  HeMateMe: nice swindle! always surprising to see GMs pull wins out of the somewhat simplistic Piano, but it still happens.
May-21-17  Sokrates: Yeah, 28-Qd5! is the kind of move you might overlook. OTOH - Inarkiev should have warned himself from assuming that Hou had not prepared for the obvious Bf4.
May-22-17  beenthere240: I thought Hou's attack was entertaining. 11....f5!!?! Perhaps a little disrespectful of poor Ernesto.

  Sally Simpson: "11....f5!!?! Perhaps a little disrespectful."

Why is playing 11...f5 perhaps a little disrespectful? She stirred things up on the board going for a win.

You shake hands at the beginning and the at the end of the game. What goes on in between is determined by the laws of the jungle.

Start showing respect and you will never put a piece in your opponent's half of the board for fear it might upset their ego or enrage some spectator.

And a 'swindle.' Was White ever clearly winning in this game?

May-22-17  PhilFeeley: Well said, Sally. A very nice win by Hou.
May-22-17  User not found: Good game.
May-22-17  Poisonpawns: The move 26.Kh1 was losing move since it allows Yifan to break the coordination and control of the Knights in the center.Inarkiev must play 26.d5 himself to maintain hopeful equality.
May-22-17  beenthere240: I just noted a bit of coffee house about the game (not that there's anything wrong with that). Reminded me of MC playing a Ponziani. Very entertaining.
