| Nov-06-08 | | Alphastar: Instead of 51. ..Kg7?, 51. ..Bd4 draws. in that case black moves the bishop back to b6 if white plays Kc8, so the d-pawn can be stopped with Ke7 when white moves it forward. |

 | | Gilmoy: <19..Bf6> commits Black to a tenuous plan based on the protected d4-pawn, with Rooks invading on c. White momentarily controls c8, and spots some tactics? <25.cxd5> a critical point. White might have an exchange sac on e5 to spring his own d-pawn to d7. <25..g6> Black feels some cramp. <25..Rb7> creates a bad pin on e, <25..Rbd8> is desolate. Black had no good way to stop ... <26.Bd7 27.Bc6> The first untouchable outpost: closes c, controls e8 and a4. That's more than Black's Bg7 is doing. All the rest is Black flailing for counterplay. Sacking a pawn just to trade off the Rooks was always hopeless, as Black's lone B can't queen her d-pawn by itself. Trading the d-pawn for White's g-pawn reveals that Black's plan at 19 was no answer for White's patient K-side rolling tide. White has a pawn, some tempi, and Black's K is out of the box. |

It wasnt clever,it was too flashy.
As Thomas Jefferson once said to his nephew Peter Carr in the letter<Education of a young man>"You should divest yourself of all bias in favour of novelty and singularity of opinion",
while Sebag is on the contrary,and she always conduct like this,in everygame,wild and creative like a male,which makes her considerable strong,but when you compete with such players as Kosteniuk,you have to handle the disadvantage as well. |

| Nov-06-08 | | Lutwidge: <Ladolcevita: Lutwidge: Black's clever 40th move deserved a better fate. It wasnt clever,it was too flashy.> Huh? As Alphastar points out, it might well have drawn a difficult position had black not blundered eleven moves later. Could you be analyzing based on result and not the position? Perhaps if we look hard enough we can find another Jeffersonian platitude to cover that. :) |

| Nov-06-08 | | Ladolcevita: It can be a draw??
I feel white is better after her"clever move".....
BTW,i dont think its a platitude,its quite correct in some sense.And i quote it not for showing off by looking hard in his text,but because i read it once and repeated it now to practise my English, |
|
| Nov-06-08 | | Ladolcevita: Anyway,black's "clever move"is not necessary,it cant bring her a win,while not making this move,she can still get a draw,right? This can totally prove how vishy this move is,and how not clever it is either. |
|
| Nov-06-08 | | Alphastar: <Ladolcevita> white is better, whether she makes that move or not. The endgame which arose after that is objectively drawn, and not too difficult either. Ofcourse, it was a rapid game. |
