 | | jessicafischerqueen: <whitshark> Bellevue called they want their beds back |
|
Jan-12-08 | | whiteshark: Position after 24.Rb1

<...Kf7> or <...b5> = ? |
|

 | | Mateo: It should be noticed that after 24...Kd8 25.Bxa6 would no longer win a pawn. |
|
Jan-12-08 | | brankat: Perhaps 25...b5 26.a4 Bd7 27. g5.. or.. <27. Nd4> first. May actually be dangerous. |
|
Jan-12-08 | | Eyal: <What about 24.g5>
Seems clearly in Black's favor after 24...hxg5 25.Rxh8+ Bxh8 26.fxg5 e5. |
|
Jan-12-08 | | MorganV2851: adams-gelfand, petroff draw. |
|
Jan-12-08
 | | ketchuplover: Is 25...a5 expected here? |
|
Jan-12-08 | | brankat: Adams - Gelfand = Draw. |
|
Jan-12-08
 | | ketchuplover: oops I meant 24...a5 |
|
Jan-12-08 | | acirce: To answer my own question, yeah, I think so. |
|
Jan-12-08 | | MorganV2851: little 13 year old girl hou yifan is looking like she will draw with bacrot in the class B tournament... WOW. |
|
Jan-12-08 | | tldr3: draw
|
|
Jan-12-08 | | Hesam7: <acirce: To answer my own question, yeah, I think so.> Wrong answer. |
|
Jan-12-08 | | acirce: No, he was just checking if Van Wely would find ..b5!! equalizing. |
|
Jan-12-08 | | dabearsrock1010: ok no way kramnik was trying hard to beat his second for the world championship on the first day of the tournament and I don't blame him |
|
Jan-12-08 | | acirce: So anyway, if there was a refutation of Van Wely's opening play this was not it. |
|
Jan-12-08 | | MindCtrol9: They did not want to fight. |
|
Jan-12-08 | | whiteshark: bye bye chess bucks :( |
|
Jan-12-08
 | | Sneaky: <Corus: Rd 1: Kramnik vs Van Wely : Draw [cash in ticket] 700 YOU WIN! COLLECT 1610> Tee hee |
|
Jan-12-08 | | brankat: Patience :-) |
|
Jan-12-08 | | whiteshark: <brankat> Didn't you forecast today that Kramnik will begin like a lamb? Well predicted! :D |
|
Jan-12-08 | | brankat: <whiteshark> Actually it was <Sneaky>'s prediction, I just agreed with it :-) Yet, he still managed to clean up in the ChessBookie game! Real sneaky ;-) |
|
Jan-14-08
 | | HeMateMe: The slav looks various drawish, because of the pawn set up. If you're playing a stronger player, and you have to draw, is the Slav a good bet? |
|
Oct-23-08 | | Cactus: With drawing, it doesn't get much better than the Slav. |
|
Dec-06-22 | | Messiah: Terribly dull game, very bad. |
