May-21-06		DCP23: Who needs Topalov and Kramnik when we have The Great Moro!!

May-21-06		suenteus po 147: <DCP23> Well, Morozevich did sac the exchange, so that's Topalov covered, but where does he take Kramnik's place in the game?

May-21-06		Maroczy: Does anyone know if Morozevich ever played or is planning to play in the United States? Those of us in the US would love to see these players.

May-21-06		midknightblue: Not all of us would. I prefer to see Lifemaster AJ Goldsby in action.

May-24-06		Raskolnikov: There is an interesting point at move 33. Kuderinov could play 33.b8 e.g. c8 34.b7 with possible draw. Sergey Zagrebelny has asked Morozevich whether he would accept the repetition, Aleksander answered: "Of course!" (Source in Russian: http://www.64.ru/?/ru/articles/item...)

May-24-06		4daluvofchess: I think he did play once, and has a rating close to 2800 uscf- I may be confusing him with Illya Smirin though, who I know has played in the US

May-29-06		itz2000: nice sac for the exchange!

May-30-06		Mateo: Moro tried to complicate matters with success but this was very risky. What a gambler! 24. Nd1 d5! <Sound choice, stronger than 24...a5 > 25...Bxe4!?. <26...Re4 27.Rf6 Bf6 28.Be4 Rd8 29.Nd5 Bd5 30.Bd5 e4 31.Qe4 Bb2 32.Rf1=. Obviously Moro avoided this variation, which is very drawish.> 34. Re2? <The turning point. 34.c4! was better.> 35. Rce1? <Now the game is lost. 35.h3 Qe2 36.Qc6 was his last hope>
