Nov-21-09  GaeBulg: Movsesian got crushed...
Nov-21-09  goodevans: 43 ... Nxd3 nets a whole rook so presumambly Movsesian didn't play this because he knew white q-side pawns would be unstoppable. 43 ... Qg1 is tantamount to resigning so he might as well have thrown in the towel at that point!
Nov-21-09  nothingness99: Well defense Yu.. wonder who he will play if he pass this round?

Winner of this match plays the winner of Bartel vs. Grachev.

Nov-22-09  shintaro go: Excellent game from the Chinese GM.
Nov-22-09  dumbgai: Interestingly, Movsesian has had some trouble against Chinese players. He has a minus score against Bu, Ni, and Wang Yue.

  alexrawlings: I like this game, Leonard Barden writes of this game:

<The first upset of the $1m contest was this victory by a 15 year old Chinese talent against a world top 30 grandmaster. The position already seems lost for Black (with white to move at move 47), who is material down and facing a white pawn one square from promotion to queen. But Movesian had set a couple of subtle traps which could have saved the game right at death. If White forces his pawn through by 47 Qc8+ Kh7 48 b8Q then 48.. Qa1+ 49 Kb3 (49 Ra2 Bc1+) Qb1+ when if 50 Kc4 Qxc2+ and Black fights on or 50 Ka3 Qa1+ repeating moves. Black also plans to counter 47 Qxd3 by 47.. Bc1+ 48 Rxc1 Qxd3+. So how did White force a rapid win?>

This could make for a nice puzzle, maybe on Thursday.
