< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 40 OF 95 ·  Later Kibitzing> Sep-07-11    Pyke: <Refused> Ah, I see now, nice idea by Svidler. Thanks for pointing that out. Sep-07-11    Hesam7: <Pyke: <Hesam7: OK Kamsky is the first goner. 26. ... Re2 was really nice I needed a long moment to see why 27. Qxe2 does not work.> Could you please give a continuation?> 27. Qxe2 Qg3! click for larger view And the mate on g2 can not be prevented. Sep-07-11    Pyke: Thanks as well <Hesam7>! Sep-07-11    paavoh: I have a nagging suspicion that Lenier may hold this, the Black pawns are disappearing at an alarming rate, and the pieces are nowhere near the White King. Sep-07-11    Kanatahodets: Why Judith is thinking? B:f4 is obvious. I guess she looks for unexpected movo so to dry Lenier out of time. Otherwise she gives him time to think. Sep-07-11    kellmano: Gold coin stuff from Svid. Some fascinating games today on many boards. Has anyone else seen Zherebuhk's picture on the whychess site (which i guess is an official picture)? It is most unflattering. Sep-07-11    Kanatahodets: In noromal circustances I'd agree that Lenier can hold this situation. But he has no time left. Sep-07-11    zluria: Potkin Blundered and Gris is winning! Yay!!! Sorry Potkin, but Gris is de man! Sep-07-11    Refused: We just learnt that Svidler is a fan of Doctor Who. (Well who isn't?) :) Sep-07-11    Kanatahodets: Lenier should exchange more pieces otherwise - no hope. Sep-07-11    Refused: And yes Grischuk's position looks promising. Sep-07-11    Kanatahodets: Intereistingly, Navara- Zherebyh position resembles Lenier-Judith. With one small detail - Navara is winning! Sep-07-11    Kanatahodets: Grischuk should double rocks and this is the end. Sep-07-11    Kanatahodets: Double rocks, move pawn a3 and exchange queens. then i dont see how Potkin can defend Sep-07-11    paavoh: Radjabov has only 7 minutes left in an even position for 14 moves. Can Jakovenko raise complications to bank on his time advantage? Perhaps not. Sep-07-11    Beholder: Svidler wipes out Kamsky 2-0! Absolutely fantastic play by the reigning Russian Champ! Sep-07-11    Kanatahodets: unbeliavable! Potkin - Gris - one more situation - Rock against two pieces as Lenier and Navara game! should Lenier then hold? even one small detail counts. Sep-07-11    kellmano: Svidler's English is incredibly good. Sep-07-11    Kanatahodets: ha Lenier exchanged two pieces, he has prospects. though Judith still has chances. Sep-07-11    Kanatahodets: Chucky in trouble... Sep-07-11    Beholder: Peter Svidler is therefore the first player to qualify for the Quarterfinals. Sep-07-11    Kanatahodets: This could be huge if Chucky lose. His position is quite bad, but Bu has three minutes left. So there is hope for blunder. Sep-07-11    Kanatahodets: Ke5 repetition, Bu kills time? or he is ready for draw??? Sep-07-11    Kanatahodets: Chucky accepts draw proposal; he moved bishop back - not surprisingly. But Bu still has a choice . He must win this! Sep-07-11    Beholder: <kellmano: Svidler's English is incredibly good.> Svidler's everything is incredibly good. Did you know he had once beaten USSR Billiards Champion at billiards? Jump to page #    (enter # from 1 to 95) < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 40 OF 95 ·  Later Kibitzing>
