|
Apr-02-17 | | nok: keep all three, huh |
|

 | | An Englishman: Good Afternoon: ...drawn. Except, of course, for the games where the inferior side blunders and loses. |
|
Apr-02-17 | | Jack Kerouac: <englishman> It's always afternoon somewhere.. |
|

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Unless it's evening, <Jack Kerouac>. Of course, on my planet the average day lasts 45.2 Earth minutes... |

 | | Richard Taylor: I just blundered...onto this live game. It's naturally the inverse of England here so it is with daylight saving just changed 1 hour about
10.30 am....so it is morning here. It must be evening in England. About 9 pm but maybe it is just the end of the afternoon in St. Louis. Superficially it is about = but Black might be able to win. |
|
Apr-02-17 | | Jack Kerouac: Cosmic.
But with Caruana,I think he can find a win. Maybe not. |
|
Apr-02-17 | | BOSTER: f3 is good, or mistake? |
|
Apr-02-17 | | BOSTER: If they knew the theory, they'd shake hands and go to drink bear. |
|
Apr-02-17 | | Jack Kerouac: Black to make 'Spatial inroads' with C5? |
|
Apr-02-17 | | Jack Kerouac: 'Spatial' indeed. |
|
Apr-02-17
 | | Richard Taylor: But the theory doesn't matter in a live game so it is still possible for a win or a loss as well as a draw. Caruana is probably affected by the time situation and Onischuk knows that. |
|
Apr-02-17 | | whiteshark: Caruana is playing on increments .. |
|

 | | Richard Taylor: Tarrasch showed how to win with a pawn up in a real game. But I find it hard in such open positions. But Black has a chance to win, or lose on time. (Or vica versa but I think Black is in the best position for a win here as the White rook is getting pushed to the wrong place for best defence. But then I suppose there is a defence.) |
|
Apr-02-17 | | Jack Kerouac: Playing for a misstep now. |
|
Apr-02-17 | | Jack Kerouac: Misstep time at last? |
|
Apr-02-17 | | Jack Kerouac: Useless King. Useless pawn. Strong King, rook, and passed pawn. |
|
Apr-02-17
 | | Richard Taylor: It is drawn for sure. |
|
Apr-02-17 | | JimNorCal: "Useless King. Useless pawn. Strong King, rook, and passed pawn." Yet. Draw. |
|

 | | Domdaniel: One of the strangest six-piece endings I've seen. |
|
Apr-02-17 | | Jack Kerouac: Useless pays off. |

 | | chessgames.com: Thanks to everybody for participating in today's live broadcast. Remember that tomorrow is a rest day; we'll continue the US Championship coverage on Tuesday, April 4. Hope to see you then! |
|
Apr-02-17 | | chessdgc2: I hope White has a strong heart....it's gonna get stressful :) |
|
Apr-02-17 | | Marmot PFL: Onischuk is tough but I believe Caruana missed a few chances. |
|
Apr-02-17 | | Conrad93: 35. h5!? is an interesting idea. One trap being 35...f5 36. hxg6 fxe4 37. gxh7 Rc8 38. Rxc3 Rh8 39. Rc7+ followed by g5, or 35. h5 f5 36. gxf5 gxf5 37. Bxf5 Rxd5 38. Bxh7 with some chances for White with the passed f pawn. |
