The "Pretend You're a Grandmaster" Thread

That last game against Magnus was a piece of cake.

Anand tries. He really does. What else is there to say? I just tried a little bit harder. [shrugs]

-said no Grandmaster ever.

I tried, but I got a headache.

I've Beaten Deep Blue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm playing white and I evaluate the position to be -0.23

Resign, of course.

I finally got enough money from chess to pay the electricity bill

I played 55. Ne7, doing maximum psychological damage to my opponent. If there's one thing Radjabov can't stand, it's late-game theatrics with the knight. It totally ruins his concentration. He was no good after that. The most he could scrape together was a weak 55...Ra6, but that was no good since the action was all on the dark square complex surrounding g6. This is a good technique to remember for your games.

I played 178....... Nd4, doing maximum damage to Anand's King.

Invinted a new opining, how do I get it named after me

I played 3.d4 ,1/2-1/2

Yeah I had this crazy tactical position but I was confident because I remembered a game Malovsky-Perugov in 1923 which feature a similar position.

Arbiter! My queens shadow is too big!

lol

Says GM, "I just tried out the macer75 on Karpov in a lightning game.  He hesistated 2 full seconds (staring, and probably thinking "mouse slip?") enough time for me to snag a win."

You're referring to this thread, right?

That's the one.

If I wasn't Bobby's friend, he didn't have any!
