Dec-03-11 | | Marmot PFL: I think can win now 27 Qh5 (threaten Nf6 and Qh6) 27...Qe7 28 Rxa7 then a4-a5 etc, and black is too tied up to stop this |
|
Dec-03-11 | | Strongest Force: Mag loading 4 The Bolo punch? ( Bolo was that big dude in Enter The Dragon) |
|
Dec-03-11 | | lost in space: 27.Nxf6 gxf6 28.Qh4 Ke7 and Black is not that bad.

Dec-03-11 | | haydn20: <moronovich> A nice psychological point. I have been tortured this way a few times. |

 | | SteinitzLives: Black gets cooked in the time pressure. Bb3, then trade on f6 followed by Qe3 winning with double attack on Ps. |
|
Dec-03-11 | | Marmot PFL: If black needed e7 for his king (as I think he did) than Re7 is probably losing. |
|
Dec-03-11 | | Ulhumbrus: The purpose of 28...Re7 may be to push the e pawn after Nxf6. If Howell is in time pressure, he may make any number of mistakes. |
|
Dec-03-11 | | Marmot PFL: Nxf6 gf Qh5 if Kg7 Qh4+ and Rf3-g3, |
|
Dec-03-11 | | lost in space: I like 29. Bb3 Qa5 30. Nxf6 gxf6 31. Qe3 with a lot of pressure on both wings.

Dec-03-11 | | Ulhumbrus: I am off for now. Whatever is going to happen promises to be interesting. |
|
Dec-03-11 | | Kinghunt: 30... Red7 31. Qc5+ Rd6 played, and after Rc7, Carlsen has a huge advantage. |
|
Dec-03-11 | | lost in space: ohhh, even nicer! White don't need to protect his Bc4 and play directly Qe3 (without Bb3 ). 30. Qe3 Qxc4? 31.Qxh6+ Kg8 32. Rb4!! and rook lift ot the kingside.  click for larger view |

Dec-03-11 | | Kinghunt: The chessgames feed is delayed. The moves I posted below have already been played (except for Rxc7). |
|
Dec-03-11 | | haydn20: 3 min. for 10 moves in a tough posi |
|
Dec-03-11 | | whiteshark: Gotterdammerung is coming soon... |
|
Dec-03-11 | | lost in space: Now black is busted after the simple 32. Rxc7 |
|
Dec-03-11 | | Kinghunt: <haydn20: 3 min. for 10 moves in a tough posi> I might even be tempted to say the position is already lost. The only question is how hard he's going to make Carlsen work for it. |
|
Dec-03-11 | | Kinghunt: Rxc7 Qc2 played. I think Rc8 has to be very tempting for Carlsen. |
|
Dec-03-11 | | whiteshark: All other games were draws. |
|
Dec-03-11 | | haydn20: 30...Kg7 looked OK to me. Now Black could lose. |
|
Dec-03-11 | | SCUBA diver: After Rxa7, tha a pawn can advance. |
|
Dec-03-11 | | Marmot PFL: Rd6 looks lost after Rc8 and Rf3-d3 |
|
Dec-03-11 | | Clodhopper: After 31. Rc1 what does black do? |
|
Dec-03-11 | | Marmot PFL: Rc8 Rxc8 Qxd6+ Kg7 Rf3-g3+ also hopeless |
|
Dec-03-11
 | | SteinitzLives: No big surprises today, except Naka not losing to Kramnik. Too bad Aronian could not win his game, it has some potentially very instructive imbalance lessons. |
