| Sep-18-07 | | chessic eric: get to the time control and resign Moro. Even after 41.Kh1,Nxd4 42.Qf8+ and things aren't pretty. |

 | | ketchuplover: well played grischuk :) |
|
| Sep-18-07 | | chessic eric: two dancing rooks in one day - thanks <cg.com> |
|
| Sep-18-07 | | ajile: Gelfand is an exchange up but Aronian has a dangerous passed pawn. |
|
| Sep-18-07 | | dabearsrock1010: brilliant game by grischuk...20 Qf2 is some freakin inspired stuff |
|
| Sep-18-07 | | Resignation Trap: 19...h5, weakening the dark squares is what made 20.Qf2 so strong. |
|
| Sep-18-07 | | chessmoron: Where the heck is Moro's KID? |
|
| Sep-18-07 | | suenteus po 147: This is another impressive game. After playing through it quickly I must remark on the incredible skill with which Grischuk deconstructs Morozevich's position, first on the kingside, then on the queenside. It's like watching a kid building a giant sandcastle only to have a bigger kid come along and kick out the foundation just as it's getting tall. Anand has his work cut out for him tomorrow. |

| Sep-18-07 | | Softpaw: Can we expect to finally see a Sicilian then? |

 | | Hanada: Yea, that was surgical. |
|
| Sep-18-07 | | ounos: I can't believe Morozevich went for 19. ... h5. Trying to make the ultra-risky Ng4 work, using the sole defender of the king, was a very bold plan, but can't think of how it could have work. At the next move he was wiser, and accepted the fact he just lost a critical tempo. What a disappointment... |
|
| Sep-18-07 | | orio24: This is a great game, wow. |
|
| Sep-19-07 | | scholes: rybka gives slight advantage for moro after 22 Be5 (i don't know if its coorect though). It wants to play 22 ..e4xf3 protecting its king side , so 22 .. Qxa3 was the blunder which cost the game , after 23.fxe4 black was simply lost |
|
| Sep-19-07 | | kingsindian2006: i think move 19 was bad as well for moro , once the bishop pinned his knight he was in trouble... |
|
| Sep-19-07 | | ahmadov: I am sorry to write that but I think Moro cannot win this championship with such performance... |

Is a poor move. You would expect Moro to realize the danger around his king. Extremely lackluster performance by him. Typical Moro blowing hot and cold, He was cold today. Grischuk is pretty impressive so far in this tournament. His eye for an attack is sharp, and he bamboozled Moro. He saw things Moro didn’t and that led to an impressive victory! |
|
| Sep-19-07 | | KamikazeAttack: Moro deserved to lose.
19. ... h5??? What was this move supposed to achieve? This move could have waited until 2/3 moves later after completing his development. He was behind in development and he played a meaningless move. He was over-confident and lackadaisical and deserved to be punished. |
|
| Sep-19-07 | | ikipemiko: <Ezzy> I also think that the biggest mistake was 19..h5 , that was the losing move. |
|
| Sep-19-07 | | KOCMOHAYT: i like moro very much, but he was totaly outplayed, humiliated in a way. |
|
| Sep-19-07 | | DDR: h5 was played because MORO was worried about the immediate g4- opening his king and Grischuk's rooks |
|
| Sep-19-07 | | KamikazeAttack: <DDR: h5 was played because MORO was worried about the immediate g4- opening his king and Grischuk's rooks> Hmm probably. Then he can't play h5 and go pawn grabbing neglecting his development. |
|
| Sep-19-07 | | Ulhumbrus: The move 17 f3 could bring to mind the move 20 f3 in the game Botvinnik vs Euwe, 1948 |
|
| Sep-19-07 | | znprdx: <KamikazeAttack: Moro deserved to lose.... He was over-confident and lackadaisical and deserved to be punished.> This kind of commentary (aside from being ignorant) serves no purpose. If you must insist at least apply it to where it belongs: the gutless agreement to draws in provocative positions. Chess, particularly at the highest levels is a struggle between perceptions involving a trade-off amongst numerous relatively predictible sequences. I think the psychological power of Grish's Bh3 led Moro to overlook the simple elegance of Bf4 |
