Jan-13-18 Anand vs M Matlakov, 2018    rahulthemoron: With the World Rapid title (over a field including Magnus the great) and now this, Anand seems to be on a roll. In Bengali, we have a saying that a fire flares up before it finally burns out. I feel that that is what is happening with Vishy. And personally, being an Indian and      Dec-10-17 Carlsen vs Nepomniachtchi, 2017    rahulthemoron: If 31. Nxf7 - Kxf7 followed by 32. Bg5+ then the black queen has no problems at all, simply Nf6 leaves white with a pawn for a knight.      Oct-01-17 Fressinet vs Anand, 2017    rahulthemoron: Ulhumbrus, although all GMs study each other's games obsessively, Anand was world number 2 when Carlsen was wetting his bed - Carlsen owes a lot more to Anand in terms of learning from his games than vice versa.      Sep-01-17 A Blees vs F Vallejo Pons, 1997    rahulthemoron: If black plays 23.Qxg5 white saves his own queen with Qc4+ and then takes black's queen.      Aug-29-17 World Cup (2017)    rahulthemoron: We now have a classical chess World Champion who got his crown by winning a rapid game.

It wasn't a "speculative attack". Otherwise, if he had tried to save the knight, it had only e7 to go to. Next move, Anand pushes f5 threatening the other knight, which can only retreat to h8 or f7. and thereafter the queen is ...      Jan-28-16 Gibraltar Masters (2016)    rahulthemoron: Chess conclusively proves that at least in some ways, women have less efficient brains. In this game of intellect played worldwide with no extraneous bias factors like physical strength, the world No.1 woman, Yifan Hou, is actually the world No. 68.      Nov-10-15 A Bullen vs J Fathallah, 2014    rahulthemoron: i am so relieved - i was under the impression that this chrisowen crap was some arcane community lingo intelligible to all but me...      Aug-28-15 Anand vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2015    rahulthemoron: Isn't Vishy winning here?
