 | | suenteus po 147: A wise try on Nakamura's part to test Radjabov's Sicilian since it's been failing him recently. |
 |

 | | Domdaniel: Is that *blue sky thinking* all around Nakamura's head? |
|
| Jun-20-11 | | Gordon1306: I favour Naka here as the Black d4 pawn must surely fall. |
|

 | | okba12: if d4 falls then a3 falls tooafter the exchanges |

 | | waustad: What a pout in that pic. Is Naka trying out the "model scowl" to follow Carlsen to the runway? |

 | | Ulhumbrus: <Gordon1306: I favour Naka here as the Black d4 pawn must surely fall.> An immediate capture may lead to some excitement. One hardly conclusive sequence is : 26 Bxd4 Bxd4 27 Qxd4 Qxd4 28 Rxd4 Rc3 29 Rd3 Rxd3 30 Bxd3 Kf6 31 e5+ Kxe5 32 Bxh7 Kxd5 33 Be4+ Kd4 34 Bb7 Kc3 35 Bxa6 Kb3 36 g3 Kxa3 37 h4 gh 38 gh Kxb4 39 h5 Kc3 40 h6 Bf5 41 Bxb5 |

 | | ketchuplover: OMG Carlsen resigned all the games of his life!! That might hurt his rating!! luv it!!! |

| | Domdaniel: <ketch> - < OMG Carlsen resigned all the games of his life!! >
Eh? That's a novelty. |

| | watwinc: Is there anything left in the position after this? |
|
Jun-20-11
 | | hoodrobin: carlsen and karjakin sharing first place! |
|
Jun-20-11
 | | virginmind: well, "a pawn's a pawn"... |
|
Jun-20-11
 | | Strongest Force: Something is wrong with life if Nak can't win this |
|
Jun-20-11
| | waustad: Will tomorrow bring a quick draw to share first on getaway day or blood and guts? |
|
Jun-20-11
| | Ulhumbrus: My present forecast is a draw |
|
Jun-20-11
| | Domdaniel: Should be winnable in due course. Apart from the pawn, Black's kingside is a bit ragged and White now has no real weak points. |
|
Jun-20-11
 | | Frankovich: I'm no endgame expert but I don't see how White can make progress. |
|
Jun-20-11
| | Strongest Force: This is no draw. The great ones find a way. |
|
Jun-20-11
| | Ulhumbrus: 31...h5 invites the attack g3 and h4 as Black can't play ...h6. However on 32 g3 h4! answers the threat. |
|
Jun-20-11
| | hoodrobin: it seems white could gain a passed pawn |
|
Jun-20-11
| | watwinc: Black puts his king on e5 and white has no entry route to the k-side. Radjabov can throw it away, but I don't see a white win anywhere. |
|
Jun-20-11
 | | moronovich: Black puts his king on e5 and it is a fortress (as long as black covers b5 with his Bishop (after axb5,axb5).But likely Naka will give it a (short) try. |
|
Jun-20-11
| | ketchuplover: I give black a slight edge. |
|
| Jun-20-11 | | Gordon1306: <ketchuplover> What edge? Blak is a pawn down. |
|
Jun-20-11
| | ketchuplover: i thought black could lure white's king toward the h file,then bring the king to e5-d4 etc |
|
| Jun-20-11 | | Gordon1306: Draw? |
