  tamar: Powerful display from Gelfand, despite missing the haymaker 38 Qb6! Re8 39 Qc5+ Re7 40 Rxg7+
Aug-17-09  whiteshark: "In the game Gelfand-Inarkiev, white played the new move <16. b5> in a tried and tested line of the King's Indian Defense, and enjoyed a opening advantage which black was unable to overcome.

With the strong <24. g5>, white added an opponent's exposed king to his list of positional plusses, and was now posing certain problems to Inarkiev.

Despite his efforts, the Russian made some small errors, and Gelfand was able to realize the victory."
