Sep-20-09		Don Cossacks: So quiet here.Daring king march by GM Hammer!

Sep-20-09		LaFreak III: Maybe Chairman must try the king's indian against d4

Sep-21-09		al wazir: 36...Qb3 would have given black better chances. If 37. Kf4, then 37...Rf2+ 38. Ke5 (38. Kg5 Qxe3+ wins) Qxe3+ 39. Kd5 (39. Re4 Qxg3+ 40. Kd5 Qb3+) Qb3+ 40. Kc6 Rc2+.

Sep-21-09		Atking: <al wazir> in your line 36...Qb3 why not Qe5 There is many threats like Kf6 or Rd7-Rf7 or Rd8-Rh8 Bd5xf7-xg6. Did I miss something? I could miss something else have a wrong impression but I think that Hammer plays it very very well. Winning a strong B vs N in the opening and the Long March of the King in the Black camp

Sep-21-09		Atking: I meaned 37.Qe5 Seeing the game again maybe a try 8...Be6!?. 8...e6 was for a quick development of Bf8 (12...Bb4) but the impact of that move wasn't.

Sep-21-09		mrandersson: A good pun here would be Stop hammer time.

Sep-21-09		anjyplayer: King march was forced, But this game will be surely marked in history for its king march in 21st century.

Sep-21-09		Mate Hunter: "So hammered"

Sep-21-09		al wazir: <Atking: Yes, after 36...Qb3, 37. Qe5 wins. I looked only at 37. Kf4.

Sep-22-09		notyetagm: 25 ... ? click for larger view 25 ... h7-h5?? click for larger view The blunder 25 ... h7-h5?? does nothing about the threat of White <COORDINATING HIS PIECES ON THE LOOSE SQUARE NEXT TO THE ENEMY KING>, the f6-square next to the Black g7-king, with d1-d6. 26 d1-d6! <coordination: f6> click for larger view

Sep-22-09		notyetagm: 26 d1-d6! click for larger view STOP! HAMMER TIME!

Sep-23-09		SetNoEscapeOn: Is he a GM elect? Chessgames.com has him as an IM.

Sep-23-09		Interbond: Hammer is a GM.

Sep-26-09		waustad: I remember when he got the final norm and he is a GM on the FIDE web site.

Oct-17-09		Nina Myers: So is Failippino.
