Oct-18-24 Aronian vs Shankland, 2024    knaugle: This game is classified as B23, Closed Sicilian. Nothing could be further from the truth. This is a pure Dragon Sicilian.      Oct-14-24 Svidler vs Khismatullin, 2015    knaugle: Well, this game is misclassified as a B23 closed Sicilian. It's anything but.      Oct-09-24 G A Larson vs C Jones, 2006   knaugle: Shout out to Craig. He was a HS buddy of mine back in the South Penn CC. I was better than he was, once. No more.      Jun-08-23 Kenneth Rogoff    knaugle: <perfidious: ... On another front: what is your view of presidential rankings across the years?> Wikipedia has a good page on all the historian surveys through the years. I agree with the basic conclusions. Washington, Lincoln and FDR are our greatest presidents. Buchanan, A. ...      Mar-29-23 Oll vs Z Kozul, 1984   knaugle: King.Arthur.Brazil: [an interesting possibility which leads to a Fischer' style end game: 30. gxf5!? ♖xh7 31. ♖xh7.] I think the intermezzo 31. .. Qxb2+ Kd1 and only then 32. .. Rxh7 33. fxg6+ Kg7 34. gxh7 Qxc3 is more winning, less Fischeresque      Mar-20-23 G Kluger vs Ribli, 1971   knaugle: No fun here. 28. Nf5 Bxf5 29. Ne7+ Kh8 30. Bxf5 Nxb5 31. Rxb7 and White has a nice edge Instead it was a draw.      Mar-20-23 F Olafsson vs Uhlmann, 1961    knaugle: OK, so Uhlmann traded queens and took the draw, but 16. ... Qxe5 pockets a piece. Stockfish on fumes rates it -5.6. Seems like game over to me.      Apr-09-21 Nepomniachtchi vs Carlsen, 2021    knaugle: Not really. The description of ECO B33 is variously called the Sicilian Pelikan (Lasker / Sveshnikov) variation. It was just a matter of timing. Sveshnikov was later to this opening, but he made it better.      Apr-01-21 0    knaugle: Well, Ken Rogoff is still a darned good economist and can still crank out a mean game when he wants. I don't care what politicos who can't play chess say!      Mar-10-21 H Tikkanen vs L Babujian, 2005    knaugle: We need to start noting 32. ... Qxf3?? It throws away the win. White resigned on reflex.
