Mar-10-04		vishyanand: Why did Gelfand play ..35.bxc3??

Mar-13-04		Andrew Chapman: time trouble?

Nov-12-05		TopaLove: It´s interesting to watch Kasparov playing 6.c4, cause it´s not his usual continuation as White.

Nov-12-05		russep: What is his usual continuation as white??

Nov-12-05		TheParadigm: The last move should be 36. e5+

Nov-13-05		russep: I mean what is Kasparovs usual continuation as white agains the Najdorf

Nov-16-05		TopaLove: <russep> People don´t dare to play the najdorf agaisnt Kasparov. Though it´s more usual to see Kasparov playing 6.g5 or 6.e3

May-26-11		Richard Taylor: Gelfand played the Najdorf and as here he was winning!

May-26-11		Richard Taylor: He was at least= Gelfand played well until his blunder.

May-26-11		Richard Taylor: Morozevich vs Kasparov, 2001 Here is Kasparov playing the same var as Gelfand here and winning!

May-26-11		MaxxLange: Gazza was operating on a higher level, he just owned the Najdorf. Gelfand played very well, but he finally broke under the pressure. Time trouble may well have been a factor

Apr-16-12		Savarkar 22: How abt Qg5 as blacks next move...and y exactly is this position resignable can anyone explain

Apr-16-12		cjrubiks: It's reasonable because Gelfand is in check and will lose the queen.
