Oct-24-16 Kasparov vs Topalov, 1999    kirkow: kirkow: It seems that Topalov is the perfect client for immortalizing his opponent's game. Both Karpov and Kasparov played as white against him their best games. And the brilliant combination of both of them began with a rook sacrifice.      Oct-24-16 Karpov vs Topalov, 1994    kirkow: It seems that Topalov is the perfect client for immortalizing his opponent's game. Both Karpov and Kasparov played as white against him their best games. And the brilliant combination of both of them began with a rook sacrifice.      Jan-08-15 Carlsen vs S Osinovsky, 2014    kirkow: It is interesting that in the database there are only 8 games of Osinovsky. He has lost every single one of the first 7. He managed to win only one, which happens to be the one against the WC!      Oct-13-14 Caruana vs Grischuk, 2014    kirkow: Ludicrous. Carlsen is definitely Calsen. But then again, who is Caruana?      Dec-13-13 Short vs Caruana, 2013    kirkow: His opponent was Short and that game was short.      Nov-27-13 Magnus Carlsen    kirkow: It's interesting to see that after 2008, when Carlsen's performance improved astonishingly, there is not a single game considered by this database as "notable". This is more or less the time when he abandoned the offensive style of his youth, I guess.      Apr-03-13 Y Lu vs Le Quang Liem, 2013   kirkow: Terrific game!      Jan-08-13 Tata Steel Group A (2013)    kirkow: I don't understand the criteria of the group formation. Why Yifan Hou is playing in the first group while Arkadij Naiditsch is competing in the second?      Jan-02-13 Nakamura vs Carlsen, 2012    kirkow: The hula hoop king!      Oct-23-12 F Vallejo Pons vs S B Hansen, 2012    kirkow: He didn't say he would quit from chess for a while?
