Jul-17-12		chessgames.com: We're switching now to Caruana-Gustafsson, already in progress. Just a reminder: tomorrow is a rest-day. Dortmund action continues on Thursday morning at 9:15am USA/Eastern.

Jul-17-12		haydn20: B+N vs R+P and inane remark to be first.

Jul-17-12		jhelix70: black has R and P for 2 pieces but white's kingside is shattered...black needs to watch for back rank mate

Jul-17-12		jhelix70: glad I left out the inane remark since I wasn't first after all...

Jul-17-12		tpstar: Hooray for the double feature! =) Interesting material imbalance, yet White's Kingside looks pretty drafty.

Jul-17-12		Ulhumbrus: On 30...Rxh3 31 Be4 Bd5 White seems in some trouble

Jul-17-12		Marmot PFL: Once again Caruana faces a troublesome time shortage.

Jul-17-12		master of defence: Maybe 30...Rxh3 now.

Jul-17-12		master of defence: <On 30...Rxh3 31 Be4 Bd5 White seems in some trouble> What after 32.Bxd5? If 32...Qxd5 33.Re8#.

Jul-17-12		jhelix70: <Once again Caruana faces a troublesome time shortage.> So does Gustafsson...

Jul-17-12		haydn20: I like Caruana's guts and IMO he has a much better position after 30. Bf4.

Jul-17-12		Marmot PFL: Maybe white can attack the king side black squares with Q,B and R. Black needs to watch out for this.

Jul-17-12		Ulhumbrus: <master of defence: <On 30...Rxh3 31 Be4 Bd5 White seems in some trouble> What after 32.Bxd5? If 32...Qxd5 33.Re8#.> That may be the reason why Gustafsson plays 30...g6 whereupon Caruana defends the h3 pawn

Jul-17-12		haydn20: 30...g6?

Jul-17-12		master of defence: What about 32.Rxa1?

Jul-17-12		haydn20: 31...Ra1?? Black is lost.

Jul-17-12		master of defence: Why not 33.Bxh5?

Jul-17-12		Marmot PFL: The 3 Russians are on top with 3.5 and nobody else can catch them this round.

Jul-17-12		kangaroo13: i strarted to count 7 minutes backwards

Jul-17-12		jhelix70: 1-0 caruana's threats were too much...

Jul-17-12		whiteshark: Gusti went down with flying colours.
