boo1: <Isbjorn: BTW, Nakamura reminds of Carlsen 1-2 years ago. Carlsen used to play aggressively and try to go for initiative against anyone. Now he has solidified his play a bit more, drawing more often and losing more rarely. I wonder if Nakamura's playing style will following the same |

Mar-05-09 Magnus Carlsen 
|
boo1: Hehe! Haven't been in here for a while. I see the slomarko vs "the rest" war is still going strong :-) I usually watch Linares games on FICS, where slomarko also happens to be sometimes. Note: On FICS kibitzers rarely use engines and post evals, and comments are assumed to be made ... |

boo1: <Tabanus: 23.Bb3 Rh5!?
24.Qe3 d5 25.e5 Nd7 <26.f4> must be best, for example 26...Nc5 27.Bc2 g6 28.Bd3 Kg7 29.a3 and black is running out of waiting moves (b5 must be covered), 29...Qc7 30.Bc2 Qb6 31.Red2 etc. (31...Qc7 32.g4!)> Why 28...Kg7

Nov-16-08 K Lie vs X Bu, 2008 
|
boo1: This game is the main reason why Lie has a 3242 rp after three games. He's known for his unorthodox style, and it worked to perfection in this game. |

Nov-03-08 A Nickel vs The World, 2008 
|
boo1: To me, the game so far has similarities to our last game against GMT. In that game black's extended pawns gave him severe trouble in the long run, although he probably could have saved the game with correct play. I fear we've already reached a position where winning will be extremely ... |

Jun-16-08 The World vs G Timmerman, 2007 
|
boo1: <Speaking of GUIs, I put a link in <RV>'s forum pointing to a review of the upcoming Rybka Aquarium (Rybka 3.0 GUI) with emphasis on the analysis mode.> Keep in mind that it's written by convecta, the makers of the Rybka GUI. Not a proper review in other words. But it does ... |

Mar-25-08 Amber Tournament (Rapid) (2008)

boo1: Sadly, it looks like the blindfold loss has put Magnus "on tilt", as they say in poker. |

Mar-24-08 Carlsen vs Mamedyarov, 2008 
|
boo1: After 22.Qd3 the game is over. 25...Bxf3+ is forced. 27...Rxg3+ isn't forced, but Mame is dead lost already, and going for the perpetual was probably best in practice. |
