Apr-20-04		Queen killer: I'm surprised Anand fell to such a relatively simple attack

Apr-20-04		Jim Bartle: Well, 1986 is not 1995 or 2004...How old was Anand then?

Apr-20-04		ajit: Anand would be around 16

Apr-20-04		ArchBishop: Emms would be about 17

May-12-05		Gowe: Emms had 19 when he played this game

Aug-13-05		Knight13: Good play by both players. The endgame is interesting.

Aug-14-05		beatgiant: Yes, the endgame is interesting. At first sight, we expect Black to have a good counterattack since White's king is cut off. But it all depends on time. The best I could find is 39...d3 40. Rg3 Kc5 41. Rxd3 Rxg2 42. Rd2 Rg4 43. e5 fxe5 44. Rf2 but White still might be winning this.

Dec-18-05		Whitehat1963: Is it really impossible for black to promote one of those passed pawns at the end? What does Crafty think of the final position?

Dec-18-05		WannaBe: <Whitehat1963> Doesn't look like it, Shredder gives the best line for black is 47...Rxf8 48. Rxf8 Kd5 49. h4 Ke6 50. Rf1 e4 +8.50 (Infinite analysis)

Feb-29-08		hedgeh0g: http://youtube.com/watch?v=evZmpsl3... Emms was part of Derren Brown's "simultaneous exhibition", if anyone's interested.

Jun-09-09		WhiteRook48: what about getting the king over to help the d-pawn?
