Sep-28-11		boz: It's easy to see why Kramnik prefers to rid the board of queens early on.

Sep-28-11		haydn20: I think 50...a3 would win. 51. Qxb7+ doesn't hurt.

Sep-28-11		tamar: Are there press conferences at this tournament?

Sep-28-11		talisman: took my son to football practice(6th grade size 13 shoe...i say that because i'm a little man) 2 hours ago and these guys are still playing?!!! you guys bettert tell me what i missed!

Sep-28-11		Arcturus: You missed moves 18 through 50

Sep-28-11		talisman: e6.....

Sep-28-11		technical draw: Cold blooded Chucky is not afraid of the discovered check.

Sep-28-11		talisman: bingo...ballgame

Sep-28-11		ajile: lol sure seems like it's taking forever for Black to move that a pawn one more space.

Sep-28-11		ajile: Now here comes a bunch of checks.

Sep-28-11		talisman: after g6 then what?

Sep-28-11		tamar: You missed 231 eyebrow twirls and nose rubs by Chucky, and 18 glasses adjustments by Anand.

Sep-28-11		talisman: guess we'll find out...g3 maybe...

Sep-28-11		Arcturus: 52) Ne5 then 52) . . . Bxc4 These checks are forced. c4 falls.

Sep-28-11		talisman: thanks <tamar> lol...

Sep-28-11		haydn20: Anand is slippery as an eel!

Sep-28-11		talisman: f5..............

Sep-28-11		technical draw: Chucky is playing fast. He thinks he has this one in the bag...

Sep-28-11		talisman: patzer sees check?????

Sep-28-11		Arcturus: White has no threats and all the work to do. Putting white in time pressure would be irresistable for me if I was playing the black pieces.

Sep-28-11		talisman: talkin bout e4...?

Sep-28-11		tamar: 58 Qc1 Anand retreats to the baseline. Ivanchuk should win, but after 58...Be4+ 59 Kg3 8 minutes might not be enough to find the concluding blows.

Sep-28-11		ketchuplover: Bf5 seems prudent imo.

Sep-28-11		ajile: The threat is Qe4+ trading queens.

Sep-28-11		tamar: After 64 Qf2 Kg6 65 Qf4 is the eye-popping suggestion of Rybka. Stalemate if taken of course.
