Apr-06-06		Mameluk: I have a strong suspicion that the 26th and 27th move did not happen.

Apr-06-06		blingice: Why has black won? Black seems more precarious to me.

Apr-06-06		pawn to QB4: Count the rooks and it becomes clearer. I've done this goof myself: White relies on 32.Qa8 mate, except it's not.

Apr-06-06		blingice: Ah yes, you're right, I forgot completely about the rook. It seems like such a sacrifice would be better calculated.

Apr-07-06		Theologue: 30. Rf3 is the blunder. There was no need to put it there.

Apr-08-06		k0mi: i did a quick analysis with Fritz9 below. D46: Semi-Slav: 5 e3 Nbd7 6 Bd3, Black avoids the Meran 1. Nf3 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 d5 4. d4 c6 5. e3 Nbd7 6. Qc2 Bd6 7. Bd3 O-O 8.

Apr-08-06		thesonicvision: 26. Rd7? how is this playable? is there a queen trap i'm missing or something? i don't see any compensation for the rook and it's giving me a headache.

Feb-06-08		Knight13: 26. Rd7? Yeah what the hell.

Feb-06-08		Resignation Trap: As <Mameluk> suspected, 26.Rd7?? Rde8?? 27.Rd6?? Rd8 simply didn't happen. Skip to move 28!

Feb-07-08		virginmind: so apparently the only reason for danailov's 30.Rf3 (instead of, for example, 30.g4 which admittedly weakens white king's position a bit, but avoids losing material) was his hope that nisi would fail to see the "mate" on a8 and so he would also grab with 31...R:d4. which leaves us with 2 questions: 1. how could a 2462 elo player not see that the d8 point is double protected so no mate is possible on a8? and 2. since when a 2462 elo player relies on hopes for mistakes of the other side? i thought chess is played counting the best move possible of the other side, not on his mistakes(not to mention the mistake was only in danailov's head).
