Dec-04-17 Carlsen vs Anand, 2017    jhelix70: no attempt by any of the players playing white to claim an opening advantage...Adams played e4 but went with a Bb5 Sicilian, the others sticking with quiet lines of d4 or c4.      Dec-03-17 London Chess Classic (2017)    jhelix70: Is this what the draw death of chess looks like? Top players are so well prepared with databases and computer analysis.      Nov-29-16 Carlsen - Karjakin World Championship Match (2016)    jhelix70: <<YouRang: In any case thanks for your example of how to write a post that isn't long and boring.>> You're welcome :-) I'm enjoying reading the different opinions (at least those posts that lack insults and trolling). Thanks to all those who keep things respectful.      Nov-21-16 Carlsen vs Karjakin, 2016    jhelix70: <<<jhelix70: > If we continue to get all draws I would expect Karjakin to start getting desperate and possibly make mistakes to try and avoid the rapids part of the match. This should make for some interesting games down the line.>> Maybe this will happen. But ...      Nov-15-16 Karjakin vs Carlsen, 2016    jhelix70: <<not not: Jhelix, how about tennis way, like if tie they play 2 extra games, white and black, and who gets more points out of two games wins? If same points, another two extra games? Like tie break in tennis>> This could work, but would also bring back the specter of ...      Aug-30-16 P K Wells vs Short, 2015   jhelix70: << Fusilli: The Benoni comes with a big "handle with care" sign attached to it. I'm not sure I'd agree with 18...Nfd7. White could place the knight on d4, making a P-b5 break very difficult for black, and following up with f4. >> Interesting game...I think after 18. ...      Jun-30-16 D Feoktistov vs M Tomb, 2004   jhelix70: Quiet as a tomb.      May-14-16 Jobava vs S Bogner, 2016    jhelix70: 24. Ra8!! What a shot from Jobava! Would make a good daily puzzle at some point. Presumably, the answer to 26. ...Qc8 is Bh3.      Apr-25-16 Norway Chess (2016)    jhelix70: <<Actually I am curious just why there is so much fear of the Neo-Gruenfeld Goglidze attack (D70) after 1. d4 ♘f6 2. c4 g6 3. f3 d5. If one is unwilling to play this line, then indeed one is forced into a Saemisch Kings Indian or Benoni-type game.>> And yet, ...      Feb-25-16 Kamsky vs S Arun Prasad, 2015    jhelix70: Kamsky certainly seems to be the reigning expert in this opening; is there any other top GM playing it nowadays? I'm guessing no one invests a lot of time preparing for it as black (since it is so rare), which could explain his ongoing success. (Well, plus Kamsky's own mastery.)      Feb-12-16 B Lalic vs L Trent, 2008     Feb-04-16 Carlsen vs Kramnik, 2015     Jan-26-16 Wei Yi vs Navara, 2016     Jan-17-16 Tata Steel Masters (2016)     Nov-18-15 I Ivanisevic vs Jobava, 2015    Oct-09-15 Korchnoi vs Ribli, 1988     Oct-02-15 Karjakin vs Svidler, 2015     Sep-11-15 A Ssegwanyi vs Giri, 2015     Sep-01-15 Carlsen vs Nakamura, 2015     Aug-06-15 British Championship (2015)     Apr-02-15 US Championship (2015)     Nov-21-14 Anand vs Carlsen, 2014     Oct-31-14 G Minchev vs A Petrov, 1994     Oct-30-14 FIDE Grand Prix Tashkent (2014)     Oct-14-14 W Siebenhaar vs R Loman, 1884    Aug-23-14 O Perez Perez vs G Fernandez Fernandez, 2009    Jul-22-14 Rapport vs T Rogers, 2014     Jul-20-14 Dortmund Sparkassen (2014)     Jul-17-14 A Zapata vs Anand, 1988     Jul-12-14 Naiditsch vs Adams, 2014     Jul-10-14 Olland vs Alekhine, 1913    Jul-10-14 J Asiain vs Alekhine, 1932     Jun-23-14 M Bronowicki vs J Slaby, 2001    May-27-14 Said Ahmed Ali Jidal Fadhil vs C A Galappaththi, 2014    May-25-14 Karpov vs L Mercuri, 1990     May-14-14 Ragozin vs D Rovner, 1941     Apr-29-14 Gashimov Memorial (2014)     Apr-06-14 Tal vs H Skuja, 1965     Mar-29-14 World Championship Candidates (2014)     Mar-23-14 Korchnoi vs M Bonch-Osmolovsky, 1953    Feb-17-14 Jobava vs B Savchenko, 2014     Nov-16-13 Anand - Carlsen World Championship Match (2013)     Oct-04-13 FIDE Grand Prix Paris (2013)     Sep-09-13 Erwin Voellmy     Aug-18-13 H van Steenis vs T Wechsler, 1947     Jul-22-13 Petrosian vs Grigoriev, 1945     Jul-15-13 Ljubojevic vs Karpov, 1981     Jun-19-13 Tal vs Smyslov, 1976     May-06-13 Flamberg vs Spielmann, 1912     Apr-08-13 World Championship Candidates (2013)     Apr-05-13 W Kribi vs E Wagenschuetz, 1991    Mar-23-13 Nigel Short     Mar-22-13 Short vs Korchnoi, 1995     Feb-09-13 J Hickl vs I Sokolov, 2005     Dec-30-12 R Grau vs Maroczy, 1930     Dec-29-12 R Gaudin vs G Nagy, 1928     Dec-29-12 H Wang vs N Das, 2007    Dec-28-12 M Moe vs Larsen, 1973     Dec-28-12 Beliavsky vs H Mas, 2008    Dec-28-12 Svidler vs Ponomariov, 2012     Jul-24-12 Carlsen vs H Wang, 2012     Jul-23-12 Biel Chess Festival (2012)     Jul-17-12 Caruana vs J Gustafsson, 2012     Jul-17-12 Kramnik vs Ponomariov, 2012     Jul-14-12 Najdorf vs Glucksberg, 1929     Jul-14-12 Naiditsch vs G Meier, 2012     Jul-13-12 ACP Golden Classic (2012)     Jul-13-12 Caruana vs Naiditsch, 2012     Jul-13-12 Karjakin vs Kramnik, 2012     Jun-11-12 R Ashley vs R Morton, 1980     Jun-10-12 Tal Memorial (2012)     May-28-12 B Wall vs V Greenwalt, 1983     May-28-12 V Greenwalt vs B Wall, 1983     May-27-12 L B Zapoleon vs Capablanca, 1913     May-26-12 J Barle vs I Jelen, 1979     May-26-12 Anand - Gelfand World Championship Match (2012)     May-19-12 Nakamura vs Seirawan, 2012     May-18-12 G Barbero vs U Rueetschi, 1987     May-15-12 Nakamura vs Shulman, 2012     May-12-12 Nakamura vs Kaidanov, 2012     May-10-12 Kramnik vs Anand, 2008     May-08-12 Nakamura vs R Hess, 2012     Apr-25-12 Kramnik vs Aronian, 2012     Apr-25-12 Aronian vs Kramnik, 2012     Apr-24-12 Kramnik vs Aronian, 2012     Apr-21-12 Kramnik - Aronian (2012)     Apr-19-12 Anand vs Polugaevsky, 1993    Apr-19-12 Korchnoi vs Yusupov, 1981     Apr-14-12 Karpov vs Kind, 1976     Apr-09-12 Nepomniachtchi vs B Savchenko, 2012     Apr-02-12 A Gilfillan vs I McNab, 1994     Apr-02-12 R Libeau vs Uhlmann, 1995    Mar-24-12 P Prohaszka vs C Balogh, 2012     Mar-17-12 Vitacek vs Duras, 1900     Mar-16-12 V Liberzon vs I Radulov, 1968     Mar-12-12 Spassky vs Krasenkow, 1991
