The Judges Sound Off Read more about the judges here Great article focusing on Kamsky's mental blockades and psychological mistakes, illustrated by relevant chess fragments. Macauley gets both Topalov and Kamksy to shed some light on the background of the match, which is quite an achievement in itself already.- Arne Moll This was a real treat. The author delved into the psychology of the match, and compared sides of Kamsky and Topalov that the 64 squares just cannot show.- Rob Bernard The reporting was very thorough and solid. I feel this type of straightforward, well-researched reporting is Macauley’s strength- Tiebreaker judge Jonathan Hilton Best of CLO 2009 Countdown #1-#5- ?? #6-Kamsky on Match: "Life Goes on." by Macauley Peterson #7-Abby Marshall on her Denker Win by Abby Marshall #8-How to Score a Summer Upset by Matan Prilleltensky #9- Adventures of a Samford: Friedel on the 2009 US Champs by GM Josh Friedel #10-Interview with a Hall of Famer: GM John Fedorowicz by WGM Jennifer Shahade |
