 | | tamar: Here we go. Naka has found his winning attempt. |
 |
| Oct-21-12 | | bubuli55: There they go but I don't see it. Playing out the draw? |
|

 | | whiteshark: Well, why not try to create a passer on the g-file. |
|
Oct-21-12
| | tamar: Probably a draw now. 54 Kg2 was too slow. |
|
Oct-21-12
| | tamar: 59 f4 Forward Nakamirich!
But it would have been more dangerous on move 54. |
|

| | tamar: No time, but Naka will kick himself for missing 61 g6! if he draws this game. |
|
Oct-21-12
| | tamar: Wow. 61...Be7 allows 62 g6 again. Nakamura plays it! |
|

| | achieve: Did Giri lose on time?
Or did he resign? |
|

 | | SCUBA diver: The g pawn cannot be stopped. g7, R-h8, g8=Q |
|

| | tamar: Giri collapsed after 59 f4, but 59...Rh4 likely would have held, as he gains a tempo before capturing on f4. Players did a 5 minute or so postmortem, but no sound. Lipreaders, anyone? |

| | achieve: Lesson: Never offer a draw, even super-talents like Giri can just hand the game to you in just about any position, when put under pressure. Originally signed,

 | | HeMateMe: 60.g5 is nice, the winning move. |

 | | King Sacrificer: Here's Black's best try for patzers like me (from Fritz 6): <64... Rf5+ 65. Ke2 Rf8 66. Rxf8 Bxf8 67. g7 Bxg7 68. Bxg7> and White has all the time to grab the black pawns with his king and promote. <64... Bf6> leads to an easier win for White after; <65. Bxf6 Rf5+ 66. Ke2 Rxf6 67. g7 Rg6 68. Ra8> and Black sacs his rook for the pawn. |

 | | andrewjsacks: Typical Naka win, and a good one. Here's hoping his little slump is over. |
|

 | | messachess: Did you guys get all the tricks and traps in that? Personally, I can't wait for my next Ruy! |
|
| Oct-21-12 | | braimondi: Coffee-house play by Giri. |

| | HeMateMe: I wish I'd thought of that! |
|
| Oct-22-12 | | diceman: <HeMateMe: 60.g5 is nice, the winning move.> Whats funny is g5 was the winner last
time they played. |
|
| Oct-23-12 | | blitzpatzer: What if Giri played 61. ... Rf7 ? |
|
Oct-24-12
| | King Sacrificer: <blitzpatzer: What if Giri played 61. ... Rf7 ?> <62. Kf3> now what?
<62... Rf8 63. Rxf8 Bxf8 64. g6> and Black has to sac his bishop. Any other Black move at 62 will make White push the pawn. |
|
Oct-24-12
 | | Stonehenge: He should have tried 61...f3+ 62. Kxf3 Rh4. |
