 | | Shams: I have to like Polgar in the rapid matches today. She should have a psychological edge coming off her brilliant equalizing win, and I see her higher class telling. A win with white, then a comfortable draw, you heard it here first. |

 | | kellmano: <shams> I think an over-optimistic attack and a defeat in game one. |

 | | Hesam7: <kellmano: <shams> I think an over-optimistic attack and a defeat in game one.> That already happened ... |

| | Shams: Stockfish has no problems with Judit's play so far, but that isn't to say that she's necessarily fine either. |
|
Sep-08-11
| | Shams: Xiangzhi Bu already has a pretty bad position, down a pawn and position in a queenless middlegame against Ivanchuk. |

| | Shams: A pawn is a pawn, but two bishops like that must count for something. |
|
| Sep-08-11 | | culei: Qa5 should be enough |
|

 | | hedgeh0g: Looks like a draw is imminent... |
|
Sep-08-11
| | Hesam7: <hedgeh0g: Looks like a draw is imminent...> Why? |
|
Sep-08-11
| | Shams: On 19.Qb4! white has a winning advantage. |
|
Sep-08-11
| | hedgeh0g: Because the queenside is about to be liquidated and the resulting position doesn't seem to hold much for either side. I might be missing something, but it just looks a little stale to me. |
|
Sep-08-11
| | hedgeh0g: OK I missed Qb4!... |
|
Sep-08-11
 | | tamar: Wow! Looks like Judit saw 19 Qb4 a while back. |
|

 | | whiteshark: A semipennate game now |
|
Sep-08-11
 | | Strongest Force: Push that sucker to b7 |
|
Sep-08-11
| | crafty: 32. ... d4+ 33.  xd4 xb7 34. f8+  g8 35. d8  (eval 6.15; depth 14 ply; 100M nodes) |
|
Sep-08-11
| | Strongest Force: If she could win yesterday, today should be a piece of cake |
|
Sep-08-11
 | | waustad: Both Cubans lost. |
|

| | whiteshark: Cuban woodpeckers |
|
Sep-08-11
 | | perfidious: It's always difficult to play after a tough defeat, and Dominguez does not show to advantage in this game, overlooking the trick 19.Qb4, after which he stood clearly worse. |
|
Sep-08-11
| | whiteshark: Zigars for the boyz, they both fought back into the tiebreaks. |
|
Sep-08-11
 | | sevenseaman: I thought Polgar was gone. Is the 4rth round 4 games? |
|
Sep-08-11
| | whiteshark: Finally both Cubans lost their respective second 5 min blitz game and thus dropped out. |
