Sep-04-11 | | Manders: Wow , why would Sutovsky go for something this wild if he only needed a draw? |
|
Sep-04-11 | | Akavall: Sutovksy is a very sharp player, so I can imagine that he wanted to play in his style even if all he need was a draw. Playing for a dull position could very dangerous as well, especially if you are playing against Ivanchuk. |

Sep-04-11 | | goodevans: Pretty sharp indeed. Very enjoyable even if the complications were a bit too much for a patzer like me to fully understand. Here are some silicon-assisted observations:
14 c3 may be prefable to 14 Ke2 (0 v -1.65) but it's equally complicated so the computer horizon may come into effect. 14 ... Nb6 looks more natural and aggressive than 14 ... Nf8 and SF prefers it too (-1.65 v 0.72). It appears that 16 f5 (-2.7) was overambitious. SF says 16 Qxd6 keeps the advantage (0.72). |

One could easily imagine Chucky grinding Sutovsky down in a dull, lifeless position that Emil does not like. |

Sep-04-11 | | RMKvdS: Woooooooooow, this is chess! These sharp positions are so though to analize, so many variantions are possible. Cool game! |
|
Sep-04-11 | | Rareswow: Sutovsky didn't know who he was messing with in this kind of position : D . If you say brilliant tactics , you say Ivanchuk ! |
|
Sep-04-11 | | Resignation Trap: When forced into a must-win-with-Black situation, Chucky knows how to shift into "Ludicrous Speed"! |
|
Sep-04-11 | | Anubis33: Now that was good old fashioned, Morphy vs. Adolf Anderssen type chess. |
|
Sep-04-11 | | Gilmoy: <20..Qxb2>, letting White have an overwhelming K-side attack for the ice-cold quiet defense <23..Nc6!>, evokes Tringov vs Fischer, 1965. Sutovsky surely recognized it, too, and felt the extra burden of being cast as Tringov, as Ivanchuk smirks for over an hour. <25..Kc7> is a slo-mo two-Rook sac, or <Poisoned Bishop Antidote> :) |

Jan-28-15 | | Conrad93: Does 7. e6 fxe6 8. h4 work?
It looks like white has enough initiative for the pawn. |
|
Jan-28-15 | | Conrad93: Okay, black has 8...Nf6, but white can sacrifice another pawn with 9. g4!?: 9...Nxg4 10. h5!
Black has a very airy kingside. |
