| Jan-18-09 | | NakoSonorense: Go Moro! |
 |
Jan-18-09
 | | chessgames.com: The clock that reads 0:00-0:00 is not broken, they actually do have less than a minute each. |
|
| Jan-18-09 | | NakoSonorense: Not anymore, cg.com. They reached the 40th move! |
|
Jan-18-09
 | | An Englishman: Good Morning: Sunday morning, fresh coffee, and ChessGames. Life is good, even if this position is not. At first blush, looks like both sides have to cope with certain awkwardnesses. |
|
Jan-18-09
 | | Marmot PFL: Looks like white wins after Kxc2 Bxf1+ Kc3, winning b pawn or trading rooks 1st. |
|
Jan-18-09
 | | Sneaky: This is like walking out of a dark room into bright sunshine, you have take a minute to let your eyes adjust. What the heck is going on here? Moro is winning I guess? |
|
Jan-18-09
 | | waustad: The other advantage of white in time scrambles is that they get to make the first move in non-blitz mode after time control. |
|
Jan-18-09
| | Marmot PFL: Many greats played the Grunfeld - Botvinnik, Smyslov, Fischer, Korchnoi, Kasparov - but it is a hard opening. |
|
| Jan-18-09 | | NakoSonorense: Is Rf2 best for White here? |
|
Jan-18-09
 | | OneArmedScissor: I hope Van Wely gets his ass blasted back to the stone age |
|
| Jan-18-09 | | Woody Wood Pusher: Who needs Fischer-Random when we have Moro! |
|
Jan-18-09
| | waustad: Tough crowd. Drop below 2700 and the hate mail begins. |
|
Jan-18-09
| | Sneaky: So much for my "forehead theory". |
|
Jan-18-09
| | OneArmedScissor: Rf2 loses |
|
Jan-18-09
 | | Open Defence: thanks for the additional broadcast <chessgames.com> |
|
Jan-18-09
| | OneArmedScissor: nvm didn't see white's bishop |
|
Jan-18-09
| | Sneaky: <OneArmedScissor: Rf2 loses> No, I think it's good! I imagine 41.Rf2 Rxf2 42.Nxf2 Rc7(or something) 43.Rh4+ and White looks like he's dominating. |
|
Jan-18-09
| | Sneaky: ...and 42.Kc3 is good too. Either way, a pair of rooks gets traded and White's advantage looms larger. |
|
Jan-18-09
| | Marmot PFL: nf4 and Rg6+ is threat, so Bxd3 might be forced |
|
| Jan-18-09 | | chessic eric: i can't see a good way to prevent white's plan of Rg6+,Kh5 g4+,h4 Rh6+,Kg3 Rxh2,Kxh2 where the black king is sorely out of play. |
|
| Jan-18-09 | | NakoSonorense: Moro wins?!?! |
|
Jan-18-09
| | Sneaky: There is also the revealed check threat of Rg6+ Kh7 R(somewhere evil)+. Note that Black can't just play into Rg6+ Kh5 due to that nasty little Nf4 checkmate. |
|
Jan-18-09
| | Marmot PFL: so now Moro is back to where he started Corus |
|
Jan-18-09
 | | SCUBA diver: He could have played a few more moves. |
|
Jan-18-09
| | chessgames.com: Thanks to everybody for participating in today's live chess broadcast. The action continues tomorrow morning with round #3, same time (7:30am USA/Eastern). Hope to see you back! |
