Mar-07-21 | | newzild: I found 17. Rg3, but White's 19th move came as a surprise. |
|
Mar-07-21 | | Brenin: Silly me: I should have ignored Qs and other pieces being en prise, Rs blocking Bs, etc, and concentrated on getting in Nc5 and Nxe6 while Black wasn't looking, so that White (still a P down) has created a weak P on e6 to attack. No wonder I'm not (yet) a GM. Did anyone consider 17 Qd4, by the way? |

Mar-07-21 | | mel gibson: I didn't know.
Stockfish 13 gives close to a draw-
only half a point but still a loss to White.

Mar-07-21 | | Brenin: <Walter Glattke>: If 17 Qg2 Qxb6 18 bxc3 then 18 ... Bf2 regains the exchange with advantage to Black, since 19 Rh1 allows 19 ... Nf4 20 Qg5 f6 trapping the Q. |
|
Mar-07-21 | | saturn2: 17. Bxd8 Bxf2 18. Rg2 Rxf3 19. Be7 Re8 or
17. bxc3 Bxf2 18. Bxd8 Bxg1 19. Be7 Rc8
Black keeps the plus pawn and Queens are traded. So white looks for something else |
|
Mar-07-21 | | Pawn Slayer: Oh dear. I saw the game line until 18.....Rc7, judged black to have a very slight advantage and looked for something better for white. I didn't find it.
Maybe explains why I never got the IM title and gave up chess for 40 years in disgust. |

 | | scutigera: <Nosnibor>: 30 ..Qe1? is countered by an appeal to the tournament director and a command to make a legal move with the touched piece; Stockfish gives it a ?!?! and crashes. |
|
Mar-07-21 | | 1g1yy: <Nosnibor: 30...Qe1 mates in two. Why was a player of Svidler`s ability missing this ?> 30 ...Qe1 isn't possible, unless I'm missing something? |
|
Mar-07-21 | | saturn2: <30 ...Qe1 isn't possible, unless I'm missing something?>
Probably you mean 30...Qe8, but 30...Qe1 is really impossible. |
|
Mar-07-21 | | Brenin: I suspect that <Nosnibor> had Black's Q on the wrong square, a5 instead of b5. From a5, 30 ... Qe1+ 31 Rd1 Qxd1 is indeed mate, but from b5 there is no such threat. |

Mar-07-21 | | ndg2: My Droidfish says everything was fine for black until 39..Kg8 (Ke8 was correct). Svidler played correctly with 17.Rg3, but he was never in advantage for over 20 moves! |
|
Mar-07-21
 | | sjunto: 24. . . . Qc5 would have forced the exchange of Queens and left black with a slight advantage. |
|
May-02-22
 | | plang: The position after 13 moves is one of the main lines of the Najdorf. Svidler tried 14 Qf2? rather than following the main line with 14 Kb1. Although he had briefly looked at the standard exchange sacrifice on c3 with 14..Rxc3! he had underestimated the follow-up with ..Bg5+ and ..Bh4. Just one example of Black's idea was 17 Bxd8..Bxf2 18 Rg5..Rxf3 19 Be7..Bh4 20 Bxf8..Bxg5 21 Bxd6..Rf2 22 Bxe5..Bg4 which favors Black. Svidler had originally planned 19 Qd2 but realized that after 19..Rxc2 White would be busted. 19..Bc8 was perhaps a better way for Black to play for an advantage. Black missed the opportunity to play 24..Qf7 when after 25 Rxd6..Qh5 26 Bg2..Qh2 27 Qf2..Rf8! 28 Rd1..Nxe4 29 Qb6..Ng5 he would have had a big advantage. Black also missed 33..e4! which would have been winning after 34 f5..exf 35 Bxf5..Nd3! (not 35..e3 36 Bxh7!) 36 Qd5+..Kf8 37 Qd8+..Re8 38 Qd6+..Kg8. Svidler after 36 Qd6:
"I felt this was quite good for me - Black's king is not very safe and his rook is incredibly passive. Should be enough for a draw, I thought." Black continued unwisely to play for a win and after 39..Kg8? was lost; 39..Ke8 40 Qc4..Qc6 41 Qh4..Rd7 42 Qxh5+..Kd8 would have been equal. |
