Sep-14-11  Pyke: <Domdaniel: In a must-win situation ...

1. Do not go gently.

2. Get a Good Knight.>

Why does that remind me of Dylan Thomas?

Sep-14-11  Shams: My favorite part of this game, per <WiseWizard>, is when Grischuk executed a precise series of exchanges to reach a position where Chukky fed him his ass on a plate.
Sep-14-11  WiseWizard: Clutch! Did it whenit counts nice.
Sep-14-11  WiseWizard: Ha! I must say this was much more fascinating!

I think it's Anna Sharevich. Here is a pic with Konstantin Landa >>> http://chess.ugrasport.com/?p=3164

Sep-14-11  kia0708: <Cemoblanca> thanks for the link with many photos.
Sep-14-11  sevenseaman: A remarkable game! This was the Chuky I was looking for in a do or die scenario. His play on or around the h1-a8 diagonal is sublime starting with the exchange sac at 23. Rxf4.
Sep-14-11  sevenseaman: <Cemoblanca> thanks for multi-pic link. How do get the live commentary?

I think that Anna (Sharevich) puts some spice to the LIVE broadcasts, because it would be boring only with Landa alone. ;0)

Sep-14-11  Cemoblanca: It has its advantage, if one has long eyebrows like Chucky: This can greatly promote the achievement, if you can wrap something around your finger.

The media will report soon: Chucky has become "embroiled" in a new doping-scandal. :D

:(

Sep-14-11  Cemoblanca: Playing like Judit: Russian GM Alexander Grischuk ;0)

Grischuk: "In the third game I played in Polgar style: my combination was absolutely unsound, but all the pieces on the board started to hang, and my opponent resigned in three moves. This is so typical for Judit!"
