|
| May-12-06 | | AdrianP: <HH> I think Nxc6 is a won pawn for <White>...! See above. |
|
| May-12-06 | | madlydeeply: you would think Pono would've noticed this fool knight trend in his play...I'm sure all his opponents have... |

<AdrianP> I was too slow to read your post, thats why I posted :) |

| May-12-06 | | erasmus: <Garry Kasparov on Playchess> In Svidler-Pono game I played 18.c4 vs Kobalia in a training game 3 years ago!
I guess Kobalia reacted better than Pono! |
|
| May-12-06 | | erasmus: (however how Kobalia reacted he didn't say) |
|
| May-12-06 | | Hitchhiker: Kasparov on Playchess??? |
|
| May-12-06 | | Hitchhiker: 40 Bb3 Nb6
41 Kb2 Re7
42 a4 Re4
43 Ka3
1-0
And here's the end |
|
| May-12-06 | | AdrianP: That's a 1-0! Great game Pete. Pono never got a look in. V. intricate piece play and great technique. |
|
| May-12-06 | | AdrianP: ...and I staked my last chessbucks on Svidler. Almost makes up for the 200 I lost backing him, yesterday...! |
|
| May-12-06 | | erasmus: <Kasparov on Playchess???>
<Hitchhiker> Yes, he is usually there when the big tournaments are being held. Most of the times he comes online when the games have almost come to an end. |
|
| May-12-06 | | VishyFan: Svidler won against Pono,
how, I don't know :)
I thought it was a nice rhyming statement.... :) |
|
| May-12-06 | | s4life: Svidler starts strong in most tournaments... |
|
| May-12-06 | | MagnaPsygnosis: I knew that Ponomariov is only a paper tiger....(nothing better than Carlsen and Waitzkin, who are push over material) Peter Svidler is a Formiddable player, and a force to reckon with.
Having said that...pono knew he lost before the game started (in my opinion). |
|
| May-12-06 | | Chess Classics: <MagnaPsygnosis> What are you talking about? Carlsen is #16 in the world, not exactly push-over material. Ponomariov is a very strong player, also. <s4life> Russian championship, Linares, and now this. I think your comment rings true. Perhaps Svidler runs out of stamina in elite tournaments? Regards,

| May-12-06 | | MagnaPsygnosis: <chess classics>
Maybe, you are misunderstanding me..
Ponomariov and Carlsen are both GM's which are great(and 2nd best) prestiges, but they are not first (a)class GM chess players (2750 elo=>), and whether i may have overdone a little bit... i still think that they are not A-class material (Kasparov, Karpov, Fischer, etc.) |

| May-13-06 | | Hesam7: 35... e4 looks very bad. I think 35... Ke7
click for larger viewholds the draw. For example: 36. b4 Rb7 37. a3 Ne6 38. Kb2 Nf4. |
|
| May-14-06 | | Hesam7: Unfortunately GM Marin does not mention 35... Ke7 in his analysis of this game. If Black can draw with this move then 30. Bxa6 should get a question mark (instead of the exclamation mark awarded by GM Marin) considering that 30. Rxd6 (Marin does not mention this either) would have won. |
|
| May-15-06 | | Confuse: for the 21 Nxc6 people, its not really a won pawn, after queen takes queen, rook takes queen, pond takes knight, rook takes pond, pond below that pond takes pond, and then pond above rook takes pond, and then bishop takes that pond. hope this is confusing,
confuse |
|
| May-15-06 | | goldenbear: 10.Nc5 looks like the obvious move, with counterplay on the queenside where it should be or else an advantageous ending. I don't see how any strong player could not play this. Am I missing something? What do the theory people say? |
|
| May-15-06 | | goldenbear: Of course I shouldn't say ending; that's still a long way off even without the queens. |

| | Mateo: <Hesam7: 35... e4 looks very bad. I think 35... Ke7 holds the draw. For example: 36. b4 Rb7 37. a3 Ne6 38. Kb2 Nf4.> No doubt 35... Ke7 is an improvement, but White still stands better. The main reason is that he is almost a pawn up because the h Black's pawns are doubled. So Black has one passed pawn (the d6 pawn) while White has two, and even two strong united passed pawns (b2 and a2). On the long run, White has some winning prospects. |

| Jun-09-06 | | MagnaPsygnosis: yup....Ruslan.... Definitely not a SITH lord, neither the world heavyweight chess champion |
