Dec-25-09		whiteshark: It looks like a premature resign. Maybe the score is incomplete?

Dec-25-09		Kangaroo: White lost on time, but the position is almost lost anyway...

Dec-25-09		whiteshark: <Kangaroo> Thanks. I think the game ran out of balance when White played <38.d6?>. He lost the pawn three moves later. With <38.Re4!> d5(+a4) remains protected and the position seems to be with balanced chances. click for larger view

Dec-25-09		Chessical: <39. f3> proves to be insufficient, but the alternative <39. Nd5!?> also seems to fail after: <39... Rc1+> 40. Re1 Rxe1+ 41. Rxe1 Rc6 42.Nf4 Bf5 43. Rd1 Ke8 44. Re1+ Kd7 45. Re7+ Kxd6 46. Rxf7 h5

Dec-25-09		waustad: I was watching (on the net) and white's clock went all the way down. Spassky's clock got down to a few minutes too and then the official site stopped responding. I don't read Russian beyond being able to sound out some names, so an explanation wouldn't have helped much.

Dec-25-09		talisman: These guys must really be close to spend Christmas together!

Dec-25-09		Petrosianic: Let's just say that Kalmykian night life is not the swingingest. They not only roll up the sidewalks after dark, but the buildings too.

Dec-28-09		arnaud1959: We know how much Korchnoi is dangerous when he starts pushing his central pawns but it seems that Spassky wasn't impressed so much by them.

Dec-29-09		Ulhumbrus: 13 Ned2 undevelops the N to avoid exchanging pieces. An alternative is 13 0-0.
