 | | ketchuplover: Vocaturo testing Nyzhnyk's nerves with 27.Bxh5 |
|

 | | ketchuplover: Nyzhnyk in time trouble :( |
|
Jan-30-11 | | Eyal: It looks like Vocaturo miscalculated and he might be actually losing now; he shouldn't have a perpetual (or a win) after 29...axb4 30.Bxg6, which I suppose is what he's planning - but of course anything can happen in time trouble. |
|
Jan-30-11 | | Kazzak: I'm not too unhappy with Nyzhnyk's position here.

 | | ketchuplover: Nyzhnyk can't handle the pressure :( |
|
Jan-30-11 | | Eyal: After 32.Nxd6+:
 click for larger viewNyzhnyk should be accurate now and play 32...Kxg6 rather than 32...Bxd6? which allows a draw after 33.Qh5 Nf6 34.Rxf6! Kxf6 35.Qh6+ with perpetual. |
|

 | | ketchuplover: it's gonna be a draw :( |
|
Jan-30-11 | | crazybird: <I'm not too unhappy with Nyzhnyk's position here.> I guess your hunch was right... |
|
Jan-30-11 | | Kazzak: We'll see - they'll play on.
Nyzhnyk had him, and is going to hate the fact.
But Nyzhnyk's playing is at another level entirely, and he'll put together a wall of chess, given a little time. |
|
Jan-30-11 | | siamesedream: Nyzhnyk spoiled his chance. Hope they will invite him to B group anyway. Congratulations to Daniele Vacaturo! |
|
Jan-30-11 | | Eyal: It's simply a perpetual, there's no play left after 32...Bxd6. Not that 32...Kxg6 was so simple - after 33.Qe4+ Black has to play the king to h6 and allow Nf7+ winning the queen; but Black has so much material already that he could afford it, at least he could keep playing for a win even if it's not trivial. |

 | | ketchuplover: congrats to Vocaturo. good luck in class B next year. good show by Illya. see ya next year. |
|
Jan-30-11 | | randyjohnson: AWESOME! |
|
Jan-30-11 | | Kazzak: Imagine if Nyzhnyk had found the winning Queen sacrifice - he would have been the hero of Wijk. |
|
Jan-30-11 | | moroloser: Eyal is always right, thx God. Great tournament by Vocaturo but I agree with <Kazzak> here, the russian kid will be a much better player in a very short time. I believe both deserve B group next year. |

 | | Peligroso Patzer: < *** the russian kid will be a much better player in a very short time. *** > Actually, Nyzhnyk is Ukranian. |
|
Jan-30-11 | | KingG: What a shame for Nyzhnyk. Nevermind, in a couple of years he will probably be playing in the A group. |
|
Jan-30-11 | | laskereshevsky: After all Nyzhnyk not deserved to win the tournament, basically cause He had a BIG Chance to do it, But didnt handled the pressure in a properly way.... I mean ♔xg6 in place of ♘xd6 much probably is a winning line..... But this is not a shame, after all is still more a child then a teenager...:) Credit to Nyzhnyk
Celebration to Vocaturo.... All in All the worthy winner |
|
Jan-30-11 | | laskereshevsky: Found in an Italian chess-site this picture in an editorial to celebrate the Voc. victory: http://soloscacchi.altervista.org/w... |
|
Jan-30-11 | | YouRang: Woo hoo! I had 100 chessbucks on Vocaturo. Sheer luck -- I liked his name. |
|
Jan-30-11 | | Bdellovibrio: Sachdev, the lowest rated player in the field, finished even, and was one of only three players to beat the leader. |
|
Jan-31-11 | | Kanatahodets: To call Nizhnik a Russian is the same as call French guy a British. |
|
Jan-31-11 | | BobCrisp: Some of those French guys were called Kings of England. |
|
Feb-01-11 | | moroloser: <Kanatahodets> Yes ok, deeply sorry about it, I've called the guy "russian" because I honestly thought that was his nationality and not because I don't know the difference between Russia and Ukraina as you seem to assume... But anyway thanks for your little lesson. |
