Feb-01-09		Confuse: 40. Rf4! Is cool : )

Feb-01-09		jovack: strange how ivanchuk didnt smell the imminent danger....

Feb-01-09		AuN1: hmmm, if you are being attacked, wouldn't your intuition tell you to move AWAY from the piece(s) which you are being attacked by?

Feb-01-09		luzhin: Ivanchuk should have played 40...g4!, when any advantage is his.

Feb-01-09		percyblakeney: <Ivanchuk should have played 40...g4!, when any advantage is his> If Ivanchuk had saved just one minute for his last moves before the time control he wouldn't have scored 0/3 against Smeets, Radjabov and Morozevich. And against Movsesian he had to make ten moves in less than a minute and that didn't end up well either.
