Roger Krueger has kibitzed 70 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jan-22-12 Tkachiev vs Mamedyarov, 2008   Roger Krueger: Aw c'mon, which is more likely, that players of this caliber actually did this, or that this is one of hundreds of corrupt scores from blitz events?      Sep-21-11 Grand Slam Chess Final (2011)    Roger Krueger: My heart's with Naka, but after Vish's astounding performance at the Botvinnik it's hard to see him anywhere but first.      Jun-11-11 Bazna King's Tournament (2011)    Roger Krueger: <Nakamura is great, no doubt, but this is not blitz or rapid, this is classic chess.> I think Naka's speed skills are overrated--he's very good, but no better than he is at classical--5th-6th in the world. Compared to Carlsen's 9-1-1 clobbering of the world's best at ...      May-28-11 Alekhine vs NN, 1915    Roger Krueger: The denouement loses a bit in translation (to algebraic).      May-23-11 World Championship Candidates (2011)    Roger Krueger: Carlsen wins every time these two stink up the place with a short draw. If there was exciting, dynamic chess going down FIDE could say "screw the kid, we're doing fine." But every snoozer makes Carlsen's charisma and decisive style seem necessary to those with the purse ...      Apr-16-11 US Championship (Women) (2011)    Roger Krueger: Somehow I feel better about my personal blunders when I see an IM hang her queen. She didn't even show for the post-mortem with Jen & Maurice--isn't there something in the rules about that?      Apr-14-11 Gata Kamsky    Roger Krueger: Check out his official portrait in the U.S. Championships bios: http://www.saintlouischessclub.org/... . The hair and expression are perfect, all he needs to do is shave his eyebrows and he's evil Pink. But hey, calm, confident and intimidating is probably an appropriate look ...      Apr-12-11 11th BCC Thailand Open (2011)    Roger Krueger: Top 4 boards--the top seeds and their victims.      Mar-10-11 20th Amber Tournament (Rapid) (2011)    Roger Krueger: And I don't see why ESPN couldn't try blitz at least. Way more fun to watch than Texas Hold'em, which they (among others) show a ton of.      Feb-22-11 Capablanca vs Spielmann, 1927    Roger Krueger: Hmmm, not the 1st, 2nd or 583rd place I'd have expected a Dead reference. Opens whole new realms of punnish possibilities.
