2016 FIDE (Chess) Candidates Tournament

[robvalue]

I've realized the way I play chess is very much like my love life in general.

I'm not naturally very aggressive. I'm not good at going after what I want, so I tend to idly play with my pieces until someone else leaves theirs exposed.

I find mating with queens to be very easy, but I've never mastered the technique of doing it with a knight and a bishop at once. Luckily that opportunity has never presented itself so I've been spared the embarrassment.

I'm happy to get it over and done with quickly if I see the chance, but sometimes I resign myself to a long drawn out affair. I tend to find that once mating has begun, the weaker party (sometimes me) just lays down and takes it without resistance. I can tell pretty quickly how experienced someone is.
