World Chess Championship 2014, Anand wins game 3 against Carlsen after a painful loss. The match is on fire.

For almost every chess fan in the universe, the world championship was over after the disastrous loss for Anand on game 2, Vishy offered almost no resistance with the black pieces in a Spanish opening, so we were expecting the worst for our chess hero.
After the win, a completely relaxed Magnus Carlsen even played a soccer match with his team and maybe played a few games of FIFA 15 online, who knows.
But while Carlsen was chillin' out, the tiger was studying and sharpening his teeth, planning his revenge.
And guess what, Vishy is not called "the indian tiger" for nothing, he came back in a spectacular fashion on game 3, opening preparation paid it's dividends in a queen´s gambit where white solidly advances his pawns on the queenside trying to keep and advanced pawn. The game followed the same path as  Tomashevsky vs Riazantsev,2008 until move 25 except for a pawn in h3. Carlsen felt the pressure and began to ran out of time, Vishy missed a golden opportunity to hold a grab with 25.0-0 , but that didn't change the game direction. A few moves later Vishy was winning on time and position.
Glad to see Anand back on the match, this is a superb mental shot for the contender, because he won with maybe the only advantage he has on the champion: opening preparation.

Fabiano Caruana kicking ass like a madman at Sinquefield Cup, perfect score so far.

Well, it seems that there is a monster in town, and no, my friend, he is not a talented norwegian boy, he comes from the land of pizza and macaroni. Fabiano Caruana has defeated every single top player in the Sinquefield cup, including no other than current world champion and number 1 Magnus Carlsen. To put Caruana's performance in context we must remember some other great winning streaks such as Fischer's interzonal-candidates (including 6-0 over Taimanov and 6-0 over Larsen), Karpov at Linares 1994, Topalov at San Luis 2006. So, we must wait for the second leg of this tournament, Caruana can still enhance his score, there is a nice article at chess.com These recent results from Caruana just confirm that he is the closer contender for Magnus Carlsen, the world champion has been affected by a decline in his game since the olympiad in Norway, there must be some psychological component on it, since he is not even close to his impressive results from the last 3 years. Now, fo

Smart Mobile Studio, the rise of compiled JS programming languages and why the future is happening right now.

Javascript is the present and future of pretty much every web based technology either desktop or backend, no doubt about it, just look at the impressive momentum of tools suchs as Angular and Node.js, look at the efforts of giant companies strongly trying to deliver the next holy grail of  JS compiled programming languages, to my mind comes Microsoft with Typescript and Google with Dart. They both try to fill the gap between an obscure and alien language like JS and the elegance and productivity of object oriented, garbage collected languages. If you (like me) miss some nice IDE with superproductive features that enable to build production quality JS desktop and server apps i recommend you to look no further at software giants like already mentioned Google and Microsoft the answer to your problems could be in a small, Norway based software shop. Smart Mobile Studio is the creation of a small team of programming gurus very well known inside the Delphi Community, did i say "Delp
