Oct-07-07		Gypsy: This was incredibly subtle play!! It feels as if Mamedyarov were channeling Capablanca, or Flohr during his best years. Mamedyarov gives performances of a future world champion. Hopefully, he will retain his will to win.

Oct-07-07		pawnofdoom: This win gave Mamedyarov a performance that is just a little more than 10 points away from 3000 at this point in the tournament. Weird how white wins the endgame, despite having a knight against black's good bishop

Oct-07-07		Bobsterman3000: On the live playchess.com broadcast everyone was calling for 26.Nxf6 (even though it's not really winning). Shakh saw much deeper.

Oct-07-07		Akavall: Nice win!

Oct-08-07		ahmadov: After Ordix, I thought this year was a bad one for Shark, but his performance in Antalya, particularly this game shows he is still in great form...

Oct-08-07		sigi: This game illustrates Capablanca's theorem: Queen and Knight are better than Queen and Bishop.

Oct-08-07		pawnofdoom: <Bobsterman3000> You mean 26. xg6+? I guess that leads to 26. ... hxg6 27. xg6 which threatens 28. g8# but the threat can easily be stopped by 27. ... g7
