Aug-15-08		whiteshark: The position is equal, but Shirov does not defend very accurately, allowing Grischuk to demonstrate the power of two well coordinated rooks in the attack click for larger view <29.Rd7+ Ke6 30.Rhd1 Rc6 31.Rxb7 Rg8?> The wrong way to activate the second rook as Black's rooks are now badly coordinated. click for larger view <31...Rhc8!=> was called for.

Aug-15-08		whiteshark: Correction: <31...Rg8!=> as in the game was o.k.!! I missed some resources: Activate the King with <32...Ke5!=> and Rd7 can not leave the d-file without allowing a Kd4 approach. click for larger view <No Pressure, no diamonds!>
