| Sep-09-11 | | bangkokgambit: Oh yes, she was smiling :) |
|
| Sep-09-11 | | SoltanGris: I wonder is a draw for black is always a good thing at these levels?
At least at the start of a round. |
|
| Sep-09-11 | | whiteshark: Yesterday has been a tought day, so a quick draw for Judit as well as for Ruslan is quite understandable... |
|
| Sep-09-11 | | whiteshark: or hte other game, <Grischuk - Navara>? |
|
| Sep-09-11 | | nuwanda: <HeMateMe:...Q-side castling may yet happen.> i think queenside-castling is these type of position is complete suicide... |

 | | HeMateMe: You should meet this fellow named Alexander Alekhine. He has different views on that sort of thing... |
|
| Sep-09-11 | | bangkokgambit: On one hand, Judit was so tired on yesterday match, on the other hand all of Judit's fan was also nearly heart-breaking watching her tie-break. The engine's evalution swept like a roller-coaster. So.. I think, there is on one complaint. |
|
| Sep-09-11 | | chillowack: A draw with Black against the powerful Svidler is an excellent start to this match: it deprives Peter of his best chance for victory, and swings the initiative over to Judit. A rather careless match error on Svidler's part, ceding White so easily. |
|
| Sep-09-11 | | BobCrisp: <I wonder is sister Sophia is watching 'lil sis Judit take on the big boys? She lives in Israel, right?> She moved to Canada with her husband a few years back. Like most of the world's Jews, she likes that Israel's there but she prefers not to live there. |

| Sep-09-11 | | Gilmoy: <Mr. Slim: ... this Kosteniuk outfit: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jx-KCnvjT...> Svidler: "J'adoube?"
Kosteniuk: "Nyet! And stop asking every other move!!" |

| Sep-09-11 | | kia0708: hahahaha

| Sep-09-11 | | fgh: Polgar, the "fighter". Go Svidler! |

 | | scormus: damn! missed the finish again because of work. Whens the the rematch? Judit, forget all that about the Kosteniuk outfit. What you should have is a goth look and a dragon tattoo on your left shoulder |
|
| Sep-09-11 | | beenthere240: I think Judit is a pretty good counterpuncher. Svidler probably doesn't mind playing black and moving toward the more rapid rounds. Of course if he loses tomorrow, he may rue this game. |
|
| Sep-09-11 | | Akavall: Qg4+ is powerful perpetual pattern to know.
I once used it in 45 45 league game, oddly enough my opponent didn't capture the knight (I took on g7 with a knight) and lost the game. http://mekk.waw.pl/mk/watchbot/game...
22. Nxg7 is at least a draw for white if black takes the knight. |
|
| Sep-09-11 | | YouRang: <Domdaniel: Good draw. I hope nobody thinks such short games are 'wrong' - I'm not sure why Svidler made the 'offer' with Qc2, but once it was on the table it was the rational choice for Judit.> Right, many short draws are worthy of criticism because they are *unfought* draws, simply ending with an unclear position. In this case, it was perfectly sensible for Judit, with black, to force a draw via repetition and give herself a chance to win the match tomorrow with a white-piece win. I wonder if ...Bxg2! (forcing the perpetual) was a surprise to Peter? |

I hope nobody thinks such short games are 'wrong' - I'm not sure why Svidler made the 'offer' with Qc2, but once it was on the table it was the rational choice for Judit.> Not 'wrong', but neither Exhibit A in the case against Svidler being lazy, either. |

| Sep-09-11 | | rodmanlee: awesome! she's so focus and on the right track. |
|
| Sep-09-11 | | TheFocus: Yes, I am her trainer. |
|
| Sep-09-11 | | kia0708: <TheFocus> welcome to the Circle of Trust. |
|
| Sep-10-11 | | arkansaw: looks like the vile comments have been pruned! |
|
| Sep-10-11 | | chillowack: Arkansaw: maybe they should "prune" the commentor as well? |
|
Sep-10-11
 | | perfidious: <smackedupgoose: .....keep it up rooting for judit only because she is the only woman in the tournament.> Yeah, this is a great reason to pull for her-we couldn't enjoy Judit's games or anything silly like that, don't you know. <chillowack: Arkansaw: maybe they should "prune" the commentor as well?> We should be so lucky! |

 | | Domdaniel: <Shams> -- <Not 'wrong', but neither Exhibit A in the case against Svidler being lazy, either.> Heh. I did try to makes that case, didn't I? Oh well... Apparently he wound up in a line he hadn't prepared, reasoned that it was level, and saw no point in trying to win. And considering the way the 2nd game went, it's hard to fault him. |

Here's an example of an even stronger player covering up with a quick draw as White when caught out in the opening: Kasparov vs Sosonko, 1982. <Eric Schiller> didn't have much to say about this hammer-and-tongs affair in his work on GK. |
