Hoosier Daddy: There is a certain symmetry about the position—the pawn structures are almost in mirror image. Leko would be happy with a draw, and shouldn't have much trouble getting one from this position. |

Hoosier Daddy: Surely Re4 and White picks up two or three pawns on the queen's side. The rook cannot abandon the defence of the king's side. |

Hoosier Daddy: Exciting finish in Group B, Carlsen and Motylev both win to go to 9 points. Almasi could clinch outright first place if he wins. |

Jan-28-06 Van Wely vs Adams, 2006 
|
Hoosier Daddy: White's king is tied to defending the a-pawn, his knight to blockading Black's f-pawn. There's no way to make progress. |

Hoosier Daddy: This could come down to K and P versus K, and a tricky distant opposition. |

Hoosier Daddy: Knight endings are less drawish in character than bishop or rook endgames, so they are fully justified in playing it out. |
