Oct-08-05  ARTIN: great psychological pressure on Anand. take the draw or play a position that his opponent loves.
Oct-08-05  ennar: can anyone translate? (hungarian): Szerintem Anand folytatni fogja, és nem fog beismételni Vg3-Vf3-mal
Oct-08-05  mikhail28: c this d4xe5 d6Xe5; Qg3+ Qxe5

  Sneaky: D'oh. Disregard my computer analysis. I'll try putting in the REAL position and see how that changes its analysis.
Oct-08-05  MaxxLange: yalie: that looks playable to me
Oct-08-05  awalters869: after Qg3+, then f4 to open the f file and bring the KR into the frey. i think white has all the activity here and it is black who must now defend
Oct-08-05  aluanand: hi guys < i am a little late here, so can u tell me that who is winning?> i think that blach has an edge with a piece up? plzz help
Oct-08-05  Kriegspiel: <yalie> Yes, but only after Rd1 to seize the file.
Oct-08-05  chessic eric: <ChessLeader> if rook activity is what you want, Qg3+ and f4! opens lines, especially attacking f6 after fxe5 or ...dxe4, cxd4 and subsequent d5
Oct-08-05  hintza: <Sneaky> And there was me thinking I had refuted the mighty computer's analysis... :)

  Hesam7: <Sneaky> in your line 19. g3 is NOT forced!
Oct-08-05  HammerTime: Kn c4 can wait
Oct-08-05  sicilian: anand can do a rooklift
Oct-08-05  Aseem: I completely agree with you wolfdog regarding Topalovs confidence like Fischer
Oct-08-05  winter 1963: I think we can expect a GOOD long think from Anand now. We're already a decent way into that long think.

  Pawn and Two: Fritz 8 suggests either 15 Qg3+ or Rfd1 as = (.00) 15 ply
Oct-08-05  ChessWizzy: Did topa offer "draw" ??
Oct-08-05  pavkata: i don't see how white can bring any of his pieces into any type of attack...i'm guessing that if anand doesn't find a anything, he'll force a draw
Oct-08-05  colles: <hintza> don't you see white is a piece short?
Oct-08-05  chessic eric: <<hintza>: People are all too quick to say "draw" rather than give the opinion that the position is level, balanced. There's a difference between that and a draw.> I agree completely.

  ketchuplover: iz 15.h3 plausible?
Oct-08-05  sellappa: I do see that computer also says 'dead equal' by giving points =(0.00) inspite of topalov's bishop advantage. what is so advantagious about white's position that equals a bishop power? any one?
Oct-08-05  MaxxLange: If 15. Qg3+ Kh7 16.f4, Junior gives a big plus to Black after 16...exd4.
