Jan-23-11		Raspje: Good, positional victory over Wang Hao. Giri is back on track after losing against Nepo and Kramnik.

Jan-23-11		DAVI DE RAFE: giri, savari giri giri

Jan-23-11		ycpl: Do you think 10. c5 would be good, gaining queenside space? Looks like Giri was playing for e5 (that's why we see Re1)

Jan-23-11		polarmis: As Sergey Shipov pointed out on his (Russian) video round-up of round 8 - http://www.crestbook.com/files/Wijk... - there's a nice "tower" on the d-file after 9...Bd6 :)

Jan-23-11		KingG: <Do you think 10. c5 would be good, gaining queenside space?> The problem with 10.c5 is White doesn't have enough control of the e5 square, which means Black will find it easy to play ...e5, when he will at least be equal.

Jan-24-11		jmboutiere: 17 ...Bb4 better than 17...Rab8 17...Bb4 18.Bb4 ab 19.Rb4 f5 20.Bd3 c5 21.Rbb1 Bf3 22.gf cd4 23.ed4 Rf6 with equal chances

Feb-11-11		ReikiMaster: 34.Rxb6 combined attack with defense perfectly.
