Jun-19-04		azaris: Adams wrapped up his game 1-0

Jun-19-04		James D: Are they covering any more games today?

Jun-19-04		chessgames.com: You can see the results of all finished games, and see live games in progress here http://wcc2004.fide.com/round.asp Adams won his game; the only decisive game so far.

Jun-19-04		acirce: Still curious about 19.Kd2, will have to look more at that.

Jun-19-04		pawn52: Vey good game. I've got to go now, gotta catch some zz's. Have a good day everybody.

Jun-19-04		karnak64: I'd like to thank Mr. Keene for sharing his perspective on this board -- a genuine pleasure to hear from one of his insight and experience. It made me glad I got up and logged on this morning.

Jun-19-04		Franz the Stampede: draw then! is it possible that topalov game is only at move 13?

Jun-19-04		chessgames.com: This page will disappear in a few minutes but you will be able get to it from the homepage where it will be a normal game that you can step through move by move.

Jun-19-04		ray keene: blacks 27/bd2 was a brilliant way to keep one pair of rooks on the board after which black was ok

Jun-19-04		acirce: Both Rublevsky, Vallejo and Beliavsky only drew.

Jun-19-04		acirce: <is it possible that topalov game is only at move 13? > Yes, that game started later.

Jun-19-04		mack: What about 11. f3 then? What happens then?

Jun-19-04		Gypsy: <ray keene: blacks 27/bd2 was a brilliant way to keep one pair of rooks on the board after which black was ok> Thanks for pointing that out. (I was just pondering that very issue.)

Jun-19-04		crafty: 19. ♔d2 ♖d8 20. ♕xd3 ♖xd5 21. ♕xa6 ♗xa6 22. ♔e3 (eval 0.48; depth 13 ply; 750M nodes)

Jun-19-04		acirce: <ray keene> suggested 19. Kd2 Nxb2!? If crafty likes to use his brain maybe he could take a look at that. Maybe starting with 20.Qxa6 specifically since <Gabriella> gave a convincing line on 20.Kc2.

Jun-19-04		lek: Obviously, Black had the pressure from the opening and up to the very last moves. It was a very good job by Magnus to hold the fort, and I thought he had good chances to take the initiative. But Aronian cleverly managed to draw the game. Very exciting game and I think both players performed well. Aronian was extremely dangerous. Now it's difficult for Magnus to win. We'll see tomoroow.

Jun-20-04		hollowone: So now that Aronian's strategy is revealed, is there any explanation for the move 17 ... b6?!

Jun-20-04		PinkPanther: <hollowone> Probably just trying to "dupe" Carlsen into taking that pawn on d5 so that his pieces could begin to get very active and start checking the white king.

Jun-21-04		acirce: This game made it up to place 6 on "most kibitzed pages" ChessGames.com Statistics Page

Aug-06-14		filip10: why black didn't take the pawn on 12 ... Nxg3 ?

Aug-06-14		MountainMatt: <filip10>: If 12...Nxg3, white plays 13. Qf2 and black loses the knight.
