  SteinitzLives: Black was busted after 33. . . . . .Kh8, but what a shame to see the time trouble toast him just after he appeared to have survived to get some potential counterplay. Oh well, that's the inconsistent Chucky we know and love.

  robotin: Will we get the Naka game now ?
Oct-10-11  DrMAL: yes great game for Magnus congrats to him!
Oct-10-11  Marmot PFL: Naka a pawn up, but a backward pawn so win is doubtful.
Oct-10-11  Marmot PFL: Naka may have lost on time at move 40 (?)
