< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 17 OF 19 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-06-12    fisayo123: Then Giri wins?? Jan-06-12    kellmano: yup. great tourney Jan-06-12    kellmano: Giri must be feeling great. I'm assuming this isn't one of those positions where comp. evals are misleading. Jan-06-12    kellmano: Vitiugov may struggle with the 50 move rule I suppose. Or perhaps there is just no way to make progress. Mate might be difficult so long as black has the spare tempo to flick the bishop from d1 - e2 and back. Any theoreticians out there? Naka just looks busted. Jan-06-12    kellmano: Moro can also make the occasional annoying check on d3! Jan-06-12    spawn2: congrats to the organizers and players. Lots of blood letting..Red Cross will be proud! Jan-06-12    boz: Vitiugov Moro should be a draw because if Vit sacs the exchange to win the blsck pawn on f3, the black king will immediately take the opposition on f5. Unless there is some subtle zugzwang manoeuver, I can't see how White can make progress. Jan-06-12    AuN1: <boz: Vitiugov Moro should be a draw because if Vit sacs the exchange to win the blsck pawn on f3, the black king will immediately take the opposition on f5. Unless there is some subtle zugzwang manoeuver, I can't see how White can make progress.> tablebases say mate in 30 http://chessok.com/?page_id=361 Jan-06-12    boz: Actually, I retract my earlier statement. Maybe Vitiugov can win this. Jan-06-12    boz: Thanks Aun1, I was beginning to realize I was wrong. Jan-06-12    brankat: Hi guys! Is Giri-Caruana game over? If so, how did it end? Thank You. Jan-06-12    boz: <brankat: Hi guys! Is Giri-Caruana game over? If so, how did it end? Thank You.> draw Jan-06-12    brankat: Thank You very much. Jan-06-12    kellmano: That's how it's done Boz. Giri clear winner with a draw. Who'd've thunk it? Jan-06-12    technical draw: Morozevich blew it... Jan-06-12    technical draw: Giri wins it... Jan-06-12    AuN1: <kellmano: That's how it's done Boz. Giri clear winner with a draw. Who'd've thunk it?> the two sweetest words in the english dictionary: de fault! de fault! Jan-06-12    boz: <kellmano: That's how it's done Boz.> Yes, I hadn't seen that there was a way to keep the black king so far from the pawn while avoiding harassing moves from the bishop. Well done by Vitiugov. Jan-06-12    AuN1: < technical draw: Morozevich blew it...> it looked like he had a win earlier too which makes his defeat that much more bitter. Jan-06-12    technical draw: And Chucky is going to beat Nakamura...Great tournament! Jan-06-12    AuN1: it's official: giri wins. probably the biggest win of his career. Jan-06-12    Gryz: Congratulations to Anish for winning the tournament. Amazing finish. Big thanks to Ivanchuk and Vitiugov. Jan-06-12    ketchuplover: Kudos to herr Giri :) Jan-06-12    BadKnight: who would have thought +2 would be the clear winner? Jan-06-12    fisayo123: Incredible tournament. One of the best in recent times. Congrats to Anish! Jump to page #    (enter # from 1 to 19) < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 17 OF 19 ·  Later Kibitzing>
