Kibitzer's Corner
Mar-15-06  Ulhumbrus: 15 Bxf6 loses time by spending a tempo on exchanging (instead of letting Cramling do the exchanging) when the tempo could have been spent on a developing move instead. 15 Rae1 gets the QR out.
Mar-15-06  Ulhumbrus: 16...exd5 opens the e file which Peng Zhaoqin has occupied first.White has however an advantage in both space and development and may play e5, if Cramling waits for it. Nevertheless 16...Rfe8 may be better.
Mar-15-06  Ulhumbrus: 17 exd5 lets any advantage slip. 17 cxd5 looks riskier, but may be better.
Mar-15-06  Ulhumbrus: On 17...Rae8 the Rf8 seems to do little. This suggests 17...Rfe8, keeping the other rook for ..b5.
Mar-15-06  Ulhumbrus: 18..a5 will allow White to close the queen side by a4. Cramling may gain the advantage by ...b5 either now or later.
Mar-15-06  Ulhumbrus: An interesting opening on Cramling's part. One way to understand it is that it can lead to more than one possible plan of development for Black, either with the pieces or with the pawns. This suggests that Cramling was testing her opponent's understanding of chess : would Peng Zhaoqing be able to select the right choice of development in response to Cramling's choices? Cramling , for her part, would want to select the right choice of development in response to Peng Zhaoqing's choices, and probably had confidence in her own ability to do so.
Mar-15-06  euripides: If <15 Rae1> Black has 15...Bxb2 16 Qxb2 exd5 17 cxd5 Nxd5 and Black seems to get away with a pawn.
Mar-15-06  euripides: 18...a5 reminds me of Radjabov's play in Topalov vs Radjabov, 2006, where I think Sakaev singled out Rajdbov's a5 for praise. However, it does look drawish here and Black could pay for more.
Mar-15-06  Ulhumbrus: On 15 Rae1 Bxb2 16 Qxb2 exd5 17 cxd5 Nxd5 White does not win a piece by 18 exd5 because the e pawn is pinned. This means that White has to concede something in order to answer the threat of ...Bxb2 followed by ...exd5, and the time lost by 15 Bxf6 is an example of such a concession.
