  • That’s Interesting

    This is one for my students who’ll probably guess why I find this game interesting. Everyone else is just going to have to wonder. However I can offer the vital insight that Morozevich made a 2900 performance in the tournament and was probably off the chart if we rate this single game.

    1. Unive (Hoogeveen) [I trust I got it right this time!]: Vladimir Kramnik continues to lead; in fact, he continues to be the only player who has won a game in this tournament. He was under pressure against Anish Giri in round 4, however, and was in danger for a long time before managing to hold the draw in an ending with rook and knight against Giri's rook and bishop. The other game, between...

    It’s interesting to see the effect of the same lesson on different students. With some the message just seems to hit home and they get great benefit from it. Others simply don’t get it, at least not the way it is being explained. And this is why it’s important to find a teacher whose ideas [...]

  • Tricks And Traps After 1.e4

    chessimprover.com | 19/10/2011 01:00:31 | Reads: 110
    Whilst I don’t believe in playing for traps in the openings a knowledge of thematic traps helps us understand some important chess ideas. In this game I suspect that Artur Yusupov missed the brilliant Bxc4 because of White’s previous g2-g3, preparing to bring the bishop out to a different diagonal. It’s interesting how the mind [...]
