Oct-28-07		luzhin: 10.h4 is a very dynamic new move.Obviously the Knight on g5 can't be taken--but nor does it threaten anything.My impression is that Adams went on to achieve a satisfactory position.

Oct-28-07		Ron: Perhaps this is left over preperation that Grishuk had from the candidates and world championship tournament. Also, I'm glad to see Grishuk playing d4 more oftern.

Oct-28-07		MarvinTsai: No check at all...

Oct-29-07		luzhin: No checks, but the attack crashes through after 45...Rf8 46.h6 fxg6 47.Rxg6

Oct-29-07		kingsindian2006: love seeing grischuk play queens indian

Apr-25-08		MarkThornton: I'm no expert on this line, but <17...Nc7> looks solid for Black. If White has an advantageous continuation, then I don't see it.

Apr-26-08		MarkThornton: I am confused by moves 12 to 14. Black chose <12...Bd6> instead of 12...Nb4. White then played <13. Bd2>, which looks like an attempt to prevent 13...Nb4. Black played <13...Nb4> anyway, and White then chose <14. Qb1> instead of 14. Bxb4. Can anyone explain this sequence to me?

Apr-26-08		euripides: <Mark> I guess 13.Bd2 is mainly a developing move. In some QID lines the bishop can go to c3 and support a fast king's side attack with queenside castling. After <17...Nc7>, 18.Bc3 may be possible immediately as 18...Be5 seems to lose material to 19.d6 and otherwise White is threatening Bxf6; or 18...g6 19.0-0-0 looks reasonably promising for White as if Black tries to hang onto the piece after 19...hxg5 White has 20.hxg5 Nh5 21.g4 Ng7 22.Bf6 Qf8 23.e4 and Qh3 to follow.

Apr-26-08		euripides: ...come to think of it <17...Nc7> 18.Bc3? runs into 18...hxg5 19.hxg5 Ne4 when 20.f3 Bxg3+ looks awful for White.
