 | | talisman: got one! |

 | | tamar: Threat Qh5+ Qf7 so we will see ...Rg6 most probably. I think Topalov missed Rxf8 |
|

 | | Eyal: <tamar: 23 Rf1 was recommended, but what was the continuation against 23...b4> 24.Rxf6! Nxf6 25.Bb5 or 24... bxc3 25.Rxf8+! Nxf8 26.Bg6+. So apparently it was either 23...e4 or giving back the piece as in <Mateo>'s line for Black. |

 | | An Englishman: Looking at 27.Qh8,Kd7!?; 28.Nf6+!? |
|

 | | SCUBA diver: How about N-d6+. .. |

| | RandomVisitor: 28.Bxf6 Qc7 favors black |
|
May-17-09
 | | Sneaky: I think that White has a forced draw now. But does he have better? |
|
May-17-09
| | Eyal: After 28...Nxf6 instead of Qc7 it should be a perpetual. |
|
May-17-09
| | RandomVisitor: 29.Bg6+ leads to perpetual |
|
May-17-09
| | tamar: Definitely a game to study, but with both players missing chances. Great analysis <Eyal> I missed Rxf8 in the ...b4 line |
|
May-17-09
| | SCUBA diver: This is a draw by perpetual. |

 | | Domdaniel: <tamar> -- <23 Rf1 was recommended, but what was the continuation against 23...b4> 23.Rf1 b4 24.Rxf6 bxc3 25.Rxf8+ Nxf8 26.Bg6+ wins, for example. |

| | talisman: scuba...topa might take pawn. |
|

| | talisman: this looks over. |

| | Sneaky: Wow these guys are blitzing out some crazy moves! |
|

| | RandomVisitor: black can win this... |
|
May-17-09
| | An Englishman: I had been looking at 38...Rxc3+; 39.bxc3,Qxc3+ and that looked like a perpetual. |
|

 | | acirce: Arggh, ..b3+! hurts. |
|

| | RandomVisitor: 40...b3 |
|

| | talisman: 37, Qx b7 was the blunder? |
|
May-17-09
| | tamar: Topalov is taking his time now, a bad sign for Ivanchuk. Not very practical play by Chuk when there a perp to be had. |
|
May-17-09
| | Domdaniel: 39...Qc4+ wins |
|
May-17-09
| | Eyal: Ouch!! After 37.Qxb7?? white should be losing; instead, after 37.Qf7+(!) Kd8 38.Qxb7 Qe3+ 39.Kd1 Black has no more than perpetual, because there's no rook check on d8. |
|

 | | Eisenheim: Top wins from this position |
