Oct-17-05  Poisonpawns: Gm5 1991 canidates Dreev won gm 3 in this variation but deviates first with 8.bxc3 in gm 3 8.Qxc3 h6 9.e3 bd6 10.Bb5+ c6 11.Ba4 was played and Dreev went on to win a nice game.Seems that blacks position is better after 8.bxc3 so i think 8.Qxc3 is better but perhaps Dreev is trying to avoid preparation from Anand.In an equal position,Dreev tries to make use of the pin on the e-file by playing f4!? and seems to have over looked the check on c5.So 29.Be3 was more prudent.After 31..Qc5+ black is just down material 32..Qd6!? is ok but Anand can put Dreev away with 32..Qxa3 and what can white do?after 54.Nd4 Anand plays 54..Rxg2! a nice combination and securing a win.Dreev needed a win here went for it and lost :-) what can i say?Happens to all of us.
Oct-17-05  Poisonpawns: final gm 1991 canidates.Dreev in his last chance for a win plays a vitrolic line in the french defense.The first 19 moves here are theory! and black sacs a piece for some pawns and a dangerous attack.This game is a tactical slugfest.I leave the annotation to the pro`s :-)All I can say is that it takes 1 slip from either side and the game is over.Dreev SLIPPED with Qb5? threating mate. and The game is lost for black after Rc7!!which is forced mate in 7! Anand would go on to face Gm Vassily Ivanchuk in his next canidates match in 1992.I vanchuck had just crushed Gm Leonid Yudasin 4.5-0 in their canidates.
Oct-14-08  Shams: superb game from Vishy. 14...Rfd8!
