 | | Administrator: Thanks to everyone for watching today's games with us. We will continue our coverage of Bilbao tomorrow at 2:pm USA/Eastern time, when we will bring you the exciting Carlsen-Aronian encounter. Hope to see you then. |
|
| Sep-26-11 | | sicilianhugefun: Are you a grandmaster Honza Cervenka? It appears thay you are a top class or first rate GM |
|
| Sep-26-11 | | messachess: A pretty natural trade-off by Aronian. FVP thought he could hold it. |
|
| Sep-27-11 | | Kinghunt: Am I the only one completely wowed by Aronian's play in this game? I've gone through the game four times now and can still barely comprehend half his moves. |
|
| Sep-27-11 | | Jambow: Does anyone have a clue as to what VFP had in mind with 17...b3??? Seems like a lost pawn for no reason. |
|
| Sep-27-11 | | SimonWebbsTiger: @<Jambow>
presumably to prevent the Bb1/Qc2 battery along the b1-h7 diagonal |
|
| Sep-27-11 | | anandrulez: And why ? Would g6 do good enough to defend that battery ? |
|
| Sep-27-11 | | Knightenprise: <@anandrulez>
I think Aronian's attack once he had finally assembled that battery speaks for itself. |
|
| Sep-27-11 | | SimonWebbsTiger: @<anandrulez>
without ...b3, Aronian would probably have followed a similar build up to the game. It's hard to say; maybe Vallejo thought he could get time to organise some sort of defence. |
|
| Sep-27-11 | | xanadu: The opening choose by Black has a strong structural problem. By move 9, White has already control of the center, big advantage in development and space. Black can not avoid more progress of the White pizes, having no time to attend center control , development of Queen side and protection of the King. Thus, White has multiple options for attack. |

 | | Honza Cervenka: <sicilianhugefun: Are you a grandmaster Honza Cervenka? It appears thay you are a top class or first rate GM> Unfortunately not. I am only an amateur of solid club level who used to play correspondence chess back in 1990s and got a Candidate of Master title then. But I am good enough to be able to win a position, which Aronian had after 40 moves in this game, even against Vallejo-Pons. Well, to reach that position, it would be a bit different matter....:-D |
|
| Sep-27-11 | | Ulhumbrus: The move 5...b4 leads to a backward pawn on c6.
According to the chessbase website the move 7...Qxd4 is an innovation which does not turn out well. According to the chessbase website the move 26 Nd4 is not the best and 26 Ng5 is better. The move 26 Ng5 prevents the reply 26...Be4 instead of 26 ...Ne4 as played, a move which the chessbase website calls a mistake. |
|
| Sep-27-11 | | sevenseaman: <Pons> cant stop pawns. |
|
| Sep-27-11 | | Ulhumbrus: After 13...Bxf6 14 Rfd1 the threat of 15 e5 followed by 16 Ne4 and 17 Nd6 seems so strong that inatead of 13...Bxf6, 13...gxf6 seems necessary. On 13...gxf6 14 Rfd1 Bxc4 15 Nxc4 Qc7 Black has the d6 square covered twice, so White can't play 16 Nd6+ and deprive Black of the right to castle whereas after 13...Bxf6 14 Rfd1 Bxc4 15 Nxc4 Qc7 White has the option of 16 Nd6+ depriving Black of the right to castle. |

| Sep-27-11 | | kia0708: kinghunt, I agree, this is a very interesting game

 | | tpstar: Picture caption: See No Evil, Hear No Evil
That position was pretty late in the game. |
|
| Sep-27-11 | | Ulhumbrus: After 19...Qc7 one way for Black to lose is 20 Nxf7! Kxf7 21 Qf5+ Kg8 22 Qxe6+ Kh8 23 Rxd7 |
|
| Sep-27-11 | | sicilianhugefun: That's great Honza.. and tnx by the way... what chess book can you recommend for reading? |
|
| Sep-28-11 | | Rob Morrison: <Am I the only one completely wowed by Aronian's play in this game? I've gone through the game four times now and can still barely comprehend half his moves.> No, you are not the only one. He really makes magic happen on the board. This game is incredible. |
|
| Sep-28-11 | | lazyknight: <tpstar: Picture caption: See No Evil, Hear No Evil> and Speak No Evil! you missed the third guy in the pix. |
|
| Oct-03-11 | | Jambow: <KingHunt><Am I the only one completely wowed by Aronian's play in this game? I've gone through the game four times now and can still barely comprehend half his moves.> Surprised actually Aronians moves were not hard to understand even at my level? Played over it twice to be sure. Not trying to be insulting maybe its just a style thing? |

| Feb-05-22 | | Brenin: After a lot of unsuccessful thought I saw 27 Qh6 Nxd6 28 Bxg6 (threat 29 Qh7 mate) fxg6 30 Qxg6+ Kh8 31 Qh6+ Kg8 32 Nxe6 (threat 33 Qg7 mate). I was afraid that Black might have an adequte defence, e.g. 32 ... Nf5, giving up the exchange, or even 32 ... Qxe6 33 Qxe6+ Nf7, but hoped that after Qg6+ and Qxh5+ White's pawns would crash through. |
