Feb-21-12 S Williams vs Adams, 2012
| |
| pyryk: If 21. Nxb7, instead of ..Qxb7, I imagine Black would respond with ..Qf4+ 22. Kb1 Rd2 threatening both the queen and bishop. A catastrophe on b2 does not seem far off either. |

Aug-03-07 Risto Kauranen
| |
| pyryk: I'd just like to add to whitesharks account that Risto Kauranen seems to be a GM in correspondence chess and his national cc rating (KELO) is 2605 as of 25.6.2007, making him the 2nd highest ranked player in Finland. Also, I spotted one minor mistake in whiteshark's account: he was ... |

| pyryk: I just realized that TPR 2887 is very probably the highest ever recorded by a Finn. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I just can't imagine that any Finnish player has even come close to achieving such a high performance rating before. |

Aug-26-06 The World vs A Nickel, 2006
| |
| pyryk: <suenteus po 147> I don't really think you can escape theory by choosing an opening like 1.f4 (bird's opening). For example, Keith Hayward's site ( http://www.geocities.com/drawyah/ ) has quite a lot of analysis on that particular opening. |

Aug-12-06 A W Fox vs H E Bauer, 1900
| |
| pyryk: Well, for the first time I can honestly say that I managed to "solve" a saturday puzzle in ~5 seconds. However, I didn't really have to calculate one bit - I realized that I had encountered this game a couple of hours ago while going through Vukovic's <Art of Attack in Chess>. ... |

Jun-19-06 King's Gambit Declined (C30)
| |
| pyryk: <KingG> Thanks for the commentary. About 12..e4!, I had thought about it during the game but I thought I could play 13. d5. That move is of course just losing now that I look at it. |

Jun-11-06 F Vallejo Pons vs Topalov, 2006
| |
| pyryk: <babakova> 6.g4 is a bit unusual - Black hasn't played Nf6 so the g-pawn isn't really threatening anything. |
