May-03-12 Peter Larsen vs C Sielecki, 2011    chessarmenia: I think this draw secured Sielecki's IM norm from this tournament, though I do agree I think his opponent should have made him earn the draw.      Oct-04-10 Vachier-Lagrave vs Aronian, 2010    chessarmenia: <whiteshark> So not only did he spend no time to beat his 2700 opponent with the black pieces, he had enough time to sneak in a snack too?      Sep-15-09 Tal Memorial (2008)    chessarmenia: Yes, you're right, I just misquoted him... but semantics aside, this tournament will be incredible if all players go in with something to prove, which is not unlikely. However, equally likely is that the players will play relatively safe considering the strength of the ...      Sep-07-09 Magnus Carlsen    chessarmenia: In my opinion, this union will not last long. Either Carlsen will not improve and let go of Kasparov or Carlsen will have great success, in which case he may not want Kasparov to have any credit for having helped him get there. He may be 18 years old, but these two people have ...      Aug-20-09 FIDE Jermuk Grand Prix (2009)    chessarmenia: I hate to be blindly optimistic, but I think with Jako only having 7 min left on the clock, Aronian will pull out a win      Apr-13-09 Loek van Wely    chessarmenia: This may have been addressed before, but is his name pronounced Van Wely or Wan Vely?      Apr-09-09 V Akobian vs J L Hilton, 2009    chessarmenia: The 400 point rating difference was obvious in this game; a flawless attack by Akobian!      Feb-21-09 Topalov - Kamsky Candidates Final (2009)    chessarmenia: Kamsky is carefully chewing his meal      Oct-24-08 Najdorf vs Kotov, 1957    chessarmenia: Actually, even better than 21.Bd5!? is the forcing 21.Bc2!, which wins in all variations as mate is forced, according to Dvoretsky      Oct-22-08 European Club Cup (2008)    chessarmenia: Petrosian-Kobalia is interesting to watch because it is a win by either wins for the team. It is very interesting to see the subtle traps set by Petrosian in an otherwise drawn position, at least according to Fritz. This is in the MIKA match.
