Jun-21-11		chaarl: I guess Korobov resigned because of 33.Rxe5, since dxe5 would be followed by Be7.

Jun-22-11		kingfu: I guess K blew a piece. Was it becuase of the opening? Or was it because of the rating difference?

Jun-22-11		jon01: Korobov overpushed, but it's nice to see some fighting chess.

Jun-22-11		bronkenstein: Excellent comment from Crestbook : http://online.crestbook.com/khimkin... . Even if you dont know Russian , interactive board (including variations OFC) and exclamation marks will give you good insight. Key moment is 17...Ngf4! ˝spending almost all of his time on this excellent move , which even computers didn`t understand @ first sight˝ (which is , anyway , typical for strategical sacrifices). Pono trusted his opponent , and after short thinking simply declined the sac . Position remains complex , with Korobov having minutes on his clock @ that point. Unfortunately, since Korobov had less than a minute already around some 20something (?) move , the symphony remained unfinished ...

Jun-29-11		stanleys: 18...Qd7 was much stronger than 18...Nxe2?

Jun-29-11		bronkenstein: <18...Qd7 was much stronger than 18...Nxe2?> In the the link above they simply described it as stronger. But black`s main issue was time trouble , not the position anyway.
