Kibitzer's Corner
Aug-14-10  JohnBoy: Did black flag out here? White is setting up for a mating attack, but I don't think it's quite yet time to resign.
Aug-14-10  niemzo: Seems that way, although he is dead lost. The c6 pawn is dropping and the endgame 3 pawns down is hopeless. Or white could try to mate with something like h4 etc.
Aug-14-10  crazybird: Naka on twitter after his win today:

<Finally a good solid win with White against Nielsen! However, there are still 7 more rounds and Black against Svidler isn't a picnic!>

Aug-14-10  Bobsterman3000: The knight exchange on e5 seems kinda strange for Nielsen... it leaves him with a very cramped and bad ds bishop and relieves Nakamura of his backwards d4 pawn.
Aug-14-10  ounos: After 15. Bc2, what happens after black takes twice on c5?
Aug-14-10  ycbaywtb: ounos: if bxc5, maybe bxa5 and there aren't two captures on c5
Aug-14-10  ounos: 15. ...bxc5 16. bxa5 looks terrible, e.g. 16. ...c5, with Qxa5 in the pipeline. This can't be it.

Hmm. Perhaps this one is:
15. ...bxc5 16. bxc5 Nxc5 17. dxc5 Bxc3 18. Bxh7!+

When I posted my first comment, I only saw 18. Ng5 instead, but 18. ...g6 19. Qg4, and while white as some pressure, I don't see this salvaging his position in the long run.

Aug-17-10  ycbaywtb: ounos, i was too lazy too look further, but your variation is revealing, i just figured there had to be some good reason.
Aug-18-10  JohnBoy: Even after the 18.Bxh7+ line of <ounos>, white has to play this right. 18.Kxh7 19.Ng5+ Kg8 (or h6) 20.Qc2 (not 20.Qh5 Bd3) is the follow-up. Looks like black's king's position ends up rather porous.
