hcgflynn: Might be true, but black will have a passed pawn... maybe worths the risk? :)

hcgflynn: Oh my, Anand won in 23(!) moves against Aronian with black pieces. Nice game.

hcgflynn: I think 62. Qf4 was a weak move, I'd rather play 62. R2e4 instead which looks winning. Black can play 62. - Nxe4+ 63. Rxe4 Qg1+ (63. - Qxe4 64. Qxd8+ is lost for sure), though after 64. Kh4 I don't have any idea for a good defense.

hcgflynn: I think what is brilliant in this endgame for white is that 43. - b2 also loses for black due to 44. Kf6! Ne4+ 45. Kg6 and now the knight is blocking the b1-h7 diagonal, therefore there is no check after 45. - b1=Q.

hcgflynn: Nice ending. 30. Kc1 Rc8+ 31. Bc2 Ba3 looks beautiful.

|
hcgflynn: I'm wondering whether 62. Rxe2 is better than 62. Kf2. At least 62. Rxe2 Nxe2++ 63. Kf2 Rxd6 64. Kxe2 seems like an escape to me.

hcgflynn: Indeed, didn't see 44. - Bd3. I'm wondering whether 44. Be4 f5 45. Bd4 Bxd4 46. Rxc8 Bxc8 47. Bxf5 Bxf5 48. exd4 Be4+ 49. Kf2 would be enough for a draw, but probably not.
