 | | moronovich: Aronian has just resigned. |
|
Mar-22-18 | | ChessHigherCat: e6 would lose the bishop, not just a pawn |
|
Mar-22-18 | | chessdgc2: Yes, it is possible Black will accept a perpet here. |
|

 | | chancho: All those tournament wins that Aronian has won of late, I'll bet ya he'd gladly give them up to win this candidates tournament. Alas, it's not meant to be. |
|
Mar-22-18 | | whiteshark: So Kramnik's delayed-action winning streak begins - the recovery is on! ;) |
|
Mar-22-18 | | not not: comm on Fabiano be cynical and force a draw ur in pole position! |
|
Mar-22-18 | | BOSTER: Rook e8+ is always good. |
|
Mar-22-18 | | ChessHigherCat: At least this way white can weasel out of mate: Rxg3+ Kf4 and maybe Rh3 black has to watch out for the king invasion, too. |
|
Mar-22-18
 | | moronovich: This will end in a perp soon. |
|
Mar-22-18
 | | Sneaky: Surely there's nothing more here than the obvious draw? |
|
Mar-22-18 | | chessdgc2: Kg4!!! No, it’s not that this move is so strong, it’s so “GUTSY”!!! White is taking a risk, showing that he’s out to win at all costs! Why not? With everything what it is, anything could possibly happen, but he’s playing Caruana! |
|
Mar-22-18 | | whiteshark: This reminds me to assess my
Game Collection: 47f_RR vs RB (plus pawns) |
|
Mar-22-18 | | ChessHigherCat: Would this win for black? Rxg3+ Kf4 Rdf3+ Kd4 Rf7 |
|
Mar-22-18 | | ChessHigherCat: Maybe not: Rf7 Rxf7 e6+! and bishop takes rook |
|
Mar-22-18 | | Petrosianic: <moronovich: Aronian has just resigned.> How could he?? He's not even in this game! |
|
Mar-22-18 | | chessdgc2: ChessHigherCat: Good question, it’s likely what will happen, though. |
|
Mar-22-18 | | Ulhumbrus: The computer analysis suggests that Black can lose. White's king threatens to march up to h6, f6 or e6 and Black can't just do anything |
|
Mar-22-18 | | not not: but if other rook joins assault with check on f3, white king cannot go up |
|
Mar-22-18 | | morfishine: Brilliant combination by Kramnik! He's back in it! |
|
Mar-22-18 | | ChessHigherCat: Black has a perpet for sure but I don't think white was ever better (Black can draw now??) |
|
Mar-22-18 | | cocker: If the king goes to g5, Black must play 43 ... Rf7 |
|

 | | Peligroso Patzer: <morfishine: Brilliant combination by Kramnik! He's back in it!> 36. Qe5 was a clever trap set by Kramnik, and, running short on the clock, Aronian fell into it. Kramnik nevertheless still has quite a hill to climb to contend for first place, having several players ahead of him in the standings and being two full points behind the leader with only four rounds remaining. |
|
Mar-22-18 | | sadow: Now black can go for win!! |
|
Mar-22-18 | | Marmot PFL: Only these two players can win now. Grischuk had a chance but barely even tried today. |
|
Mar-22-18 | | ChemMac: Now Black could try to win the game. I think Mamedyarov would have been sensible to take the draw. |
