Aug-28-12  wordfunph: probably GM Zambrana's (2471) best game of his life, an upset victory against monster GM Movsesian (2698).

1-0

Aug-28-12  belgradegambit: good knight beats bad bishop.
Aug-29-12  whiteshark: Movse completely messed the ♘:♗ endgame up.
Aug-29-12  Naniwazu: Nice victory by Bolivia's only Grandmaster Oswaldo Zambrana. Is this a bad omen for Armenia in this year's Olympiad?

  Honza Cervenka: I don't understand why white did not play simply 29.Bxc7 Rh1 30.Bxd6+ Kd7 31.Qxh1 Qxh1+ 32.Rc1 Q somewhere 33.Bb4 with material advantage and quite easy win for white. On the other hand, much better defense for black seems to be 27...Rxd3! with idea 28.Rxc6+ Kb7 29.Ba5 Rd4!
