| Jan-23-07 | | chestknot1: White looks in trouble to me here. |
 |
Jan-23-07
 | | Tomlinsky: draw agreed. |
|

 | | suenteus po 147: I can scarcely believe it! However, it makes sense. It's safe to draw since Radjabov failed to win his game and challenge Topalov's standing. |
|
| Jan-23-07 | | Stevens: <suenteus po 147:> sorry, i meant during the games, not before in the prediction contests. but i think you may be right, this looks pretty equal. hopefully topalov won't settle, but with radjabov taking an early one he may not feel oblidged to push too hard. |

 | | kellmano: I suspect both players will be reasonably happy with the draw. Lev to draw with the highest ranked player, Topa not to befall the same fate as Radja. |

 | | Honza Cervenka: If 27....Bxd4, then 28.Bxc6 bxc6 29.Rxd4 cxb5 30.Rxd8+ Qxd8 31.Qxb5 draw. |
|
| Jan-23-07 | | Mateo: Normally, we should switch to Ponomariov-Karjakine, since Karjakine has the better scoere in the remaining games. |
|
| Jan-23-07 | | AdrianP: <cg.com> Can we have Pono-Karjakin rather than Anand-VW if you're showing another one, as Anand-VW looks like it will be over fairly shortly. |
|

 | | strifeknot: No dancing rook in this one. |
|

| | suenteus po 147: How very un-Mtel of Topalov to take the quick draw when it suits him. Maybe he and Kramnik are not so unalike after all ;) |
|
Jan-23-07
| | suenteus po 147: <chessgames.com> Yes, Ponomariov-Karjakin please :) |
|
Jan-23-07
| | Honza Cervenka: <suenteus po 147: How very un-Mtel of Topalov to take the quick draw when it suits him. Maybe he and Kramnik are not so unalike after all ;)> It is fair to say that the game is dead draw. |
|
Jan-23-07
| | suenteus po 147: <Honza Cervenka> I don't dispute that, but Topalov has played on in games just as dead drawn as this one. We've both seen it. |

 | | acirce: <Maybe he and Kramnik are not so unalike after all ;)> Looks like it. http://www.coruschess.com/year/2007... |
|
Jan-23-07
 | | boz: Pono has a dangerous attack against Karjakin. |
|
| Jan-23-07 | | lucifershammer: Have we not switched to another live game yet? |
|
Jan-23-07
| | Tomlinsky: Bagels it is then... |
|
| Jan-23-07 | | ianD: Dear Chessgames:
Any chance we will get a feed from one of the other games? |
|
| Jan-23-07 | | PeerGynt: There are equal positions and equal positions. This one was more equal than the others. Even at MTel any referee would have pronounced it dead, sorry draw. |

 | | Jack Kerouac: Hey look! A Non-Icon makes an appearance. |
|
Jan-23-07
| | Jack Kerouac: How Icon-oclastic..... |
|

| | strifeknot: Why is this designated <Uncommon Opening (A00)>? Looks like an English to me. |
|
| Jan-23-07 | | NakoSonorense: After move 12, it looks like Greek to me. |
|
| Jan-23-07 | | Shajmaty: 26. d5!? is definitely worth a try. Not that easy for Black to equalize! |
|
| Jan-24-07 | | Fisheremon: <Shajmaty: 26. d5!? is definitely worth a try. Not that easy for Black to equalize!> Yeah, still a draw as 26.d5 Nd4 27.Nxd4 Bxd4 28.Kg2 Bc5. But a move ealier could do: 25.d5 Re8 26.Qa2 Ne5 27.Be2 Qb6 28.d6 and Black has to be very careful with his position now. |
