May-22-07		percyblakeney: Predojevic comes up with a string of very strong moves starting with 21. d4. Before playing 24. Ngf5 he was down to 5 minutes for 17 moves, but it was enough.

May-22-07		euripides: Short sets his opponent a test on K+P endings on move 49. If 49.Rxe6, Black sits tight with his king in the corner. White can play h5 and g6 but then h6 gives Black a fortress; even if White has the opposition Black then puts his king on h7 and White's Kf7 will be stalemate.

May-22-07		Sam Chapin: Why not 26.Bxc5 ?

May-23-07		xenophon: i find this odd-short won the EU championship by winning on the white side of the two knights-and the notes he gave to the game in NIC suggest he didn't believe black is sound-so why did he play it-did he underestimate his opponent?

May-23-07		Bears092: The position after 11. Nd8 is wonderful.

May-23-07		asmama: sweet !

May-24-07		solstys: <Sam Chapin> It seems like 26. Bxc5 is a stronger move. I'm not sure why Predojevic didn't play it.

May-24-07		IMDONE4: <Bears092: The position after 11. Nd8 is wonderful> ...why?

Jan-21-08		grasser: Yes. 26.Bxc5 leaves White up a Queen for two pieces, rather than just an exchange up.

Jan-21-08		areknames: Can't understand why 26.Bxc5 wasn't played either, looks pretty straightforward to me. Black's pieces will be fairly active, but a Queen is a Queen.
