Oct-11-11  Matsumoto: Viva Morozevich!
Oct-11-11  Shams: Once Moro gets his rooks to f6 and g7, it's over. Superb looking play from him at this tournament.
Oct-11-11  bronkenstein: I´m all for Moro , but in this game he was weaker for quite long time , and even totally lost @ one point. Simple 23. Qh1! , and he is losing a piece for nothing (... Nh5 24. Rxg4 f5 25. Re1 etc, eval +2.51 by our friend Houdini ) http://www.google.rs/url?sa=t&sourc...

Anyway , he knows his job well. Playing with fire works miracles so far ( 3.5 out of 4 , full point ahead of the field =)

Oct-11-11  Shams: <bronk> Well, I did say it was superb *looking*. Houdini is a killjoy. =)
Oct-11-11  bronkenstein: He is really class of his own here , esp having in mind that during his comeback he routinely chained 3 2800+ TPRs (I dont know his 4th TPR , namely from the recent world cup , that one should be lower).

So , while Moro farms some ELO , we are witnessing the fight for 2nd place. I only wonder what will happen to his performance once he starts getting invited to leet tournaments (with this ELOfarming tempo, he will inevitably get back to top 10, even top 5 soon).

PS I wanted to finish with ´I dont believe that he would be able to beat Anand or Carlsen this way´ , but then I remembered that blunderfest in Bilbao...xD

Oct-12-11  frogbert: <but then I remembered that blunderfest in Bilbao>

played with 1,5 hours for 40 moves. seems good to keep in mind.

Oct-14-11  hedgeh0g: <frogbert> 2800 players are capable of playing very high quality rapid games in 30 minutes, so I don't buy the argument that they need extra time simply to avoid blundering material.
Oct-14-11  Ulhumbrus: An alternative to 20 h4 is 20 Nd5 eg 20 Nd5 Nxd5 21 Rxd5 Qc7 22 Qe4 g6 23 Re5
Oct-17-11  GlennOliver: 28. Qf2 seems better
Oct-21-11  MarvinTsai: <bronkenstein> Yes you confirm my doubt on Moros openning and middlegame, it really doesn't seem so good. Ni hua must have blundered among move 35~40.
Oct-21-11  bronkenstein: <MarvinTsai> , you have Game with Houdini analysis @ http://chessbomb.com/site/ , just choose Saratov --> round 4 --> Ni Hua -Morozevich. (I warn you, the game was bloody blunderfest =)

hints:

1) color of the moves in the scoresheet indicates quality, ranging from blue = optimal , via purple (dubious) to red (rough blunder), and

2) you have first 4 Houdini suggested lines (with evaluations in front) in the lower left part of the screen, and you can play through them by clicking on the line , then using left+right cursor keys.
