| artemis: if you search for Svidler, with the black pieces, when the opening is the petrov, you find "sorry, no games available."
http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... Now Chessgames is not a complete database, but it is very good. I doubt it is missing that many games of svidlers. |

| sitzkrieg: GM Gashimov,Vugar(AZE) (2679) - GM Svidler,Peter(RUS) (2746) [B43]
FIDE Grand Prix 2008/09 Baku/Azerbaijan (3), 23.04.2008 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 a6 5.Nc3 b5 6.Be2 Bb7 7.Bf3 Qc7 8.0-0 Bd6 9.a4 Bxh2+ 10.Kh1 Be5 11.axb5 Nf6 12.Be3 0-0 13.Qd3 d6 14.Rfd1 Nfd7 15.Qd2 Rc8 16.Be2 Nf6 17.f4 Bxd4 18.Qxd4 d5 19.bxa6 Nxa6 20.e5 Ne8 21.f5 Nc5 22.Bb5 Qd8 23.Rxa8 Bxa8 24.f6 Nd7 25.fxg7 Qc7 26.Bf4 Qb7 27.Rd3 Nxg7 28.Bxd7 Rc4 29.Qf2 Qxd7 30.Rg3 Kh8 31.Bg5 White wins 1-0 At least Svidler ("svidrawler") played a very interesting opening today. Pitty that it did not earn him a point. |

| positionalgenius: Svidler plays the sicilian kan every once in awhile, but I don't think I have ever seen him crushed like this. |

| sitzkrieg: <Svidler admitted that one the reasons why he lost was his aim for creativity.>
from chessdom.com..
Bravo to Svidler, hope he will stick to this idea and get a better return coming rounds! |

| sfairat: I just saw a game where this guy couldn't win a QvsR ending. Or was he prepaid to make a draw? |
|

 |
| sallom89: <sfairat> my friend, it is not always easy..specially when the rook sticks to the king, its like K+R vs K+N..the stronger is K+R but u cant always win it i believe..sometimes u reach the draw rule before you manage to capture the N or K. |
|
| May-14-08 |
| sfairat: sallom89, a K+QvsK+R is very easy to win. But this guy just didn't seem to know what he was doing. I have yet to see a game where the K was captured. |
|
| May-14-08 |
| slomarko: <a K+QvsK+R is very easy to win> actually it is not at all easy to win in time trouble. |
|
| May-14-08 |
| sfairat: I'll do it in 50 seconds. |
|
| May-14-08 |
| slomarko: i'm ready to bet you won't. |
|
| May-14-08 |
| sfairat: And I'm ready to bet I will. How do you want to find out which one of us is right? For instance, I can set up the position on my Chessmaster 9000 and see how long it takes me to win. |
|

| babakova: If money is bet it should be done live. As multiple tries erases the purpose. |
|
| May-14-08 |
| sitzkrieg: ooh this could become interesting. If it are bets about money, I suggest you both first transfer a large amount of it to me so I, unprejudiced in this conflict, can send it to the future winner. So where are we going to see this endgame? FICS, ICC or playchess? |
|
| May-14-08 |
| sfairat: I'm willing to do this on a functional internet site. |
|
| May-15-08 |
| slomarko: and how do you plan to prove you aren't using an engine? |
|
May-15-08
|
| sallom89: <Slo> i'm pretty sure he cant do it in 50 second when the Rook is close to the King. I remember that I held a draw against a 1700+ at playchess.com when i had a K+N and he had K+Q when he had 2 mins left. i guess Rook is much harder to capture than knight, 50 seconds? what r u an engine or a Grandmaster? even a grandmaster failed once to win while setting the position in K+Q VS K+R :/ |
|
| May-15-08 |
| slomarko: <sallom89> i agree with you. i once watched an IM live playing a Q vs R endgame and it took him much longer than 50 secs. |
|
| May-15-08 |
| euripides: The effect of computer analysis on Q vs R has been to show that, although winning, the ending is very tricky - or as Mueller and Lamprecht say 'quite difficult to win if the defender played precisely'. |

| brankat: <sfairat> I You can really do this consistently, with such an ease and so fast, then You are wasting Your time here. You should be competing in high level OTB tournaments playing against GMs, or at least IM's and FMs :-) |
|
| May-15-08 |
| sfairat: I have been playing the computer a lot lately and at least 2-3 times in the past couple of weeks I had a K+QvsK+R. I've won easily and very quickly. Hence my surprise when a GM rated over 2700 missed the obvious moves. I saw how to win Svidler's endgame immediately, in much less than 50 secs. I wish this made me GM level, but it doesn't. Just an easy ending to win if you know what you are doing. "and how do you plan to prove you aren't using an engine?"
The thought of using an engine never occurred to me. Sorry, but I think cheating in something like this would be retarded. |
