| May-24-11 | | Chesschatology: Bf5 is a classy move. Now White can play his Knight to d3, his R1-e2, and his Queen to e1, setting up Alekhine's gun. A totally ideal position. Of course he then needs to create threats, but Black will be hog-tied. |
 |
| May-24-11 | | madlydeeply: i think that white queen could be on e1 behind the rooks, the b2 knight needs a better spot too. dare i say hovering around the kingside? for a little saccy saccy? |
|
| May-24-11 | | Rawprawn: <21. Bf5 seems looks like a waste of time. (if you read this you just won a brand new car!)> But it wastes more time while black sorts himself out so a draw can be agree. Nice red Maserati please. |

 | | Ulhumbrus: Here is one idea for Black: ...g6, ...h6, ...Rg7, and ...g5 |

 | | tamar: 20...Re8-Rd8 21...Re7-Rf7 Gelfand is playing the 15 square puzzle. Sam Loyd would be proud. |

 | | moronovich: Wuaww !!
Now a new game begins. |
|
| May-24-11 | | lostgalaxy: Bh3 fails to e5! |
|
| May-24-11 | | Chesschatology: A blunder from Grischuk ? |
|
May-24-11
| | tamar: 22 Bg4 seems to allow 22...e5. Maybe Grischuk is happy to draw. |
|
| May-24-11 | | Chris00nj: The odd looking 24. Be8 seems to be White's next move |
|
| May-24-11 | | Chris00nj: We might actually have a game here, ladies and gentlemen. |
|
| May-24-11 | | SketchQuark: or Be6 if you prefer something more normal looking |
|
May-24-11
 | | Domdaniel: Grischuk will be very *unhappy* on failing to find a way to improve his earlier position. |
|
| May-24-11 | | madlydeeply: Isn't Grizz one of these poker playing grandmasters? perhaps he is confusing games with his bluffs and his playoffs (betting the river) |
|
| May-24-11 | | SketchQuark: and I think they are now going to agree on a draw soon |
|
| May-24-11 | | lostgalaxy: Re8 allows a favorable Queen sac. |
|
| May-24-11 | | Chesschatology: I hate to say it folks, but I think the game's now heading for a draw. Who saw that coming? ;) |
|
| May-24-11 | | AdrianP: Oh dear, leave my desk for 15 minutes and *this* happens (by *this* I mean ...e5, am still catching up with why it worked). |
|
| May-24-11 | | Rawprawn: <and I think they are now going to agree on a draw soon> Chessbomb already flashed their end credits up. That's an infallible sign. |
|
May-24-11
| | moronovich: Seems like they are entering a balanced endgame with a lot of play. |
|
| May-24-11 | | Chesschatology: This game resembles my efforts against little Chess Patzer. Get an overwhelming positional advantage in a closed position, miss a simple tactic, end up in a drawn ending. Although against LCP you can usually win them. |
|
May-24-11
 | | chancho: Gelfand gave a what the @#$% is going here look. |
|
| May-24-11 | | AdrianP: Black can be better after all this. White may have a temporary initiative, but the bishop will become a strong piece. Not to mention that the N on b2 or indeed on d3 is now completely misplaced. Silly Sasha. |
|
May-24-11
| | tamar: No matter what these guys try, it ends up even steven. |
|
May-24-11
| | Ulhumbrus: One important difference between the present game and the game Alekhine vs Lasker, 1924 is that in the latter game Alekhine played, instead of the pawn advance c4-c5, the exchange cxd5 with the result that Lasker was able to induce the weakening advance g4 by threatening White's d4 pawn by means of the moves ...Bb6 and ...Bh5. |
