May-27-09		hellopolgar: are you kidding me? a 2550 GM getting demolished by some unknown kid? beautiful games btw.

May-27-09		Ladolcevita: Wow.. quite impressive...

May-27-09		310metaltrader: Can someone show the winning line here?

May-27-09		Shams: <310metaltrader:> <Can someone show the winning line here?> You should really give it a shot; white has overwhelming firepower. Look for a big knight fork. After the cowering 32...Qh5 white traps the queen in one move. White has ways of bringing in his heavy pieces that you should look at (Qe3+, Rxe5/Nxe5/Qd6+) which may not be needed here but are good to recognize.

May-27-09		hellopolgar: lesson learnt: two connected knights in midfield = deadly weapon, especially when you can't harass them with pawns.

May-27-09		hellopolgar: <310metaltrader:> <Can someone show the winning line here?> black's queen can't take the pawn and has to protect the f5 bishop, the only safe move is Qh5 or QG4, then white does Nf6 or f3 respectively and then boom, observe: the black queen has no more safe spots left, isn't that cool?

May-27-09		Ecplecticos: Wow! Black was forced to dance in White's symphony orchestra! Beautiful game.

May-27-09		Shams: More often than not I decline Alekhine's Defense main lines with the text, 2.Nc3, but rarely do I see 4...f6?! Maybe if I played more GMs I'd get to play against this move.

May-29-09		Vasilyev90: Upset win by the 14-year old Chinese boy.Very impressive.Yu exploited GM Torre's seemingly passive 4...f6 and used Knight centralization to crush his opponent.
