Jun-04-07		kellmano: Surely the obvious 52. Qxg6 was a a better attempt.

Jun-04-07		outplayer: 52.Qxg6 Nxe7...

Jun-04-07		kellmano: By obvious, I meant obvious to a patzer. Obviously ....

Jun-15-07		kingsindian2006: most of gelfand's points in the candidates are with black which fits his style.

Jun-21-07		LIFE Master AJ: A great game by Gelfand. (It shows defense does win chess games!)

Jun-21-07		sanyas: At what point did White "overplay his hand"?

Jul-23-07		Tamerlan: Instead of g5, wich is a mistake, white should play f4, then Re6 and Kg2.

Jul-23-07		Tamerlan: Jun-04-07 kellmano: If Qxg6, black would play Ng7 and the rook would attack the f2 pawn.

Jul-18-11		Domdaniel: Resigning is so normal ... why not dredge up the last of your creative juices and construct a helpmate? 53.Kh1 Ng3+ 54.fxg3 (otherwise 54...Qxf2#) Rf1+ 55.Kg2 Qf2# would do nicely. If you get lucky you might even annoy your opponent.
