Nov-02-07		OneArmedScissor: I hate to be the first to admit it, but this is a really awesome game by Bacrot.

Nov-02-07		Shams: good grief, against Chucky no less! amazing game.

Nov-02-07		Shams: it could be the 5 vicodin and 12 advil from yesterday affecting my brain (had wisdom teeth pulled out) but I'm stepping up and calling this Bacrot's masterpiece.

Nov-02-07		Bobsterman3000: Shame on Chuky for going rook-grabbing like that :-) It took his dark-squared bishop away from defense of his own camp...

Nov-03-07		notyetagm: <OneArmedScissor: I hate to be the first to admit it, but this is a really awesome game by Bacrot.> Yes. When was the last time you saw Ivanchuk just completely blown off the board like this?

Nov-03-07		Resignation Trap: Bacrot was prepared very well for this game. After 13 moves, we have this position: click for larger view In a Rapid game in Mainz, Aronian-Bacrot went 14.h3 Nf6 15.Ng5+ Kg8 16.Be3 Ncxe4 17.Ncxe4 Nxe4 18.Nxe4 Bf5 19.Bd3 Bxe4 20.Bxe4 Qe7 21.Bg2 Qb4+ 22.Qd2 1-0. I'm sure Bacrot had something prepared for 14. h3 as well.

Nov-07-07		acirce: Bacrot comments the game on his very nice site: http://chess22.fr/mambots/editors/a... As for Aronian-Bacrot, he says 16..Qa5 would have equalized.
