Thanks |
|
| Apr-08-09 | | DCP23: Gelfand saves the draw, perhaps my judgement was too hasty. |
|

| | PhilFeeley: They're in time trouble now. Moves coming too fast to update positions. I'll give one at move 40. |
|
| Apr-08-09 | | DCP23: Natalia Pogonina wins another game, she's on +2 now with no losses and looks like her team ABC will get the 2nd place. The invincible Spartak team that can afford to have Kateryna Lahno on the last board will of course get the gold. |

| Apr-08-09 | | DCP23: Volokitin beats Movsesian on the black side of the Petroff! Very interesting endgame, too. Now normally I'd be impartial in a game between Movsesian and Volokitin but today I was actually rooting for Movsesian because he is Svidler's teammate. Too bad. |

Whats better than this? |

couldn't tomashevsky just force a winning king-pawn endgame with Re6+?
i just played a quick line against fritz and won it easily. |

| | PhilFeeley: Caruana wins another one! He's ahead of Ivanchuk in rp, I think. |
|
| Apr-09-09 | | hand banana: my bad, i didn't let it "think" enough. it was a draw after all. |

?? ivanchuk's:
Rating performance: 2631
caruana's:
Rating performance: 2811
and that was all before today's round, in which caruana won against 2724 player, and ivanchuk drew 2623. |

b4, with c3 next, and after Kxc3, Kf5 holds the draw |

What a game! A 5-move draw! Incredible. |

| Apr-09-09 | | Udit Narayan: <chessmoron> Fischer was right about the collusion at Curacao after all. |

A nice game no doubt. But I don't blame them.

Russian Team Championship Women Dagomys/Sochi (7), 09.04.2009 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Be7 1/2
Now what's really funny about that game is that Playchess software identifies the opening as "C84: Closed Ruy Lopez: Unusual White 6th move". Unusual 6th move indeed. |
