Jul-09-06		suenteus po 147: A promising start. This one seems to be all about pawn demolition after the queen's are off.

Jul-12-06		Mateo: Carlsen got the best of it most of the time, but he made an unacurracy which should have allowed Stokke to reach a drawish position. Stokke missed the point, and Carlsen never gave him a second chance. The all game was very interesting. 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. Nf3 O-O 6. Be2 e5 7. O-O Na6 8. Re1 c6 9.

Rac1 <This natural move is new. 17.Rd2 was played in Topalov-Svidler, 0-1, Monaco 2006, blindfold game.> a4 18. Rc2 Ne6 19. Ne2 <Threatening 20.f4 winning the d6 pawn.> Nc5 <Black's play is not convincing. Why go to e6 to come back to c5 on the next move?> 20. Nc1 <20.f4 Bg7, the e4 pawn is hanging.> Re8 21. Nd3 Nxd3 22. Rxd3 f5? <This should have lost quickly. Interesting was 22...c5 in order to defend the d6 pawn with the Rook to a6. If 23.f4 Bg7 24.Rd6 Bf8 and 25...Re4.> 23. gxf6 Re6 24. Bg5 <The simplest.> Kf7 <24...Bf6 25.Bf6 Rf6 26.Rcd2 wins a pawn.> 25. Rcd2 Ra5 26. Be3?! <This move gives up almost all the advantage. Better seems 26.g3! Bb2 27.Rb2 Rg5 28.f4 Rc5 (28...Rh5 29.Be2 and 30.Bg4) 29.Bh3 with a strong position for White.> Rxf6 27. Bb6 Ra8 28. Bc7 Bf4 <28...Ke7? 29.c5 wins a pawn.> 29. Rd1 Ke7? <Stokke should have played 29...Be6! 30.b3 (30.Bd6?! Bc4 31.Bf4 Bd3 32.Bg5 Bf1 33.Bf6 Bg2 34.Kg2 Kf6 35.Rd7 with no more than a draw for White) ab 31.ab d5! 32.cd (32.Bf4 de!) Bc7 33.de Re6 with a drawish ending.> 30. c5! dxc5 31. Bd8+ Kf7 32. Bxf6 Kxf6 33. g3!? <One could expect 33.Rd8 Be3 34.Kh1 Bd4 35.e5! Ke7 (35...Ke5? 36.Re1 and 37.Ree8 wins) 36.Rh8 h5 37.f4, and it seems that Black has not enough compensation for the exchange.> Be5 <33...Bg3 34. Rd8 (with the threat 35.Bh3) Bc7 (34...b5? 35.Rf8 and 36.Rdd8 wins) 35.Bh3! Bd8 36.Rd8 Bh3 (36...a3 37.b3!) 37.Ra8 b5 38.Ra7 h5 39.Rc7, White has prospects of a win in this ending. But the move actually played leads to an easy win for White.> 34. Rd8 Ke7 <34...Bd4 35.R1d4! cd 36.Bh3 Bh3 37.Ra8 b5 38.Ra7 h5 39.Rc7 wins.> 35. Bh3! Bxh3 <35...Bd4 36.R1d4 Bh3 37.Ra8 cd 38.Ra4 wins.> 36. Rxa8 Bxg3 37. Rh8 Be6 38. Rxh7+ Bf7 39. Rxf7+ <39...Kf7 40.Rd7 wins.> 1-0
