Kibitzer's Corner
Nov-09-05  Unicornio: What a horrible blunder coming from a 2700 player!!!
Nov-10-05  erimiro1: Agree, but I must add, that Gelfand's play was uninspired from the beginning and it didn't seem to me that his pawn sac caused any difficulties to Svidler.
Nov-10-05  sucaba: 23.Ba6 was a nice chance. Then, on 23._ Na5, white can try 24.Bd3.
Jan-30-06  midknightblue: yes, big blunder! wow
