Jan-27-08 | | benjinathan: This is how I know that, despite all my efforts I still suck at chess: to me this looks like a comfortable win for MC now. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Morning: I hope everyone's enjoying their Sundays. Just checked in now, and offhand, White's c-pawn looks a little vulnerable to a potential ...Qc6. But then again, the caffeine hasn't kicked in yet, so it could be a mirage. |
|
Jan-27-08 | | AdrianP: Surely a draw now...? |
|
Jan-27-08 | | SCUBA diver: White should play Q-d5. .. |
|
Jan-27-08 | | chessic eric: 48.Bd5 to avoid the draw (if that can be done eventually is a different issue). There is then a threat in 49.Qf5 and 50.Qg6+ |
|
Jan-27-08 | | popski: Bah, that's the end, draw. |

 | | Sneaky: <chessic> Sorry I'm as confused as you are, I'm just speculating. I think Peter is leaving now. He says <I think I'm going to collapse and die now, I should go. ... Just one last thing: Magnus decided that he's better in the position we were discussing and took on e5 instead of c5.> -- Svidler <Woah, probably not too risky anyway.> -- Benjamin <No. In fact I don't see quite why he would do that, because Black now has... well, maybe ... well he will not even end up a pawn up, after ...Qc6 then what does he do? Why would he think he is better here? Man, I'm completely dead. ... Maybe just [trade queens] and it's time to smoke a cigar.Anyhow on that cheerful note, thanks for relieving me of my duties, and all the best to everybody.> -- Svidler |

Jan-27-08 | | Marmot PFL: Anand still have some attacking chances. |
|
Jan-27-08 | | chessic eric: (in Anand-Kramnik, now it is white who has declied a repitition of moves) |
|
Jan-27-08 | | benjinathan: OK now even I can see it. |
|
Jan-27-08
 | | jessicafischerqueen: Yes, My dear <Gorilla>. BANANA looks like he wants to try anythig to win the tournament. I think he needs a miracle though. |
|
Jan-27-08
 | | Domdaniel: Before the exchanges Fritz thought it was dead level. Now it reckons White is better by 0.01 pawns. Such awesome precision engineering... |
|
Jan-27-08 | | chessic eric: <jfq> and it'll be sharing first in any case, right? All this <Banana> talk has me salivating... |
|
Jan-27-08 | | krpvksprv: A draw. |
|
Jan-27-08 | | chessic eric: i suppose 51.e6 isn't good because it's too far advanced to be supported, but what i really don't get is 56.fxg5, putting doubled pawns behind the g5 pawn. |
|
Jan-27-08 | | whiteshark: Draw agreed!
Congratulations! |
|
Jan-27-08 | | Philidor: Congratulations Magnus to winning the Corus!!! A shared win is still a win... |
|

|
Jan-27-08
 | | chessgames.com: We will switch over to watch the end of the Anand-Kramnik game in just a minute. |
|
Jan-27-08
 | | Domdaniel: Draw's official. I was starting to worry about their sanity. |
|
Jan-27-08 | | chessic eric: we reach <tamar>'s position! |
|
Jan-27-08 | | Simonkaser: According to playchess.com, they have drawn. Carlsen will arrive first with Aronian with 8/12 points. Very good tournament from the kid! |
|
Jan-27-08 | | talisman: pla.yed it almost to the kings...good game |
