checking though.      Oct-10-19 Carlsen vs Kuzubov, 2019    Taxman: I'm looking at Black playing ...c4 - c3!?      Aug-27-19 Nepomniachtchi vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2019    Taxman: En tout cas, je pense que le joueur francais va remporter cette partie assez facilement...      Aug-20-19 Anand vs So, 2019    Taxman: A random line I'm looking at here is: 25.g3 R x f1+ 26.Kxf1 Qb1+ 27.Kg2 Qe4+ 28.Qxe4 f x e4 29. N x d6 c x d6 30.f3 e x f3 31.K x f3 Kg6 32.Ke4 Kf6 33.Kd5 Ke7 34.Kc6 followed by 35.d5, with a winning pawn ending..?!? Probably not best play though.....
