Jan-30-09  whiteshark: Van Wely - Movsesian showed white playing a quiet d3 line against black’s King’s Indian-like setup. Black heavily mobilized his forces on the kingside, while white was all over black’s queenside.

Loek was doing well, but after <22.e3?!> (22.Ra7 Ng6 23.Bc6 should have been preferred), black was equal. His <25...f4> shifted the action to the kingside, but white was quick to trade queens. The two played inaccurately in time trouble, but it was only

after <39.Ne5??>, which lost the h2 pawn, that white’s position totally collapsed. <39.Ra3> would have left black only slightly better. Only a few moves after the time control was reached, white offered his hand in defeat.

Jan-31-09  Karpova: According to Rybka 3, 23.Ne2 wasn't good (it gets a ?!). Instead, White should have played <(23. gxh4 was better 23... Kh6 24. Ne2 Ng6 25. Bc6 Qe7 26. Bc3 Kh5 27. Ra7 Kxh4 28. Nf1 Kg5 29. Nfg3 Rybka Aquarium (0:04.04)+0.60|d16)>

Rybka 3 suggests 39.Ba3 (<(0:00.31)-0.68|d16 )>) instead of 39.Ne5??

Van Wely had an advanatge of about +0.7 throughout the game until he went astray (e. g. missing <(22. Ra7 !? 22... Ng6 23. Bc6 Qd8 24. Ra8 Qe7 25. Nf1 Bh6 Rybka Aquarium (0:02.33)+0.81|d16)>).
