Sep-21-07  twinlark: Leko looks to be on the right track here, although it seems he could have played Qe1 a move earlier.
Sep-21-07  Wolfgang01: This is the fourth draw.
Sep-21-07  Marmot PFL: Grischuk defending well in inferior position.

  plang: Quadrupleheader!

Isn't that record?

Thanks

Sep-21-07  twinlark: Leko should have a King side crush here after taking the Knight and advancing the King side pawns.

  plang: Can't Leko play 48 Bxf4..exf 49 e5?
Sep-21-07  Marmot PFL: g6 then Ng5-e6 looks tough to meet.

  JointheArmy: Yes! Leko played the continuation I posted on the FIDE World Championship page.

All he needs to find is the f6 idea now.

Sep-21-07  twinlark: <49... Re8 50. Re1 Qxa5 51. g6 Nh6 52. f6 Ra1 53. f7+ Nxf7 54. gxf7+ Kxf7 55. Qxf4+> looks appetising.
Sep-21-07  Carbon: Was the rsult of the Aronian - Morozevich match a draw?

  JointheArmy: <twinlark> Play f6 right away without Re1 and the engine goes crazy. At least mine does.
Sep-21-07  Marmot PFL: Grischuk will use 98% his time, you can be sure of that.
Sep-21-07  you vs yourself: <Carbon> Yes it is. Here's the game: Aronian vs Morozevich, 2007
Sep-21-07  tal lover: Leko looks like winning.
Sep-21-07  SCUBA diver: Watch white for a Knight move and R-h3. ..
Sep-21-07  twinlark: <JointheArmy> My guess is that it transposes.
Sep-21-07  Marmot PFL: This looks winning for white. Maybe Grischuk will go back to Sicilian, or take up Petroff.
Sep-21-07  twinlark: <JointheArmy> The loose e4 pawn puts a crimp in that doesn't it, esp with the Black queen on e8.
Sep-21-07  Marmot PFL: g6 and Qf4 will win, if nothing better

  JointheArmy: <twinlark> Thanks. It looks like Leko found it - it's nice to see Leko winning.
Sep-21-07  twinlark: Looks dead set won by White: <51. Qxf4 d5 52. Rxd5 Rf2 53. Rxc5 Qd8 54. Rd5 Qf6 55. Qg3 Rc2 56. Ne5 Qe7 57. Rg2 Rc1+ Rybka v2.3.2h3.mp.x64 (0:00.46)+3.65|d18> (from the live page). Seems to be a straightforward winning line.
Sep-21-07  radu stancu: I think I'm winning 200 chessbucks here... by not betting on a Grischuk win. :) Quite impressive play by Leko, maybe this game will be a turning point for him?
Sep-21-07  twinlark: <JointheArmy> Yes it is. This win puts Leko into the top four and back in contention.
Sep-21-07  acirce: Lékó in his element.
