  WBP: <Aronian has won the match. It does not matter much to him whether he wins this game, draws it or even loses it.> True enough, though I'm sure a victory would seal it up nicely for him.

  virginmind: astardis: actually, he said his relations with korcinoi depend on whether or not the latter slept well during the night.
May-06-07  DUS: <astardis>, <virginmind> thanks for interesting postings. I think Karpov is one of the nicest champions.
May-06-07  doremi: <actually, he said his relations with korcinoi depend on whether or not the latter slept well during the night.> It appears that their relationship depends on whether they both have taken their anti-acid tablets for the day
May-06-07  DUS: <adair10: <ArmeniaNL: hey folk get up post your comments, do not sleep>

People don't have the same motivation. Even Aronian looks sleepy in this game.>

<adair10> yes, no motivation any more. Nice to see you, and read your nice comments.

  Ulhumbrus: One point of 53 Kg1 is that the a6 pawn is a knight's move away from the coronation square of the b7 pawn, and as a result the Black Queen cannot take the a6 pawn, 53...Qxa6 being answered by 54 b7-b8/Q. This resource seems useful to know about.

May-06-07  Davolni: 2 interesting games for today. I missed the first one. I am glad in this complex games there was no blunders:)

May-06-07  Davolni: God bless Aronian and doremi too::)
