Kibitzer's Corner
Sep-26-10  sofouuk: ... and so, once more we mourn the death of chess ...
Sep-27-10  rangek: I wouldn't blame her for taking the repetition as she's probably rusty theoretically(in all these mainlines), and her opponent is 65 ELO higher.

Karjakin on the other hand...

Sep-27-10  twinlark: Her game in the previous round against Bu Xiangzhi was a seriously complex and difficult effort, and may have been quite fatiguing, so she may have been taking it easy for that and the reasons given by <rangek>.

And yeah, <Karjakin on the other hand...>.

Sep-27-10  stonebrain2006: I believed that FIDE's rules allowed no quick draws (i.e., under 30 moves) except in theoretical drawn positions.
Oct-08-10  Abdooss: <stonebrain2006> you must be confusing with the Sofia Rules, or was it Linares , or Luis-what-his-name Rontero ?
Oct-08-10  whiteshark: Karjakin had the final position already some 3.5 months before: Motylev vs Karjakin, 2010

So Judit's intention to choice this line is as obvious as Karjakin's is.
