Jun-24-03		refutor: clever finish for the fans of underpromotion...anything other than 39.f8=+ allows 39. ... g5#. also, why not kramnik's 9. ... xe4 that seems stronger than the text

Jun-24-03		AgentRgent: <Refutor> 39...Rg5+ isn't actually Mate since Kf6 is available.. however the end is near: 39...Rg5+ 40. Kf6 Rg3+ 41. Kf5 Rf3# will finish.

Jun-24-03		refutor: i'm sorry, is my face red...must've been thinking about something else ;)

Jun-25-03		caseyclyde: In the line 39...Rg5+ 40. Kf6 Rg3+ 41. Kf5 Rf3#, Rf3 is not mate since g4 is available. And after 39...Rg5+ 40. Kf6 Rg3+ white could play Kxf7.

Jun-25-03		huflix: Is she the wife of vasily Ivanchuk?

Jun-25-03		mandar: Is this Semi-Slav?? Yes then which variation?

Jun-25-03		Honza Cervenka: 39.c8=N+ is the most logical as black has no other move than 39...Rxc8, but 39.c8=Q would have won too as then all alternatives of 39...Rxc8 are even worse.

Jun-25-03		refutor: <mandar> this is the botwinnik variation of the semi-slav

Jun-25-03		paulalbert: Alisa Galliamova married Ivanchuk, but I think they are now divorced.

Apr-03-06		prinsallan: Spectacular finish by Swedens first lady ^^ Grattis Pia!

Apr-11-06		offramp: <paulalbert: Alisa Galliamova married Ivanchuk, but I think they are now divorced.> Their children are semi-Slavs.
