Kibitzer's Corner
Nov-16-08  Alphastar: van Wely was obviously very well prepared.
Nov-17-08  I3illieJoe: I think the opening is a typical King's Indian Defense though, not a "Formation: King's Indian Attack" as the scoresheet indicates...
Nov-17-08  lilfoohk: radjabov back fired!
Nov-17-08  whatthefat: After 26...Qg2, what is the correct assessment of the position? Does Black have sufficient compensation for the piece, or was he already lost at that point?
Nov-17-08  shintaro go: The Bayonet wins again.
Nov-18-08  Strongest Force: <whatthefat> Intuition tells me black was lost after your move. All white needed to do was consolidate his position followed by a "open season" attack against the black king and pawns
Nov-20-08  KingG: Van Wely played this line against Degraeve eight years ago. On that occasion he declined the knight sac, but lost the game.

Although this game isn't currently in the cg.com database, it will be familiar to anyone who has read Gallagher's book <Play the King's Indian>.

According to Jon Speelman in today's Independent, <This time, Van Wely returned to an old favourite 10.g3. 20.fxe4 was the first new move, and they still continued to play along a note given by Van Wely himself in Chess Informant up to 24...h5 - he himself recommended 24...g5.

Apparently he was correct and 24...h5 was somewhat inferior. Van Wely's 28.c5! gave his bishop a target on e5, and after Radjabov failed to play his knight to g4, defending e5, the long diagonal caved in and Van Wely won fairly easily.>
