 | | An Englishman: Good Morning: Thanks for the second game, CG! |
|
Sep-27-16 | | whiteshark: I'll Second! that |
|
Sep-27-16 | | whiteshark: 29...h6 30. Qh2 Qg4+ 31. Qg3 Nc4 32. Rf3 f5 with equal chances. |
|
Sep-27-16 | | Sokrates: Just arrived. SM really wants to dance on the corpse of the old champ. But it'll be difficult for him to include the rooks in the attack and although there is a potential force in his pawns on both sides of the board, Anand's ekstra bishop may toll eventually. Althoug Anand's king isn't shielded by any pawns he seems safe enough. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Morning: Funny how these Ruy Lopez games can transform into Benoni-like positions (d5, e4 vs. c5, d6). 23...a4 was an interesting prelude to the sacrifice. Black now has passed pawns on both sides of the board, and c4 has become available for the Knight. Still, the pawns haven't become threatening yet, and I don't know how Black intends to get the Rooks into play. |

 | | offramp: Yes, thanks for the second game! This one looks more full of fight. |
|
Sep-27-16 | | Marmot PFL: Looks like enough compensation for black to hold, but Anand might find something. |
|
Sep-27-16 | | WinKing: Wow! This game has some life. I think I would have no problem losing this from either side. ;) |
|
Sep-27-16 | | Marmot PFL: Anand gave back a pawn to activate his pieces and passed rook pawn. Looks rather good. |
|
Sep-27-16 | | Marmot PFL: Announcer says no doubt Anand is much better here. Ok, is that enough to win? That doesn't look so easy. |
|
Sep-27-16
 | | PawnSac: yea he sure is better! winning. Black can't even give up the exchange with ..Ra4 39.Rb2! and the back rank is weak. |
|
Sep-27-16
 | | An Englishman: Good Morning: Oh, no. We won't see the dreaded perpetual (Re3,Rf4+; Rf3,Re4; Re3, etc.), will we? |
|
Sep-27-16
 | | PawnSac: After ..Rxf3 Kxf3 Bb7 Ne3 white looks lovely! |
|
Sep-27-16
 | | PawnSac: No perpetual.. Ne3 (threats of Nc4-b6 or Rc4. black has problems to solve here. white won't give up the edge easily. |
|
Sep-27-16
 | | PawnSac: yup. and Rb2 is very good also (see above) |
|
Sep-27-16 | | Marmot PFL: Anand is persistent and usually does seem to grind out wins when he has advantage. Once the knight gets active it looks really tough for black. |
|
Sep-27-16 | | WorstPlayerEver: 40. Rfb3 looked rather deadly. |
|
Sep-27-16
 | | PawnSac: after Bc3 now Vishi has threats of Ng3-f5 also. a lot of things for black to have to solve |
|
Sep-27-16
 | | An Englishman: Good Morning: Wondering when White will play Rb6 now that the Bc3 prevents any attacks upon the d5 pawn. |
|
Sep-27-16 | | WorstPlayerEver: Black can't afford to exchange their Bishop for a Knight. Otherwise White's Bishop will be worth another Rook. Dilemma |
|
Sep-27-16 | | sachman19: <Ng3> |
|
Sep-27-16
 | | PawnSac: Sach.. Yep. If Rh4 Nf5 Rh2 Kg3 RxR? Bx and if he tries a discovery with Be2 then Re3 is simple enough. black certainly looks losing here |
|
Sep-27-16
 | | PawnSac: he may also play Ng3 Rh4 Rb6 to avoid trade |
|
Sep-27-16 | | not not: perhaps jumping with knight to g3 and then to f5 (hitting d6 pawn)? that was my first thought when I saw this position |
|
Sep-27-16
 | | PawnSac: yea me too, but after thinking a bit Rb6 before Nf5 keeps a tighter hold on the A pawn |
