Oct-09-09 | | kkshethin: I think black is better. Deep shredder says that 85...Qa1 would be better |
|
Oct-09-09 | | marcwordsmith: <Natalia> with each player having less than five minutes to make all his moves, why are they not simply shaking hands yet? Is there a psychological reason? |
|
Oct-09-09 | | marcwordsmith: welcome back <twinlark>. I take it your children have released you for at least the next six minutes or so. |

 | | Natalia Pogonina: <marcwordsmith: <Natalia> with each player having less than five minutes to make all his moves, why are they not simply shaking hands yet? Is there a psychological reason?> Both of them are playing for a win and hoping to outplay the opponent in time trouble. However, it's easier to play this as Black now. |

Oct-09-09 | | euripides: An interesting, though occasionally rather static, fight. Are they paid by the move ? The timing of Black's kingside counterplay looks important. Radjabov bides his time. As Anand doesn't play the KID, as far as I know, Topalov might feel he didn't need to hide his preparation here. But it doesn't look as though he had anything very lethal up his sleeve; simply an interesting middle-game plan. |
|

 | | moronovich: It is very likely Topa uses KID as a smokescreen in relation to the upcomming match with Anand. If studying and studying KID is keeping Anands seconds ocupied ,consuming time and energy,it would better Topas chances. |
|
Oct-09-09 | | Paraconti: Whatever happened to the Topalov of Q4 2005? That Topalov played chess like a God. |
|
Oct-09-09 | | Caissanist: I think Averbakh said it well--"In chess you cannot be a genius forever, only for a short burst." |
|
Oct-10-09 | | Eyal: Radjabov having a hard time staying awake during this game: http://www.chessbase.com/news/2009/... |
|
Oct-18-09 | | kingsindian2006: with all the passive moves in the middle game, im surprised they didnt draw at around move 35 |
