I am Eivind Fonn
23 years old (as of september 2008), living in Trondheim, Norway, where I study mathematics.
I am primarily a correspondence chess player. I do play some non-blitz (e.g. 15-30 minutes) OTB games every now and then, but my level of play is significantly lower.
In the grand scheme of things, my style of play probably comes out as "positionally aggressive". Most often, I play with the endgame in mind. I really like endgames with minor pieces and pawns (I guess you could say that's my specialty), so I have an overtendency to exchange major pieces sometimes.
On the whole, when I play "live" games OTB I will adopt a much more careful, positional, quiet endgame-oriented style than if I play slower correspondence games.

If I'm to name one game that's really _me_, it'll have to be this one, where I'm black:

Jan-18-15 Jobava vs Carlsen, 2015

TheBB: There's a video with Capablanca speaking on Youtube, however. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuy...

Nov-24-14 Carlsen - Anand World Championship Match (2014)

TheBB: <In a way, Carlsen's e4 is not really different than Adam's take on it for years. It's like Karpov playing Adam's opening rep.> Adams was providing prep for Carlsen, actually.

Nov-23-14 Carlsen vs Anand, 2014

TheBB: <I know this technically an endgame since the queens are off> Err, what? Never heard this notion. Queenless middlegames aren't that rare.

Apr-30-14 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2014

TheBB: <Houdini says that White is <slightly better> despite having an extra pawn.> “Despite” having an extra pawn?

Apr-22-14 Gashimov Memorial (2014)

TheBB: God, I love Svidler.

Mar-23-14 World Championship Candidates (2014)

TheBB: I would like to see someone other than Anand challenge Carlsen, but that would be hard to justify judging from the games here.

Mar-22-14 Topalov vs Mamedyarov, 2014

TheBB: <chessdgc2> It was Aronian-Anand of course. CG.com always show the leader(s). You can see the result on the tournament page, it was a draw.

Mar-22-14 Aronian vs Anand, 2014

TheBB: Trent, that is. Presumably not Andreikin.

Mar-21-14 Svidler vs Anand, 2014

TheBB: <chessdgc2> I would suggest numbering your variations properly. I would hate to look back at this game a year in the future and see all the comments being about move 1.

Feb-05-14 Zurich Chess Challenge (2014)

TheBB: <devere> Yep, the WC cycles are supposed (or at least intended) to run over two year periods, the last couple of years being exceptions ultimately traceable back to 2006.
