  Coleman: Anyone with a computer analysis of this position? Anyone??? Anyone??? Hello....:)
Aug-19-08  Microdot: A very beautiful game by Morozevich!
28...Be5! was the winnig move
For example after 28...Be5! 29.Ra8+,Kg7 30.Ne8+,Kg6 31.Ra6,Kg5 All in all a very good game by Morozevich, in my opinion this was the best game of the round 2. Go Moro go!!

Anyone have a <Rybka 3> eval of the final position in this variation?

Thanks

Aug-19-08  Marmot PFL: Not sure it is that good of a game. It didn't look like Mamedyarov drew the game so much as Morozevich failed to win it.

  suenteus po 147: It might have been <Mateo>, but somebody posted that 28...c4 is much more a 'Morozevich move' than 28...Be5. I would expect the latter from Kramnik or Leko since it's such a solid, positional move. Which is not to say that Morozevich can't play this way, he can, but I don't see it very often.

  ahmadov: It is also useful to know whether Moro played 28...c4 under time pressure or not...

I think they were both down to around like 12 minutes to reach the time control at move 40 at the point of 28 ... c5-c4.

And how about a <Rybka 3> eval for that position that I posted above!

<Fritz 11> gives it a -2.00 eval, clearly winning, thanks <microdot>.
