Jul-08-09		mig55: Indeed Tamar, he has to play somewhere f3..

Jul-08-09		Appaz: According to Pogonina on chessdom, Jako offered a draw after 39.Bd3

Jul-08-09		jcnorcro: Looks like white likes the possibilities on the Kside!!?? His pocket moves of f3 followed by Bf3 are still available. No draw here or else why not exchange on move 37??!!

Jul-08-09		Ulhumbrus: Jakovenko may be going too far trying to win. Here is what can happen: 40 h4 Rbf8 41 f3 Qb7 42 Bc2 g5 43 hg hg 44 Qd3 g4 45 Rh1+ Kg8 46 Rbf1 gf+ 47 Kh3 Rh6+ 48 Kg4 Qg7+ 48 Qg6 Rxg6+ 49 Bxg6 Qxg6+ winning

Jul-08-09		outplayer: now 40...Rbf8!

Jul-08-09		JohnBoy: Black's play against f2 is more illusory than real. f2-f3 at pretty much any time will put a rest to it. More substantial is white playing h5 and using the Q and B to expose the black king.

Jul-08-09		Chessmensch: It looks like Carlsen has tremendous momentum building.

Jul-08-09		jcnorcro: Be4 earlier than I expected but it works...now for the Kside!!

Jul-08-09		firebyrd: <Appaz> Not necessarily a formal draw offer, only that the position allowed Carlsen to enter a more or less forced line ending in a repetition draw.

Jul-08-09		mig55: b3 is white's weakness...

Jul-08-09		just a kid: Will Jakovenko go for repetition?

Jul-08-09		Ulhumbrus: By now White may have nothing better than to repeat moves

Jul-08-09		mig55: draw?

Jul-08-09		Appaz: <<firebyrd> Not necessarily a formal draw offer> You might be right, it's not clear from the notes. Then it must be the Rxb3 drawing line

Jul-08-09		tamar: Shouldn't the arbiter instruct Carlsen to put all his pieces on black squares again :)

Jul-08-09		JohnBoy: I don't think white should take a draw here. Play f3, Rh1, h5 and try to prssure the black king. Where is black's play? ...a4? Hardly.

Jul-08-09		hcbsb: There is the time yet, maybe Carlsen plays as usual, goes on the drawish game and then... White 42 m Bkack 1 h 26 m

Jul-08-09		Dionyseus: Analysis by Rybka 3 x64 4CPU: 42.f3 Qa7 43.Rfd1 Qc5 44.Rd2 g6 45.Ra2 Qb4 46.Qd3 Kg7 47.Ra4 Qc3 48.Qxc3 Bxc3 49.Ra3 Bb4 50.Ra2 Bc3 = (0.23) Depth: 21 00:05:19 68422kN

Jul-08-09		Sem: A game that ends in a draw mostly ends up in a drawer.

Jul-08-09		just a kid: I wonder if Carlsen will try to avoid the repetition?

Jul-08-09		waustad: draw agreed

Jul-08-09		Ulhumbrus: White does have one resource left. If White plays f3 and Black plays his other Rook to f8, that allows b4. If not, White can play Bc2 and Qd3

Jul-08-09		JohnBoy: <Dionyseus> What does Rybka give on 42.f3 Qa7 43.h5?

Jul-08-09		twinlark: I did say a draw offer was near...g'night all, from oz.

Jul-08-09		chessgames.com: Thanks to everybody for participating in today's live broadcast from the 2009 Sparkassen Chess Meeting in Dortmund, Germany. Tomorrow morning at the same time (9am USA/Eastern) we'll be showing the top board from round 7. Hope to see you here!
