 | | chessgames.com: This is the debut performance of Wang Hao in the featured live game of the day. We hope to see you all tomorrow at 8:00am USA/Eastern time! |
 |
Nov-05-10
 | | tpstar: This has all the earmarks of a prearranged draw. ;>D |
|
| Nov-05-10 | | rapidcitychess: <tpstar>
Hao did you come to that conclusion? :) |
|
Nov-05-10
| | tpstar: They had the gamescore and result from Shak-Naka which was drawn already. Of course they fixed it going fourth. Hao won a very nice game against Shirov, while Aronian upended Kramnik. |
|
| Nov-05-10 | | Marmot PFL: Yes, they will draw this game (and others too) and Kramnik will surpass them both. |
|
| Nov-05-10 | | rapidcitychess: <tpstar>
I already knew that, I was just making a pun...
<marmot PFL>
Kramnik will be out for... er... The king? Well, anyhoo, after a loss like that Kramnik will probably be forced bounce back, and will (hopefully!) take the Tal Memorial. |

 | | whiteshark: <C89> Ruy Lopez, Marshall lectures? |
|

 | | Wild Bill: This should be good. Aronian is the hot player right now. Except for Hou Yifan, Wang Hao is my favorite Chinese player. He's capable of have plus scores like Wang Yue at his best and is a lot more interesting. |
|
Nov-06-10
 | | Strongest Force: Kram should have easily won yesterday |
|
Nov-06-10
 | | Ulhumbrus: The games of the Anand - Topalov match suggest that a4 and Na3 could be promising for White. |
|
| Nov-06-10 | | Marmot PFL: This is kind of a white to play and not lose variation. Maybe they will find something new. |

| | whiteshark: A Catalan - D'oh! |
|
Nov-06-10
| | Ulhumbrus: 11 Bxf5 concedes the bishop pair to Black and 12...Bxf3 relinquishes it. It may be that both choices are wrong and concede more than they gain. |
|
Nov-06-10
 | | Eyal: They recently played the same line with reversed colors in Shanghai: Aronian vs Wang Hao, 2010. |
|
Nov-06-10
| | Ulhumbrus: 15 Rad1 defends the d4 pawn and gets ready for either d5 or e4 and e5 |
|
Nov-06-10
| | Ulhumbrus: One justification for 15 Rfd1, although not a serious justification, is that 15 Rad1 seems plausible and one always chooses the wrong Rook. In that case, what is White going to do with the Rook on a1? One possible plan is Rd3 followed by Ra1-d1. |
|
Nov-06-10
| | Eyal: ...And they're still following another recent game where Aronian was White: Aronian vs D Jakovenko, 2010. |
|
Nov-06-10
| | Ulhumbrus: 17...Qe7 blocks the square e7 for Black's bishop. Now 18 Ne4 can gain a bishop for a N, if White wants it. Perhaps Aronian plans to play for a type of position where a Knight is stronger than a Bishop. |
|
Nov-06-10
 | | moronovich: 17.Ne4 is the most obviuos move in the position--and seems to belong in every variation |
|
Nov-06-10
| | Eyal: A key point of 17...Qe7 is to avoid d5 which was threatened by White. Aronian himself, btw, played here 18.Be2. |
|
Nov-06-10
| | Ulhumbrus: As 19...Nd7 exposes the b7 pawn to capture this suggests the manoeuvre 19..Na6 followed by ...Nb4 |
|
Nov-06-10
| | moronovich: And dont forget the videocoverage.Just click on the link ,right of the diagram on this site. |
|
Nov-06-10
| | Eyal: Unlike Aronian in the game vs Jakovenko, Wang Hao avoids the queen exchange after ...Qb4. |
|
Nov-06-10
| | Ulhumbrus: Suppose that White offers Black the b2 pawn by 21 Qe4. On 21...Qxb2 22 Bd3 g6 23 h5 White forces his way to the h7 square |
