Oct-17-12		braimondi: Brilliant game from Radjabov!

Oct-17-12		fisayo123: Ponomariov is a well-known client of Radjabov. This is a classic case of he hunter getting hunted. 36..c3! is a lovely blow.

Oct-17-12		hellopolgar: <Classical games: Teimour Radjabov beat Ruslan Ponomariov 4 to 0, with 9 draws. Including rapid/exhibition games: Teimour Radjabov beat Ruslan Ponomariov 5 to 0, with 10 draws.> http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches...

Oct-17-12		Jafar219: Very good positional play by Radjabov.İt reminds Karpov`s style during 70-80`s.

Oct-17-12		observer 205: Hey community! What do you think: what after 34. Kg1?

Oct-17-12		Eyal: After 34.Kg1 Black can bring the bishop back to b5, to defend the c4 pawn, or try the exchange sac 34...Rxe4 35.Bxe4 Rxe4. But apparently 34.Ke1 in itself isn't a mistake - after 34...Bf5, 35.Rxc4 Bxe4 36.Kd2 looks ok for White. 35.Re2? loses, though - Ponomariov clearly missed 36...c3!! when he entered this line. (On round 5, he lost another game to a combinative gem - Svidler vs Ponomariov, 2012)

Oct-18-12		positionalgenius: Impressive play by radjabov.

Oct-19-12		OneArmedScissor: Classic Kramink style

Oct-20-12		notyetagm: Ponomariov vs Radjabov, 2012 http://www.chessvibes.com/reports/s... <On board one Ponomariov-Radjabov was equal all the time until the Ukrainian fell for a devilish trick based on a pawn promotion. Ponomariov, Ruslan - Radjabov, Teimour Eilat, 2012.10.17 34. Ke1 Bf5 <<<35. Re2? 35. Kd2 Bxe4 36. Rxc4 = 35... Bxe4 36. Rce3 c3 37. Rxe4 Rxe4 0-1>>>>
