| Jan-30-05 | | arjunkakar: 11 moves draw - what a rip off. They shouldnt have bothered playing and waisting peoples time. |
|
| Jan-30-05 | | iron maiden: Until this game, the shortest draw in Corus was 19 moves. At least now we won't get all this garbage about how Morozevich always fights hard. |
|
| Jan-30-05 | | moroisthebest: Morozevich, clearly out of form, drew with black against the current world champ. I say there is nothing wrong with that. And no, he does not ALWAYS fight hard, just way more often than most players. |
|
| Jan-30-05 | | iron maiden: Of course there's "nothing wrong" with accepting a draw in Moro's position; most players would do it. This just does little to distinguish him from those players. |
|
| Jan-30-05 | | Karpova: kramnik took a deep look into the position just to discover that a clearly drawn endgame emerges on move 126! |
|
| Jan-30-05 | | csmath: Pittyful, and very much Kramnik-like.
Moro must have been under the shock of the loss in the previous round as it is known that he has special "feelings" for Kramnik and would not otherwise play a "peacefull" game. Well, hopefully some other time. |
|
| Jan-30-05 | | artemis: well considering the time in the tournament, neither player can really expect to get much out of a win in here, and the they were likely exhuasted and disappointed. I expected this game either to be fabulous, with both players going for broke since they had nothing to lose, or a quick draw since they had nothing to win. I guess they saw the game as the latter, unfrotunately, as a true struggle between these two would be very fun to watch. |
|
| Jan-30-05 | | suenteus po 147: Fighting it out might have been fun to watch, perhaps, and certainly preferable to a short draw for us, the chess fans, but it would never have been worth it to either player. |
|
| Jan-30-05 | | Akavall: I am so amazed with high quality of this game! Too bad the theory stops somewhere here probably, otherwise they would've played on till maybe move 25 and than agreed to the draw. This is high quality chess guys, no time-trouble or anything, just home preparation and a draw. I am a bit disappointed, not really with Moro, its alright to draw with black against a WC. Kramnik could have played on here, white seems better to me, but I am no GM or anything. |
|
| Jan-30-05 | | ranchogrande: g4 ,Qe3,Ng3 seems like a bit better for white to me. |
|
| Jan-30-05 | | Hidden Skillz: <iron maiden> i dont get ur joke..even with the shorest draw..he still holds the least draws in the tournament..btw im sure he coulda drawn some games he lost..its just not in his nature to draw quickly.. |
|
| Jan-30-05 | | vonKrolock: Let drawers draw!
<8...e6> Lékó vs Beliavski, Ubeda 1997 continued :
9. h4 Nc6
10. Bh2 Bd7
11. O-O-O Qe7
12. Qe3 a6
13. g4 Nf6
14. f3 O-O-O
15. Kb1 Kb8, etc, 1/2-1/2 in 45 moves
<9.0-0-0> Smells like novelty, but it ocurred in a lesser known game Neulinger vs Poropat, Faaker See 2003, whith the sequence
9...Nc6
10. Kb1 Qe7
11. d5 Ne5
12. Nd4 a6
13. Be2 Nxg3
14. hxg3 Bd7 etc and eventually drawn too
< 11.hg > The Draw offer is tempting: Black will have also to Castle long, and White have anyway clearer prospects of lasting pressure over 'h6', using moreover 'h5' as a safe basis... |
|
| Jan-31-05 | | arjunkakar: my opinion of kramnik has suffered a blow with this. moro is fine - he is a lower player playing black. but kramnik??? what a loser. |
|
| Jan-31-05 | | Where is my mind: #3 playing #5 .Moro's not that low.
<vonKrolock>'s post succintly explains the result. |
|
| Jan-31-05 | | euripides: I suppose you could say they primed the canvas. |
|
| Jan-31-05 | | aw1988: I guess they both realized they could no longer win the tournament, so they decided just to grab a quick draw. |
|
| Feb-01-05 | | acirce: <Oh yes, the Virus. With players coming in from all over the world, somebody was bound to import a bug that loved this climate and spread with great enthusiasm from player to player, from visitor to visitor. Hardly anyone was spared. Each day someone did not appear in the press room, and players would turn up redeyed and haggard. During the last round Vladimir Kramnik was in influenza mode and had no fight left in him.> <Kramnik-Morozevich was an unsurprising eleven-move draw. The classical chess world champion had obviously caught the bug and feeling miserable. Alexander Morozevich had been in a similar state all throught the tournament, not due to a viral attack but for a monumental lack of form. He was glad to get a quick draw with the black pieces, pack his bags and head for the hills.> http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...
I can't believe how low Chessbase has sunk. Now they have even joined the big conspiracy designed to fool the world that Kramnik is sick!? |
|
| Feb-01-05 | | JohnBoy: <csmath> - what sort of relationship is there between Kramnik and Moro? Give me the soap-opera details! (serious - I'm a gossip w-word today and know nothing of this... gad, I can't believe they bleep out w h o r e) |
|
| Feb-01-05 | | Akavall: <acirce> Maybe Kramnik really was sick, just a flu, this sure is possible. <Struck by the flu: Vladimir Kramnik before the last round in Wijk> also from http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... |
|
| Feb-04-05 | | OverDjinn: Yes, the motivations for this draw were obviously not concerning the position which is anything but drawish. |
|
| Feb-04-05 | | maoam: <Akavall>
I think you'll find that <acirce> was being sarcastic. Look at his avatar and history of posts supporting Kramnik. |
|
| Feb-04-05 | | Clubfoot: Chessbase wasn't trying to make excuses for the world champion. A lot of the players were sick as dogs throughout Corus, especially Grischuk during the first three rounds. And Moro probably just wanted to get lost after a kidney stone of a tournament. |
|
| Apr-03-05 | | Dionyseus: What a great and deep game, I'm adding it to my collection. |
|
| Aug-31-05 | | Arquetipal: Kramnik said after this game:
Im very exhausted because of the Mini-Match i played with Leko, so leave me alone, im too tired" |
|
| Sep-04-05 | | yoozum: How on Earth is this game on of Moro's notable games? |
