Jan-15-06		Karpova: was 16.e4 good? i doubt it. black gained control over the c-file after that move. beliavsky should have doubled his rooks on the c-file and played something like nb1 na3 to get rid of a rook on c4

Jan-15-06		alexmagnus: Naiditsch was lucky that Beliavsky didn't play 32.h4.

Jan-15-06		bob000: Why alex? I don't see the win/draw for Beliavsky after 32...Bxf1. The bishops cover immediate mate threats and black can run to the queenside a rook to the good against anything slower. If Rxe6 at any point the queen now covers the second rank for black.

Jan-16-06		alexmagnus: <32.h4! xc1 33.xg4+! 33..f8 34.g7+ e8 35.xe6!> (thanks chessbase!)

Jan-16-06		alexmagnus: i myself saw h4 and xg4+ but i couldnt find the killing e6!

Jan-20-06		sharkbenjamin: alexmagnus great notation on 32.Qh4!

Jan-20-06		delterp: <Karpova>, at first I thought e4 was a fair move, but after a bit of thought, I think you are right that it is questionable. But for a different reason. At move 16, white's advantage lies in black's awful a6 bishop. If white can keep it bad, then he will be defacto a piece up. Rather than the dull doubling on the c file, I would have played 16 e5 intending to get rid of the f6 knight and then swing my own knight to c5. Any attempt to get rid of him creates a mighty passed pawn. And the pawn on d4 can be protected by the simple e3.

White could win by a very nice combo. Black won instead...
