 | | Mateo: And after 30...Qxd5, Black threatens ...Re8. |
|
Jan-21-17 | | Marmot PFL: Thought black could have doubled rooks and played for Rf2+. as it is Rb8 is not in play. |
|
Jan-21-17
 | | An Englishman: Good Morning: Looking at 31...Qc6. White can't break the pin except by 32.Kg1??,Nf3+. |

 | | Mateo: <An Englishman: Good Morning: Looking at 31...Qc6. White can't break the pin except by 32.Kg1??,Nf3+.> At first glance, you are right. But White has a tactical defence, 32.Rc4!. If 32...Qxc4? 33.Nf6+!. |
|
Jan-21-17
 | | FSR: After 31...Qc6, 32.Rc4 is possible, when the rook can't be taken because of Nf6+. A repetition of position may result after 32...Qd5 33.Rd4. |
|
Jan-21-17 | | not not: and black is still pawn down |
|
Jan-21-17 | | Marmot PFL: after all the tactics the players reach a rather quiet looking rook ending. |
|
Jan-21-17 | | not not: how about Rb4? attacking b7 pawn |
|
Jan-21-17
 | | An Englishman: Good Morning: Doesn't look that quiet to me--both sides have weak pawns everywhere. The biggest weakness might be the b7 pawn. If that falls, Black will have a hard time saving the a6 pawn, one of the advantages of the quart-grip. |
|
Jan-21-17
 | | Mateo: 38...Rf(e)xe3 would not be the best. White exchanges a pair of Rooks and plays Rb4. This is the point of 38.Rd4. |
|
Jan-21-17 | | Viktorerro: Rd4, with Black's b7 pawn in sight. |

 | | keypusher: Good game! |
|
Jan-21-17 | | JASAHA: Heading for a Draw. |
|
Jan-21-17
 | | An Englishman: Good Morning: And they promptly agreed to a draw. Honestly believed the position had more life than that, which probably explains why they play and I kibitz. |

|
Jan-21-17 | | Marmot PFL: The players call it a draw, the extra white doubled pawn not having any significance. |
|
Jan-21-17 | | Marmot PFL: Magnus winning, although Giri might resign before game can be switched. |
|
Jan-21-17 | | not not: not playing on? common, its just a board game, play it up! |

|
Jan-21-17 | | Marmot PFL: Black was in far too much time trouble to calculate anything like that. |
|
Jan-21-17 | | BOSTER: C5 is good enough. |
