  ajk68: Does 28. Qd6+ give white an advantage that he can convert?
Jun-24-10  jmboutiere: I visited Bazna - Medias 3 days ago. The desire to win of Carlsen was amasing, including the game with Ponomariov. He seemed to be very focused, open-minded, modest, ..., a great danger for Anand,Kramnik and Topalov.

  HeMateMe: Black's opening play looks like it should be punished. I bet the Romanian found a new wrinkle, that will probably be punished next time out.
Jun-24-10  jmboutiere: Nisi was very tense, dominated by the partner's ELO. The draw in this game is a great success for him, I supose
Jun-24-10  Helloween: <ajk68>28.Qd6+ wins for Black. After the Queen trade Black gets to e4 to protect his pawn. White has no choice but to push g and h pawns. Black gobbles those in exchange for pawn at e3. White King has to stop Black h pawn, while Black King invades Q-side and wins.

  HeMateMe: If that were true, wouldn't players of this caliber play through this ending in their heads, and Magnus would continue playing and win? you must be missing something in your analysis, I think.

  ajk68: Helloween: I'm not convinced white can't get to his g-pawn after taking e3, while having a more centralized king and/or a possible zugzwang.

  ajk68: The line I am thinking of is:
28. Qd6+ Qxd6 29. exd6 Kxd6 30. Kd1 Ke5 31. Ke2 Ke4 32. g4

Black would need to abandon his e-pawn to get the h-pawn. This gives white time to get to the g-pawn and leaves the black king on the wrong-side of the board.

It looks pretty much a draw to me unless there is a breakthrough on the queenside. White will end up protecting his pawn and black will not be able to march his king to the other side of the board (especially if white seizes the horizontal opposition after black grabs the h-pawn).

Jun-26-10  znsprdx: quel cojones or 'what balls!' I love this kind of lack of respect! There should be more of it! These guys play too much >GOAWOON< Chess (grinding-out-a-win-out-of-nothing)that next to no-one really understands, waiting for something to exploit which results from the game's natural synergy rather than from anything which was 'calculated'. Sadly too many players will be running to their 'engines' to find a bust - and another beautiful conception will be laid to dust. Ultimately Chess is doomed: unless perhaps Random 960 can save it...or, but I digress....
