Kibitzer's Corner
Jul-06-08  percyblakeney: The Ra8-c8-c6-a6 thing on move 24-27 was probably one of the better move sequences in Dortmund. It saved Mamedyarov from a position that looked quite bad and eventually he even won the game in van Wely's time trouble.
Jul-06-08  micartouse: Once again, 10 ... c4. So many examples of Mamedyarov going in for the queenside pawn majority endgames. It's interesting to see him try these, but first he has to defend, and it doesn't always work out.

"White should be able to hold the draw in this position, but not with: <36.Kd3? Rd1+ 37.Ke2??> The answer is we haven't the foggiest idea. Time trouble? This just hasn't been Loek's tournament. <37...c2 38.f7 Kg7 39.Rxh6 Kxf7> (or 39...c1Q+++–). 0-1"
