Jun-10-09		tamar: Gashimov's destruction of the Berlin in this tournament must be making Kasparov proud. He uses the e6 break here as in the Onischuk game that looks very convincing.

Jun-10-09		tamar: No hope at the end of course. If 40...b3 41 Rc3 Bc2 42 Rxb3+

Jun-15-09		regi sidal: Beautifully efficient game from Gashimov. Like each piece knew exactly what its purpose was, no ambivalence, no complications.

Jun-15-09		gus inn: <regi sudal> right on the spot - well, at least my impressions during the game.A truly pleasure to watch.

Aug-29-09		whiteshark: <ARK84> White's threats are probably either <41.Kf2> with 42.Kf3/43.e4 to close the diagonal b1-h7 or <41.Rc4> intending 42.e4 with the same idea of cutting off.
