| Oct-14-05 | | messachess: Good play for black, forcing the Q exchange. Kasim's the kind of player willing to grind to the end for any possibility of a draw. |

|
| Oct-14-05 | | Dionyseus: Kasim is once again defending very well.
Analysis by Shredder 9.1 UCI:
45.Bb5 Kh6 46.h4 Ng6 47.Kg1 Nxh4 48.Rg4 Ng6
(3.16) Depth: 20/37 00:00:26 13839kN

 | | YouRang: What is best here? 45. Rg4 or Rg7+? |
|
| Oct-14-05 | | messachess: From now on, this game's shaping up to be a classic end game study. Couldn't be two better opponents for it. |
|
| Oct-14-05 | | Dionyseus: Shredder 9.1 now believes 45...Kh6 is black's best defense:
45...Kh6 46.h4 Rc8 47.Rf1 Nxg2 48.Rxg2 Rxc3 49.Kg1 Bxg2 50.Kxg2 Kg6 51.Be2
(3.05) Depth: 20/20 00:00:32 17388kN

 | | tamar: Kasim's best bet after 45 Bb5 is to win the f6 pawn with ...Kh6 and ...Nh5, Nh5xf6, but still lost. |
|
| Oct-14-05 | | hayton3: The white bishop limits the mobility of the knight |
|
| Oct-14-05 | | messachess: White has pawn weadnesses, but are they nullifying? |
|
| Oct-14-05 | | Monoceros: With 45. ... Kh6, seems to me that Black deprived himself of a future ... Rg8, trading off the White KR and removing one of the g2 pawn's defenders. |
|
Oct-14-05
| | YouRang: Interesting! Kasim wants to trade 2 pieces for a rook and 2 pawns. |
|
| Oct-14-05 | | xenophon: am i missing something here?that looks tantamount to resigning. |
|

| | tamar: Neither player wants to give the impression they are hurrying in any way, but you know both want to depart San Luis quickly. Leko is probably opening an apple juice very slowly and Kasimdzhanov is looking out on the empty auditorium with a calm expression. |
|
| Oct-14-05 | | messachess: I don't about all you other GM's out there, but I has no clue about black's
46th. |
|
Oct-14-05
 | | Landman: If 48.Rcg1, then Rc8. If 48.Bf1, then Rg6. Kasim is putting up a lot of resistance. |
|
| Oct-14-05 | | Monoceros: Oh, very cute! All three of Leko's kingside pawns might fall now. |
|
Oct-14-05
| | YouRang: Kasim is hoping to end up in a position where all the pieces are gone, except a lone white bishop -- and that lone white bishop won't be enough to force a pawn to promote. I think... |
|
Oct-14-05
 | | keypusher: Is that a dancing rook I see? |
|
Oct-14-05
| | YouRang: Kasim must have been hoping for Rg1 instead of Rc2. |

 | | chessgames.com: Thanks to everybody for participating in past few weeks with our coverage of the FIDE 2005 World Championship. We look forward to doing this again with other upcoming matches and tournaments. |

| | tamar: A nice win for Leko, but he will be remembering the missed win in round 1 against Topalov for a long time. |
|
| Oct-14-05 | | Monoceros: I was expecting 48. Rg1 as well. 48. Rc2 is a wonderful little tactical shot that I did not see at all - a voluntary fork. Well done Leko. |
|
| Oct-14-05 | | me to play: Well, I am glad Leko finished on an "up" note at least. |
|
| Oct-14-05 | | underrated: <chessgames.com> your welcome! and thanks to you... |
|

 | | Gypsy: <tamar: A nice win for Leko, but he will be remembering the missed win in round 1 against Topalov for a long time.> Yes, the dynamics of the tournament would take off completely differently. |
