Nov-28-07		nfazli: cant believe it,he was my favorite... go chucky !!!

Nov-28-07		Bobsterman3000: Clever use of rooks by Macieja. 16...Ra6 was a killer, securing black's 6th rank and reducing Radjabov's attack to rubble...

Nov-28-07		Riverbeast: Nice aggressive counterattacking play by Macieja, when all he needed was a draw to win the match. I think in that situation, when your opponent has to win, the worst thing you can do is play for a draw. Better to let him attack and use his energy against him - a true aikido style throwdown...

Nov-28-07		luzhin: The finish is pretty: if 37.Kxg2 Qe2+ 38.Kh1 Qxf1+ 39.Nxf1 Rg1++

Nov-28-07		Riverbeast: An interesting winning attempt for Radjabov, instead of 23. Ne4 which seems to lose: 23. d5! b4 24. dxc6 bxc3 25. Bd5!

Nov-29-07		arsen387: Very nice game by Macieja. and the final mating combination could be given as good wednesday puzzle !

Nov-29-07		notyetagm: <luzhin: The finish is pretty: if 37.Kxg2 Qe2+ 38.Kh1 Qxf1+ 39.Nxf1 Rg1++> click for larger view What a way to knockout Radjabov!

Nov-29-07		Whitehat1963: MAJOR UPSET!

Nov-29-07		chancho: Radja had a +136 rating point edge over Macieja( the above scoresheet has 2742 to 2606) and yet still lost. Incredible.

Nov-29-07		dehanne: White plays 38.Kh3 and there is no forced mate, but it's still lost.

Nov-29-07		ounos: 23. Ne4 seems premature. It is understandable he wanted to press and win as soon as possible.

Nov-30-07		sanyas: Somebody was a bit cocky here...
