Re: Stephen Moss
You may use Opening Explorer or other books without engine evaluations in Daily chess Hmmm. Not sure what they mean by "books without engine evaluations". All books nowadays use engine evaluations. Indeed, there seems little point in publishing analysis at all if it's not been evaluated by an engin...

Re: Carlsen resigns on move 2
To understand the suspicions of the top players better, consider the following storyline: Personally I think the whole notion of "cheating" in relationships is ridiculous, especially in marriage. That you can now only ever have sex with one person for the rest of your life... :roll: :roll: :roll: R...

Re: Carlsen resigns on move 2
Rather than not good enough to play those moves, it would be more a case of not good enough not to make those mistakes. Is that the same thing? ah... Danny Rensch has given a little information on how chess.com detect cheating. In summary, they're looking at: How often a player plays one of the top...

Re: Carlsen resigns on move 2
