Jan-17-13  talisman: d5 looks good for a knight.
Jan-17-13  DcGentle: White missed 27. gxh6. Would have meant maybe decisive advantage.

  tpstar: <chessgames.com> Thanks for the second broadcast. =)

Van Wely in a tad of time trouble.

Jan-17-13  whiteshark: 9 minutes for the next 9 moves...
Jan-17-13  DcGentle: 32. Nf4 looks strong, threatening Nxh5 followed by f6 with quick mate, because bishop g2 is activated, to get this piece into the attack must be White's goal.
Jan-17-13  talisman: black has no "good" move.
Jan-17-13  talisman: ♕e4 wins.
Jan-17-13  Marmot PFL: looks quite desperate for black
Jan-17-13  DcGentle: 37. Rhf3 and the game is over soon.

Jan-17-13  queenfortwopawns: Poor Yifan is having a nightmare tournament. Third loss in five games.
Jan-17-13  boz: Hari K finds 39.Qxg6+ for a nice mate.
Jan-17-13  Marmot PFL: The classic rook, knight, bishop and pawn mate?
Jan-17-13  Marmot PFL: Very rare mate at GM level.
Jan-17-13  Cemoblanca: ...and Krishna Krishna won against "No Loek" Wely! ;)

  chancho: Van Wely ran into a Loek-comotive.
Jan-17-13  Cemoblanca: <chancho: Van Wely ran into a Loek-comotive.>

Good 1! :D

Jan-17-13  DcGentle: Nice finish.
Jan-17-13  queenfortwopawns: Awful pun No.3: Cleaned up Loek, stock, and barrel.
Jan-17-13  SloVice: No Loek Pass
Jan-17-13  Cemoblanca: And the final deathblow will follow by the "poor" Bishop. What a game. Congrats Hari! :)

  plang: <Marmot PFL: The classic rook, knight, bishop and pawn mate?>

Actually, the rook is "unemployed" in this mate.

Jan-17-13  Marmot PFL: So it is. I don't remember seeing a mate like that with bishop, knight and pawn where the king wasn't on the edge of the board.
