cade has kibitzed 1109 times to chessgames   [more...]

May-27-24 J B Willow vs Adams, 2024   cade: Willow looked too keen to try and trade off to the endgame, critically weakening his kingside pawn structure in the process. Adams takes advantage with a straightforward mating attack on the marooned white King.      May-27-24 Nakamura vs Carlsen, 2024   cade: All started to go wrong for Nakamura once he exchanged his light squared Bishop and consequently got bullied on the light squared diagonals.      Jul-15-23 G Meins vs Adams, 2023   cade: After 21...Nc5 black is in a very strong position as his pieces are far better co-ordinated. I feel like 22...Rd6 gave White a tempo and immediately let them back into the game. After that White exchanging Queens was a blunder because of how it trapped the white Knight positionally. ...      Jul-25-22 B Rabar vs E Paoli, 1953    cade: Looked at the puzzle and assumed White to move! A fairly interesting angle too although nothing quite as decisive as Blacks move.      Jun-07-22 Unzicker vs Tal, 1975    cade: 32. c4 also wins a piece I think but leaves the Queens on the board      Nov-07-21 Russian Championship Superfinal (2021)    cade: Esipenko only goes beyond move 42 once in 11 games and has a full set of draws. Next top rated Russian for sure!      Apr-25-21 Ding Liren vs Grischuk, 2021    cade: What was the idea behind Grischuk sacrificing his kingside Pawn structure beginning with 44...f6?      Apr-03-20 Efimov vs Bronstein, 1941    cade: I think the natural progression is to look at Ng3+ first, find that the bishop on c4 blocks the winning tactic and then extrapolate the winning move from there.      Nov-21-18 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2018    cade: I think Black has a definite plus here. 1P vs 3P on the Queen side is the most significant thing about this position.      Nov-15-18 Caruana vs Carlsen, 2018    cade: How is Caruana going to force Carlsen's King back? If Carlsen parks his King on b5 there is nothing Caruana can do about it without messing up his position even more. Leaving the Black b-Pawn at home makes it harder for Caruana to consolidate the position.
