onesax: Sweet, feels nice to win one :) Instantly knew it was Conway's Life, but had to do a bit of googling and searching to find the article listing the names of all of the pentominoes.

onesax: I *really* hope that Koneru wins this game, I hate to think how many chessbucks I have lost on her if Hou stays undefeated ...

onesax: not a problem anyway Ohio, if I would've used the same picks for the real Round 4 as from YouRang's contest (which I would have), I got all 3 wrong :) Don't think I'll do that for the second half though, here I'm not placed too badly so I'll keep the predictions little more ...

| | Dec-01-10 G Wainwright vs Blackburne, 1906
| |
|
onesax: Hmm, I missed the 27. ... Qxe3 defence but OTB I would've found the continuation, since the only other black defence I did consider was 27. ... Qb8 covering the bishop and the back-rank mate, which I analysed lost to 28. Rxf8+ Qxf8 29. Bxg7+ Qxg7 30. Rxg7, leaving white up queen for ...

onesax: I was trying to work out which pawn to take with the knight. Can I interest anyone else in 20. Nxb5 as a possibility, picking up 3 pawns for the knight?

onesax: IMO, Black was quite cooperative in playing 39. ... exd4. I'm also amazed how several people considered this as black's only reply, like dzechiel I saw black's Qd5 possibility as his main defence in trying to draw. I missed d4, one of my main candidate moves was even 39. Kh2 to try ...

| |
|
onesax: <UnicornChessman> and <HeMateMe>, I'd have to say that 63. Bd1 was the correct move. If you're wondering why Garry didn't try to exploit zugzwang to win the e6-pawn, it's because he'd be unnecessarily opening up his own 2nd rank to the possibility of a perpetual check ...

| |
|
onesax: The move I analysed in my head, and the move I would have played OTB, was 21. Rxf7 with the continuation 21. ... Kxf7 22. Bc4+ d5 23. Qxh7+ Ke6 24. exd5+ ... I don't know if I would have played 23. exd5 upon reaching that move OTB, but I may well have. I don't *think* 23. Qxh7+ in ...
