Kibitzer's Corner
Sep-08-06  kellmano: I don't understand. Is this a defeat on time? White is a bit uncomfortable, but i can't see anything to even win the pawn back.
Sep-08-06  Willem Wallekers: Black threatens Re6, Rh6 mate.
If 28. Bxg5, then Re5.
Or 28. Nxf6+ Nxf6 29. Bxg5 Ng4
Sep-08-06  kellmano: Cheers <Wallekers>. I didn't see that, but what about 28. Bxg5 Re5 29. Nf6+ Nxf6 30. Bxf6. Then the bishop will be able to block the check.
Sep-08-06  s4life: <kellmano> the white bishop is lost after 31.. Bxg3
Sep-08-06  mazetas: The white can play and this: 28.Bxg5 Re5 29.Ne7+ Kf7 30.Bh4 Rh5! and after this again the finale is winning for black (Anand will change his rook for the bishop).
Oct-11-06  Ishaan: This was a Blitz Game!
Oct-11-06  dehanne: <Ishaan> Well spotted!
Oct-24-06  Sularus: wow !!

beating ANAND at blitz !!

May-26-07  positionalgenius: Great game...
Jul-20-07  mulia: good games
May-03-08  Ruslan82: i think white was resign because if 28. Bxg5 then black should reply Rf8 and the games will end in a few next step.if black reply 28....Re5 the game will still continue.
Jul-22-09  aazqua: And Rf8 accomplishes what?
May-18-21  cSete: A BLITZ game? SMH
