ALwoodpusher: When is the next World vs. "strong CC player" challenge?
|
|
| | Nov-03-09 48th World Junior Championship (2009) 
| |
|
ALwoodpusher: <niemzo>
You are indeed correct, so V-L would be champion as he won his game.
This obviously will be confirmed shortly.

| | Oct-21-09 D Fridman vs M Galyas, 2009 
| |
|
ALwoodpusher: Nice combo! The threat of f7+ is crushing.
|
|
| | Aug-24-09 V Anton vs F Baumbach, 1994
| |
|
ALwoodpusher: Nice final blow 51.Nf6! as Kxd6 52.Ng8 seals the deal.

| | Aug-24-09 Rising Stars vs Experience (2009) 
| |
|
ALwoodpusher: 20...Qa6?! seems to have been a bad choice by Stellwagen, he gets in trouble and had to swap Q for R+B after that. Maybe 20...Bf8!? but it seems rather passive. I would also have played 18...Bb5 instead of Nb5 with the idea of trading white bishops and then take the knight to ...

ALwoodpusher: Maybe Leko realized that 44.Rb5? drops the rook after Rxd3! and Qc6+

|
| | Aug-04-09 J Schulten vs E Rousseau, 1843 
| |
|
ALwoodpusher: Seems like black could have played 28...b5! instead of 28...Re6 which ends up wasting a move.
|
|
| | Jul-27-09 N Abasov vs Macieja, 2009 
| |
|
ALwoodpusher: You gotta be kidding (a 7 move draw)! Did these two drank themselves under the table the night before?

|
| | Jul-26-09 S P Sethuraman vs Dreev, 2009 
| |
|
ALwoodpusher: Weird opening, it goes from a Rossolimo to a black setup that looks like a Pelikan where he has none of the Pelikan/Kalashnikov/Loweental typical counterplay. Black looks lost after 26.g4!
|
|
| | Jul-24-09 V Malakhov vs Hector, 2009 
| |
|
ALwoodpusher: Seems to me Hector missed 16.Qa5! when he played 12..Qb8?! Black seems hopeless after 16.Qa5!
