Kibitzer's Corner
Sep-29-16  Imran Iskandar: Brilliant game by Giri. Watching this live was very enjoyable.
Sep-29-16  silenttrain: same here! I particularly enjoyed watching the endgame.
Sep-29-16  Ulhumbrus: The computer gave 44...Kd6!! ( not exchanging knights by 44...Ne5+ first) eg 45 Kb5 Na7+! 46 Ka6 Nc6 47 Ka6 Na7+ etc
Sep-29-16  Chesstorian72: How is this bum winning at all! He's garbage! It's alright I guess since he's going to lose to svidler and kramnik.
Sep-29-16  CountryGirl: The rise of these apparently harmless Bf4 openings must be one of the big openings developments of the past half dozen years. Giri here is showing he can win Carlsen-style...
Sep-29-16  pajaste: Me playing this w/ a friend: 28...

"Ah, this is a draw, let's call it quits."
"Ok."

Wish I knew when two N are better than B+N.

Sep-29-16  1971: Tough game. Giri ground down that structural advantage. I don't agree with Tomashevsky's plan of trading a pawns as it left him with an isolated b pawn against Giri's queenside pawn chain. I want to see Giri keep winning.
Sep-30-16  maelith: This is really an impressive positional win by Giri.
Sep-30-16  dark.horse: Between White's 18th and 21st moves, White essentially makes 2 knight moves (Nd2-b5 and Ng5-f3) without Black making any moves at all!
