  OhioChessFan: And yet another game......
Jan-19-17  RandomVisitor: The computer is scoring as roughly even, with white perhaps a bit ahead due to the two bishops.

  OhioChessFan: If Kxh5, then Kb5? Looks like the h Pawn is immune.
Jan-19-17  Marmot PFL: The e-pawn however is not.

  OhioChessFan: Either Rybka is wrong, or I got lucky to figure out the line <RV> just posted is obviously going to be what they play.

  OhioChessFan: Same thing. White has to trade DSB and Nd4+ ends it.
Jan-19-17  Pedro Fernandez: In the game Eljanov-Aronian my feelings always were in favor of Aronian. Although it is very strange I play The Bookie, this time I tried with the pick-three: Black (Aronian)-White (Wojtaszek)-Draw (Andreikin-Rapport). Still I need this draw, will see. The payout is 4604 chessbucks, not so bad.

  OhioChessFan: Andreikin is trying really hard to win what is a very drawn position. Maybe he really fancies his Bishop pair.

  OhioChessFan: Pedro, yeah, my hardest choice this round was that game. I chickened out and predicted the draw.

Thanks cg.c for all the games.

Jan-19-17  Pedro Fernandez: I got it! And the payout is 4694 chessbucks (no 4604 as I wrote).
Jan-19-17  Pedro Fernandez: Oh my great friend <OCF>, just it was 200 chessbucks! It was not that easy this pick-three. Cheers!
Jan-19-17  marcodpt: White never had winning chances in this ending
