Oct-09-05  Nesebar: If Vesko makes the game more complicated it will be an advantage for him. I believe kE5 is a good move for him.
Oct-09-05  vmur2000: Hey can somebody tell when they are out of the opening book.

  An Englishman: Good Morning: Morozevich doesn't have much chance of causing trouble here, barring a shock TN. He's never played the Semi-Slav (4...c6), which means he lacks a high-risk, high-reward opening for a must-win situation like this. It's true that you should stick to what works best for you and what you know, but playing for a win with Black from this position won't be easy.
Oct-09-05  HammerTime: Topo, moveur Q to c2 now or you lose!
Oct-09-05  BaiKosta: It is an old theoretical variant.
Oct-09-05  DonEmiliano: az syshto sym za ke5, no edva li shte stane taka
Oct-09-05  koparanov: GO VESKO !!!!
Oct-09-05  Aseem: I believe the first 25 moves in this game will be theory if they follow the Leko v Kramnik 2004 game, which will lead to an endgame where white is a pawn up
Oct-09-05  kulashaker: can anyone be kind to give the link for the other games ?
Oct-09-05  Nesebar: Sega veche niama smisul da go igrae, zashtoto, Moro igra kc6.
Oct-09-05  pauldepstein: okanpandar, I recommend the internet chess club -- chessclub.com It is free for two weeks. Unlike chessgames, you do need a download to follow their coverage. You can see all four games there, and get opinions of world-class players. For example, Luke McShane has given some good analysis in his kibitzing. Yesterday, Kamsky joined in the conversations.
Oct-09-05  CapablancaFan: If Moro wants to retain winning chances he must realize this position cant be rushed and only patience and solid defense will he have an oppertunity.
Oct-09-05  HammerTime: Topalov will end up with time trouble if he keep thinking early in the game!
Oct-09-05  AlexanderMorphy: maybe a3 next?
Oct-09-05  PeerGynt: So far it is more Kramnik - Belyavsky
Kramnik vs Beliavsky, 1993
Oct-09-05  cuendillar: <HammerTime> Topalov will end up in a worse position if he doesn't think early in the game.
Oct-09-05  HammerTime: I suggest Topalov move his Q to c2 or else he loses this game for the very 1st time, trust me.
Oct-09-05  warfather: Shte biem li tazi vecher :) ?
Oct-09-05  chaital2005: I agree with Hammer time
Oct-09-05  gl0hot: szervusz,jo estet
Oct-09-05  Darkhorse12: 2 more exchanges on d5 and Moro gets an isolated pawn.

  tpstar: <suenteus po 147> Overheard in San Luis = "Excuse me while I whip this out."

<HammerTime> Welcome aboard. Myself and <Phoenix> are also from Michigan. 2900, eh?! You must be really good. See you around.

Oct-09-05  azaris: According to Chess FM, Beliavsky has been working with Morozevich prior to the tournament. He also happens to be an expert in this line.
Oct-09-05  Averageguy: I'm pretty sure black will be able to play for a win in the IQP situation.
Oct-09-05  DerMon: okanpandar, also FICS which is a free internet chess server.
