Mar-20-10		kurtdereli: very quick defeat!

Mar-23-10		rapidcitychess: Black was easily losing, but he could hang on. HE was playing like a patzer that I could beat. 5...KNP-KN3(g6) was a novelty., and a bad one at that. His bishop is better at K2(e7). 5...KNP-KN3(g6) may go for Gruenfeld-type pressure on both pawns, but his knights will not be happy! The rooks would do okay, but the pawns would be traded wit a free game. This time Karjackin was Karjacking again! Here he defeats a world champion. For his (evil) novelty in the opening, He recieves a big attack. Like I said, <black can hold on> but is will not be pretty. If white makes inaccuracies in the ending( very possible in rapid chess)maybe he can draw, but not without consuming valuable time. Being a rapid champion Karjackin. RCC is proud of you! apidCityChess

Mar-25-10		Bdellovibrio: 23...f7 and then 24.xf6+ xf6 25.xf6# or 24.xf6+ g7 25.g6+ f7 26.g7#. Black cannot hang on for more than three moves.

Mar-25-10		Bdellovibrio: ...and 4...g6 is not a novelty, it appears in 33 previous games in the CG database alone: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches...
