| Aug-04-09 | | slomarko: zarg the score of the game is clearly not correct, they have white playing Qa8 on move 43 which is absurd. |
|
| Aug-04-09 | | zarg: you can check the final position here

|
| Aug-04-09 | | slomarko: zarg please replay the last few moves of the game. IMO for example already 42.Qa5 is probably not correct because its a stupid move and black could mate with Rb1. almost certainly 42.f7 or 42.Rb3 was played. |
|
| Aug-04-09 | | zarg: <slo>, when playing through those moves... I fully agree that it look like a transmission error, and I also think you are quite right by assuming that the final position given isn't correct either. Berg had a very long game yesterday, so it wouldn't be too surprising if that had an effect today though. |

and when replaying the moves 39-47, it appears Berg had a nice advantage (which slipped away), but no mating attack. |
|
| Aug-05-09 | | slomarko: the only moment i think he had a good advantage is here: 
click for larger view he played Rfb8 but Qe5 seems much better and white would have to find the Qa6-Qh6 idea to keep his head out of the water. |
|
| Aug-06-09 | | zarg: Yup. We did figure it out, and it was all confirmed in phantom's blog: <Emanuel Berg could have got excellent winning chances by the strong centralizing Queen-move 42...Qe5! with a threat of Rb2 among other things. When he didn't find this he didn't get more chances and it ended up in a hard fought draw on move 72. With some 200 moves in the last 2 games for GM Berg it will be interesting to see how much fighting spirit the Swedish Champion can show up with in the next rounds.PS: The LIVE-stream of this game got corrupt after move 41. As broadcasted Emanuel Berg could have mated with a nice Qa1+, with a long forced mate-sequence as several observers saw. This position was never at the board so Berg did never have such a mating attack...

| Aug-30-10 | | Nosnibor: I remember playing Emanuel at the Karlstad Open in December 1989 when he was just a small boy of 8.Although I won comfortably he showed great promise even then. |

| Aug-31-10 | | Dredge Rivers: We are the Berg! Resistance is futyle! |
|
| Aug-17-11 | | rogl: Emanuel is currently playing a GM tournament here in Gothenburg, Sweden(TWIC is relaying it) and he is on fire. He has a perfect score after five rounds. In the fourth round he was black against German IM Mic Richter where the following position was reached after 34.♕c4+
click for larger view
Now Emanuel set a little trap with 34...♔g7! and Richter fell right into it with 35.♖xd4?! ♖c7 36.♕b3?? 
click for larger view
which was met by the killer 36...♕b4!! 0-1. Even if white plays the correct 36.♕f1 analysis shows that black has all the chances. |
|
| Aug-18-11 | | waustad: This is quite a change from his results in the recent Politiken tourney. Excellent job so far. |

| Aug-05-22 | | Nosnibor: Berg is having a rough time in the current Olympiad. W1 D1 L3. He fared better after his first three losses. |
|
| Jun-15-23 | | Nosnibor: Herewith my game against Berg when he was a small boy! Like most youngsters he played on to the last possible move . He did finish on 2 out of 7 which was a good result in a strong international tournament. (Event: Karlstad Open, Sweden.) (Round 1) (White: Emmanuel Berg ) (Black: John K. Robinson) ( Opening: Kings Indian Defence) 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nc3 g6 3.e4 d6 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.h3 0-0 6.Bg5 c5 7.d5 a6 8.a4 Nbd7 9.Bd3 Rb8 10.0-0 b5 11.axb5 axb5 12.Nxb5 Nxe4 13.Bxe4 Rxb5 14.Rb1 Rxb2 15.Rxb2 Bxb2 16.Bh6 Bg7 17.Qd2 Nf6 18.Re1 Ba6 19.Bxg7 Kxg7 20.Nh4 h6 21.Qc3 Qd7 22.Qa5 Qb5 23.Qxb5 Bxb5 24.Bf3 Re8 25.Be2 Bxe2 26.Rxe2 Nxd5 27.Re1 Kf8 28.Ra1 Nb4 29.c3 Nd5 30.c4 Nb6 31.Ra3 Nxc4 32.Rf3 Kg7 33.Rc3 Ne5 34.f4 Nc6 35.f5 Nd4 36.Re3 Nxf5 37.Nxf5 gxf5 38.Rg3+ Kf6 39.Rf3 e5 40.g4 f4 41.Rd3 Ke6 42.Rc3 Rc8 43.Rc1 d5 44.Ra1 Rc6 45.Ra8 c4 46.Re8+ Kf6 47.Rd8 d4 48.Kf1 c3 49.Rh8 Kg7 50.Re8 c2 51.Rxe5 c1=Q+ 52.Kg2 Rc3 53.Re2 Rg3+ 54.Kf2 Qg1 ++ I personally thought that this game may be of some historical value. |
