Jul-25-06  Jafar219: Positional masterpiece! Karpov style.
Jul-25-06  notyetagm: <Jafar219> Oh, absolutely. Outstanding positional play by Radjabov. You combine this quality positional play with Radjabov's outstanding tactical skill and you have a World Champion in the making.
Jul-25-06  notyetagm: It just warms my heart to see <Radjabov>, a near Top 10 player, consistently playing the <King's Indian>, after so many top players abandoned it several years ago due to the Bayonet Attack.
Jul-25-06  notyetagm: What is this variations called, 8 d5 ♘e7 9 ♗g5 ?
Jul-25-06  KingG: Nice play by Radjabov, but what is White doing in this game? It's almost embarrassing.
Jul-26-06  Runemaster: <KingG> I agree. It's easy to talk after the event, but for a 2583 player, White's play seemed very weak in this game.
