Jul-08-09 Granda Zuniga vs P San Segundo Carrillo, 2009    Bears092: I think 26. Qxg4 might put an end to that threat.      Apr-21-09 V Akopian vs Karjakin, 2009    Bears092: how about 17. Bxe5 followed by 18. Bxb5 is there anything in that?      Apr-11-09 H Sonntag vs M Auer, 1990    Bears092: 10. O-O-O or 10. Rd1 After Nxf6, the black N on d7 will be pinned. 10...Ke8 gets out of the pin but drops a full rook to Nxc7+      Apr-10-09 Caruana vs A Smirnov, 2009    Bears092: Very interesting opening choice by white. He is rather fortunate to have won, I think. After 14. Nf3, the position seems to have become a KID where white has wasted a few tempi. For example, we may have something like 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. Nf3 Bg4 6. Be3 O-O 7. ...      Mar-31-09 Kudrin vs M Wilder, 1987    Bears092: another interesting line which white didn't choose. 20. Bh7+ Kh8 (the king will end up on h8 anyway, and the tempo is more important than the bishop here) 21. Rxf7 Nc3+ 22. Kb1 (taking the knight with 22. bxc3 looks ugly, but the engine thinks it should work out to a perpetual ...      Mar-22-09 Amber Tournament (Blindfold) (2009)    Bears092: Could someone help me with how these blindfold games work? Each player has a laptop with a blank board and a list of the moves played? Also, how does the strength of the top players change when they are playing blindfold? Would a 2700 player blind be more or less even with say a ...      Mar-10-09 I Nyzhnyk vs L Petovic, 2009    Bears092: I put this through my computer to look for alternatives when the piece drops and it came up with a much more fun continuation for white on move 10. 10. Nxe5 Bxf2+ 11. Kxf2 Qh4+ 12. Kf1 Bxd1 13. Nxc6+ Kf8 14. Bxd5 Bxc2 15. Bd2 Bxd3+ The computer evaluates it as a full point better ...      Mar-03-09 Grischuk vs Radjabov, 2009    Bears092: <MyCatPlaysChess: I am curious if someone with a computer could tell me if the line 22.Bb2 b5 23.Bd5 works....> My computer says 23...bxa4 24. Bxc6 axb3 25. Bxa8 Rxa8 26. Bxe5 gives black a slight advantage, but nothing that should lead to a victory.      Mar-01-09 Dominguez Perez vs Carlsen, 2009    Bears092: If qxb3 in that spot, white's king can't move so he gets rid of the queen and draws      Mar-01-09 Ivanchuk vs Radjabov, 2009    Bears092: he didn't go for 15. Nxe5. Interesting
