| mohitm: I have a few questions regarding black's play? if anyone can clear my doubts, i'll be most grateful. a. why did black had to choose a line which ended up in a horrible gap at d5, and a bad bad isolated pawn at d6?
b. why did he allowed the pawn to reach e7, which resulted only in his getting another piece down? instead why don't take fxe6, although it's not too great either. |

| Hesam7: <al wazir: Was 29...Bxf6 really necessary?> 29...Bh8 30.Bd5 Ne5 31.Bh6 Re8 32.Rb7 does not promise Black that much. The f6 pawn is just too powerful. The main mistake however was 30...Qc3 Black should have played 30...Ne5! after which white will lose the bishop pair: 31.Bh6 Nxc6 32.Bxf8 Kxf8

| wouldpusher: Black could have gained huge positional advantage by playing the sly 20. ...  c6!!, taking advantage of White's underdeveloped Q-side.

| bravado1: It's one of these games: if Bluvshtein wins, they'll call his sacrifice unbelievably deep and amazing, but had he lost they'd have called him Tal wannabe and his sacrifice dubious. |

| timhortons: now bluvhstiene is showing how deadly he can play.
bluvshtiene ICC handle canadian kid.
his win at canadian open was criticized, he win the crown despite the presence of strong masters like shirov, ni hua and mikhaelevski. |

| felixd: Igor Nataf was commenting the game live. I had the chance to be there and watching this game live, even if there have been some retransmission problems... Very nice game from Bluvshtein, but black could have win that with accurate play. |

| timhortons: moiseenko is a very strong player.
if one would bet moiseenko win this tourney , no could just put down that claim. moiseenkoo together with bacrot win the aeroflot open 2009. moiseenko joined the ordix 2009 and his included in the top 10. very silent but dangerous opponent, but looks like tourneo international 2009 was not meant for him, after round two he had his two losses. if you check out the game he lost against maze its out of in accurate play too.well same days are just bad. |

| vonKrolock: <27...d3> Regarding the sequence until f5-f6, black could perhaps try to improve something from this moment instead - Say 27...e5!?, and if 28.h6, then 28...d3 29.b1 d4

| ROO.BOOKAROO: 6....Bf8 is puzzling, at least to me. What is being gained from this retreat? I don't see it nor understand the logic of this move. Is it just to prepare a later g6 and Bg7 fianchetto? Why not now 6....Ba5, or 6.....BxNc3?
However 15....Bd5 traps the White Q nicely after the capture of the poisoned B7 pawn. So it's a misnomer to talk of a queen sacrifice. White gets a rook and a bishop for his queen. |
|
| Aug-29-09 |
| ROO.BOOKAROO: Also, why not 32. Bd4? controlling the long dark-square a1-h8 diagonal? |
|
| Aug-29-09 |
| ROO.BOOKAROO: And after 46. Ne2, Black cannot take the e5 pawn, 46.....Qxe5, because of the threat of the skewer 47. Bg3 gaining the rook on b8. |

| nummerzwei: <ROO.BOOKAROO: 6....Bf8>:
That's what Black played 5...Re8 for. On a another day he may well have played 5...d5 6.a3 Be7.
6...Ba5 loses material in a way you should figure out yourself. 6...BxNc3 is a standard move in the NID, but here Black can neither force doubled pawns nor attack the White centre, so it may be dubious. <32.Bd4> seems to lose material after 32...Qc2. |
