Jun-25-14  iking: < 42. W So vs Ivanchuk ½-½ 59 2014 9th Edmonton International B46 Sicilian, Taimanov Variation

43. W So vs Ivanchuk ½-½ 85 2014 49th Capablanca Memorial B46 Sicilian, Taimanov Variation

44. Anand vs Movsesian ½-½ 41 2014 FIDE World Rapid Championship B46 Sicilian, Taimanov Variation>

the classification of B46 can be Paulsen and Taimanov?

Jun-25-14  Howard: Let me look up the final position on the six-piece endgame tablebase to see if that draw result was justified....

This is a theoretical draw (7-piece tablebases).

Jun-25-14  MountainMatt: Nice to see them fight it out instead of calling it in 20.

  Penguincw: I agree.

Also nice to see the use of zwischenzug. Instead of playing 41.Kxd2 (which would've dropped c4), So waits 7 moves to exchange a pair of rooks and 2 pawns off the board before re-capturing.
