Jun-01-18 | | WorstPlayerEver: 33...Bxa2 what an incredible B L U N D E R ^^ |
|
Jun-01-18 | | whiteshark: * 5m:45s that is |
|
Jun-01-18 | | ChessHigherCat: I thought MVL would play c4 knight moves and Qb6+! |
|
Jun-01-18 | | Marmot PFL: 35 Nf4 Bxc4 36 Nh5 Rf7 37 Re8+ would be quick but painful. |
|
Jun-01-18 | | ChessHigherCat: Black could play Bxc4 because the white rook is on prise but the problem is that QxB with check, so it's time for Kh8 |
|
Jun-01-18 | | ChessHigherCat: <Marmot> I think you're probably right about MVL overlooking Qh4 |
|
Jun-01-18 | | ajile: <ChessHigherCat: Actually Kh8 RxB KxB Qg5+ looks a bit gloomy and doomy> You meant Qg4+ correct with the threat of Rd7?
There is a pawn on f6. |
|
Jun-01-18 | | Gypsy: Black position looks wrecked |
|
Jun-01-18 | | WorstPlayerEver: Wow must be the pressure; 34. c4 was hard to miss. |
|
Jun-01-18 | | ajile: 35.Nf4 was a killer blow. Black is doomed. |
|
Jun-01-18 | | Marmot PFL: So and Anand say no defense to Qh6, so resigns |
|
Jun-01-18 | | JPi: Looks like an opening prep. One should not forget that Karjakin was the last WC challenger with a team for his opening preparation. MVL should broaden his defence repertory. Everybody waits him on Najdorf or Grundfeld defence. By the way this remember me Siegen Ol when Spassky played Fischer. |
|
Jun-01-18 | | ChessHigherCat: <ajile> I said Qg5+ right before black played f6, in fact I think that's one of the reasons why he played f6 instead of Kh8 |
|
Jun-01-18 | | ajile: <ChessHigherCat: > Rgr that. |
|
Jun-01-18 | | WorstPlayerEver: “I love it when a plan comes together.” |
|
Jun-01-18 | | ChessHigherCat: Damn, Car-jackin's got it because g1=Q doesn't do anything. Boo-hiss, and, oh, Congratulations Sergey! |

 | | An Englishman: Good Afternoon: Someone should convict Black's g2 pawn of treason. Did nothing but shield White's King. |

Jun-01-18 | | ChessHigherCat: < An Englishman: Good Afternoon: Someone should convict Black's g2 pawn of treason. Did nothing but shield White's King.> I know you're joking but the g2 pawn was the heart of black's game because it created mating threats if black could ever check on d4 (B+) or g6/h7 (Q+). That's why I was so surprised (=disgusted) when MVL gave up that pawn by playing Bxa2, but I think that was more of a desperado "que vogue la galère" (or in plain English W*T*F?) move than anything else. |

Jun-02-18 | | Ulhumbrus: Suppose that instead of 32...f6 Black tries 32...f5 with the idea of ...Be4. This keeps White's N out of g4. However on 33 Nf3 Kh8 34 Ng5 h6 35 Ne6 Bxe6 36 Rxe6 threatens 37 Rxh6+ Bxh6 38 Qxh6 Qh7 39 Qxf8+ wins and on eg 36...Rc8 37 Rxh6+ Bxh6 38 Qxh6+ Qh7 39 Qf6+ Qg7 40 Qxg7 is mate. More flexible seems 32...Kh8 33 Nf3 h6. This suggests that 32...f6? is a serious mistake which loses an important tempo for the defence. |

 | | beatgiant: <Ulhumbrus>
Black does not have time for <32...Kh8?> because of 33. Rxg7 Kxg7 34. Qg5+ Kh8 35. Qf6+ Kg8 36. Ng4 with an unstoppable attack. |

Black does not have time for <32...Kh8?> because of 33. Rxg7 Kxg7 34. Qg5+ Kh8 35. Qf6+ Kg8 36. Ng4 with an unstoppable attack.> This suggests that Black is lost already. If White threatens a winning king side attack one alternative to 28...Bf3 is 28...Bg6 |
