 | | PawnSac: FSR:
interesting prohecy. maybe so. many variables. |
|
Apr-20-24
 | | FSR: Firouzja under a minute with two moves to play. |
|
Apr-20-24 | | whiteshark: If you don't have your time under control, you shouldn't .... |
|
Apr-20-24 | | jphamlore: It might have won material, but I suspect Fabi's 23. .. h3 will go down as a positional blunder, allowing the eventual deadlock. |
|
Apr-20-24
 | | PawnSac: f3 looks like a nice square for the K. |
|
Apr-20-24
 | | PawnSac: oh! he played it. now a5? |
|
Apr-20-24 | | whiteshark: Waiting to post: <When the Xchange kicks in>. |
|
Apr-20-24
 | | FSR: Is that really Caruana playing Black? He looks like the young Bruce Pandolfini. |
|
Apr-20-24
 | | perfidious: <FSR>, no mop of bushy hair, tho. |
|
Apr-20-24 | | whiteshark: <Tackling around>, as Tarrasch called it.
Tks 2 <perf> 4 letting me know. |
|
Apr-20-24
 | | PawnSac: it's like Pragg is baiting Fab into playing ..b5 |
|
Apr-20-24
 | | PawnSac: it looks like he wants the c5 pawn |
|
Apr-20-24
 | | PawnSac: trying to get activity for his B |
|
Apr-20-24
 | | Korora: It looks like it'll come down to "the soul of chess". |
|
Apr-20-24
 | | perfidious: No more tacking; time for an open fight. |
|
Apr-20-24 | | whiteshark: DIRP in the making |
|
Apr-20-24
 | | An Englishman: Good Afternoon: Position after 57.Ne3. Looking at 57...Rb2, because if White can get in Nc4 first, he *might* have a chance of erecting a fortress. |
|
Apr-20-24
 | | PawnSac: Pragg has a nice c passer |
|
Apr-20-24 | | whiteshark: I'm out for today. |
|
Apr-21-24 | | Atking: Gukesh has won. |
|
Apr-21-24
 | | FSR: Wow! Gukesh wins! This is the first time in three Candidates that Nepomniachtchi has not been in first place! |
|
Apr-21-24
 | | FSR: And Caruana wins! That could have been enough for a four-way tie for first, except that Gukesh won! |
|
Apr-21-24
 | | FSR: Caruana has White against Nepo in the last round, so it's not over yet. |
|
Apr-21-24 | | jffun1958: I think 74. ... Rxa1!! was the final blow, and Pragg could have resigned after that:
74. ... Rxa1!! 75.Rxa1 Bd2 76.g5 Bxe3+ 77.Kf5
Caruana is now up a bishop for a pawn. Maybe Pragg hoped to promote his passed pawn on e6 for compensation. He actually did later, but it availed him nothing, because Fabi was one ply quicker to promote his a-pawn in return and forced the trading of queens.Great game !
Candidate for Game of the Day! |

Apr-21-24 | | jffun1958: ladies choice |
