| | Penguincw: < twinlark: What a sad and horrible way to spoil an absolute masterpiece. > Looks like that way too. The computer gave analysis of 1.63, then as soon as the knight took, it's down to 0.08. |
|
| Mar-13-12 | | jtd200: tamar: That's how I roll! (That, and Fabiano is playing too well lately to bet against him when there's still significant doubt...) |

| | Penguincw: Hou Yifan is up a pawn, but I think it's still going to be drawn. ENDGAME STATS
♔♖♘♙♙♙ vs. ♔♖♗♙♙
Superior (White): 51.4%
Draw: Happens 42.1%
Inferior (Black): 6.8%
Endgame Explorer: RNPPP vs RBPP Won most of the time, but I think it's a draw for Caruana. He loses 1.8 (win is adding 3.2) but it's better than losing 6.8 for the loss. |

| | Penguincw: Draw! Only Sokolov and Avruhk have chances to catch Caruana now. |

| Mar-13-12 | | waustad: Does anybody know what happened with the Simon Williams game? The arbiter seems to have messed up placing the kings and I don't know the result. |
|
| Mar-13-12 | | waustad: They are on chessbomb, but the video seems to have been terminated. |
|
| Mar-13-12 | | ptrckmackay: which is the link to the Caruana's live game? |
|
| Mar-13-12 | | ptrckmackay: Game is over it was a draw. |

You'll find it somewhere, hopefully. :) |
|
| Mar-13-12 | | ptrckmackay: Thank you for the chessbomb website, I have already placed it in my favorites. |

| | Penguincw: Ok. Glad to help. :)
Note: This is the last round of the Reykjavik Open (2012). But that doesn't mean you can't use it for other tournaments. :) As with the game.

| Mar-13-12 | | kurtrichards: <Hou-Caruana> ... 17 minutes of deep thinking (so deep that it can be compared to the Marianas Trench) and taa...da... 41. Nxf7 ... several moves later and a truce was declared - 0.5:0.5
Alexander Kotov's discussions re: Blindspot and Dizziness Due To Success deserves to be read once more. Another grandmaster said, "It's hard to find a win in a winning position". :) |

| | Penguincw: Congratz to Caruana who won the Reykjavik Open (2012), half a point ahead of several players. |
|
| Mar-13-12 | | Billy Vaughan: According to Chessbase, Caruana was protected by guardian <angles>. It doesn't kill to copyedit, does it? |

 | | tpstar: "Caruana was protected by guardian <angles>." Maybe they meant <angle brackets>. :-) |
|
| Mar-13-12 | | Lupara: Maybe the guardian angels had an angle on how he would save a bad position after the first time control. |
|
| Mar-14-12 | | kurtrichards: Congratulations for winning the Reykjavik Open 2012, Fabiano! May your winning ways continue. :) |
