 | | OBIT: <waustad>LOL, yeah, that's about how this whole game has gone for the White bishop. |

 | | WannaBe: Let me take over black's position, and watch me lose! |
|
| Jul-26-12 | | Marmot PFL: I think white, having made it to 50 moves, may decide he has seen enough. |
|
| Jul-26-12 | | SCUBA diver: Black cannot lose even if he gave away everything. (Wrong color bishop) |
|

| | OBIT: Meanwhile, Carlsen appears to have his win secured, while Bologan-Nakamura is still tight. Apparently, someone has placed a curse on Nakamura - the guy we have seen play dead drawn positions to ridiculous lengths may get his third draw in a row. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Morning: How will Wang Hao pry the White King off the g4 square? This seems to be the only reason White hasn't resigned yet. |
|
Jul-26-12
| | OBIT: <Englishman>I think the knight goes to e3 to take away f5, then the Black king circles around the pawns. |
|
| Jul-26-12 | | talisman: i got the best move for white.......tump that king over. |
|
| Jul-26-12 | | Eyal: don't think there's even any more need for knight maneuvers - the king simply circles to e3 and then the f-pawn marches on. |
|
Jul-26-12
| | OBIT: Hao went straight to ...Kd6, keeping the knight where it is. Sure, the White king can't go to f5 because the pawns will advance. |
|
| Jul-26-12 | | talisman: hasn't resigned??....."Oh the Humanity!" |
|
| Jul-26-12 | | talisman: finally...ballgame...0-1 |
|
Jul-26-12
| | An Englishman: Good Morning: Or there's the game continuation, wherein Black *forces* White's King to stay on g4 whilst the Black King circles the long way around. The Knight covers the light squares e4 and f3, the pawns cover the dark squares and after something like 54.Kh3,Kd4; 55.Kg2,Ke3 Black comes charging through. |

 | | chancho: Anish finally gave up the ghost.
Impeccable play by Hao.
And Hao!! |
|
| Jul-26-12 | | Wyatt Gwyon: Damn. Stepped away for 20 minutes when I thought white had a dead lost position. Came back to find it's even more dead lost and he's still drawing it out. |
|
| Jul-26-12 | | talisman: <Wyatt> naw he finally resigned...thanks chessgames! |
|

 | | chessgames.com: Congratulations to Wang Hao for seizing the lead in Biel. Stay tuned, we'll be switching to the conclusion of Bacrot-Carlsen in just a minute. |
|
| Jul-26-12 | | Eyal: Well done Wang Hao. As in the 1st round game vs. Bacrot he was ruthless in taking advantage of an initiative that he got out of the opening, and played with near-computer accuracy in the crucial stages of the game. |

 | | perfidious: Seeing 9.Rc1 was a surprise to me- when I played this regularly in the 1980s, the most common move was 9.h4, playing for a kingside bash. In this game, Giri never got any real play and once Wang's pieces got off the back two ranks, he gave a fine demonstration of Black's possibilities in the Panno. |

| Jul-26-12 | | Maatalkko: Illya Odessky said (http://www.chessintranslation.com/2...) <But appearances are deceptive. And Wang Hao’s style at the board isn’t that of a bunny, but a boa constrictor. He plays without external effects, but remarkably effectively. His victories with black are particularly impressive. They almost always follow the same scenario: worse, equality, comfortable equality, perhaps an advantage, a tangible advantage and… where, exactly, did White go wrong in order to have to resign now?> That comment certainly applies to this game! |

| Jul-26-12 | | Ulhumbrus: <<On 15 Qc1 or 15 Qc2 15...Rc8 followed by 16....Kh8 prepares 17...c6 and White's development remains backward>
The problem with Rc8 as "preparing" c6 is that the rook takes away the square from the knight - so White can meet ...c6 with d6, and Black can't reply Nc8 (as he would have in the game had White played 16.d6).> The N goes to g8 instead and the d6 pawn is isolated. Black can, within reason, take his time attacking it eg 15 Qc2 Rc8 16 g3 Kh8 17 Bg2 c6 18 d6 Neg8 19 0-0 Bf8 20 Rfd1 Re6 21 Qd2 Ne8 |
|
| Jul-26-12 | | Ulhumbrus: Wang Hao's refutation of the move c5 beginning with the move 13...e5! is particularly impressive. Right until Black plays 15...c6! it seems that White has the better of it. On 14 Nd3 ed 15 Nxd4 Nxe4! runs into the kind of central attack that Black is playing for and which White wants to avoid. |
|
| Jul-26-12 | | Nf3em: Go go go Wang Hao! |

Actually, in the post-game commentary Hao was asked by Klaus Bischoff about the possibility of 15.Qc1 and said that he intended to play 15...c6 anyway, evaluating the position after 16.dxc6 Nxc6 17.Rxc6 Bxc6 18.Qxc6 Qa5+ 19.Qc3 Qxa2 20.Nc1 Qa1 as approximately equal with a slight edge to White (Hao mentions specifically 21.Nfd3 Nd5! With the idea of 22.exd5 e4, but White doesn't have to play like this). Houdini evaluates the position as even somewhat better than that for White with accurate play, but Hao sounds like he home-prepared this line so there's a good chance he knows what he's talking about. |
