 | | tpstar: I think White wins two pieces for a Rook: 31. d5 Bxd5 32. Bxe7 (32. Rxd5? Bxa3) Bc6 33. Nxc6 Rxe1+ 34. Kh2: click for larger viewThis should be winning for White. |

 | | plang: <d5 has problems with Bxd5. After the rook takes, the pin is gone so the bbshop on the a file hangs.> as well as the knight on e5 |
|
Mar-06-08 | | Wild Bill: <jeremy24: <Doesn't d5 just win here?>> No, Balck is better after <31.d5?! Bxd5 32.Bxe7 R8xe7 33.Rxd5 Kf6!> |

 | | tamar: Danailov entering tournament hall dressed as d pawn with large X across chest... |
|

 | | Open Defence: yeah Ra1 |

 | | chancho: Topalov can take his sweet time, he's got plenty of it. |
|
Mar-06-08 | | MorganV2851: <tamar> lol |
|
Mar-06-08 | | Mulyahnto: d5?! just gives away a pawn... |
|
Mar-06-08
 | | tamar: I like 31 Rc1 as I can understand it a little better-double on 7th rank |
|
Mar-06-08 | | radu stancu: <Mulyahnto: d5?! just gives away a pawn...> Fritz doesn't agree, see my previous post. In fact it gives a 0.00 evaluation at the end of the line, with white and black reduced to K+3P each. |

 | | tpstar: <radu stancu> OK, so 33 ... Kf6 refutes the 31. d5 idea. Thanks. =) Maybe 31. Ra1 Bd5 32. Bxe7 R8xe7 33. Rxe7+ Rxe7 34. Rxa6:  click for larger view |

 | | Open Defence: I'd protect the a3 ♗ and have a masked threat against a6 with Ra1 |
|
Mar-06-08 | | Mulyahnto: <radu stancu> I mean in the immediate continuation. I am assuming, in other lines white will win the 'a' pawn. So instead of being a pawn down, black will be equal... |
|
Mar-06-08 | | waustad: The a3 bishop is protected pretty well by the mate threat. |
|
Mar-06-08
 | | Open Defence: true.. Topalov prefers to go for the K |

|

 | | Open Defence: he can still attack the a pawn from behind ... and Tony no reference to the Cheeky Girls again ;-p |
|
Mar-06-08 | | theodor: 31.re21? |
|
Mar-06-08
 | | Domdaniel: Seven minutes for eight moves, enemy rooks doubled on the 7th rank and a hostile knight on e5. *Most* people would crack ... |
|
Mar-06-08 | | duchamp64: why didn't he play 33 Rxh7? |
|

 | | tamar: Leko has formed a large "P" with his pieces... click for larger view |
|
Mar-06-08
 | | chancho: Topalov's pieces look so much more menacing than Leko's. I think Peter is on his way to losersville. |
|
Mar-06-08 | | radu stancu: <tpstar> Fritz says: "You're welcome". :) <Mulyahnto> The continuation was pretty much forced up to white regaining the lost pawn. I wouldn't call the d pawn lost in such a case. :) |

 | | Stonehenge: < tamar: Leko has formed a large "P" with his pieces... >
He pees against Topalov? |
|
Mar-06-08 | | whiteshark: Now short term check <36.Ne7+ Kh8 Nf5> pays best. |
