Jan-14-08		suenteus po 147: This is starting to look even to me as well. I certainly wouldn't know which side to take as better if offered the choice.

Jan-14-08		ketchuplover: White's king is better placed.

Jan-14-08		chessgames.com: Well, that was quick. One moment -- we'll switch to a third game.

Jan-14-08		Per: Adams - Carlsen would be nice to watch!!

Jan-14-08		suenteus po 147: <Per> But that's almost drawn as well....

Jan-14-08		Marmot PFL: Expected a bit move from Ivanchuk.

Jan-15-08		sisyphus: Mig Greengard says Ivanchuk spent 50 minutes on his fourth move.

Jan-15-08		SniperOnG7: I prefer 4.Nc3 or 4. Bg2, going for the French-like struture which will easily result in saddling Black with a weak backward d-pawn. Once developed, White can play f2-f3, thus unleaching Bg2's attack on Black's centre while simultaneously covering the e4 square. Just my 2c :)
