 |
| Oct-20-08 | | Nouvelle: wow thatīs a hell of a game. I didnīt even see it coming a few moves before the mate. |
|
| Jun-10-11 | | panzerkampf: What if 15..fxg6? |
|

 | | paire: Wow. This is amazing chess. Anybody know the details of the tournament? |
|
| Jun-10-11 | | Magic Castle: <panzerkampf: What if 15..fxg6?> Simply 16. Qe2. The pawn at h6 gives white a tremendous advantage. |
|
| Jun-10-11 | | abuzic: 15...fxg6? 16. Qd5+ Kf8 17. Qd4 (16...Kf8 17. Bd4+ and mate follows) Kf7 18. Qg7+ Ke5 19. Rde1.... |

 | | sevenseaman: Pono knew where he was going, not Boris though! |
|
| Jun-10-11 | | Oceanlake: Black should avoid cramping moves and prepare to castle on the same side as white. This suggests Nc6 rather than Be7. |

 | | Check It Out: Whoa! Gelfand miniaturized in a Petroff no less! |
|
| Jun-10-11 | | Jamboree: 14. ... Bxe2?? and 15. ... Bxd1?? are beyond bad - -probably the worst two moves Gelfand has ever made. It's like walking face first into an airplane propeller. Insta-mate. What would have happened if Gelfand had instead tried the obvious 14. ... dxe5. I mean, isn't the whole point of the strange move 12. ... Qc8 to protect the bishop on g4 if there's a knight exchange? After 14. ... dxe5, Does white have anything, attack-wise, or has black managed to equalize? |
|
| Jun-10-11 | | ossipossi: <Oceanlake> right, odd castling gives white tremendous advantage. |
|
| Jun-10-11 | | abuzic: <Jamboree After 14. ... dxe5, Does white have anything, attack-wise, or has black managed to equalize?>
14...dxe5 15. Bxg4 Qxg4 16. Qd5 and it looks that white is much better, and the structure of the black pawns is vulnerable. |
|
| Jun-10-11 | | Sem: 16. Qd4 - what a beauty! |
|
| Jun-10-11 | | piltdown man: I knew that pawn would cause trouble. |

 | | Garech: Ponomariov makes it look to simple! Can anyone confirm if this was a blitz game? I hope so, for Gelfand's sake. -Garech |

 | | kevin86: Quick question:When did the Petroff become the Petrov? Clearly a speed game is played and white comes in quickly with the attack. Black's defense couldn't be up to speed. |

 | | hedgeh0g: <kevin86> I always wondered why people called it the <Petroff> instead of the <Petrov>... |
|
Jun-10-11
 | | scormus: Good pun, shame about the Bplay |
|
| Jun-10-11 | | t4ngl3: It is called Petr-on, in case it is played right. If it is played like this... well... Petr-off. |
|

 | | Once: Petrov/ Petroff - I <think> that the explanation goes something like this... The opening is named after Alexander Dmitrievich Petrov. Because he is a Russian, he would spell his name in cyrillic letters which do not correspond exactly to the letters that we use. The last character of his name looks a little like a capital B and is pronounced somewhere between "ff" and "v". In english there are two different spellings of his name - either with the ff or v. As far as I can tell, either is right. More about petroff/ petrov here

| Jun-10-11 | | ProLogik: As soon as White played 9. 0-0-0, Black should have seen the attack coming. I wonder if 14. ...Bf4 could have stopped White from taking the g pawn. |
|
Jun-10-11
| | Check It Out: From now on it's the Petrov for me. |
|

 | | Fusilli: <ProLogik: ... I wonder if 14. ...Bf4 could have stopped White from taking the g pawn.> If you mean 14...Bf5, White can just withdraw the knight and has an extra piece. |
|
| Jun-10-11 | | dfelix: Great game by Ponomarioff. |
