| Nov-07-09 | | vonKrolock: A good feature for white is that the coronation square 'd8' is of his ♗s color, but as I pointe above already, white's 'a' ♙ is in danger like a little girl in a wood full of wolves |

 | | Open Defence: now this should be drawn... |
|
Nov-07-09
| | A Karpov Fan: this is a draw now imo |
|
Nov-07-09
 | | Marmot PFL: this is looking very symmetrical/drawish now. |
|
Nov-07-09
| | SugarDom: ho-hum... |
|
| Nov-07-09 | | pvk: Again a draw game |
|

| | Marmot PFL: kramnik may have moro on the ropes |
|
Nov-07-09
| | A Karpov Fan: well it is good to be able to draw with Black so easily, but it won't get Carlsen any closer to his 2900 rating :-) |
|
Nov-07-09
 | | Eyal: Someone in the ICC chat room said they're playing here with the new anti-win rules, to ensure an open contest till the last round... But actually it seems that Kramnik has good winning chances against Moro. |
|
| Nov-07-09 | | vonKrolock: In the meantime they exchanged ♗♗s, and consequently they exc
hanged their central ♙♙s too, maybe finally reaching a drawn position... ... |
|
Nov-07-09
| | kamalakanta: Can we please switch to Morozevich-Kramnik? Kramnik is winning! |
|
Nov-07-09
| | Open Defence: o tempora o mores.... |
|
Nov-07-09
| | Open Defence: well 21...Rb5 could have prolonged the maneuvering but perhaps after 21.Rad1 Carlsen saw the Gelfand has worked out the draw... |
|
Nov-07-09
| | kamalakanta: 26.Qxd4 Qxa2 27.Ra1 and then 1/2-1/2 was played. |
|
Nov-07-09
| | A Karpov Fan: Moro-Kramnik is an amazing fight! |
|
| Nov-07-09 | | waustad: My guess that Carlsen would play the most moves in the tourney just took a hit. |
|

| | obientag: its a DRAW...i think MC should be wearing again the red chinese pajama, in chinese belief it is a source of luck :) |

| | birthtimes: 22.Qf4 Rb6 23.Be7 Re8 24.Rc1 Qa5 25.Bc5 Rb2 26.Bxe6 Rxe6 27.e5 Bxe5 28.Bxd4 Rxa2 and Black is up a pawn... |

| | obientag: <tamar> nice one...lol |
|

| | Eyal: <birthtimes: 22.Qf4 Rb6 23.Be7 Re8 24.Rc1 Qa5 25.Bc5 Rb2 26.Bxe6 Rxe6 27.e5 Bxe5 28.Bxd4 Rxa2 and Black is up a pawn...> White doesn't have to give up the pawn - he can play 27.a3, for example - but such line does give Black more chances to play for a win. |

with no avatar xD |
|
| Nov-08-09 | | Peter Nemenyi: <does anybody even bother with 1.e4 anymore. Poor Fischer must be looking on in apoplexy.> This could also have been asked during the 1927 Alekhine-Capablanca match, or around 1953. These things are cyclical. |
|
| Nov-09-09 | | Criswell: I don't understand why Carlsen would accept a draw. He has a forward pawn on an open rank with a Queen backing it and plenty of potential support later on. Is this a theoretical draw or just a mistake on Carlsen's part? |
|
Nov-09-09
 | | beenthere240: <Criswell> After 26, Qxd4 the game is pretty even. See <kamalakanta>'s comment above. |
