Jun-09-13 Borislav Ivanov    tacticalmonster: There are overwhelming evidence that he is cheating: 1) A player doesn't just perform like a 2700 in one tournament and then play like an 1800 in the next tournament. 2) He played every top choices of Houdini in one of his blitz games! ( almost an impossible feat for a human      May-12-13 Anand - Carlsen World Championship Match (2013)    tacticalmonster: I think the match is now evenly matched: Anand: home field advantage, opening knowledge and enormous WC experience. Carlsen: Better technique, more psychological edge and youthful energy. Anand has the better chance in dynamic position while Carlsen has the edge in ...      May-12-13 Norway Chess (2013)    tacticalmonster: I don't understand why other top chess players call Carlsen a complete all rounder in chess.

Of course he isn't ...      Mar-26-13 Fischer vs Spassky, 1972    tacticalmonster: The GREATEST sacrifice of all time!

I did not see the point of the reply Nf6 which threatens the e4 pawn and open up c8-e6 ...      Feb-16-12 B Larsen vs Ljubojevic, 1972    tacticalmonster: What is even more impressive is that how did Fischer shut out a player like Larsen 6-0?
