Dec-29-04		Chessical: Sasikiran plays what is probably the most accurate line of Chigorin Defence to the Ruy Lopez: <12...cxd4 13....Nc6 14...a5> 17....Rac8 is less often played than 17...Rfc8 18.Bd3 Qb7 (or 18...Rab8); or 17...Rfe8 18.Bd3 Qb7 Huebner vs Korchnoi, 1981 I D MacKay vs E Torre, 1982 Morozevich vs Bacrot, 2002 Sasikiran's counterplay is based on attacking the isolated pawn on <a3> <25.Bxc4> is no better than the move played, 25... bxc4 26.Nxc4 Qa6 27.Nfxe5 Be6 28.Rc1 Rxc4 29.Rxc4 Bd6 30.Rc2 Qxe2 31.Rxe2 Bxe5 = <32.Qf3> Qe7 =

Dec-29-04		chesscookie: I like how both players have wiped out all the pawns on the queenside. It looks squeaky clean ;)
