Apr-02-17  BOSTER: It looks like Onischuk beats Caruana. Is it possible?

  An Englishman: Good Afternoon: Thanks for the second game! And a curious one, at that. Here's a trap--34.Kf1?!,Nc4; 35.Rxc3??,Nd2+. If not for that stunt, the Knight would look completely useless.
Apr-02-17  GreenLantern: Caruana is ahead. White KS pawns are targets. So game was kind of boring. Shab is having a terrible tournament.
Apr-02-17  Imran Iskandar: I see Fabi going at least a pawn ahead, but I'm not good enough to see whether it's enough to win or not.
Apr-02-17  theodor: good night

Anybody who has an explanation for this evaluation ? (from chessbomb)

Apr-02-17  Papagambit: 41. ...Rg5 wins, probably other wins too
Apr-02-17  nok: keep pawns a & d or a & g?

  An Englishman: Good Afternoon: ...drawn. Except, of course, for the games where the inferior side blunders and loses.

  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.

  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?
