Dec-17-09  ajile: 27..Bg6 and Black maintains a slight advantage.
Dec-18-09  I play the Fred: My dream consultation game in Chess Heaven is Znosko-Borovsky & Dus-Chotimirsky vs. Konstantinopolsky & Dzindzichashvili. And in the other semi-final, it's Oll & Nei vs. Tal & Hort.
Dec-18-09  RandomVisitor: Fatal was 36.h3??

38...e5! 39.fxe5 Rf8! .

Dec-19-09  ajile: It's pretty easy to see that Black has the advantage on the k-side and White has nothing going on the queenside or center to offset this.
Dec-19-09  Tifeon: !!!
<I play the Fred:
And in the other semi-final, it's Oll & Nei vs. Tal & Hort.>

Actually, Wesley So beats them all.

Dec-19-09  Tifeon: Oh, and Alexander Ac wins as well.
