Here is the game.
Can anyone see some tactical shots based on the uncastled
Black King and and loose pieces.
I hammered in a few but cannot see a forced killer diller.

...

22. Ne4 looks a lot better than 22. Rb8+, but I can't find anything killer either.

That what I saw and perhaps Ne4 earlier and there are
other shapr trappy moves but nothing rock solid.

It's Malawi v Angola next and Linda will be facing either
Valquiria Rocha or Sandra Maria Venancio.
This will be a tough match.

yes indeed, 6:0 against some of the worlds elite, and like you say, his games look almost effortless.

I would play that one after I'd won. My entry song would probably be something like 'the final countdown' or 'let me entertain you' or something simple like that.

I see the curse of RHP has struck and Ivanchuck 'only' drew today.

And please refrain from using the tag 'Chucky'.

We do not have Topy, or Anandy or Carlsy or Taly or Kaspery
or Kamy or Shorty ( 🙂 ). next I'll be Greeny

Soon we will have Swissy and Skeetsy and Pauly and Mady Rooky....

If you go around sticking 'Y's' on the back of people's names
you will soon lose all your friends.

Glum times, Linda lost as her team went dow 4-0 v Angola.

Linda (white) to play.

Silly blunder this one which we have all done.
She went for the win of a pawn and in these cases the player
would no doubt have worked out that if the Rook stays on the
5th rank to hold the pawn the it is in danger of getting trapped.

Meanwhile during all that OTB calculation the g4 Bishop is protected.

28.h4? Rxg4.

I only used his nickname 'chucky' as that is the main character in the film 'Childsplay' (http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi1692861465/). I suspect you might have missed the joke... 😉

So now we are relating one of the world's best players
to a talking doll that goes around murdering people.

Hmmmmm....OK I can see it now. 😉

But do we now not need a doll that is also a chess player?

Ken (Barbie's ex-boyfriend) plays chess.

Barbie no longer goes out with Ken because he comes in a different box. 😲

Well can you blame him, he would hardly be a good chess player thinking IN the box would he! 😀
