Feb-20-07		percyblakeney: It felt as if there should have been a win somewhere in that endgame for Jakovenko, but maybe there never was one. Pretty finish by Novikov.

Feb-21-07		Ashram64: really nice play for the draw...good quiz material

Feb-22-07		jmrulez2004: If 74....Rxg3 75.Rb2+! the black king has to leave and then he loses his rook.

Mar-05-07		SonghaoLi: It feels like every white move after the first time control is forced. chessbase.com describes Novikov's effort to save the game as "heroic" and I have to concur.

Mar-05-07		Plato: It's especially impressive to salvage an endgame like this against Jakovenko, whose technical precision in the endgame is well documented.
