| csmath: <<Thanks for this. Is the informed assessment that the B King is so more active and the B pawns so much further advanced>> Yes. One important thing in these endings is that black pawns are close to the center meaning it is easier to support them with the king. White pawns are on the edge and king that way has to stay on the edge to support the pawns. That is a problem. And worse, his king doesn't even have a good path toward the center because of his own pawns. Nevertheless I believe that without errors made Moro should have drawn the game. Ever worse, he had a serious advantage in the middlegame and he let it go. It must be very disappointing to him. |

| TIMER: <csmath> 31 Qg4 was winning. |
|

| csmath: Probably. Moro just wouldn't play it. |

| Gypsy: <TIMER> I think you are right: <31.Qg4> is a natural move that should win. Both, 31...Nd4 32.Rg2 Qf7 33.Bxa6..., and 31...Rfe8 32.h5... look convincing. |

| EmperorAtahualpa: Nice game of the day! Yet, I can't help but thinking that Morozevich really gave it all away this game. He certainly had his chances! |

| Mateo: 21. Qe2, 22. g5 and 23. Ba6 wins a pawn. It is not clear that this would be dangerous for the white king, despite the fact it opens the a-file for black. For instance : 21. Qe2 Qe7 22. g5 Nfd7 23. Ba6. |

|
| Mateo: 22... Rce8 is safer, as black does not lose material (23. Nb7 Qb7), but white is much better. Anyway, in both cases, I think Moro has a big advantage at that stage. |

|
| Mateo: 27. Ba6 looks good. There is no real attack for black. |

| Mateo: Better than 46. Qe1 seems 46. Qc4. And now we have a rook ending : 46... Qf3 47. Qg8 (with the threat Rh7) Rd1 48. Ka2 Qd5 49. Qd5 Rd5  /=. Another possible rook ending after 46. Qe4 Qe4 47. fe /=. |
|

|
| Mateo: 46. Ka2?!. Moro should try to get a draw now looking for a rook ending: 46. Qc1 Qc1 47. Rc1 Rf3 = . |
|

|
| Mateo: 49. Rc4? This time it is a serious mistake. 49. Qc4 =. |

| kevin86: At one time,white was pawns ahead,instead he runs into a checkmate. The pun is poor,but i think they are placing wc games on the gotd;frankly,i would like to see better games rather than better puns. |

| Pawn and Two: Fritz 8 also gives white a strong advantage at move 30. 30.h5 g5 31. Qg4 Kh8 32. Qf5 a5 33. Rd1 with threats on the Q file. (+1.67) 19 ply. |

| Hesam7: <OhioChessFan> LoL. That was a good one. |

| dhotts: The source of Moro's downfall was not taking control of the c-file with 40.Qc3. Then he needs to work on controlling the 7th rank if Black does not exhcange at least one rook. |
|
| Oct-06-05 |
| schnarre: If Black's kingside pawns could be locked down, then White should be able to promote the a or b pawn; I was looking at 38. R7c6 Qf5+ 39. Qe4 as a possibility. |

| DutchDunce: <By the way, Kasparov was thought to be the best 1.d4 player ever!> Sorry for missing the context a few pages back. I meant in the World Championship 1990 only. Out of 12 whites he started 11 with e4 and the 12th with Nf3. I was trying to establish that there could not have been any black wins with the KID in that match. There weren't any black wins in the tournament at all. Actually looking back at Hesam's original post, that Kaspy didn't use a single 1.d4 in the match was completely irrelevant. |

| euripides: Interesting pawn sacrifices by both players in the middlegame. Mihalevski on chesspublishing.com suggests 29...Nf4 is a mistake allowing 30 h5 with a powerful attack. |

 |
| patzer2: IMO 31. Nd5!? contributed significantly to Morozevich's loss in this game. By seeking a risky tactical solution, instead of the patient positional attacking alternative in 31. Qg4!, Morozevich sowed the seeds of his own defeat in this game. |

|
| patzer2: GM Shipov, in his analysis at http://www.chesspro.ru/events/sanlu..., supports 31. Qg4! as a win for White, attacking Black's weakened castled position. Fritz 8 gives the line 31. Qg4! Nd4 32. Rg2 Qf7 (32...Rg8 33. f4  ) 33. Bxa6 as a win for White. |
