| Feb-28-05 | | Weadley: BLACK is taking alot of time studying his demise! |
 |
| Feb-28-05 | | samikd: how long is Garry thinking on this move ? |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | Stevens: <cat> now just swap the ":"'s for "x"'s and you'll be bang on! we'll all love your notation, your variations, your ideas, your whiskers etc etc |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | Stevens: i bet Kasparov is pulling some fantastic facial expressions at the moment |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | arifattar: Stevens: <cat> . Reminds me of a singer of a past era. |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | catfriend: Such long a pondering can mean two things:
Kasparov either feels he's dead lost and tries urgently to find a way to draw, or, unlikely as it may seem, he sees an interesting way to fight back, a risky and desperate one. |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | bobbyboomer: If you look at the pictures of both players along side the board it kinda tells you what is going on in this game. |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | samikd: <catfriends> I dont think Black is 'dead lost' by any means. White is perhaps a slightly better positionally, but B's Bishop pair gives him enough hope. I think Garry is thinking hard on how to conjure up a mating attack |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | arifattar: Nothing wrong with the feed I suppose <chessgames> |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | Stevens: <arifattar> you're on rare form today!! |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | catfriend: <samikd> That's what I hoped for, but this attack, whatever it looks like, must indeed be swift and good, 'cause black has less than 90 secs per move. |

 | | Fiberking: Hi everybody, just in. I think, obviously, white has an edge. Yet, it looks drawish to me. Seems to me Kasparov is thinking for so long to make sure the 'edge' does not turn into a big edge. I think it will prove hard to convert the white b pawn march into a winning march. At some point down the line, black will create some counter play in the center and/or on the king side. |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | jim rindgen: Kasparov's clock is dangerouly low! |
|
Feb-28-05
 | | chessgames.com: The feed is working. |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | arifattar: Yes <stevens>. I am enjoying it. |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | Stevens: <bobbyboomer> yes, Anand looks like he's sitting across the dinner table from a loved one, giving it the Vishy charm offensive. The old smoothy... Mind you, if you've seen his favourite jumper he normally wears he needs all the help he can get. |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | samikd: as I anticipated, Black is exchanging his Bishop for the d5 N |
|

 | | Mating Net: Anybody know how long Kasparov took to make that move? It must have been 20 minutes. |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | yunis: Kasparov going to exchange his black bishop'have no good squares'against the strong knigts especially on d5 |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | Stevens: He's moved!!! |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | Granite: With the time trouble Black's getting into I expect Anand to win this even if it's objectively drawn. Great to see Kasparov struggling :) |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | samikd: c4 may be ? |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | WillC21: Kasparov, as usual, is in time trouble of sorts. Unfortunetly, the position is drawn...any super GM can draw this position. |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | Chris00nj: I don't think Anand will have enough, but Gary is getting into time trouble. What's with all the GMs playing the Sveshnikov (or the Kalashnikov as I call it) these days? I always regarded it as quite inferior due to the weak d6 pawn and the strong d5 square? |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | anxiousbobby: Is Garry trying for a blockade on the queen side?? With a Ra8?? |
