Chess: The king is dead. Long live the king.
http://mychess.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-king-is-dead-long-live-king.html
Chess games, analysis and commentary. Friday, November 22, 2013. The king is dead. Long live the king. Anand played a solid game while keeping tension but started making mistakes. A blunder by each player led to an endgame with an advantage for Carlsen, who tried to win but forced a draw when things got complicated. Final score: 6 1/2 - 3 1/2. Im just surprised that Anand did not win a single game. He is only 100 Elopoints behind Carlsen. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Adam Raoof (Chess Circuit).

http://thegreatpatzer.blogspot.com/2015/08/chessercise-athletic-musing-from.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. CHESSERCISE; Athletic musing from a Passionate Patzer! Chess has two sides. On one hand, We stare at the UNCLEAR position- thinking of long-term plans and looking for Vague, tactical complications…. On the other we seek mainly to make Move after move- avoiding idiotic blunders and avoiding giving the opponent Easy tactical chances to win the game! YOU don’t need to play for hour on end- you merely need play carefully, slowly, and regularly. Back to the TOPIC. My own gaming this w...

Chess: Looks like Anand is going to go out with a whimper
http://mychess.blogspot.com/2013/11/looks-like-anand-is-going-to-go-out.html
Chess games, analysis and commentary. Monday, November 18, 2013. Looks like Anand is going to go out with a whimper. C'mon, man, FIGHT! As Chessbase points out, there is a football adage in Brazil that states that losing by ten goals or by a thousand is the same. If you have nothing to lose (and in a match this short, you have nothing to lose. Then the score stops being a factor in your decision making. Play something sharp, lose again, doesn't matter. But don't draw like this! Adam Raoof (Chess Circuit).

Chess: Email from a reader
http://mychess.blogspot.com/2013/09/email-from-reader.html
Chess games, analysis and commentary. Tuesday, October 01, 2013. Email from a reader. I thought y'all might. Be interested in the documentary I’m making about New Orleans chessmaster Jude Acers who has been playing $5 games in the French Quarter at his "World Chess Table" since 1981. We have already spent extensive time at Acers' table interviewing him at length when he's not playing and they're also developing storylines about people in Jude's orbit- a cast that looks remarkably like New Orleans.
