Jun-05-10  Prugno: Really interesting stuff, from the opening (it would be nice to see the Vienna Variation more often at top level, but it's just too risky) to all the tactics which came later, right until the ending. Highly recommended for those who seem to believe that all draws are boring.
Jun-11-10  aragorn69: Mig's take on this wildly complex games (which I would love see deeply anotated somewhere...):

<But for real excitement, check out the draw between Riazantsev and Naiditsch. White gave up his queen for two minor pieces, got the queen back almost immediately, and then both sides played fantastic stuff (if inaccurate according to the comp, but still sensational; 32.Bg1 and Black runs out of steam) to slug to a draw by repetition. Wild human chess! > Source: http://www.chessninja.com/dailydirt...
