| May-12-13 | | chessdgc2: d4 was the whole point for 1...Qb6. If I were White, this move would make me feel like Granny doesn't want me anymore... |
|
| May-12-13 | | Strongest Force: To me, it looks like Carjack has some "splaining" to do (as Ricky Ricardo told Lucy on the great sitcom). |
|
| May-12-13 | | peyote: ((wondering how <chessdgc2> got "premium member" added to icon)) |
|
| May-12-13 | | lost in space: 30..d3 looks very good here. Karjakin is going to win this. |
|
| May-12-13 | | lost in space: 30...Bc8 is also good! |
|
| May-12-13 | | Eyal: 30.Qxf5 was more to prevent a deadly 30...Be4 then to win a pawn (30.Bxf5?? would lose on the spot to 30...Qc6!). |
|
| May-12-13 | | chessdgc2: peyote: Good question! I didn't know "premium" was there....seems like White will drop a piece after 1...d3? |
|
| May-12-13 | | peyote: almost sounds like a euphamism |
|
| May-12-13 | | Eyal: <peyote> I think this "premium member" is the default icon (i.e., if you don't choose any avatar). |
|
| May-12-13 | | haydn20: 32. Qxb3 axb3 Black has a B for two P's but the b Pawns may provide some drawinf chances (maybe not on this level tho'). |
|
| May-12-13 | | DcGentle: Black should win with 32... Ke8. |
|
| May-12-13 | | Eyal: After 32.Qxb6 axb6 33.Nc3 d2 White has to give up the bishop for the d-pawn; but now after 32...Ke8 (33.e6 Rd6!) it might be just over for him. |
|
| May-12-13 | | Ulhumbrus: Karjakin has handled strongly this type of isolated d pawn at least once before, in the game Carlsen vs Karjakin, 2012 |
|
| May-12-13 | | lost in space: 32...Ke8 33. e6 Rd6! is the way Black avoids trouble (mate with 34. Qf7) and wins afterwards, for example 34. Nc3 d2 and white loses a piece after 35. Bxd2 Rxd2 |
|
| May-12-13 | | Eyal: 32...Ke8 33.e6 (if 33.Qxh7 simply 33...d2 - White has no threats) Rd6! 34.Qxh7 Kd8! and Black is winning. |
|
| May-12-13 | | Tiggler: After 33 Qf5+ Karjakin is having a long think, but he looks quite calm. Aronian also has returned to the board and is in a deep huddle, even though both have lots of time. |
|
| May-12-13 | | Ulhumbrus: <32...Ke8 33.e6 (if 33.Qxh7 simply 33...d2 - White has no threats) Rd6! 34.Qxh7 Kd8! and Black is winning.> 34 Qf7+ Kd8 35 Qg8+ Kc7 36 Qf7 proposes a draw by repetition as Black seems unable to defend the bishop on e7 |
|
| May-12-13 | | DcGentle: *hmmm* Karjakin still has doubts apparently, but I hope he will play the move required. |
|
| May-12-13 | | chessdgc2: Tggler: Thanks for those visual details...a picture says a thousand words! |
|
| May-12-13 | | Marmot PFL: Long think by Karjakin just to verify that 32...Ke8 works, or else he might have to accept a draw. |
|
| May-12-13 | | Eyal: <Ulhumbrus: <32...Ke8 33.e6 (if 33.Qxh7 simply 33...d2 - White has no threats) Rd6! 34.Qxh7 Kd8! and Black is winning.> 34 Qf7+ Kd8 35 Qg8+ Kc7 36 Qf7 proposes a draw by repetition as Black seems unable to defend the bishop on e7> He doesn't have to defend it - White would get mated shortly after 36...dxe2 (37.Qxe7+ Kb8). |
|
| May-12-13 | | Eyal: Posting once again the link to the camera that shows the players: http://www.livestream.com/norwayche... |
|
| May-12-13 | | watwinc: Does Black have to worry about the Be7? Surely he can simply pick up the White Ne2, threatening to queen the pawn. |
|
| May-12-13 | | Tiggler: ..Ke8 played! |
|
| May-12-13 | | chessdgc2: In situations like these, once a players sees his clear advantage he doesn't want to spoil it by moving without knowing for sure what his opponent's counter-chances are...once he convinces himself Aronian's defense won't hold, you'll see sparks fly! |
