Sep-19-22 Niemann vs Carlsen, 2022 
| |
| savagerules: This was computer's top choice 2 c4. Obviously Niemann is cheating. Maybe Carlsen has a case of Niemann-fear. Fischer played 1 c4 in some tournament in 1970 and the opponent, Panno, resigned immediately. |

Sep-13-22 75th Russian Championship (2022)
| |
| savagerules: The big names (except for Karjakin) will all show up in high spirits for the V. Putin Memorial Tournament hopefully sometime real soon. |

| savagerules: King Charles now? Or do they have a vote or something? I must say if the Prince does become King at least he's more dignified looking now than when he was younger. |

Mar-22-22 Sergey Karjakin
| |
| savagerules: I notice big- talk Karjakin isn't volunteering for little Putin to take up a gun and go into Ukraine and fight the so-called nazis. He could even do non- military volunteer work there like putting toe tags on dead, rotting Russian soldiers. He does has the sort of smirky face ... |

| |
| savagerules: It's odd he would travel and play in a live tournament in another country right after getting out of the hospital. Is he hard up for money or just bored? |

Dec-08-21 Carlsen - Nepomniachtchi World Championship Match (2021)
| |
| savagerules: Down 3 games and Nepo plays the Petroff. The equivalent of 'No mas, no mas.' |

Nov-27-21 Carlsen vs Nepomniachtchi, 2021
| |
| savagerules: Carlsen has sacked a pawn early in each of the two games. So far it's an interesting and entertaining match and looks like Carlsen wants to win decisively unlike his previous two World Championship matches where they went to tiebreaks and were rather dull overall. |

Sep-29-21 Tigran V Petrosian
| |
| savagerules: The world never had the chance to see a Petrosian-Ulf Andersson match. An epic match that would have had 95% draws and all under 20 moves. I can picture Ulf sitting with both legs folded on the chair with a mug of coffee in his hand and Tigran fiddling with his hearing aid and ... |

Sep-25-21 Karpov - Korchnoi World Championship Match (1978)
| |
| savagerules: The film looks to be pretty good. It's called World Champion. The actor playing Karpov has the greasy long hair the way Karpov had it back then. It shows Karpov having a nose bleed and freaking out on people probably due to intense pressure near the end of the 1978 championship ... |

Sep-07-21 Hug vs Korchnoi, 1978
| |
| savagerules: Never saw this game before but 24...Qe2 is odd and outstanding. Viktor was at his peak in the mid to late 1970s. I see the old comments and wonder what AJ is up to these days. |
