Apr-16-09  Udit Narayan: After 52. g4, I was certain that Kamsky had a won game. I am sure that if I was playing white after that move against somebody on Yahoo Chess, I would have managed to convert. I suppose it goes to show that professional and recreational chess are completely different animals.

  Mateo: According to Rybka Aquarium, on Chessok, White wins after 75.a4. I disagree. 75...Kc8 76.a5 Kb7 is a draw. Black waits with his King on the corner a8. If White brings his King to support g6, Black sacrifices the Bishop. Then draw.
Apr-22-09  Eyal: <Bacrot held an opposite-colored bishop ending despite being down two passed pawns. That such things are drawn seems to be a crime, but at least they give us one of our few remaining chances to laugh at computers. They will call this +2.65 or similar forever and never get any closer to a win.> (http://www.chessninja.com/dailydirt...)

is a tablebase draw.
