 | | OhioChessFan: How did Harikrishna miss 23. f5? |
|
Jan-17-13 | | norami: Predictable, really, I suppose. So which game currently going on is most interesting? |
|
Jan-17-13 | | DcGentle: After White's trading down it was hard to find anything for either side, but somehow the tension was released too early. It's a pity. |

 | | keypusher: Back to the mines! |
|
Jan-17-13 | | Ulhumbrus: An alternative to 23 Qb3 is 23 Qe4 Qxe4 24 Rxe4 developing White's king's rook to the fourth rank. |
|
Jan-17-13 | | DcGentle: Karjakin - Giri looks interesting. |
|
Jan-17-13 | | chessdgc2: DcGentle: I agree. I was hoping White would play Qh5 instead of go to b3...now there's nothing |
|
Jan-17-13 | | Strongest Force: Looks like they found the friendly drawing variation. |
|
Jan-17-13 | | Eyal: Yeah, Karjakin - Giri looks interesting and it's also important for the standings, since Karjakin is (or started this round as) the 3rd leader. |
|
Jan-17-13 | | boz: I add my vote for Karjakin-Giri. |
|
Jan-17-13 | | chessdgc2: Hey, can anyone tell me how to switch to the Karjakin-Giri game? |
|
Jan-17-13 | | whiteshark: It seems that Giri is down to 12 minutes for the next 23 moves. |
|
Jan-17-13 | | Eyal: Btw, according to chessvibes twitter <Carlsen was not feeling great this morning. Visited by the tournament doctor but went on to play Anand anyway, swallowing the Petroff pill.> |

 | | FSR: <OhioChessFan: How did Harikrishna miss 23. f5?> I was going to say that Houdini thought that Harikrishna's 23.Bd4 (+.75) was better than 23.f5 (+.42) - but now it likes 23.f5 much better (+1.22, versus +.58 for 23.Bd4). |

 | | OhioChessFan: Harikrishna-Van Wely looks like fireworks coming. |
|
Jan-17-13
 | | OhioChessFan: Wow, how many plies did Houdini need for that? Seems not much more than a Thursday puzzle. |
|

 | | tamar: Suicide watch back up for Sokolov, who is trying to get clever versus Aronian. |
|
Jan-17-13 | | boz: In Sokolov-Aronian, Sokolov has sacrificed a piece for two connected passed pawns in the centre. |
|
Jan-17-13 | | Eyal: <chessdgc2> We were hoping that the live broadcast of cg.com itself would switch to Karjakin-Giri... but in any case you can follow all the games live at http://www.tatasteelchess.com/tourn... |
|
Jan-17-13 | | Eyal: <Suicide watch back up for Sokolov> Heh - after missing the win against Nakamura in the 2nd round he told the interviewer "If I don't kill myself tonight, I will live for a thousand years"... |
|
Jan-17-13 | | OneArmedScissor: Let's get a new game up in here |
|
Jan-17-13
 | | FSR: <OhioChessFan: Wow, how many plies did Houdini need for that? Seems not much more than a Thursday puzzle.> It says "Depth = 22." Does that mean 22 plies? Its assessment of 23.f5 is now +1.11. |
|
Jan-17-13 | | Cemoblanca: As I saw the Petroff today, I gave not more than 30 moves for this game. A clever "chess move" by both, but disappointing for the chess peeps outta there. Let's switch to Ivan VS Levon. |
|
Jan-17-13 | | Cemoblanca: Where the hell is Ivan??? :D The game is over! 0-1. |
|
Jan-17-13 | | Cemoblanca: Karjakin VS Giri: 17 moves are played. Time Control: 1:16 VS 0:12!!! ;) Man, what's going on here today! :D |
