 | | Stonehenge: So it's Svidler-Milov at 09.00EST. |
|
| Feb-05-09 | | amadeus: Milov is a good rapid player: he won a minimatch against Anand a couple of years ago (Corsica 2005). |
|

| | Stonehenge: <Peter Svidler plays off with Vadim Milov at 15:00 GMT+1 for first prize. The time limit will be 10 minutes + 10 seconds per move, two games played. If still tied, they play two further games at 7 minutes plus 7 seconds, with colours alternating between games 2 and 3. Then Armageddon - White has 5 minutes, Black 4, with Black having needing at least a draw.> |

 | | moronovich: <Milov - Svidler> In game 1. |
|
| Feb-05-09 | | paavoh: <amadeus> I think Svidler will still be better in rapid and blitz, he has done well in tough tournaments such as Mihail Tal Memorial. |
|
| Feb-05-09 | | Mulyahnto: Milov-Svidler (game 1): 0-1 |
|
| Feb-05-09 | | Mulyahnto: Svidler made it look easy in the end game of game 1. |
|
Feb-05-09
| | moronovich: Soon it will be 0-1.
Good thing about it : black will be forced to go all out in the second game.But extremly difficult with a player of Svidlers calibre. |
|
| Feb-05-09 | | Mulyahnto: http://www.gibraltarchesscongress.c... for a live webcam of the game |
|
| Feb-05-09 | | Mulyahnto: where are you watching it? This game ended 5 minutes ago. It's live at: http://www.gibraltarchesscongress.c... |
|
| Feb-05-09 | | paavoh: Seems to me Milov could have put pressure on the f7 pawn around move 24 and forced a draw. Anyone with comp analysis on this stage of the game? |
|
Feb-05-09
| | moronovich: <paavoh> Yes , he should have tried that. |
|
| Feb-05-09 | | DCP23: Svidler goes through a bunch of 2600+ rated GMs like a hot knife through butter. Looks like just another Bunratty for him. |
|
| Feb-05-09 | | malthrope: <DCP23: Svidler goes through a bunch of 2600+ rated GMs like a hot knife through butter. Looks like just another Bunratty for him.> I was just about to add if <DCP23> were here he would say... However, I must admit the term 'Bunratty' didn't occur to me! ~lol~ <grin> ;) |
|
| Feb-05-09 | | acirce: Time to congratulate Svidler very soon. |
|
Feb-05-09
| | moronovich: Best quess : soon it will be ½-½ offered by Svidler in a superior pos. |
|
| Feb-05-09 | | amadeus: I think Milov wants to lose this game. |
|
Feb-05-09
| | moronovich: And I think <amadeus> is thinking with another bodypart than Milov ...:) |
|
| Feb-05-09 | | Karpova: Svidler won |
|
| Feb-05-09 | | amadeus: Well, one can't blame Milov for trying... Congrats to Svidler! |
|
| Feb-05-09 | | malthrope: <acirce: Time to congratulate Svidler very soon.> Indeed! <amadeus> was right - Congrats Svidler! :)) |
|
| Feb-05-09 | | DCP23: <malthrope> lol!
<moronovich: Best quess : soon it will be ½-½ offered by Svidler in a superior pos.> Good guess, but Svidler actually won the second game too, for 2-0. |
|
| Feb-05-09 | | Marmot PFL: Svidler always seemed like a very good guy, for a GM. |
|
| Feb-05-09 | | dumbgai: I thought Milov could have tried a more aggressive opening in the second tiebreak game. From a worse position he tried attacking in the center and it didn't work at all. |
|
| Feb-05-09 | | paavoh: " ... a hot knife through butter.." It looked exactly like that - Svidler proved to be a monster in rapid/blitz - again! |
