Mar-28-19 | | Marmot PFL: Thought black would trade queens, maybe white can mix it up with 15 Qb3 |
|
Mar-28-19 | | not not: Russia, if you hear me, send Naka a book of Karpov memorable games! |
|
Mar-28-19 | | Kirth Gersen: It's hard to believe Naka will win this after move 14, whatever the evals. Shankland is known for solidity and accurate calculation, and with a highly-symmetrical open structure with equal pieces it's hard to believe that he'll get anywhere |
|
Mar-28-19 | | ChessHigherCat: I'd play Rad1 even though the pin is illusory just to get the file with a tempo |
|
Mar-28-19 | | Pedro Fernandez: 17.Rfe1 invites to 17...Bxc4 18.Qxc4 Qd5 19.Qxd5 Nxd5 and the bishops on both sides are attacked. |

 | | offramp: Where will Black put his queen? |
|
Mar-28-19
 | | offramp: <Pedro Fernandez>, it is nice to hear from you. Your appearances are sporadic. |
|
Mar-28-19 | | Pedro Fernandez: That's the black's problem since a few moves <offramp>, now 18.Tad1 seems strong. |
|
Mar-28-19 | | actinia: Rad1 and Ne5 soon after could be problematic for black |
|
Mar-28-19 | | actinia: spoke too soon |

Mar-28-19 | | ChessHigherCat: I guess he played Qd7 instead of Rc8 so he can just play Bc5 if white doubles rooks |
|
Mar-28-19 | | Pedro Fernandez: As you see 18.Re5 avoids the variation I told you, but also maybe to fold rooks on e-column, however now Rad1 is not possible for white. |
|
Mar-28-19 | | Pedro Fernandez: Let's see: (I was writing this variation) 20...Bd6 21.Rxe8+ Rxe8 =, but now 22.Tad1?? 22...Bh2+. |
|
Mar-28-19 | | ChessHigherCat: This doesn't look like an all-night hula dancing game for Nakanaka. Unless Shakland screws up. |
|
Mar-28-19 | | ChessHigherCat: Wny not just Qe7 with a backrank mating threat if white moves the bishop? |
|
Mar-28-19 | | ChessHigherCat: Well, the main problem with Qe7 in this position is that the queens are off the board... |
|

 | | An Englishman: Good Afternoon: 25...Ne5 looks like a rather clever defense of the a7 pawn. If correct, White might as swap down to the draw and spend the extra time studying for his next opponent. |
|
Mar-28-19 | | spingo: Dear oh dear... Almost nothing happened. |
|
Mar-28-19 | | ChessHigherCat: After Bxh2 Bxh2 Rxh2 Re1+ Kh2 Re2 black gets his pawn back |
|
Mar-28-19
 | | An Englishman: Good Afternoon: 27.Ra1 looks like an interesting attempt to derive something from the position. White can now play 28.Bxa7,Bxa7; 29.Rxa7,Re1+; 30.Kh2,Rb1; 31.Rb7 and worry Black for a while. |
|
Mar-28-19 | | ChessHigherCat: <An Englishman: ; 30.Kh2,Re2 |
|
Mar-28-19 | | ChessHigherCat: Well Shankland can draw the blessed and blithest with black, no small feat (actually not sure what is shoe size is but the kid can play) |
|
Mar-28-19
 | | An Englishman: Good Afternoon: <ChessHigherCat>, true indeed. |
|
Mar-28-19
 | | Dionysius1: Oops. I doff my hat <wordfunph>. I'm pleased for Shankland. |
