May-10-08  kinseadm: why didn't radja take the knight on move 25?
May-10-08  cannibal: <kinseadm>
Pawn takes knight, rook takes pawn, and suddenly white can't avoid losing a rook.

May-10-08  virginmind: heh, 14.Bb2, chucky takes revenge for his long thinking
May-10-08  muradov: Radjabov-Aronian is following Rybka's line :) I just hope that Radjabov doesnt screw it up again...
May-10-08  virginmind: wanting to win with style, chucky might have complicated things a bit too much
May-10-08  muradov: chucky is doing just fine..he's getting the knight back..and castle is coming up soon..black king is way too much active :)

May-10-08  imag: Cheparinov didn't go for a forced draw and will have problems now.
May-10-08  hovik2003: Chepa is about to sac the exchange for initiative or better deffence I don't know!
May-10-08  Ezzy: Yasser Seirawen just told a story.

Yasser was a room mate with Larry Cristianson when he beat Karpov in 12 moves - Christiansen vs Karpov, 1993

When Christianson got back to the hotel, he told Yasser that he asked Tolya did he want to analyse the game. Yasser roared with laughter saying "You didn't" - He later admitted that he didn't ask him.

May-10-08  robertgida: Cheparinov and Radjabov seems tired, isn't it?
May-10-08  virginmind: chepa seems ok, but radja does seem a bit tired - he has reasons also
May-10-08  hovik2003: Are you kidding Chepa is winning now!, looks like Topalov going down
May-10-08  hovik2003: No he didn't , I missed the repeatation, so homeboys are settling for a draw!
May-10-08  virginmind: bu not fearing mating nets...
May-10-08  muradov: What does engines think about Radja's position? I started worrying again :(

May-10-08  malthrope: 18... Kxe5? ~lol~ Now Chucky will finish with a flair! ;)
May-10-08  Akuni: Ivanchuk has a forced mate now. 12 moves according to Rybka
May-10-08  percyblakeney: Engines think Aronian is slightly better and that Topalov is much better if he plays f5 instead of Qc1+ after Re5.
May-10-08  minasina: Chepa-Topa after
