   Jun-06-25 Norway Chess (2025) (replies)
 
jphamlore: I have to wonder when a world champion like Gukesh goes into near perfection mode with little time left, how is he doing it? Is he just faster because he's younger with more energy to breadth search lines others can't find in that time, or is he intuitively coming up with the best
 
   Feb-13-25 Freestyle Grand Tour Weissenhaus (2025) (replies)
 
jphamlore: I think these games are showing the computer engines have if anything become too good, at least for analyzing a game in progress. What would be more useful, but perhaps not possible, is an engine that can vary its analysis based on expected depth of calculation. And that expected ...

jphamlore: <Olavi: This is completely silly, to decide a great tournament with 3+3 blitz games... actually it's a shame. What on earth is wrong with a shared win.> Because the alternative is Carlsen and Kramnik after Candidates 2013? And look at both players' results the final round.
 
   Jan-09-25 Botvinnik vs Smyslov, 1958
 
jphamlore: Botvinnik (re)annotated this game for the book that would eventually be translated into English as Half a Century of Chess. Botvinnik observes that Smyslov would not have liked the following position after a variation 30 ... ♘xd4 31. ♕xd4 ♕xd4 32. ♖xd4 d5, ...

jphamlore: Carlsen tops the week off by ... getting married! :-) https://www.chess.com/news/view/mag...
 
   Dec-31-24 World Blitz Championship (Women) (2024)
 
jphamlore: Assaubayeva flags probably after 50 moves. Harsh.

jphamlore: Back to the chess, Murzin's King charge Round 12 right into his opponent's position has to go down as one of the most outstanding practical gambits to preserve winning chances for an event, regardless of any retroactive computer analysis.
 
   Dec-21-24 Champions Chess Tour Finals (2024) (replies)
 
jphamlore: Is everyone playing this event getting on a plane to spend Christmas in NYC? I wonder if some shared the same flight and played even more blitz chess with each other.
 
   Dec-20-24 Ding - Gukesh World Championship Match (2024) (replies)
 
jphamlore: <Sally Simpson: <Check It Out> Re:Intuition. I watched a 2020 Carlsen interview cum examination when he took the 100 endgame test where he says that a lot of the basic endgame patterns that guide us mortals, 'the square' etc he never learned, he did it by intuition. He ...
 
   Nov-26-24 Ding Liren vs D Gukesh, 2024 (replies)
 
jphamlore: <offramp: Nunn said that if someone thought for more than 20 minutes he'll make a mistake.> Kasparov's 90 minute think was apparently correct versus Karpov, but the expenditure of time had consequences later?
