 | | AgentRgent: <uscfratingmybyear: "If he takes the c pawn it's mate in 2. over and out." The black king had e8 after the check on g7.> The Queen mates on a8 not checks on g7. |
 |
| Dec-15-09 | | NakoSonorense: <then mates?> The Black King can move to h6 and escapes the threat. |
|

 | | extremepleasure2: and Short lost on time. |
|

 | | Domdaniel: With time almost gone, the forcing Qe8+ line seems inevitable. |

 | | Kasputin: I wish my chess clock worked like these ones - I get to less then a minute and it lasts about 3 |
|
Dec-15-09
 | | Once: I have a slight domestic problem. I am supposed to collect the Mem from the train station in 25 minutes. She is going to be so annoyed if I'm not there.... |
|
| Dec-15-09 | | weisyschwarz: <Once> you will be there. |
|
| Dec-15-09 | | DEEPERGRAY: <Kasputin>. When your a Super GM even your clock is that good! |
|
Dec-15-09
 | | beenthere240: white can win yet another black pawn and finish the game at least ahead in material. |
|

 | | swordfish: Exciting game. Now that the smoke has cleared and the players have reached the time control, it looks like a draw. |
|
Dec-15-09
| | Domdaniel: Now they get increments: no need to go so close to the wire again. If it's drawn, Short's play deserves great praise. It does anyway: he's proving, as he said before, that he's not riffraff. |
|
| Dec-15-09 | | eternaloptimist: <Once: I have a slight domestic problem. I am supposed to collect the Mem from the train station in 25 minutes. She is going to be so annoyed if I'm not there....> go ahead & leave to pick her up. this will be a draw i assure u. |

 | | kb2ct: Material is equal. Speed is equal. Dead draw. A perp speeds things up. :0) |
|
| Dec-15-09 | | carmen: 54 ...Qxf6 looks winning to me. Why did not Carlsen take that pawn? |
|
Dec-15-09
 | | HeMateMe: You wonder if Short can block the checks with his queen, exchange a pair of queened pawns, and end up with the last queen on the board? |
|
Dec-15-09
 | | Eyal: <54 ...Qxf6 looks winning to me. Why did not Carlsen take that pawn?> After 55.c5 the c-pawn gives White strong counterplay, that may be enough for a draw; perhaps Carlsen mistakenly thought that he can stop that advance with the queen on h5. |
|
Dec-15-09
 | | samsonagonistes: Are they both playing on each thinking that they can't lose? They can shake hands. Did Nige see that 48.c4 was going to be his saving move? |
|
| Dec-15-09 | | Deevke: This is drawn... Maybe Carlsen missed the win by not taking the f6-pawn. Second time he missed the win is this tournament. |
|
| Dec-15-09 | | scrambler: White could try 61.c7 and after 61...Qc2+ He as 62.Ka3 another check and white win the a-pawn he'll also threaten qf8 check and then queen. |
|
Dec-15-09
| | HeMateMe: Does anyone have an eval from fritz or rybka? gonna be very drawish, no way for either king to avoid the checks. |
|
Dec-15-09
| | kb2ct: <carmen: 54 ...Qxf6 looks winning to me. Why did not Carlsen take that pawn?> It was not winning. Just a little different.
:0) |
|
Dec-15-09
| | Domdaniel: If 61.c7 Qb3+ 62.Qxb3+ axb3+ 63.Kxb3 h2 64.c8Q h1Q, it looks drawn. |
|
Dec-15-09
 | | dotsamoht: Go Nigel! Win this thing! |
|
| Dec-15-09 | | scrambler: These guys are playing this one out. |
|
Dec-15-09
| | Once: Hmmm... the clock is ticking .... have I got time to watch a couple more moves and still make it to the train station? Will there be a perp or can nige win it? Qh8+ K-g something, Qg8+ then queen the pawn... |
