Sep-19-18 Grischuk vs Mamedyarov, 2018 
|
goommba88: People love sharp openings, but at this level they just end up petering out into draws more often than not.
the 3fold rep. rule is not going anywhere, either learn to live with it or stop watching chess. |

Jan-27-16 P Mangroelal vs G Solis, 2008
|
goommba88: this is a reason y 1.Nc3 is not very popular OVB in games above 2300 elo.
I play 1.Nc3 quite a bit but dont particulary like the 1.Nc3 d5 2.e4 d4
3.NCE2 lines much. I will usually just
settle for a veresov opening after 1..d5
the lines with Nd3 lead some strange positions ... |

Dec-12-14 Nepomniachtchi vs Karjakin, 2014 
|
goommba88: I could be wrong here, but Karjkin could be the highest rated player ever (2770) to ever lose against this, with black in a classical time control |

May-13-14 US Championship (2014) 
|
goommba88: US champ. rd5 Kamsky pessimistic
i dont really think Kamsky should really be upset with himself too much. He has had 3 blacks after all, and 1&1/2
with white is nothing too upset about. The important thing will be a strong finish |

Apr-10-14 Kosteniuk vs T Kosintseva, 2014
|
goommba88: I for the life of me do not understand why in gm play, white plays that Ng5 line with white. black just needs to make a few accurate defensive moves and he invariably gets the better game> nice win for kosteniuk.

goommba88: this comment for mr.schiller/ or acirce
has anyone taken a serious look at the line 5..Qc5!? after (1.d4 e5 2.dxe5 Nc6 3.Nf3 Qe7 4.Bf4 Qb4+ 5.Bd2) ?
my engine seems to think that it is playable although white still keeps an advantage ( a couple of sample lines would be 6.Be3 [to |
