| May-10-12 | | offramp: Nakamura is sweating he's rubbing his temples he's grimacing, picking up the clock, fidgeting, rubbing his eyes, glaring at the arbiter, scowling at the audience.... |
 |
| May-10-12 | | blazerdoodle: If he's got anything or not, he'd better get a move on it, hadn't he? |
|
| May-10-12 | | Snootwaller: Is Ray's clock really down to seven minutes? |
|

 | | Tiggler: Great move 26 ... Nc8 activating his N |

 | | Marmot PFL: Only try for white seems 29 Rd7, Rxb7 while black plays e4, e3 and see who wins the race. |
|
| May-10-12 | | blazerdoodle: It's been at 7 for some time, I think... |
|
| May-10-12 | | offramp: Black has the perfect pieces for an extremely loud, incredibly close and massively unexpected mating attack; but he has to get a rook on the second rank. |
|

 | | OhioChessFan: Kf7 might be best. Give up a Pawn for counterplay. |
|
| May-10-12 | | offramp: After 29.Rd7

| | Marmot PFL: I think white can win this ending race as black's crippled pawns can never help each other while white's a & b pawns can If so it means white picked a good plan on move 24 unless black had something better. |

| | OhioChessFan: I got one move right. I should quit now. Oh, I think predicting Rxb7 is safe. ;) |
|
| May-10-12 | | Powerthinker: Maybe Nakamura has some serious problems here, he knows it better than me. |
|
| May-10-12 | | offramp: I think 29...e4 might have given more counterplay. |
|
| May-10-12 | | blazerdoodle: I guess Robson going to lose on time, unless he starts flying... |
|
| May-10-12 | | theodor: what about 30.Nc7 |
|
May-10-12
| | OhioChessFan: 30. Rxb7 Rb4 31. Nd8+ Ke8 32. Kc1 Kxd8 |
|
| May-10-12 | | offramp: Both players are getting an extra 30 seconds a move throughout - Ray cannot (hardly) lose on time. |
|
| May-10-12 | | Snootwaller: Ray isn't worried about the clock. He's thinking "I'll just calculate on YOUR time, old man." |
|
| May-10-12 | | blazerdoodle: Thanks. |
|
| May-10-12 | | blazerdoodle: Is white's pawn better poised? |
|
| May-10-12 | | SamAtoms1980: <hms123> Pretty pure mate is pretty. |
