Aug-14-09  dumbgai: <percyblakeney: Six black wins in a row for Morozevich now, two in Biel (Gelfand and Ivanchuk) and four here.>

Truly remarkable. Only Morozevich... (and maybe Topalov)

Aug-14-09  Ladolcevita: <nuwanda>
thank you
Aug-14-09  percyblakeney: With one round to go Morozevich, Avrukh, Kuzubov and Areshchenko share the lead.
Aug-14-09  percyblakeney: Kuzubov is one of all those players born in 1990, he was ahead of Carlsen in the first three lists of 2005 but had a long plateau after that.
Aug-14-09  redwhitechess: another great sicilian win by moro. gm marin bosiocic vs gm hou yifan is draw by repetition. force by black, i think from the opening black is under pressure and many pawns hanging. nice game.
Aug-14-09  Fish55: Hess is having another great tournament, just 1/2 point back at 6-2!
Aug-15-09  nuwanda:

last round is on its way, go Moro go

...

Aug-15-09  percyblakeney: If Moro is awake this early anything can happen...
Aug-15-09  nuwanda: Avrukh plays fast and i'm sure these are all well known paths, but my computer already likes the white position after 9.Bxc4 Nxc4 10.e6

...

Aug-15-09  Ladolcevita: if you dont attack,would you lose?< Yifan's game....>
Aug-15-09  percyblakeney: Moro is crushing Avrukh here, unless something happens in time trouble.
Aug-15-09  percyblakeney: Maybe it did, 34. dxc5 was immediately winning.
Aug-15-09  percyblakeney: Moro has gone from +6 to worse in a few moves...
Aug-15-09  slomarko: i can't believe Moro missed 28.Qf6 and 34.dc5
Aug-15-09  percyblakeney: It's a repeat performance of the game against Vachier-Lagrave, easy win for Avrukh now.
Aug-15-09  percyblakeney: 33. ... c5 was probably just a final swindle try by Avrukh, hoping that Moro would miss that it's just to take the bishop with the rook after 34. dxc5 Bxc5 since Qd1+ Qf1 leaves black piece down with a lost position.
Aug-15-09  percyblakeney: Hou Yifan did well to finish even with Moro on 6.5 points.
Aug-15-09  redwhitechess: avruk the deserved winner. hou also finished the game with nice mating combo.
Aug-15-09  SimonWebbsTiger: I cannot help but think there is a little moral victory for the girls: Hou finished just above Giri!

I thought Moro played some truly entertaining games; but how on earth does one explain his implosion to Avrukh???

Aug-15-09  redwhitechess: will it be a play off between Avrukh and Areschenko?

after this is the Champion simuls and rapid. will the rapid game qualified to CG?

Aug-15-09  Ladolcevita: congrats to HouYifan!~~Not bad!~
Aug-15-09  dumbgai: There's nobody better than Moro at winning lost positions, or losing winning ones...
