| sitzkrieg: Here is another example where
Karjakin efficiently realizes his advantages in the endgame.Adams vs Karjakin, 2007
Game was pointed out this afternoon by someone else at the Baku GP page. |

| Augalv: Never mind Sergey, there are eight more rounds to go. |
|
| Apr-29-08 |
| Warheart: Tomorrow Karjakin as white faces Carlsen... |
|

| sitzkrieg: Maybe he can win this endgame against Gashimov? |
|
| May-02-08 |
| sitzkrieg: <who said Sergey was worse in endgames?! > Actually I think it is one of karjakin's stronger points, winning endgames from a small advantage |
|
| May-02-08 |
| sitzkrieg: hmm kg4 maybe draw after all? |
|
| May-02-08 |
| sitzkrieg: haha brilliant, K back to f5, 2nd chance!? |
|
| May-02-08 |
| Augalv: <sitzkrieg: hmm kg4 maybe draw after all?> Maybe. |
|

| sitzkrieg: draw it is..Wonder if there ever was a win, Karjakin at least gave it a very good try |
|

| Augalv: <Wonder if there ever was a win,> Unfortunately for Sergey, there was no win. Bishop and pawn always succeed, except when it's a rook pawn and the bishop is a different color than the crowining square. In the folowing diagram:
click for larger viewThere's nothing that White can do since it can't force the White king out of the corner. After 1.kb5, kb7; 2.a6+, ka8; 3.kb6, kb8; 4.be5+, ka8, the most White can get from this position is draw via stalemate.
On the other hand, if the Bishop was an opposite color, the win would be too easy for White. |

| sitzkrieg: yes, that's correct but I wondered if it was a draw before, with the a and h pawn both still on. No way of preventing the king from reaching the a file on time, or some other way? |
|
| May-02-08 |
| sitzkrieg: thanks for the analysis by the way, anyway:) |

| rogge: A bit disappointing tournament for both Carlsen and Karjakin so far. Karjakin can still get a positive score, but needs 2/3 in the final rounds. Let's hope both the yongsters perform well towards the end. |
|
| May-02-08 |
| Augalv: <sitzkrieg:> Yeah, after posting the message I realized you meant if it was a draw before :) But to be honest, I don't see a win for Karjakin before during the game. |

| sitzkrieg: alas, it did not happen.
Still not bad performance by Karjakin, though probably a little disapointing. But i.m.o. he played solid and sometimes excellent chess, and his loss against Wang was a little bit unfortunate. Further he had good advantage in some games, but just not enough to convert it into a win.
Maybe his style has something to do with it, it's harder to win (and lose) then with the positions carlsen creates f.e. (who probably had more games that could have gone either way). Then again Yue played "solid" chess as well and he is going to finish first..
Next tournament Karjakin will do better! |

| aragorn69: <sitzkrieg> Your love and dedication to Karjakin is touching. Keep at it! |
|
| May-05-08 |
| sitzkrieg: I love all little boys equally. Carlsen has got my love too. But thanks for the encouragement. |
|
| May-05-08 |
| sitzkrieg: By the way aragorn, I thought you put me on ignore after Frogbert ordered it!? |
|
| May-05-08 |
| Augalv: I agree with you <sitzkrieg> but maybe he was a bit tired playing his third tournament in a row. <Next tournament Karjakin will do better!> I have no doubt Sergey will do much better in his next tournament! |
|
| May-05-08 |
| sitzkrieg: <maybe he was a bit tired >
That would correspond with his comment after the carlsen game before the break in the tournament |

Aronian's participation in the next Grand Prix is going to make it quite interesting. His is in his best form. |
