 | | tamar:  click for larger viewExtra pawn for Kamsky but no way to hold it. Looks like he may even go a pawn down once h6 falls, but bishops of opposite colors should draw. |
|
Jan-04-10 | | frogbert: tamar, there are still knights on the board. for instance bc7-f4xg5 and there are no opposite coloured bishops if white captures the bishop - just an extra pawn for black... but i didn't consider deeply who wins the pawn rase. maybe the white king can attack b6 before black's king-side pawns become dangerous. |
|
Jan-04-10 | | visayanbraindoctor: <tamar> And you are right. It's a draw for Kamsky vs Landa. |
|
Jan-04-10 | | visayanbraindoctor: In Almasi vs. Safarli, I think the latter embarked on a mistaken combination with 22... Bb5
Almasi proceeded with
23. Nxb5 axb5 24.Nb6
which Safarli may have missed. It gains a tempo by threatening a King and Queen fork, forcing Safarli to move ..Qe6
and Almasi is able to jump his Knight here
25. Nd5 |

Jan-04-10 | | turbo231: It's good to see Kamsky playing better, even though the compatition isn't the best. |
|
Jan-04-10 | | LittleWing: Hajra Zoltan! Go for the victory! |
|
Jan-04-10 | | visayanbraindoctor: Almasi should win this tournament, unless Kamsky can beat him in their individual game. It would be nice to see GM Almasi play in Corus A. Non-Hungarian chess fans do not seem to notice him much. |

WHAT GREAT GRAPHICS - all games on same page- with a zoom - hope this becomes the standard - with NO USELESS COMPUTER ANALYSIS while the games are being played..
>
couldn't agree more...fabulous interface... |
|
Jan-04-10 | | falso contacto: <timhortons>:how's the winter in canada?
any information about kovalyov?
shame that caruana wasted his chances against vocaturo.
Daniele is not that bad a player I think, though. |
|
Jan-05-10 | | visayanbraindoctor: <Kamsky playing better> Kamsky is playing this tournament aggressively. And he will probably play very sharply in the penultimate game, in order to catch up with Almasi. It would be a morale booster for him if he could turn out good tournament performances before the Candidates begin. All Almasi needs to do in order to get at least a tie for first is to draw his last two games, and so he will most likely play more solidly. |
|
Jan-05-10 | | znsprdx: sheesh where is everybody? - or is it truly believed that less than 2700 GM's can't play great Chess? |
|
Jan-05-10 | | aragorn69: Innovative interface. Lots of progress are still to be made in live games graphics and analysis. |

Kamsky-Bologan looking pretty wild...it is not too often you see GM's play like 'C' playersTry 'analysis mode- what a great feature FAR MORE INTERESTING THAN BEING FED COMPUTER ANALYSIS- since it has a cute feature.. you can instantly work out variations to test your level of understanding... Personally I thought 20.Rd1+ was worth a try |
|
Jan-05-10 | | znsprdx: <aragorn69:> the graphics are great....only thing missing is a FEN link and ideally the possibility of copy-pasting an analysis line |

Jan-05-10 | | randzo: is there world team championship broadcasting somewhere? |
|
Jan-05-10 | | indianchessupdates: world team championship live

|
Jan-05-10 | | PhilFeeley: Kamsky exchanged rooks and lost his c-pawn. Why did he do that? I now see hope for Bologan. |
|
Jan-05-10 | | visayanbraindoctor: Almasi vs Vocaturo is getting pretty sharp and tactical. I don't know what Kamsky is up to, but it doesn't look right. |
|
Jan-05-10 | | visayanbraindoctor: Brunello vs. Caruana had the latter sacrificing a piece for three pawns, and a very interesting position. |
|
Jan-05-10 | | visayanbraindoctor: Vocaturo found it too hard to defend his exposed King, and Almasi wins. It proved to be a tactical slugfest, not something safe and solid for Almasi. |
|
Jan-05-10 | | Bdellovibrio: This reminds me of the US Championship of last year, where Kamsky was undefeated but couldn't rack up as many wins as Nakamura. |
|
Jan-06-10 | | siamesedream: Last round: Kamsky - Almasi - interesting game. |
|
Jan-06-10 | | Karpova: Fabiano Caruana beat Landa in 25 moves. |
|
Jan-06-10 | | Karpova: Michele Godena beat Bologan!
But the other interesting result is Kamsky's win over Almasi - so they are tied for first (but I don't know the tie-break system used). |
|
Jan-06-10 | | kurtrichards: Kamsky - Almasi 1-0 |
