 | | tamar: Kramnik is waiting for Nakamura to cycle through all 124 scowls before he moves. |
|
Jul-24-11 | | Marmot PFL: If 30 a3 and Ke2-d3 I doubt white is losing although its not too pleasant. |

|
Jul-24-11 | | Papagambit: all over now, sorry Naka Rxb2 will win with N forks Nd3 i.e. |
|

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: And now Black threatens ...Rxb2, so 46.Bc1+,Kxg4; 47.fxe6,fxe6; 48.Rg2+ and hope for lots of annoying checks, perhaps? |
|
Jul-24-11
 | | tamar: Last cheapo is 46 fxe6 c1Q? 47 Bxc1 Rxf2 48 e7 with lots of help from Black. |
|
Jul-24-11
 | | tamar: Oops! I missed c1Q Bxc1+! so that is not even a tempting cheapo |
|
Jul-24-11 | | turbo231: Kramnik is having a very good tourney, on the other hand Naka is having all kinds of trouble. Time for Naka to resign? |
|
Jul-24-11 | | Papagambit: tamar, Bc1 is t check no time for Rxf2 |
|

 | | tamar: Dancing Rook is already backstage, limbering up. |
|
Jul-24-11 | | DrMAL: <acirce> I would not call 27.Bd4 any kind of howler. It was consistent with his strategic theme. Getting back a pawn via 27.Bxa7 or 27.Rxb7 was surely a better strategy, but in hindsight so would have been playing for a draw earlier. The risk with his pawn structure was already there. |

When I left it looked like a dead draw.

 | | chancho: There was a time when Kramnik could not win with black to save his life. |
|
Jul-24-11
 | | tamar: <Gypsy> <Papagambit> Tough one for Nakamura. I don't see any reasonable to continue then. |
|
Jul-24-11 | | anandrulez: Thanks to CG.com for the relay ! |

 | | keypusher: Nice game by Kramnik, but honestly a pretty wretched performance by Nakamura. |
|
Jul-24-11 | | acirce: <DrMAL> Well well, if his "strategic theme" involved unnecessarily landing in a difficult endgame with a lousy bishop against a good knight, to my mind that counts as "misplaying" ;) Maybe you'd prefer "misevaluating", but those things seem to go together. There was nothing wrong with his concept from the start, but at that point he should have realized that it was too late. |
|
Jul-24-11
 | | keypusher: <acirce: <DrMAL> Surely 27.Bd4 was a howler?> Seems like. Isn't 27.Bxa7 dead even? |
|
Jul-24-11 | | DrMAL: <acirce> maybe you are right, it seemed to me he could have somehow got the b-pawn / c-pawn off with 27.Bd4 as well. |
|
Jul-24-11
 | | tamar: I think Nakamura will be very harsh about his 27 Bd4. There doesn't appear to be an easy way to defend against the Black's pressure on c3 and the Black King march. He has to curb his desire to keep the game going at all costs. |
|
Jul-24-11 | | DrMAL: <tamar> Good point. I have posted that about him needing better prophylaxis myself. |
|
Jul-24-11 | | Ulhumbrus: <watwinc: <Ulhumbrus> In the position I have, black has a knight and white a DSB - no knight on d4> Better give the complete sequence so that we won't speak about different positions |
|
Jul-24-11 | | Ulhumbrus: <JamesT Kirk: BRAVO,Ulhumbrus!!> Thank you for the compliment. |
