Oct-07-13  jamesmaskell: Solid draw to get the tournament underway. I really hope this is the tournament that sets Radjabov back on track because, ignoring the silly things he's said in the past, he is a cracking chess player and the collapse in his game this year was awful to watch.

Oct-08-13  jamesmaskell: According to Chessbase, 12.Rfb1 deviates from A Giri vs Ponomariov, 2011 and appears to be a novelty on the CG database.

as in <Najdorf,M-Eliskases,E>, Rio de Janeiro 1946; 1/2-1/2 (52).

Oct-08-13  Chessmaster9001: 12.Rfb1 is a tricky move, with an idea of provoking Bf5 to slow down the potential advancement of f pawn
