| DoctorC: It seems that the threat of h5 cannot be parried. |

| DoctorC: That is an impressive liquidation under pressure. Especially great defense has been exhibited towards the last few moves. |

May-05-13 T Gareyev vs L Christiansen, 2013
| |
| DoctorC: Is the score sheet correct?
After 43 Qa5. Black has a decent position.
43 ...Bd6 seems to give an advantage to white. |

Mar-18-13 Gelfand vs Carlsen, 2013
| |
| DoctorC: 36. Qc3 followed by either Qb4 or Bc5 prevents passed pawns on the queen side for black. Also, the bishop needs to be transferred to possibly f6 via e7 (or simple exchanged with the knight; either way draw seems likely). |

Mar-17-13 W Ju vs E Karavade, 2013
| |
| DoctorC: Yes, 29 ...Rb3 is quite good. 29 ...Rb4 indeed seems to be a mistake. 24..Rb8 is good because there is still a threat of RXe4 which cannot be easily defended. White cannot afford to move the f pawn because it seriously weakens the king. despite apparent weakness of the black king. I |

Mar-14-13 E Karavade vs V Gunina, 2013
| |
| DoctorC: 26. Nxe5, Rxc3
27. Rxc3 Re6.
28) Rc7 Qa8 (Qb8 is met by Nd7 )
29) Qb4 RXe5
30) RXf7
White has 2 pawns for the knight. I am not sure how this proceeds.
Vasja,
27 exd4? is met by ..nd5. It seems to lose in many ways. Furtr c1 rook needs to defend the back rank. |
