Jun-06-09		sheaf: This game at least shows that Anand can win even after castling...

Jun-06-09		VaselineTopLove: Why did Leko refuse the repetition of moves around 53-55?

Jun-06-09		Bobsterman3000: Did Peter really think he would be queening the c-pawn? ummmm, no.

Jun-06-09		Marmot PFL: There was no repetition. Anand just used rook moves to improve his position

Jun-06-09		ajile: It appears that 16.Bd6 is the main line. After this move White won both games listed in the chessgames database. Opening Explorer S Volkov vs A Shomoev, 2004 E Vorobiov vs V Grebionkin, 2005

Sep-26-09		freeman8201: You would think Leko would be able to combat the Gruenfeld head-on, since he plays the (or used to) Gruenfeld.

Mar-06-13		wachter123680: Would Leko have lost at 45. when he allowed the pawn to get to the d-file, which became passed?

Mar-06-13		wachter123680: And Leko mistakes some at 37. he had a good chance of passing that c pawn.?
