| bangkokgambit: Narvara Played an insane chess, his move is extremely complicated, his calculation would ran back and forth in deep algorithm line. |

| computer chess guy: I don't know how much of this was home prep but after 19. O-O-O! White is clearly winning. Maybe even it's won as far back as 14.  e5: a lot of the moves from there are forced. |

| shintaro go: Sasikiran is a piece up and then a few moves later, he resigns. Didn't know what hit him. |

| whiteshark: White's initiative, probably. |

| Honza Cervenka: Closed Sicilian is a trade mark of some guys (especially Miroslav Muron) from my home chess club DA Prague (now Dukla Prague) of which David Navara was a member for many years. I wonder if this can be the source of opening inspiration for David here but the used opening setup resembles Mirek Muron's way of handling this line quite strikingly. A beautiful game, indeed! |

| luzhin: Sasikiran should have continued with what he started on move 10 and played 12...Rxb2 -- 12...d5 was a very dangerous change of plan. Navara's last few moves were immensely powerful. By the end he even had the luxury of two executions: 25.Bh3 would also have been killing. |

| Honza Cervenka: 12...d5 was just bad. On the other hand after 12...Rxb2 13.Ra3 black is not out of opening troubles too. |

| euripides: I'm not sure if d5 was exactly a change of plan - it looks to me as if Sasikiran was playing for control of d4, which would make good strategic sense. His play is refuted by a very lovely, and to my eyes surprising, sacrifice. |

| An Englishman: Good Evening: 12...d5 might have been two moves too late. The NYTimes recommends 10...d5!?; if now 11.dxc5?,d4. |

| computer chess guy: 16. .. dxc3 was reckless. Better was 16. ..  c7 17. e4 O-O, which at least appears to avert a quick loss. A good illustration of the dangers of not castling. |

| slomarko: what is really great about this Navara's sac is that he had to see 20.Bf6! when he started it. |

| WhiteRook48: why not 19. Rd1+ or maybe I'm missing something. |

| GrahamClayton: <Honza Cervenka>12...d5 was just bad. On the other hand after 12... xb2 13.a3 black is not out of opening troubles too.Honza,
After 12...b2 I saw analysis which said White can play 13.0-0, with 13... c3 being answered by 14.cd6.
Where is White's compensation here? 14...g8 15.a7 wins back a pawn, but is this enough? |
