Feb-20-09		Sularus: black lost on time?

Feb-20-09		midnightsun88: Well both players played solidly until black blundered.

Feb-20-09		KERESOV: GM Filippov should not removed the queen from the 6th rank on the 39th move as the resulting position after 40. f6 is very hard to meet 'cause it paralyzed Black's position and the weakness of f7 surely tells. Pinoy prodigy GM Wesley So played with zest and constantly searched for the elusive initiative ... such is the hallmark of the future world champion. More power to your games ahead !!!

Feb-20-09		Bishoprick: Although an interesting, fighting game, I don't understand what happened here. I don't see the win for White.

Feb-25-09		narenillo: <40. f6 is very hard to meet> Black lost on time. Otherwise, 40. ... g6 and Black is still winning.

Feb-25-09		WhiteRook48: So Fine a pin

Mar-04-09		PAWNTOEFOUR: <bishoprick>...you didn't see a win for white because there wasn't any..after 1.2 million nodes crafty comes up with this..pv 40...Qd4 41.Qg4 Rb8 42.fxg7 Bxg7 43.Ba2 Qd3 44.Qe2 Be5 45.Kf1 Kg7 46.f3 f5 47.fxe4 fxe4 48.Be6 Rb1+ 49.Kf2 -201 Crafty and mate next move!!...black had to lose on time..and of course any analysis by rybka or any other great program is more than welcome
