 | | Mateo: White is a pawn up. The point is to know if Black can play 23...Bxd4. At first glance, it seems dangerous as White could pinn the Bishop with 24.Qd2. But then, Black has 24...Qd7. If White takes the Bishop (25.Nxd4), Black does the same (25...Rxc7). |
|
| Apr-04-18 | | whiteshark: Is there any better than <23...Bxd4 24.Qd2 Qd7 25.Nxd4 Rxc7 26.Rxc7 Qxc7> max exchanges? |
|
| Apr-04-18 | | chessdgc2: I like Black’s position better here, his pieces are safer and have more active play. It’s likely White will make some changes soon.... |
|
| Apr-04-18 | | Ulhumbrus: After 24 Nxd4 Qxd4 one question is which of the minor pieces is the more dangerous, White's bishop or Black's knight |

 | | moronovich: We could be heading for 5 draws today. |

 | | Peligroso Patzer: <moronovich: We could be heading for 5 draws today.> But, interestingly for a tournament of such high category, every player had at least one decisive result during the first three rounds. This, of course, was in large measure due to the four decisive results in round two. Only Caruana got his first decisive result as late as round three. |
|
| Apr-04-18 | | BOSTER: Q d2- pin is good. |
|
| Apr-04-18 | | Ulhumbrus: After 24 Nxd4 Qxd4 25 Bg3 Rxc1 26 Qxc1 one question is whether Black will end up in more trouble than White |
|
Apr-04-18
| | Mateo: Very likely a draw although White might be slightly better. His King is safer. |
|
Apr-04-18
 | | Domdaniel: This looks drawn, given the balanced pawn structure - though Black may have a slight advantage just now. Even so, I have a feeling Caruana will win. |
|
Apr-04-18
| | Domdaniel: Caruana is preparing for the Carlsen match by practicing Sitzfleisch. He will try to emulate Carlsen by playing on and on. Even in a seemingly equal position one player may get an edge. |
|
| Apr-04-18 | | chessdgc2: Someone would have to risk losing, draw (yawn)..... |
|
Apr-04-18
 | | An Englishman: Good Morning: Black just has to find an adequate defense to the threat of 29.Qd4 and he'll be fine. |
|
Apr-04-18
| | Mateo: After 16 minutes, Naiditsch played 28...Ne5 threatening the fork ...Nf3+. |
|
| Apr-04-18 | | ChessHigherCat: Aha, if Qc6 Nd4 attacks the Q and covers f3 |
|
| Apr-04-18 | | whiteshark: How should I know what I think before I read what I write? |

| Apr-04-18 | | ChessHigherCat: I've been ordered to go on a mission: Vaya compra arroz con pollo! See if you can get these guys to adjourn until I get back. |

| | Mateo: The way Caruana was able to mix things in this seemingly simple position is really impressive. |
|
| Apr-04-18 | | whooops: On first look and counting, white has a problem with the distant pawn. On second look and checking K security, black is in deep @#$%. What a position. |
|
Apr-04-18
| | moronovich: 3 players on +2 if Caru converts.
Impressive he he can play so good after the candidates. |
|
Apr-04-18
 | | FSR: Just tuning in. Wow. Apparently Caruana is squeezing blood from a stone. |
|
| Apr-04-18 | | Ceri: Black's pieces are too far from the areas of action - he looks doomed. |
|
Apr-04-18
| | An Englishman: Good Morning: Was just going to write that Black had to find an answer to the threat of 40.Qb8+ and 41.Qe5. |
