Oct-21-10		FISCHERboy: Damn, this Stevic is beaten so badly. He looked like a 2300 player.

Oct-21-10		FISCHERboy: One more win and he'll become world's number one in live rating of ELO (provided that Anand does not win a game in Nanjing).

Oct-21-10		aragorn69: Aronian is playing superb chess right now. If he gets to top the rating, it's deservedly so!

Oct-21-10		Ulhumbrus: The Rook sacrifice 32 Rg7+ serves to displace Black's King one square to the right so that Black can't answer the check Qb7+ with the interposition ...Ne7.

Jan-01-11		notyetagm: God how I love this game. Aronian is a tactical god. 32 g1-g7+!! Wow!

Jan-01-11		BobCrisp: <<Ulhumbrus: The Rook sacrifice 32 Rg7+ serves to displace Black's King one square to the right so that Black can't answer the check Qb7+ with the interposition ...Ne7.>> Actually, it's to deny the e6 square to the King after Qb7+, because 32.Qb7+ Ne7 loses to the now more obvious 33.Rg7+.
