circleVIII has kibitzed 13 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jan-08-18 Carlsen vs Nakamura, 2018    circleVIII: <ChessHigherCat> as far as your line goes 22. b6 Rxc3 23. b7 Nc6 24. Re4 and I believe white is just crushing black. So 23... Rxc2 29. b8=Q Rxb8 30. Rxb8+ Kf7 31. Be3 Qxd3 looks pretty good for black. I don't think 23. b7 is the correct continuation.      Jan-07-18 Carlsen vs Anand, 2017    circleVIII: <ChessHigherCat> it is obvious to me and I am only rated about 2000. This was a rapid game, not blitz, however. If you want to see a game where some real calculation is required check this one out: < Ponomariov vs I Sokolov, 2007 > It's almost comical to see both ...      Jan-06-18 Alekhine vs Euwe, 1935    circleVIII: 36. Ng6? made me sad. Lines with 36. Qxa7 are so much more delectable.      Jan-05-18 Bogoljubov vs Alekhine, 1929   circleVIII: I would have loved 8... d5 if the bloody knight wasn't on c5 but I agree with you <WorstPlayerEver> that d6 is a fine move. 8... a5?? is really a head scratcher.      Jan-04-18 Bogoljubov vs Alekhine, 1929    circleVIII: Like lambs to the slaughter.      Jan-02-18 Lasker vs Tarrasch, 1908    circleVIII: Great game. Cannot help but notice the endgame after move 8. Ne2 looks like an inferior Berlin endgame for white, but after only 13 more moves black has misplayed and it already seems quite favourable. After 21... Re8 white has managed (or been given) the exchange of dark squared
