May-09-12		newton296: sorry , meant Qe1 but Rg3 is more counter atack

May-09-12		Powerthinker: Kamsky goes too ahead of Robson in attacking.

May-09-12		offramp: After 22.Rg3 click for larger view It looks like white's centre might be going.

May-09-12		offramp: Ray might have come out of this quite well... PHEW!

May-09-12		beenthere240: But white has that great b pawn passer!

May-09-12		ChessMan94: The b pawn has a long way to go

May-09-12		newton296: maybe I'm wrong but it seems like black has an attack on the a filer if white isn't careful

May-09-12		Clodhopper: Gata had 19 ... b4 just waiting for the white pawn push. Master level riposte. It's Robson trying to salvage a draw now.

May-09-12		Powerthinker: Black kingside is like granite, and Black threats are more dangerous.

May-09-12		goldenbear: <Ray might have come out of this quite well... PHEW!> I disagree. I think White should now pray that f5 draws.

May-09-12		newton296: dang, how old is ray? he looks like he is about 9 tops?

May-09-12		ChessMan94: newton, you're right. We may see Ra8 soon

May-09-12		beenthere240: I think the open a file will be a headache for white.

May-09-12		goldenbear: I think we'll see Rc7 before we see Ra8.

May-09-12		offramp: I think 22...Nxe4 would have won for black - but that is all in the past.

May-09-12		newton296: <goldenbear: <Ray might have come out of this quite well... PHEW!> I disagree. I think White should now pray that f5 draws.> looks like your right click for larger view Analysis by Houdini 1.5a w32: 1. = (0.00): 1.f5 Bxe4 2.fxg6 fxg6 3.Rf1 Rf8 4.Qe6+ Kh8 5.c3 Rxc3+ 2. (-0.56): 1.fxe5 Ra8 2.Kb1 Qa5 3.Kc1 Re6 4.Qf2 Qxe5 5.Rg4 Rf6 (Doe, 09.05.2012)

May-09-12		kellmano: f5 calls out ot be played

May-09-12		goldenbear: <offramp> I thought so at the time, but surely I was wrong. Kamsky must have looked at that...

May-09-12		Sneaky: It's not as scary as it looks. Kamsky isn't the kind a guy to end up on the receiving end of a little little brilliancy.

May-09-12		newton296: <ChessMan94: newton, you're right. We may see Ra8 soon> Ra8 looks like a good attack but its very complicated here. can ray can handle this? wow

May-09-12		offramp: <goldenbear:> 22..Nxe4 does not quite look right now I look again - it lets the white squared bishop out of his prison.

May-09-12		newton296: f5 looks like the only good move so thats in ray's favor tic tic

May-09-12		ChessMan94: f5 could be met with Bxe4. If white takes with Bxe4 then black takes with Qxe4 threatening mate in c2.

May-09-12		ChessMan94: Ra8. Kamsky finally heard me :)

May-09-12		offramp: White is in a position where he can sacrifice massively on g6 as long as he takes last with his queen - that's perpetual. This is my 5000th post at chessgames.com!
