Mar-03-06		OneArmedScissor: 53. Kxe4 f5+ GG

Mar-03-06		Fan of Leko: 49 Rh7? looks like typical Browne time pressure. Used to be 2600 player before poker addiction.

Mar-07-06		supertimchan: 49..Ra7 looks better for me.

Mar-07-06		RookFile: Nice game by Kamsky, Browne played solidly with white, there wasn't an obvious breakthrough.

Mar-08-06		al wazir: After 53. Nc7, what does black do?

Mar-13-06		Ulhumbrus: 8 c4 gains a Maroczy bind.

Mar-13-06		Ulhumbrus: 13 Nxf6+ moves the N a third time to exchange itself for a N moved once. On 13 c4 White seems to have the better if it.

Mar-13-06		Ulhumbrus: 18 Qxc7 enters an ending.It has been suggested that in the Sicilian, games of length tend to be won by Black, which suggests that endings favour Black.

Mar-13-06		Ulhumbrus: 24 c4 makes the c pawn backward and a target on the c file in return for fixing the b5 pawn as a target on the f1-a6 diagonal. So now one queston is : Which target will now be easier for the opposing side to attack?

Mar-13-06		Ulhumbrus: On 27 ...Rxc3+ both targets have fallen, but it turns out that Black has gained two things in addition to the pawn on c3. He has gained the c file for his Rook, and has removed as well the defender of the b4 pawn. This means that b4 turns the b4 pawn into a potential target as well as the c3 pawn. This suggests that the transaction represented by the pawn advance b4 favours Black.
