| EmperorAtahualpa: <gchristopher> My comment about 36.Bc4 was not in any way related to your suggestion 27.Bc4. But now that we are on the topic anyways.... I am certainly not the most visionary chess-player around here, but I think 27.Bc4 would make a very good move. Perhaps you should ask guys like <Honza Cervenka>, <ray keene> or <Eric Schiller>. |

| kevin86: A strange finish-while white's rook cannot break through the barricade of black pawns,as the black rook keeps the king away-black's b-pawn can happily march home. The pawn is mightier than the sword. |

| tpstar: The vague pun reminds me of a famous sports headline = "Trojans to Face Seminoles With Peters Out" Good game. ;>D |

| notsodeepthought: <tpstar> Talk about a wardrobe malfunction. Hopefully the game wasn't televised. |

| schizoidman: <patzer2>, It is common to allow pictures at the beginning of the round. If you will notice, only one move had been played on the board at the time of the photo. |

| patzer2: <schizoidman> Thanks for the tip. I haven't attended any GM tournaments in person, and the protocol you describe makes sense. |

| alexandrovm: in move 15, what if white takes with the pawn, not with the queen. Is it the same thing? |
|

| bishopawn: <gchristopher>, That move, 27.Bc4 looks like a possibility. I am wondering if Topalov came back with 27...d5, questioning the bishop, re-opening the file, would it hurt his position. |

| patzer2: <tpstar> Just curious. I'm an FSU Seminole alumnus, and was wondering if you had a source for your famous headline. I've seem one attributed to the Gators but never the Trojans, though FSU did play and defeat Southern Cal in women's soccer this year and in men's football in 1997. |

|
| tpstar: <patzer2> Oops, you must be right. I probably blocked out the mental image involving snapping 'Gators. ;>D |

| WannaBe: I believe <tpstar>'s memory might be a little off, check out this web-site, go to the bottom "In the News" 4th headline from Tallahassee Bugle. http://www.humormatters.com/newspap...
But I do have to admit, (Being a Bruin) that if 'SC had played FSU with Peters Out, that would be even funnier. =) |

| headmutant7: <gchristopher> 27.Bc4 looks like a winner to me. Every way I played it out I think White winds up a whole piece up. I thought it was the right move before I read anyone's notes so I'm glad someone else saw it. It not only smothers the Black rook it puts pressure on the e-pawn. Does anyone see a refutation? |

| OneArmedScissor: Why not <16. gxf3>? |

| dazone3: <OneArmedScissor: Why not <16. gxf3>?> I was shocked when Svidler didn't play 16. gxf3. Upon a bit of calculation, I found 16. gxf3  xc3+
17. bxc3  xc3+
18. d2 (18. e2  d4+!) xa1+
And with material even (black's 2 minor pieces traded for 2 white pawns and a rook), white's terrible kingside pawn structure and unsafe king position yields a large advantage to black. Svidler's decision to take the knight with his queen and move his king to d1 keeps the game tricky. |

| alexrawlings: Would there be anything wrong with the move 35... Rxg2? |
|

| tamar: <alexrawlings> from the tournament book <Also black has no interest in 35...Rxg2 36 Ne3 Rxd3+ 37 Kxd3 Rh2, as neither side can win here: 38 Nd1 Rxh3 39 Ke3 Rh2 (39...Rg3?! 40 Rh1) 40 Nf2 With such a rook, Black cannot hope for anything.> San Luis 2005 GM Alik Gershon and Igor Nor |
