Jan-29-05 | | cheski: <acirce: What a position, almost every piece is standing where it has or almost has to stand. > Very well summed up. But would it not have been better to leave the black Queen on Qg5 ? After shuffling the King to Kh7, what reply does White have other than say Qd3 or Qh4? |
|
Jan-29-05 | | bernieno: I will be very impressed if Leko wins this one. It is more than 10 moves since he sacrificed his knight. |
|
Jan-29-05 | | Catfriend: How about ..♘g5+ at certain stage? Might be winning! |
|
Jan-29-05 | | Chris00nj: I still like Leko's position. He could be eyeing 42...h4 and 43..Qg3+ |
|
Jan-29-05 | | WillC21: i hope they dont repeat moves and draw!!! |
|
Jan-29-05 | | jose manuel: h4? queen x h4 would follow if leko is gonna try something he should play Kingh7 |
|

 | | Joshka: uhmm..maybe Leko's gonna grind out a win.... |
|
Jan-29-05 | | iron maiden: Darn, from the look of things so far I shouldn't have slept in today. |
|
Jan-29-05 | | patzer2: After 42. Kh1, does Leko have anything better than a draw by repetition with 42...Qg6? The alternative 42. h4?! Qg6 doesn't good for Topalov. |
|
Jan-29-05 | | bernieno: <Catfriend> I have been considerig that move too. Looks strong. But i am not sure if it is winning, can anyone check with a computer? |
|
Jan-29-05 | | WillC21: How about Bb7 and then a knight sac for Leko? That would rip open the king and get two connected passers. Can you fellas make Fritz or crafty analyze that? |
|
Jan-29-05 | | SCUBA diver: how can you stop Q-g6...Q-c2 |
|
Jan-29-05 | | arifattar: Doesnt' anyone like Ng4? |
|
Jan-29-05 | | Catfriend: I do! I suggested it x posts ago. And I still do! |
|
Jan-29-05 | | WillC21: I don't like Ng4 without first playing Bb7. |
|
Jan-29-05 | | bernieno: That was the move i just talked about, looks very strong. It is not with check anymore though. |
|
Jan-29-05 | | Catfriend: Why> It's protected now, while after its retreat, the last row would provide white with all sorts of defensive checks. |
|
Jan-29-05 | | arifattar: <Catfriend> I think I did a few posts before you. |
|
Jan-29-05 | | Catfriend: <ariffatar> Now I see you did! OK, the praise goes to you:) |
|
Jan-29-05 | | arifattar: or the laughs <Catfriend> |
|
Jan-29-05 | | WillC21: Catfriend it is protected now, but not once you play Ng4. That's why I suggest Bb7 and then Ng4. |
|
Jan-29-05 | | Catfriend: <Will> Obviously, "now" reffered to the position after the sac. The bishop IS protected then. |
|
Jan-29-05
 | | Sneaky: Wow, it's over. Topalov navigated the maze, but Leko leads the tournament. |
|
Jan-29-05 | | WillC21: Catfriend it appears I am blind :) |
|
Jan-29-05 | | Catfriend: Pity... I hoped for an excellent combination to finish it. But it's sweet anyway! |
