Feb-06-09  popski: It's actually hard to say what went wrong here for Svidler. First, 7...Bc5?! line was probably played because he wanted to avoid preparation. Then locked rook on b2 looks so helpless... Hmm, maybe he should try different plan with 14...Rd8 instead of 14...Ba6

This opening isn't so bad after all!

  plang: 14 Na3 had been played in two earlier games that had both ended in draws; 14 Nc3 was new and appears to be an improvement. 14..Rxc2 probably would have been better. 16..Qxe5?! worked out poorly; 16..Ne6 would have been better. Black lost quickly after 22..c5?; better was 22..Rxb3 23 Ne7+..Kf8 24 axb..Ne2+ 25 Qxe2..Bxe2 26 Rxd8+..Kxe7 27 Rd2..Qb4 28 Rexe2..Kf6 with good chances to draw.

  GrahamClayton: With 8...0-0, Svidler doesn’t bother defending the knight but instead sacrifices a pawn to complete his development. Ye accepts the offer. Svidler regains the pawn with 13...Rb2, but his pieces are out of play on the q-side, allowing Ye to build up a winning k-side attack.
