| Feb-23-10 | | chessic eric: <badest: How can Gris attack while keeping e3 and guarding the f2 square...> Bc6 is an interesting try, protecting a4 and allowing the knight to spring. |

 | | swordfish: The other two games today were drawn, so if Topalov can hold this, he is virtually certain of winning the tourney. |
|
| Feb-23-10 | | ajile: Maybe white wants Bc6-Bb5. White is kinda tied up here a bit. |

|
| Feb-23-10 | | ajile: So White is actually winning with correct moves. |
|
Feb-23-10
| | Ulhumbrus: One possible plan for White is h3 and g4 |
|
| Feb-23-10 | | uscfratingmybyear: 42...R b4 puts the cuffs on the white Q. |
|
| Feb-23-10 | | percyblakeney: This looks like a draw to me. |
|
Feb-23-10
| | Ulhumbrus: I am off for now. It remains to be seen whether Grischuk will try to arrange h3 and g4. |
|
| Feb-23-10 | | chessic eric: judging from the Rybka line, it looks like <Bf3> must intend Bxh5,gxh5 Qxf5+ if black's response is to try to exchange queens... |

I didn't think so, but I was wrong.Yes.

Interesting idea. But could a human see this idea?> I'm trying to find a forced win from there and haven't yet (although there is nothing forcing black to recapture on h5). 42...Re2 (just played) might make the idea more visible than otherwise, but I doubt it would enter into white's plans. <If> someone played Bf3 against me, I suppose i'd at least consider the idea, but would soon conclude that it isn't a real threat (however mistaken i could be shown to be by the bot). |

Tricky stuff. |
