| Oct-06-11 | | DrMAL: <ajile> Thanks for computation it seemed black had sufficient defense but time trouble produced blunder, very interesting/exciting chess indeed. Great game for Chuky! |
|
| Oct-06-11 | | timhortons: naka lost, that sucks.
blame the suckpuppet. |
|
| Oct-06-11 | | Willem Wallekers: 37 ... Be8???
Blind panic. |
|
| Oct-06-11 | | lost in space: Good to see, that even GM's are losing like this. I though it is my speciality. |
|
| Oct-06-11 | | benjinathan: One of the most exciting games in years IMHO. |
|
| Oct-06-11 | | haydn20: Is it possible that 14...Kh8 is an over-reaction? 14...Qb6+ Kh1 15. e5 seems to me to offer more play. Or is this just "patzer sees check..."? |

 | | chancho: 34.Rc8 instead of 34.Bxg7.
They were blitzing moves at this point. |
|
| Oct-06-11 | | haydn20: <Willem Wallekers> but if 37...Kh7 38. Rh4+ and Black is down an ex and a P with more to come. |

 | | scormus: <chancho: A technical Naka out> Nice pun for a great game. I only wish it had been on later so I could watch it at home. I like 2 pm EST start. Tomorrow afternoon I'll have to angle my screen so the boss cant see what I'm doing! I wondered why not 34 Rc8 as I played through, OK zeitnot |
|
| Oct-06-11 | | Juninho: 29.., Rdg8, 30. Rf2, Qc7 and what happens if Vassily play Rg4? |
|
| Oct-06-11 | | messachess: Great game. Fantastic finish. Chucky!!! |
|
| Oct-06-11 | | rapidcitychess: I felt a twinge of pity for black's position around move 17. Of course that was a defendable position for such a top class player as Nakamura, but one could tell he was in a tough spot. According to analysis, I guess the position was equal(ish). Maybe it's my close-minded classicism getting in the way again ^.^ |
|
| Oct-06-11 | | Reggie T: 33. Rxf7 Rxf7 34. Qxg6+ Kf8 35. Bd6+ Rxd6 (35...Ke8 36. Qxe4+) 36. Qxd6+ seem interesting too! |
|
| Oct-06-11 | | Ulhumbrus: 16 f5 concedes the e5 square to Black's Knight. Instead of this 16 Qe2 gets ready for 17 c4 and 18 Bb2 so that White can compel Black to disturb his King side pawns more easily eg 16 Qe2 Rg8 17 c4 b4 18 Bb2 Ne8 and only now 19 Rh3 |

| Oct-06-11 | | Robed.Bishop: <Willem Wallekers: 37 ... Be8???
Blind panic.>
That's the move that truly shows Naka's intense time trouble, especially given his reputation for blitz. 37...Qf8 or 37...Kh7, 38. Rh4+ Qh6 gives a better exchange for black with perhaps some fighting chances. Of course, given the clock situation for both players, this is mostly moot. |

| Oct-06-11 | | kia0708: <Ivanchuk played very creatively from the first moves, sacrificing the integrity of his queen’s side in exchange for a powerful bishop from the black squares. The game unfolded with growing tension on the king’s side. In the end, he carried out the attack brilliantly, walking away with the match.> interesting comments from the organizers of this tournament |
|
| Oct-06-11 | | Aspirador: <Willem Wallekers: 37 ... Be8??? Blind panic.> Black is lost one way or the other. I actually think that 37...Be8 was quite a good trick. Ivanchuk was down to his last seconds here and one more surprising move could make him lose on time or make the mistake 38.Rexe8?? |
|

 | | Gypsy: <chancho: A technical Naka out> Funny.
But nothing 'technical' about this Naka out. Rather an old fashioned Naka down for the full count. |

But even in the case of
<37...Be8?! 38.Rexe8+?...>, the endgame still looks easily won for White: <38...Kh7 39.Rh8+ Qxh8 40.Rxh8+> (making the time control) <Kxh8 41.Nc5...> For instance, 41...Nf3+ 42.Kg2 Ne1+ 43.Kf2 Nxc2 44.Nxa6... 1-0. |
|
| Oct-06-11 | | sevenseaman: Stylish batting, this. At <33. Rc6>, assessing the combination would get the job done must have cost Chuky a chunk of time. The robbers taught him how to rob too! |

| Oct-07-11 | | DrMAL: Checking with computer verifies black was fine after 17...e5 although it does surprise me that 17...exf5 computes as slightly better I thought it would be the oooposite case both are good along with 17...Rae8 18...Ne5 I suggested during game. Houdini_20_x64: 26/67 36:45 16,830,518,629
+0.09 17. ... exf5 18.Rxf5 Qd8 19.Qe3 Bc8
0.00 17. ... Raf8 18.Rh3 Ne5 19.Qh4 Re8
0.00 17. ... e5 18.Qh4 Nb8 19.Rh3 Nbd7
Line after 17...e5 shows how to re-position black N. 18...Ne7 was surprising N was poorly placed here. Houdini_20_x64: 24/72 13:50 6,281,030,005
+1.24 19.Rh3 d5 20.Rff3 Rgc8 21.Bxe7 Qxe7
During the first flurry of moves that followed white made some inaccuracy too, and position was equal again it seemed so but there wasn't enough time to be more sure. 22...h6 did not look as most accurate and it evaluates as such as well. Houdini_20_x64: 23/70 07:06 3,269,817,276
0.00 22. ... Qb6 23.Bxd5 Nexd5 24.g5 Rac8 25.gxf6
-0.39 22. ... h6 23.g5 Nxe4 24.Nxe4 Bxe4 25.Qxe4
Also inaccurate was 23...Nh7 instead of taking on e4 but moves were in a big hurry. Houdini_20_x64: 22/77 07:20 3,305,918,710
-0.47 23. ... Nxe4 24.Nxe4 Bxe4 25.Qxe4 Rac8 26.f6
-1.01 23. ... Nh7 24.f6 Ng6 25.Qg4 Rad8 26.fxg7+
After 25.fxg7+ instead of 25.Qg4 intermediate move black was still OK, this was part of second flurry too fast for me to be able to assess. Game was in fact nearly equal until 29...Bf7? black had 29...Bg8 or 29...Qc7 here for sufficient defense. 30.Ne4! winning was missed anyway after 30.Nd3 position evaluates as equal. But then 30...Kg8 (instead of 30...Rxd3 or 30...Qc7) was another mistake greatly compounded by 31.e4? time trouble blunder. |
