 | | moronovich: Looking forward to the annual TalTal Steel Memorial. |
|
Apr-25-18 | | morfishine: Looks like Black had to give the exchange back, otherwise White could've interpolated <Qb7> threatening <f7> buying time to play <Nd5> escalating the chaos |
|
Apr-25-18 | | raadsheer147: I understand, morfishine. I always enjoyed the Bo vs. Bo games, very exciting! |

 | | chancho: Looks like a case of the draws. |
|
Apr-25-18 | | Marmot PFL: Looks like a well played fighting draw. |

|
Apr-25-18 | | morfishine: White must play 37.Rb5 otherwise Black has 37.Be5 blocking White rook from Q-side |
|
Apr-25-18 | | morfishine: Hey, I'm getting pretty good at this. This is my 2nd honorary GM norm (GM = Guess Move) lol |

 | | An Englishman: Good Morning: The risk taking comes to an end. Thinking that the players have grown mutually mistrustful of their position. Looking at 38.Kf3,Rd4(Rc4; Rb8+), and White has prevented ...Bc3. |
|

 | | chancho: So Giri looks to be the lone guy getting the full point in this round. |

 | | Mateo: Good defence from Mamedov. It's a very drawish ending. |
|
Apr-25-18 | | ChessHigherCat: ChessHigherCat: I know this is a bishops of opposite colors ending but I still think white has winning chances. Black has three isolated pawns and white can parry the threat Bg1 with Bg2. Go Sven! I mean "Svengali", sorry! |

Apr-25-18 | | Count Wedgemore: <morfishine: Hey, I'm getting pretty good at this. This is my 2nd honorary GM norm (GM = Guess Move) lol> Hi, <morfishine>. That's funny. Perhaps those of us here who are best at guessing the moves should get the GuessMaster title! I se that Topalov had some chances in this game, but after Mamedov gave the exchange back, it looks very drawish. That's one of the the advantages of being up the exchange: one can often calm things down by giving back the exchange, if things are starting to look dangerous. Mamedov did the right thing here by playing 33...Raxe3, I think. |
|
Apr-25-18 | | Ulhumbrus: 41 Rb7 gets ready for Bd5 or b4-b5 |
|
Apr-25-18 | | BOSTER: This is draw. I guess that Mamedov's advantage disappeared after 33...Raxe3. |
|
Apr-25-18 | | Count Wedgemore: <BOSTER: This is draw. I guess that Mamedov's advantage disappeared after 33...Raxe3.> I disagree. Mamedov was up the exchange, but Topalov had a clear positional advantage. 33...Raxe3 was the right decision. |
|
Apr-25-18 | | Ulhumbrus: One way for Black to get into trouble is 41 Rb7 Bg1 42 Bd5 Rxh2+ 43 Kg4 Rf2
44 b5 Rf1 45 b6 Rb1 46 Rxf7+ Ke8 47 b7 |
|
Apr-25-18 | | Marmot PFL: The 5...e5 line still seems quite playable. Maybe that's why 3 Bb5 has become more popular. |
|
Apr-25-18 | | BOSTER: Maybe 33...Raxe3 has different opinion, but move 26...b4 was the beauty of the game. |
|
Apr-25-18
 | | chessgames.com: All the other games are finished, so we hope to see you come back tomorrow, same time (7:00am USA/Eastern). |

 | | offramp: <BOSTER: Maybe 33...Raxe3 has different opinion, but move 26...b4 was the beauty of the game.> Yes; that move gave a great counterattack, Earlier, I think g3 & Bg2 was too slow, and left the bishop pointing in the wrong direction. It looked better on d3. |
|
Apr-25-18 | | whiteshark: Mamedov followed his game played last month, S Sjugirov vs R Mamedov, 2018 with <20..Qb6> as new move. |
|
Apr-25-18 | | morfishine: <Count Wedgemore> Thanks, I'm trying to keep things light and funny Nice job in the last leg of the Chessbookie game! I'm getting crushed this leg :( |
|
Apr-25-18 | | Count Wedgemore: <morfishine> Well, this leg has only just begun, so plenty of time left to turn things around! |
