Sep-15-07 | | orio24: Draw! 100 moves! Gelfand missed another chance, but still is doing well.
Leko must be very happy with the endgame escape. |
|
Sep-15-07 | | Marmot PFL: Maybe they should try for 200 moves |
|

 | | chessgames.com: And that's how it ends. Peace to everybody, and we hope to see you back tomorrow. |
|
Sep-15-07 | | Chessmensch: Will someone say definitively how the timing works at this stage, please. |
|
Sep-15-07 | | geraldo8187: might the length of this game have something to do with how round 1 went? the players have been much better about these last two rounds. |
|
Sep-15-07 | | you vs yourself: Leko has to be the best defender in the world. There are many games where people keep saying his position is lost, only to see Leko find a clever defense or a series of only moves. Fantastic save by him. |

 | | tpstar: <chessgames.com> Thanks for the live broadcasts. =) Gelfand sure gave it the old college try but Leko's defense was spot on. |
|
Sep-15-07 | | sderby: yes! 200 <marmot> |
|
Sep-15-07 | | Wolfgang01: Okay, they agreed with a draw. |

|
Sep-15-07 | | acirce: Congratulations to Lékó for saving a very difficult endgame and to Gelfand for getting a fine draw with Black and defending the colours of the glorious Petroff. With this game and Leko vs Mamedyarov, 2007 Lékó has played two of the longest top-level draws this year. |
|
Sep-15-07 | | boz: I admire leko. I always thought he was pretty good with his queen. |
|
Sep-15-07 | | swissfed: Leko is also a very very tough player |

Time control: 40 moves in 2 hours, followed by 20 moves in one hour, followed by 15 minutes plus 30 seconds for all the remaining moves (40/2h, 20/1h, 15m+30sec/all). from TWIC Mark Crowther |
|
Sep-15-07 | | boz: Leko played 42 checks from move 47 to 100. |
|
Sep-15-07 | | chessamateur: <boz> I wish we could say the same for Topalov. Sorry couldn't resist. |
|
Sep-15-07 | | strifeknot: Another great game today. I don't want to hear any whining about this being a draw or a Petroff. |
|
Sep-15-07 | | Chessmensch: <tamar> Thanks very much for replying at this late hour. |
|
Sep-15-07 | | boz: The Petroff can be interesting, but you have to wait a long time. |
|
Sep-15-07 | | Confuse: <tamar> FREE FRIES!!! :D |

 | | WannaBe: My goodness, Boris played 11...Nxf3. I made a comment on that in the Anand game! Anand vs Gelfand, 2007 Second post. |
|
Sep-16-07 | | Ulhumbrus: Instead of 9 0-0-0, 9 Be2 avoids letting Black wreck White's King side pawns by the exchange ...Nxf3+ |
|
Sep-16-07 | | willychess: What it´s the reason for 24 ... gxf6 by black? Why not Qxf6?. Maybe the move reduce the tension along the g file. But is it justified doubling the kingside pawns?. Please i need deeper minds. Thanks |
|
Sep-16-07 | | mack: <Eyal> Well found, Mrs Brock! |
|
Sep-16-07 | | pawnofdoom: Great game by gelfand! Too bad he couldn't win it. |
