< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 46 OF 46 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-30-07    Peligroso Patzer: <Jim Bartle: I'm no expert, but it sure looks as if Inarkiev did a huge favor for Morozevich by voluntarily opening the g and h files.> That was my impression also, but I guess he did not like having his Rook tied down defending the h-pawn. Although it only served to let the second White Rook into Black's position (with swift and devastating consequences), 47. ... h4 probably appealed to Inarkiev because it eliminated a weak pawn and freed his Rook. By move 47, Inarkiev was almost certainly lost whatever he played. Dec-30-07    virginmind: bravo morozevich! Dec-30-07    Peligroso Patzer: ... and Sakaev-Amonatov is now the "last game standing" at the 2007 Russian Superfinals. Dec-30-07    moroloser: I'm already missing him...Gave us fans a very entertaining Xmas. He's not playing Corus, will he play Linares at least?? Dec-30-07    Scarecrow: 8/11, the player with the fewest draws and most wins, a very impressive performance by Morozevich! I'm sure this will boost his rating a bit as well. Very nice new additions to chess theory in the exchange Slav also. Clear 2nd place for Grischuk and clear 3rd for Tomashevsky. Svidler's -1 performance against this field is embarrassing. Dec-30-07    malthrope: <Peligroso Patzer: ... and Sakaev-Amonatov is now the "last game standing" at the 2007 Russian Superfinals.> Actually <Peligroso Patzer> - I think the women will finish things up with a 4-way playoff for the their Championship title! Korbut, Tairova, Ovad and Tatinia Kosintseva are all tied up at 7-4! :^) Unless of course some other tiebreak system is being used to sort all this out... ;) Dec-30-07    DCP23: Alexander Morozevich is the new Russian Champion. Congratulations! The title goes to a most deserving player. Dec-30-07    malthrope: Amen to that <DCP23> :)) Dec-30-07    The 64 Deadly Sins: Who would have guessed such a score for Moro? :-) With a little more perfection, he could have one the first game and drawn the last game that he lost. Dec-30-07    Eyal: And with a very impressive finish as well – serves me right, I guess, for saying earlier that Moro seems to be playing for a draw... coming back now to see how the games have turned out after leaving before, I'm still trying to figure out what started Inarkiev's downfall in the game. Dec-30-07    Peligroso Patzer: <malthrope: <Peligroso Patzer: ... and Sakaev-Amonatov is now the "last game standing" at the 2007 Russian Superfinals.> Actually <Peligroso Patzer> - I think the women will finish things up with a 4-way playoff for their Championship title! *** > Fantastic! I assume that will be starting imminently. Will it be carried on the same online site as the regular games (http://russiachess.org/online/)? Dec-30-07    malthrope: <Peligroso Patzer: <malthrope [...] Fantastic! I assume that will be starting imminently. Will it be carried on the same online site as the regular games (http://russiachess.org/online/)?>> Well one can hope so! I'll stick around awhile and refresh the main website... :) Those women play for blood and if it happens - it should be bloody fantastic! ;)) Dec-30-07    JYMMI: A happy day for me. I like Moro. And now? What are the final standings? Dec-30-07    Microdot: Congratulations!! to Super GM Morozevich. Dec-30-07    Gouki: The new Russian Champion of 2007, GM Alexander Morozevich. does anyone why the 2006 Champion Evgeny Alekseev did not participate in this event? Dec-30-07    CHESSDOCTER: Alekseev played in Moscow Blitz tournament(Kosteniuk won!) according to Kosteniuk.com. Dec-30-07    Nepa Pugna: Today's games have been over for a while and I didn't get the chance to see one "live" today. As luck would have it when I finally tune in I find Moro is champ. Outstanding! Dec-30-07    Riverbeast: Congratulations to Morozevich, the brilliant champion of Russia! Dec-31-07    DCP23: The Champs: http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/... Dec-31-07    Larsker: <DCP23: The Champs:> Oh, what a lovely couple. Dec-31-07    ChessVip: lol Moro was the only in sport dress :) http://s140.photobucket.com/albums/... Dec-31-07    JYMMI: http://www.chesspro.ru/_events/2007... Closing ceremony. Dec-31-07    jperr75108: Congradulations to Morozevich. Jan-02-08    Riverbeast: <lol Moro was the only in sport dress :)> Morozevich, like a true artist, probably does not own a suit (or maybe he owns one, but it was in the cleaners...from the last time he wore it in Mexico City! :-) Apr-20-08    positionalgenius: Svidler's performance was stunningly bad here.
