znsprdx: Could 12...Ne4 be worth exploring?
12.....Ne4 13.NxNe4 BxNe4 now I'm not convinced the sac works 14. Bxe6 BxBg5+ 15.QxBg5 fxBe6 Now 16.Nxe6 is not playable :) So then if Qxg7 maybe 0-0-0 is good enough 17.exd6 Qxd6
18.R[h] e1 R[h] g8 with a lively game

znsprdx: - Moro had a 'slam dunk ' after 22.Bd2.He probably chose ...Nc3 because he didn't like the counter-play in the seemingly obvious Na3 perhaps because of 23.Rxb4!? cxRb4 24.NxNa3 Bc3 25.Nc4 resulting in a rather volatile position
Personally I think the recapture23... bxBc3 would ...

znsprdx: Wow Bb2! This was a fantastic game - Kudos to Svidler!! He had Carlsen's number - he didn't let himself become intimidated - even by the cheap attempt to trap the Bishop. A good lesson: sometimes getting what you want can be your undoing.

| |
|
znsprdx: after 20.fxe3, I was almost certain Qg6 forced mate-as perhaps did Kramnik with his reply Ne7, also the only way to defend against Rh5, which seemed to be the natural try as it regains the sacrificed piece ...Ng8 22.Be4 Nh6 23.Bxb7. As enticing as e4 may have appeared it was ...

znsprdx: Would someone please provide the forced winning line for Black - I realize it must be some kind of zugswang theme resulting in K&P vs k&r but it seems there are many tactical threats in White's favor due to knight forks.

znsprdx: Has anyone looked at 35...R[1] d4 - it certainly provides more options than the suggested lines...since winning a2 may not so easy

znsprdx: <Illogic: ..... Adams also said that it was not really fair that such a move should be winning....> This is the singly most profound and relevant commentary one can make about the elusive character of "truth" in chess. It describes the reality of chess as being a pure 'game' ...

|
znsprdx: Cute point is that b7 is a poison pawn which is a type of common oversight for the less than 1600 player - and sometimes even grandmasters :) judging by a recent host of pretty simple oversights at the 2700+ level 13.Nc5 the third time this knight moves: the real point behind ...
