Mar-21-11 D Howell vs S Feller, 2010
| |
| rclb: Seems like this was the firebird chess engine versus David Howell http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... This game should be forfeited by Feller and Howell should have his elo increased accordingly. Plus, the whole French team should be disqualified. You just can't have this in Chess. |

| rclb: <patzer2>?? (major theological error, and totally unsustainable scientifically). |

Feb-03-11 Hikaru Nakamura
| |
| rclb: Only prospect for a WC from the west???
It's also worth noting that Caruana is from that well known former soviet eastern European nation Italy. 5 years younger than Naka, and probably stronger now than Naka 5 years ago. |

Jan-30-11 Luke McShane
| |
| rclb: Great tournament for Luke after his very successful London Classic. Hopefully he will be able to stand up to the big boys next year. Maybe a bit more opening prep will see him 2700+ by then. |

Jan-22-11 McShane vs Wojtaszek, 2011
| |
| rclb: 10 ...f5 is a mistake, after which moves like 11...Be6 and 12...Nf7 seem almost logical. After that, Luke plays like an engine. Very impressive. |

Jan-21-11 Tata Steel Group B (2011)
| |
| rclb: In this form, Luke is pretty much on a par with Carlsen and Anand! In real life, Adams is probably stronger. |

Jan-19-11 McShane vs Tkachiev, 2011
| |
| rclb: 24 Nxf6+!
After that combination white has all the winning chances. |
