< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 170 OF 192 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-06-09    visayanbraindoctor: Ivanchuk looks completely winning. He is not only a pawn up, but has a safer King and a better bishop. Mar-06-09    Sergius64: He can win a piece now too. Mar-06-09    siamesedream: f4 played by Carlsen Mar-06-09    littleboy: It looked winning for Anand in the end isn't it ??? Mar-06-09    visayanbraindoctor: Did Aronian just blunder away a piece? Rc4 blocks the mating threat. Mar-06-09    VaselineTopLove: Had it been Topalov or Carlsen in place of Grischuk, Anand might not have survived today's game. Mar-06-09    justinbel: 1-0 ivanchuk!!! Mar-06-09    Karpova: Aronian resigned Mar-06-09    siamesedream: Ivanchuk - Aronian 1-0 Mar-06-09    ajile: Chucky's now up there baby! Mar-06-09    mindanalyzer: yue-dominguez????????????????? Mar-06-09    visayanbraindoctor: Anand was really lucky in today's game. If he allows that kind of position against Topalov in their upcoming WC Match, Toppy would crunch him. Grischuk's propensity for time trouble is now backfiring on him. Mar-06-09    YouRang: Congrats to Anand for escaping with a draw. When I tuned in, I saw this position: click for larger view I figured Anand (black) was toast. I can only guess that Grischuk chose an attacking line that was too slow. Mar-06-09    chessya11: Agh. Aronian had historically been one of Ivanchuk's favorite targets, but in recent years he had just about evened the score. Looks like Chucky wants to go back to old times. Mar-06-09    YouRang: It's looking like we may have a 3-way tie for first going into the final round (if Carlsen wins). :-O Mar-06-09    YouRang: <mindanalyzer: yue-dominguez?????????????????> After 37 moves [diagram: white to move] click for larger view Eval: 0.00 Mar-06-09    khursh: <chessya11:> We can also state the same from the opposite side <<Aronian has some troubles playing with Ivanchuk which he solved recently. seems he is back to his fears and problems playing with Ivanchuk>> Mar-06-09    parmetd: what a day! Mar-06-09    visayanbraindoctor: Wang vs Dominguez - no obvious way for either side to progress.. Except by blundering. Mar-06-09    Sergius64: Yue-Dominguez looks like Dominguez is better. But Engines see draw in it. Mar-06-09    achieve: I think Carlsen has winning chances, the speed of the rook may prove deciding. But fatigue is playing a major role now for both, and accurate calc will now prevail. Still some way to go in this game. Mar-06-09    siamesedream: Now Carlsen has time to win this. Mar-06-09    visayanbraindoctor: Carlsen looks as though he is about to gobble all of Black's Queenside pawns. A knight isn't any good to defend pawns in an open position. So it should be 1 - 0 pretty soon. Mar-06-09    parmetd: Carlsen played Rc8. Isn't Ra1 better where black loses a pawn immediately. On Rc8 doesn't Nd2 Nc4 maneuver start to provide some defense. In any case I think black is still dead lost. Mar-06-09    YouRang: <Carlsen-Radjabov> click for larger view The computers given white an eval over 3.00, but from just looking at the position, it doesn't look so obvious. Those passed pawns look dangerous, and one misstep could turn it around. Jump to page #    (enter # from 1 to 192) < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 170 OF 192 ·  Later Kibitzing>
