Feb-28-09 | | arkansaw: yea, I missed Bf4, but the idea is correct after g3 |
|
Feb-28-09 | | Pyrrhus: I got it wrong Smothered King (Flippin' Rybkanots). g3 must be played first to prevent Bf4. Still, I prefer Rc2. Machines will disagree, but then they're machines, and understandably prefer calculation. |
|
Feb-28-09 | | arkansaw: and a great player like Grischuk sees that too :) |
|
Feb-28-09 | | Pyrrhus: But Grischuk does like the machine's choice. He's planning a5 here, it seems. |
|
Feb-28-09 | | AuN1: leinier may be thinking about Bc7 preventing a5. |
|
Feb-28-09 | | arkansaw: on the other game, Carlsen was fighting for his life some moves back, but his king and rook is so spiffy....it should be good for draw |
|
Feb-28-09 | | AuN1: <arkansaw: on the other game, Carlsen was fighting for his life some moves back, but his king and rook is so spiffy....it should be good for draw> damn you aronian! : x |
|
Feb-28-09 | | SmotheredKing: Grischuk seems quite Rybka-esque this game. |
|
Feb-28-09 | | AuN1: did leinier not have anything planned after g3? |
|
Feb-28-09 | | AuN1: Bc7! you heard it here first 8-) |
|
Feb-28-09 | | scrambler: 44.Kf1 played the a4 pawn will finally get some help. |
|
Feb-28-09 | | melianis: This is a draw. I mean if either player wants it, i believe. |
|
Feb-28-09 | | AuN1: f5! the very move i would have played, trying to loosen some pawns on the kingside, and looking to create an outside passed pawn on the h-file. |
|
Feb-28-09 | | Pyrrhus: The position isn't close to being exhausted yet. It would be a little disappointing to see a draw here. |
|
Feb-28-09 | | AuN1: white could have also played f4 to prevent black from doing so. |
|
Feb-28-09 | | SmotheredKing: Now things look extremely drawish. |
|
Feb-28-09 | | scrambler: 44...f5 with f4 in mind nice! I was thinking 44...Ba5 blocking. |
|
Feb-28-09 | | arkansaw: it would be hard for either player to lose.. unless he is Leko |
|
Feb-28-09 | | ettupacman: Just out of curiosity, which of the two is usually the stronger endgame player? |
|
Feb-28-09 | | AuN1: the h-pawn is black's last hope for a win. |
|
Feb-28-09 | | scolley: 47...Rxa5 1/2-1/2 just played. |
|
Feb-28-09 | | AuN1: ...shoulda played h5. |
|
Feb-28-09 | | arkansaw: great..Grischuk continues to lead. I'll pass on looking at how carlsen gets ground down in yet-another-rook-endgame |
|
