Dec-20-03		patzer2: Kramnik gets the better of this Pelikan Sicilian against Polgar, but the two pawn advantage in the end game is not good for more than a draw in this opposite color bishops ending.

Dec-20-03		Dick Brain: Thanks. That final fortress is especially convincing. I have always wondered whether I should take up the Sveshnikov defense.

Oct-06-05		aw1988: I prefer 15...f5, with the idea Bxf5, Be6, Rc8.

Oct-06-05		who: Why not 32.Bb5

Oct-06-05		who: Howell points out that in opposite colored bishop endings 2 connected passed pawns aren't as useful as 2 isolated ones in going for the win.

Oct-07-05		aw1988: Bb5 Rc1 should draw

Oct-07-05		who: I just think it would be an easier draw is all.

Dec-28-05		aw1988: 15...f5 would lose the exchange! !@#$%^!!!

Mar-15-06		Topzilla: Intensely played.
