 | | keypusher: <Strongest Force: White has won game...time to switch to baseball> Pono had a won game last time he had white (I think)...we all know how that turned out. |
|
May-21-11 | | Marmot PFL: If nothing else black has a good knight outpost on e4. |
|
May-21-11 | | watwinc: Ne4 and Re4: looks tempting - a passer on e5 or connected passers on the K-side, and the knight fork on g5 ... |
|
May-21-11 | | Gypsy: <Marmot PFL: If nothing else black has a good knight outpost on e4.> I wonder if we may see another Pono x-change sac if Back plays Ne4. |
|
May-21-11 | | Marmot PFL: last time with white Pono also sacrifice the exchange and had a strong knight. |
|
May-21-11 | | Gypsy: < Marmot PFL: last time with white Pono also sacrifice the exchange and had a strong knight.> Eerily similar. (But this time, the knight is(!) the last minor on the board.) |
|
May-21-11 | | Marmot PFL: White can regain exchange with Qc4+ and Nxh7 but that allows Qd2+ and anyway the knight is very strong on g5. |
|
May-21-11 | | Gypsy: <39.Qe2> maybe? |
|
May-21-11 | | watwinc: Why give up the e pawn????? |
|
May-21-11 | | Marmot PFL: Maybe another queen ending coming up. |
|
May-21-11 | | Gypsy: If <41...Qxe6>, then I do not see a White win. |
|
May-21-11 | | Gypsy: A draw already?!
Naka has escaped again. (A fun game to watch.) |
|
May-21-11 | | watwinc: What was Ponomariov thinking??? |

 | | tpstar: <chessgames.com> Tomorrow 5/22/11 is a rest day for Gelfand-Grischuk. |
|
May-21-11 | | Gypsy: This game is one of those where White keeps some advantage from the first move till practically the end. By the time Black equalizes, the position is a clear draw. To absorb pressure, Naka had to give; but he bent without breaking. The critical point probably was after the 34. Beside the game <35.Nh3>, White could have played the forcing <35.Qd1 Qf7 36.Re1 Kg7 37.Reh1 Rdh8>. But here too Black defense reconfigures just-in-time. |

|
May-22-11 | | deave: <watwinc:Why give up the e pawn?????> 40. e6 for the threat Nf7+ |
|
May-22-11 | | Garech: Another great game from the pair - almost like watching engines play; something about how the position looked! -Garech |
|
May-22-11 | | Everyone: <Administrator: Thanks to everyone for your participation in today's game.> That's a quite popular misunderstanding. |
|
May-23-11 | | parmetd: Nakamura claims this was 18 moves of preparation. |
