Dec-29-09		kingfu: The short draw allows Grischuk to win the tournament too easily. Svidler and Grischuk had a draw, so no tie break. Make Grischuk work. I would start with 20 Qe2.

Dec-29-09		beenthere240: Let's add up all of white's positional pluses. His rooks have 0 open files vs 2 for black, knight vs black's active bishop, passive vs active queen. Hmm.
