Jan-23-07		independentthinker: There, now isn't it easier when you play sober!

Jan-23-07		strifeknot: Or when your opponent blunders, as Navara did with 22.Rad1?

Jan-23-07		plang: Didn't 27 Na5 make a bad situation worse?

Jan-23-07		Tomlinsky: <Didn't 27 Na5 make a bad situation worse?> I would put the preceding move 26.g4 down as maybe being the right idea but too late here. The damage was done and it allowed c4/e4+. Nd2/Ne4 may be better.

Jan-23-07		MyriadChoices: YEAH Go shirov! He won't be the tail-ender. It can't happen.

Jan-23-07		Marmot PFL: Navara played badly, but Shirov still managed to make it an interesting finish.

Jan-24-07		kellmano: I really enjoyed playing through that, and not just because of a pro-Shirov bias. Does anyone know the score of the KID at Corus?

Jan-26-07		s.ahmed: SHIROV; at long last ......
