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 | | Papagambit: 41. ...Rg5 wins, probably other wins too |
|
Apr-02-17 | | nok: keep pawns a & d or a & g? |
|
Apr-02-17 | | whiteshark: All ♖ endgames are ... |
|
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 .. |
|
Apr-02-17
 | | 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? |
