| Apr-24-19 | | csmath: I think Meier underestimated Keymer (in the ending) and then learned important lesson not to do that the next time they will meet. |
|
| Apr-24-19 | | DWTaylorSr: Nice job by Keymer. This was probably his only real shot at a victory. This crowd is like a group of sharks on a feeding frenzy. Great experience for the young man, but way above his play level. He should be playing aginst players @ 2600 levels , not mid 2700-2800 players. Still, quite a tournament to get your " wet "feet . Good luck!!!! |

| Apr-24-19 | | alfamikewhiskey: A happy young man @13:40 as Meier stretches out his hand: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPS...> |

| Apr-24-19 | | thegoodanarchist: WTG, young man! Your first victory at the top level. Congratulations. |
|
| Apr-24-19 | | boz: This game was enriched by the stalemate
motif. A good example of why I prefer to keep that rule. |
|
| Apr-24-19 | | wordfunph: Keymer's 1st victory in top level tourney, i expect him score at least 1 game in his remaining games. go Vincent! |

| Apr-25-19 | | Eyal: <The losing move was 51. ...g2? 51. ...h3 would have kept the draw but of course that is a whole darn study.> 51...c4! (which could have been played earlier as well) also draws. The basic idea is actually quite clear when compared with the game - the queening of the g-pawn would come with check. In the position after 59.Qe1, for example, where Black finally played c4, ...g1Q+ would lead directly to stalemate with no c-pawn. (And if White doesn't play 52.bxc4 he would have another advanced passer to deal with, with the white queen less well-positioned.) |

| Apr-25-19 | | Ironmanth: Wow. Great comments here; thanks, all, for the cogent analysis. Chess ideas spring eternal. Also agree that as well as he is fighting, Vincent is being baptized with fire. Certainly he will overall relish the experience....?! Thanks as ever chessgames. Y'all play and study hard. |

Good Result coupled with some nice play.
I saw a possibility of this position happening from a diagram KP posted in the main Grenke thread.

Not an uncommon set up, Q v two pawns in this situation and the Qe4 idea has been often been missed both by the Queen player and the defender. I know I, and a crowd of onlookers witnessed this in Edinburgh 2004. 
click for larger viewBlack has just promoted. 1.Kg8 draws White played 1.h7. Black did not play 1...Qe5 and mate next move but was rather pleased to see and play 1....Qa8+ 2.g8=Q Qa1+ etc and a draw. Upon draw agreed someone pointed out the missed win. The player of the Black pieces looked like he had just received a 'Dear John' letter in a WWI trench. Thought that set up could be avoided with a position akin to this rattling about inside my head. 
click for larger viewHad the idea that Black could play Kg3 and now see that if you do some counting, (obviously not my forte) the b-pawn v the h-pawn., the b-pawn promotes with a CHECK!. (which is what I missed.). Another neat wrap up was here. (White to play)

Answering 78...g1=Q with a discovered check and mate. Good game and as wordfunph said a landmark passed. (though winning the Grenke Open ahead of 40+ GM's to qualify for this event was not too bad either.) It would have been all too easy following 3 losses to put at least a half point on the board but the lad stuck with it. *** |

 | | HeMateMe: this seems like an ugly opening for black, the isolated pawns on a and c files. |

| May-10-19 | | Ilkka Salonen: Yes. Did you know that when Jim Morrision died, he was was facing charges of public obscenity? That is he was due to go to court and tell about how he exposed his dick. That is undignifying, I feel. Especially considering the attitude of FBI towards rock stars in the sixties. |
