Mar-14-04  Benjamin Lau: Kramnik exploited 8...g6?! in fine fashion.

  Hesam7: Very impressive play from Kramnik. Does anybody know the time control of this game?

  tamar: < Does anybody know the time control of this game?> I don't know specifically, but Dortmund 1995 played under classical time controls.

Kramnik notes that Short's move
21...Rad8?! came under time pressure.

He gives some 3 nice alternatives that also lose, of which I quote 2:

21...Ba6 22 Nf4! Bxf1 23 Nxg6!! fxg6
24 Be6+ Kh8 25 Qxg6 and Black has no defence

Or 21...Bh6 22 Bxe6! fxe6 23 Qg6+ Qg7
24 Qxh5 Bxg5 25 hxg5

Oct-29-05  Poisonpawns: A brilliancy from Kramnik 22.Bxe6!! is worth checking out.

May-14-12  ChessMystery: Why 8...g6?Can anyone explain?
May-14-12  LoveThatJoker: <ChessMystery> Here is what Kramnik has to say of 8...g6,

"Black effectively gives up the fight for complete equality, which could have been initiated by 8...c5."

- Kramnik from "Kramnik: My Life and Games"

LTJ>

I'm confused. Does the Guess-the-Move game automatically post your performance? I keep seeing these pop up all over the place.

Jul-14-12  LoveThatJoker: <tonsillolith> I like to post them on the games so as to publicly establish what my score was.

G-T-M does not automatically post them.
