Welcome to Commented Games Section

Since July 2002 Convekta Ltd. (Chess Assistant maker) is starting at its website http://www.ChessAssistant.com a new project of commenting games of most interest being currently played at all of the major tournaments throughout the world.

Commenting is produced by the Chess Assistant program which includes one of the world’s strongest playing programs Chess Tiger (rated 2722 after SSDF) as well as Opening Encyclopedia by GM Kharitonov (the Champion of Moscow in 2002), games database and unique algorithms for intellectual analysis, worked out by GM ICCF Blokh. All of these features make analysing both an interesting and useful procedure and allow to reveal and annotate all the key moments of a certain game.

Comments used to be made by the Athlon-1GHz computers which time for thinking over each of the moves equalled 1 minute for a move. Once the computer discovered any intensification, the analysis tree was growing longer. If a mistake in the same game was detected, there was realized an additional calculation for the certain variation at the first three semi-moves.
