| Jun-01-08 | | malthrope: <Kapell: malthrope, who stands better up to this moment?> Vishy I thought had the edge but he misplayed it (me thinks) and Chucky might be better now! :) I'm not 100% sure it's still an interesting R-ending. Vishy has a passed pawn on 'b7' but he's also a pawn down... |
 |
Jun-01-08
 | | Marmot PFL: Anand can try to win by bringing up his king. Black will have to sac his rook for b7 pawn and draw with kingside pawns. |
|
| Jun-01-08 | | malthrope: Update: It looks too dangerous for Vishy to attempt a winning try. He's <Vishy> repeating now (gain a little time on the clock) probably analysing the 'try' - it just looks too dangerous (Kc7 > Kb8 > Ka8). Nope 'no win' he had to take the draw! All equal again! :) |

| Jun-01-08 | | Kapell: Wow, draw. Fritz doesn´t agree and prefers white pieces... |
|
| Jun-01-08 | | malthrope: <Kapell: Wow, draw. Fritz doesn´t agree and prefers white pieces...> True - but you know computers and endgames! ~lol~ Let it run all night and see what it thinks! :) It looks drawn me as it appears to be far too dangerous for Vishy to attempt to win it... ;) |
|
| Jun-01-08 | | Kapell: yes, indeed... And now, are they playing the fourt one? |
|
| Jun-01-08 | | malthrope: Yes <Kapell> - probably will start in 5-10 minutes max. :) |
|
| Jun-01-08 | | pankajdaga: It has already started. |
|
| Jun-01-08 | | Method B: I believe the fourth has already started: it is Rubintstein Nimzo. <Anand (black to play)>:

| Jun-01-08 | | pankajdaga: Anand seems to be in a spot, it seems to me. |

 | | acirce: Ivanchuk wins quickly as Anand blunders. Has Anand played in any other rapid events than Amber and León this year? If he hasn't, then he is -2 in 2008. Pretty sensational for the Lightning Kid. |
|
| Jun-01-08 | | Method B: after 16 moves it is 1-0 to Chucky. Wow! |
|
| Jun-01-08 | | Kangaroo: Anand lost too quickly the last game. Bravo, Ivanchuk! |
|
| Jun-01-08 | | malthrope: Ah! Just started! Nimzo-Indian - Rubenstein Main Line 7... dxc4 8. Bxc4 Nbd7... And it's over!
Chucky is the new champ! :))

| Jun-01-08 | | Kapell: Ok, thank you very much malthrope! |
|
| Jun-01-08 | | kuna65: He may not be new WCH but chess oscar isn't out of reach ...
Congratulations! |
|
| Jun-01-08 | | square dance: ok, so in 2008 we've got kramnik losing multiple games with white and anand putting up minus scores in rapid. i wouldnt have put those two items on a hypothetical 'things that will happen in 2008' list. |
|
| Jun-01-08 | | gorash: Ivan "Unstoppable" Chuck strikes again |
|
| Jun-01-08 | | malthrope: <Kapell: Ok, thank you very much malthrope!> You're welcome! Chucky just appear to be completely unstopable, atm... When your 'hot' you're HOT! ;) |

| | Marmot PFL: I am not sure Anand had to draw the 3rd game. he may have had winning chances and miscalculated. He certainly messed up the last game. The Nimzo-Indian is about as solid as they get and to lose in 16 moves... |
|
| Jun-01-08 | | Kapell: Oh this Chucky is on fire! Now, Foros tournament!! Go Ivanchuk! |
|
| Jun-01-08 | | malthrope: <Marmot PFL: I am not sure Anand had to draw the 3rd game. [...]> At the end I believe it's drawn (it's far too dangerous to attempt a win). However, why didn't he play 44. Ra8+ (instead of 44. cxd3) 44... Ke7 45. b8=Q Rxb8 46. Rxb8 and try to win that ending? ;)

| Jun-01-08 | | malthrope: Ah, I see what I missed with this fast pace madhouse just Ne1+ at the end there and I don't think we can trap the knight... What do you think? :) |
