Kibitzer's Corner
May-11-12  Marmot PFL: I was amazed that this was evidently the first game between these two. Kaidanov said it was easy to prepare for Kamsky and get a small edge because Kamsky has the smallest opening repertoire of any top player. Kamsky thought he was OK until he switched 2 moves with 15...Bb7? instead of playing 15...cd4 first.
May-13-12  ajile: White gets a good version of a Stonewall Attack since Black wastes a move with c6 and c5. Black wants to play c5 in one move against the Stonewall Attack.
May-13-12  wordfunph: "Well, I blundered. After dxc5 I was much worse."

  HeMateMe: Tuff loss. Gata will have to pick up an extra point somewhere. Naka is eratic. I think Kamsky can yet nip him at the wire.
