Sep-30-05  azaris: Moro has his Alekhine's Gun all mixed up.
Sep-30-05  THE pawn: depth=8 +1.59 Rd5 Qf3 Bd4
Sep-30-05  euripides: Black might consider 46...Qg2 (threatening Re4) 47 Nd2 Rxd2 48 Qxd2 (Kxd2 Bd4) Qxg3. He probably doesn't need a combination like this but it might be the most efficient way to win.
Sep-30-05  Saruman: Rd7 why not Qg2?!
Sep-30-05  THE pawn: <hesam> well, for once your fruit engine didn't give 0.00!
Sep-30-05  PARACONT1: <shr0pshire> I can get into freechess.org but there's NO free games. They just link you to the official site where it's pay per view. Can you give clearer directions how to view the games on freechess?
Sep-30-05  avidfan: 47...Bd4 next?
Sep-30-05  Saruman: lets fire up sigmachess 6.1 and i'll have a look =)
Sep-30-05  thomaspaine: <PARACONT1> This is NOT the page for asking about viewing other games, as has been said many times. PLS stop posting here.
Sep-30-05  THE pawn: hum, Rd7 wasn't the best move, Rd5 was a tiny bit better, but I don't think it really changes something in the end Now moro should play Qf3 Qa6 Kf1
Sep-30-05  forgacs: Can someone please tell me on which website one can view the anand and adams game for free?

  Hesam7: <THE Pawn> LoL
Sep-30-05  CAPA2422: You said black wins a minute ago.

YUNIS. You say white is winning.
Then you say black is winning.
Now you say draw.

That would be fine except you make fun of others!!

Stop posting please.

GOODNIGHT!

Joe

  sofouuk: PARACONT1 its free on playchess.com but you have to download the software - bit of a faff
Sep-30-05  PARACONT1: Forgive me <ThomasIsAPain> for being naturally enthusiastic about wanting to view the exciting games. Sorry to the rest, too. Don't come here often and didn't see any posts abt not being able to ask abt it here.
Sep-30-05  Fezzik: Moro's found a way to free up his minor pieces and his rook! Just trade queens! Of course, Topalov doesn't have to trade. This may be the key moment in the game.
Sep-30-05  ughaibu: The Pawn: what's the point of h5 in that line?
Sep-30-05  64senses: forgacs and parcount1--http://web.t-online.hu/passant/sakk...- kvb.htm. u can watch anand games and also the other games here.. instead of the alphabet d, please try a,b,c for other three games.
Sep-30-05  PARACONT1: <sofouuk> Thanks a mil, pal. Glad some ppl are still helpful.
Sep-30-05  itsmenow: Moro looks strong and well protected.
He needs to spread his knights to put pressure.

Time might play a big role in this game...
Topalov on the other hand is somehow tired from yestarday's battle.

Sep-30-05  TheSlid: My view is that white has a rubbish position. Only the c4 Knight looks good.

Fritz 8 says that Black is winning by 1.5 pawns.

  Hesam7: It seems that the White king should go back to the king side.

@ THE Pawn: Fruit eval: -1.15 @ depth 17
