Apr-10-06		Bobak Zahmat: Caro Kahn Defense seems to be very solide. Only Leko wasn't very lucky playing it against Kramnik. One draw: Kramnik vs Leko, 2004 and one lose: Kramnik vs Leko, 2004 costed him the Classical World Title. I wonder whether Leko would agree to play at San Luis if he had won against Kramnik, hmm I guess we'll never find out.

Apr-20-06		Mateo: The ending should be a draw. I think Kurnosov made an unacurracy with 29. Be7?. It seems that 29. Ra1 is drawish. Now: 1) 29... b6 30. Be3! Bc5 31. Bg5 =. 2) 29... Bg5 30. hg Rh1 31. Rh1 Rc5 32. Rh8 Ke7 33. g6! fg 34. Rh7 Kd8 35. Rb7 =. 3) 29... a4, maybe the best with a small edge for Black.
