 | | Sally Simpson: Hi HeMate Me,
Wes is a professional player, he will do the GM draw thing if it suits him. Eljanov vs W So, 2013 (3 moves) W So vs Z Almasi, 2014 (14 moves) To secure first place in a tournament. But yes, usually a Wes So game is full of wee interesting moments. I enjoy his chess. |

 | | offramp: I voted for you! |
|
Jan-24-17 | | vonKrolock: Maybe 19 Rc3 is an improvement over Giri's move |
|

 | | Sally Simpson: Hi Offramp.
That is the 2nd time you have said that. When? What? Where? |
|

 | | HeMateMe: does black delay castling until R-c7? |
|
Jan-24-17 | | vonKrolock: Giri managed to trade Queens in b4 ... |

That is the 2nd time you have said that. When? What? Where?> In the Caissars! |

 | | HeMateMe: if black trades queens there will be a draw based on 7th rank checks by the rook pair? |
|
Jan-24-17
 | | HeMateMe: I like white's active position here. |
|
Jan-24-17 | | whiteshark: It seems they'll trade them now on d2.
The remaining ♖♖♘ balance of power is similar to Giri-Aronian.

 | | FSR: Even I might be able to draw now. |
|
Jan-24-17 | | vonKrolock: All too drawish :) |
|
Jan-24-17 | | whiteshark: <FSR> I can well believe that, too. ;) |
|
Jan-24-17
 | | HeMateMe: can white play R-b2 and swing his king over to the q side and win a pawn, faster then black can break in on the kingside? |
|
Jan-24-17 | | whiteshark: In rook endgames these isolated pawns on adjacent files have a tendency to do a runner |
|
Jan-24-17 | | sorin4: HeMateMe: So does not saw any win chance |
|
Jan-24-17 | | ughaibu: Why not 22...Rd2? If 23.Rc8 Rd8, 24.Rbb8, then Nc6....no? |
|
Jan-24-17 | | WinKing: <ughaibu: Why not 22...Rd2? If 23.Rc8 Rd8, 24.Rbb8, then Nc6....no?> No it doesn't work. 24. Rxd8+! not 24. Rbb8
22... Rxd2 23. Rc8+ Rd8 *24. Rxd8+* Kxd8 25. Rb8+ |
|
Jan-24-17 | | Absentee: Perhaps we could switch to Yi-Adhiban? |
|
Jan-24-17 | | Pedro Fernandez: <<offramp>: Since Aronian has played this a couple of times he probably has a good idea of the bones of the position.> That is right my great friend, and this position is a clear draw. Theoretically there is not chance to win. All of the best for you on this year, specially health and happiness! |
|
Jan-24-17 | | Pedro Fernandez: BTW, <offramp>, I did reoly you before 1/2-1/2, just a delay at CG. Cheers! |
|
Jan-24-17 | | Pedro Fernandez: C'mon CG, put us into some action, thanks! |

 | | ketchuplover: Dear chessgames...
White goes on the lower right. You're welcome. |
|
Jan-25-17 | | SimplicityRichard: Simply one of the best draws of the tournament in my view. Two brilliant tacticians go head to head.# |
|

 | | MissScarlett: Two brilliant memorists. |
