Feb-28-02 | | knight: 32.d5!! the move of the tournament. |
|
Jan-09-03 | | evertoexcel: Indeed, 32. d5 is outstanding |
|
Jul-08-04 | | tomh72000: A nice novelty (18.Ra2) by Garry too. |
|
Feb-06-06 | | GlennOliver: 32.d5! Bxc5!? |
|
Jun-22-06 | | LIFE Master AJ: I wonder ... does Rybka find 32.d5!! - as in this game? (My Fritz 9.0 did not, even after a couple of minutes 'thinking' time.) |
|
Jun-22-06 | | Jilted Rook: 32.d5 is more worthy of !?
In the same way that one shouldn't revere computer analysis one shouldn't get one's prayer mat out for a bold move by Kasparov.
Much better was the calm 32...cd with a probable draw. Nevertheless d5 is an enterprising and practical OTB choice, all the more so for Micky calling Kasparov's bluff... |
|
Jun-22-06 | | euripides: what does Black play after <32...cd> 33 c6 ? |
|
Jun-22-06 | | Jilted Rook: 33...Na5 |
|
Jun-23-06 | | blingice: <Jilted Rook> This is probably ultra-ignorant, but what does your notation of "32...cd" mean? |
|
Jun-23-06 | | Jilted Rook: <blingice:> 32...c6xd5 |
|
Jun-23-06 | | HannibalSchlecter: Jilted Rook, after 32..cd doesn't white still get the dangerous passed pawn though with 33. c6 |
|
Jun-23-06 | | Jilted Rook: <Hannibal> see above 33...Na5 |
|
Jun-23-06 | | HannibalSchlecter: Jilted Rook, sorry about that, missed the prior note. Ok 33. Na5 34 Bd7! |
|
Jun-23-06 | | HannibalSchlecter: on second thought I don't like it after 34Nxc6! followed by Rc8 |

Oct-31-08 | | gambitfan:  click for larger viewAfter 48 ♗d8 1-0
The result is not pretty obvious to me!
What allows to say that the game is over ?
Material advantage is not huge for White 1 ♗ against ♙♙ and I do not see the follow-on which would permit a White Pawn to queen... Npt obvious !! |
|
Nov-01-08 | | gambitfan: That is a BISHOP ENDGAME : ♗♗ + ♙♙ // ♗ + ♙♙♙♙
The material advantage for the stronger side is 1.25 point (♗ // ♙♙) 47... a4 48 ♗xa4
47... b5 48 ♗xb5 ♗b4 to protect ♙a5 49 ♗e8 to look after ♔h6 White King comes along the white f1-a6 diagonal to take ♙a5 which cant move ! 47... f4 48 ♔d3 ... Nothing can prevent White King from reaching f5 to take ♙g5 47... g4 48 h3xg4 f5xg4 49 f3xg4 ♔g5 50 ♔f3 the only remaining White Pawn remains on the white square g4 and cannot therefore be bothered by the dark coloured Black Bishop... ♔h6 cannot move without leaving the protection of ♙g5 47... ♔h7, ♔g7 48 ♗xg5
47... ♗d4, ♗g1 .... what cant prevent white ♔ing to walk on the white squares e2-d3-c4-d5, then e5-f5 and then take ♙g5 with ♗d8 |

Aug-21-17 | | Toribio3: In chess, you can distinguish the quality of Russian grand master and English grand master in their manner of executing chess tactics. Russian are natural while the English are trying hard, correct me if I'm wrong. Let us debate? |
|
Aug-21-17 | | WorstPlayerEver: I guess it depends on the GM. As long as guys like Karjakin miss a winning continuation at move 4 against Kasparov, I would keep my mouth shut if I were a Russian. |

 | | plang: 14..Rfe8 was new and has become very popular. Played in the 5th round; in the 13th round Adams played 26..Qc6 against Anand and after 27 cxb (27 Qc2 would have been more testing) a draw was agreed. Kasparov was surprised by 28..c6?! recommending instead 28..Qc6 29 Qe5..bxc 30 dxc..Bxc5 31 Qxc7..Qb6 with equality. Kasparov missed the stronger 30 Qa6..Qc4 31 Qxc4..Nxc4 32 d5..cxd 33 c6..Na5 34 Rc1..Bxa3 35 Rc2 when Black will have to give up a piece for the c-pawn. Black lost after 32..Nxe5?; much better was 32..cxd 33 c6..Na5! 34 Rxd5..Nxc6 35 a4 and White has compensation for the pawn but the game will likely end in a draw. |
