 | | ketchuplover: congrats to Gata |
|
Dec-14-07 | | Ipecac: Now that´s a horrible way of losing, after 2 hours of searching perfection you end up winning by reflexes like if shooting ducks |
|
Dec-14-07 | | Caloy: Wow, great win by kamsky! and I thought he was losing at one point.. Congrats kamsky!!! |
|
Dec-14-07 | | Jesspatrick: It's over. The rook will dance for Kamsky |

Dec-14-07 | | malthrope: 37. Ngf7+ is just toooooo strong! Way to go Gata! :^) |
|
Dec-14-07 | | virginmind: bravo kamsky |
|
Dec-14-07 | | cotdt: WOW! That was some excellent game won by Kamsky. He played perfectly under time pressure! If he keeps playing like this he can beat anyone. |
|
Dec-14-07 | | Eyal: 37...Bxf7 38.Nxf7+ Kh7 39.Rd7 and the threat of Ng5+ followed by mate is lethal. |
|
Dec-14-07 | | nzstew: Well done Kamsky. And since it`s 2:30am in the morning I`m off to bed! |
|

 | | Honza Cervenka: Time for Rook to dance. Poor Alexey, but he has called it on himself alone trying to push too hard. |
|
Dec-14-07
 | | chessgames.com: Thanks to everybody for stopping by today. The action continues tomorrow morning at 5:00am (USA/Eastern). See you then! |
|
Dec-14-07 | | Tomlinsky: <cotdt> What engine are you using? Sargon II? |
|
Dec-14-07 | | Eurotrash: Well I'm glad somebody won. Now Shirov has to make the most of having the white pieces tomorrow. |
|
Dec-14-07 | | cotdt: <Honza Cervenka: Time for Rook to dance. Poor Alexey, but he has called it on himself alone trying to push too hard.> Yeah Shirov should have went for the drawish 22...Qg4 instead of Qxf6. |
|
Dec-14-07 | | MuradJ: Shirov has very well prepared in theory, but Kamsky has good tactic. Good game. |
|
Dec-14-07 | | malthrope: I think we can now remove all doubts re: Gata's comeback attempt... He has arrived! And, he's playing stronger than ever! :^) |
|

 | | Mateo: It's a forced win after 37...Bxf7 38.Nxf7+ Rxf7 39.Rgxg8+ Kh7 40.Rh8+ Kg7 41.Rdg8+ Kf6 42.e5+ Ke7 43.Re8+ Kd7 44.e6+. |
|
Dec-14-07 | | prikton: amazing. I never expect him to win so early. Such a solid performance. He really deserves the victory. |
|
Dec-14-07 | | vonKrolock: excellent game - white ♔ was exposed to atack, but Kamsky managed to protect his majesty from the black pieces - when the white ♖♖s arrived, the black ♔ was helpless in his corner cell... "no tricks, no fortresses - Gataulla attacks, Gataulla wins" |
|
Dec-14-07 | | cotdt: <Tomlinsky: <cotdt> What engine are you using? Sargon II?> Ha! Nice try, but I do not wish to reveal my secrets... |
|
Dec-14-07 | | znprdx: <AdrianP: Bloody fantastic - who'd have thought this would be the finish after Ng1!... Gata is hard as nails! He'll eat Topalov for breakfast.> Yup and he'll >Top-it-all-off< with crumpets and jam... what a beautiful game.... Congratulations to Shirov for giving us the good fight...
<Ipecac: New timing is horrible, it spoils 80% of the games now. I hope FIDE changes it again> on the contrary...this is Chess as it is meant to be played not 20 odd move handshake draws. |
|
Dec-14-07 | | whiteshark: The downfall started with <22...Qxf6> |
|
Dec-14-07 | | karnak64: Well, I was trying to analyze the game with Thomas the Tank Engine, but he just sat there and watched the board and didn't say a thing. Great win by Kamsky. Thanks to chessgames.com for carrying the match, and to the usual suspects for the insightful discussion and pleasant banter. |
|
Dec-14-07 | | tldr3: One of the most fighting games i seen in a while. Great job by both players |
