| Jan-16-05 | | hintza: I have been looking at some possible improvements for Judit, but I don't think she had any winning chances. She may have had drawing chances until quite late. 13...a5!? is a very interesting pawn sacrifice indeed, and it appears to be sound. When watching the game live, 22...b4 was generally expected. This gives a similar position to the actual game after 23.Nd5 Bxd5 24.Qxd5 Qa3 anyway, and I don't think it really improves on Judit's 22...Rfb8. 24...Rc8 another idea but again things seem perfectly satisfactory for white. 29...Ra6 gaining a tempo from the actual game is apparently not much better either, e.g. 30.Qc4 Qe3 (30...Rxa2?! 31.Nxa2 Qxa2+ 32.Kc1 Qa1+ and the king escapes via d2) 31.Rb5 Qxf3 32.Rf1 Qh5 33.Rb7 and black is awkwardly placed. Many people watching live on the ICC were suggesting 31...Rxa4??, which fails to 32.bxa4 Qxa4 33.Nb3! with a winning advantage to white. Another unsuccessful try for black is 32...Rc6 33.Qd2 Rac8 34.c4 and white is fine. 33...Rb6 may improve upon 33...Ra5, e.g. 34.Rxb6 Qxb6 35.Qd5 Ra6 36.Qd2 and white still looks good here. 35...Qa6 36.Qd3 Rxb5 37.Nxb5 Bb6 is worth a try but does not really trouble white. 37...Qc5 looks like a definate improvement over 37...Qf2, 37...Qc5 38.Qxc5 dxc5 with good chances of drawing. 39...Qxf3 looks significantly better than taking the h-pawn as Judit did, although at this point she was in minor time trouble. One line is 39...Qxf3 40.Nf6+ Kh8 41.Rxd6 Qc3 with drawing chances. 42...Qh6 looks like a chance of holding out for longer after 43.Qxe5 Ra8+ 44.Kb1 Qf8. Finally, 43...Qh6 looks like the last chance of holding out for a possible, though admittedly unlikely draw, after for example 44.Qxe5 Qf8 and white looks very strong after 45.Qe7 Re8 46.Rd7! etc. |
|
| Jan-16-05 | | actinia: how about 36... Qxa5 with ideas like Ra7-Rc7 and Bd4 for black |
|
| Jan-17-05 | | patzer2: I'm impressed with Ponomariov's win. He slowly strangles the position, accumulating small advantages with no perceptible errors. Judit Polgar's play shows no glaring blunders, but her younger opponents strong play slowly steals the advantage and turns the game into a win. However, I do have one suggestion. Perhaps 33...Ba5!? instead of exchanging down material at this point would have enabled Judit to hold the position. Play might continue 33...Ba5!? 34. b4 Bd8 35. Nc3 Kg7 36. Rbd5 Rb6 37. Rxd6 Qc7 38. Qxc7 Rxb4+ 39. Ka1 Bxc7 = |
|
| Jan-17-05 | | patzer2: After Judit's 37...Qf2?! (better perhaps was 37...Bd2!? or 37...Qb7), Ruslan's double attack with 38. Qc6! gains a clear and perhaps decisive advantage. |
|
| Jan-17-05 | | Lawrence: <nimko>, Junior 8 suggests that Judith was OK after Pono's 26th move. Things started to get pretty bad after move 37, and by move 47 she could have resigned. |
|
| Jan-17-05 | | arielbekarov: <nimko> You are doing just fine in English ! You don't need any help in your native language. We are a lot of non-English speakers here and even native speakers, who
frequently are making spelling mistakes.
<Nimko> there is no reason in the world to excuse yourself for your English. You will learn a lot by writing postings ! And, I see that you have got some great help !
Now, I will take a look, if there really wasn't chances for her.
Ariel |
|
| Jan-17-05 | | arielbekarov: See, already a mistake !
It should be <we are a lot of non native speakers in English>
(See my previous message)
Pozdraviam ! (<Nimko> Is it correct ?)
Ariel |
|
| Jan-17-05 | | arielbekarov: <Lawrence> Junior 8 is the Israeli one that won the computer contest in Israel in July 2004, right ? Are you satisfied ?
If one compares with Fritz ?
Or is it sufficient with one of them ?
I have only seen Fritz and all the other "computerstars" on picture. I don't even have a computer of my own, but hopefully, I will have one in the near future. I am reluctant concerning these machines, but I find it fascinating as well. Is it a good idea to have bouth of them ?
Anyone may answer my question.
I would even be happy to get some different answers regarding <Junior 8 and Fritz> You find it hard to discipline yourself whether to use our own marvellous machine that we are created with first ?
Sometimes, I wonder about my own, but it has its good moments.
I believe firmly that we must do our utmost without the computer aid first, and then consult the artificial intelligence. Thanks in advance !

| Jan-17-05 | | Lawrence: <arielbekarov>, yes, Junior was invented by 2 Israelis. <Junior 9> is now on sale. No need to have 2 programs, any one of them is absolutely mindblowing. |
|
| Jan-17-05 | | hintza: <patzer2> I think the critical line after 33...Ba5 34.b4 Bd8 35.Nc3 is 35...a2+ 36.Ka1 Qf2 and black looks fine here. |
|
| Jan-17-05 | | zer0: According to Chess Today CT-1532 Pono missed mate with: 45. ♖d7! ♖f8
46. ♕xf8+! ♔xf8
47.♖d8# |
|
| Jan-17-05 | | Ron: <zer0> It is not a forced mate after 45. Rd7. Black does not have to move 45. ... Rf8. She could move Kh7.
But after 45. Rd7 Kh7 it might then go 46. Qxf7+ Kh6 47. Qg7+ Kg5 48. f7
Doesn't seem good for Black either way. |

| Feb-14-05 | | Albertan: Here is some analysis I have done of this game:
Ponomariov,R (2700) - Polgar,J (2728) Opening:Sicilian Defense,Najdorf
Variation ECO[B90]
Corus 2005 Wijk aan Zee (2), 16.01.2005
Play in the game began with these moves:
1.e4 c5
The Sicilian Defense, Judit's favorite response to an opponent who begins
the game with 1.e4.
2.Nf3 d6
[ Throughout her career Judit has preferred the move 2...e6 at this stage of
the game.]
3.d4
Attacking in the center.
3...cxd4
4.Nxd4 Nf6
5.Nc3 a6
This move usually defines the variation being played:it is known as the
Najdorf variation (named for GM Miguel Najdorf of Argentina). |
|
| Feb-14-05 | | Albertan: 6.Be3
A move which has become very popular among Grandmasters of late. Now Judit
has to decide whether to continue by chasing the bishop with the move ...Ng4
or not. [ Analysis:The main line continues with 6.Be2: 6.Be2 e5 7.Nb3 Be7
8.0-0 0-0 9.Be3 Be6 10.Qd2 Nbd7 11.a4 Rc8]
The game continued with Polgar playing the move:
6...e5
Polgar attacks in the center at the cost of giving up a chance to influence
or control the key d5-square in the future with her e-pawn. [ Analysis:
(a)In my database the pawn advance 6...e6 is more popular.; (b)If Judit had
decided to chase the bishop via...Ng4 play might have continued: 6...Ng4
7.Bg5 h6 8.Bh4 g5 9.Bg3 Bg7 10.Be2 h5 11.Bxg4 Bxg4 12.f3 Bd7 13.Bf2 Nc6
14.0-0 e6]
Going back to the moves played in the game, Ponomariov
next played:
7.Nb3
The main continuation in this position for White.
7...Be6
Judit develops another piece,which influences the key d5-square, preparing
the advance of her d-pawn.
8.f3
This pawn advance is the main continuation for White in this position,
reinforcing his e-pawn.
8...Nbd7
Judit develops another minor piece. [ Analysis:In my database the move
8...Be7 is more popular for Black in this position ie: 9.Qd2 0-0 10.0-0-0 b5
11.g4 b4 12.Nd5 Bxd5 13.exd5 a5 14.Kb1 Qc7 15.g5 Nfd7 16.h4 Nb6] For his next move, Ponomariov moved his queen:
9.Qd2
This move is the main continuation in response to Black's last move.He
prepares to castle on the kingside.
9...Be7
The main continuation for Black in this position,preparing to castle on the
kingside. |
|
| Feb-14-05 | | Albertan: 10.0-0-0
[ Analysis:Another move is the most popular for White in this position 10.g5
ie. 10.g4 h6 11.0-0-0 b5 12.h4 Nb6 13.Qf2 Nfd7 14.Kb1 Qc7 15.Nd5 Bxd5
16.exd5 Nc4 17.Bc1 Qb6]
The game continued with Judit playing
10...Rc8
(Placing the rook on the half-open c-file in order to gain counterplay.In
some circumstances Black will even play an exchange sacrifice on c3 (in
order to reduce the White player's control of key central squares). [ RR:The
move 10...h5 has also been tried here: 10...h5 11.Nd5 Nxd5 12.exd5 Bf5
13.Bd3 Bxd3 14.Qxd3 Bg5 15.Kb1 Bxe3 16.Qxe3 0-0 17.h4 Nf6 18.c4 Rc8 19.Qd3
Qd7 20.Rhe1 Rfe8 21.Nd2 b5 22.cxb5 axb5 23.Rc1 g6 24.Ne4 Kg7 25.Rc6
Kasimdzhanov,R-Georgiev,K/Metz 1997/EXT 99/0-1 (53); Analysis:The main
continuation on move 10 for Black is to play 10...O-O ie. 10...0-0 11.g4 b5
12.g5 Nh5 13.Nd5 Bxd5 14.exd5 b4]
Ponomariov now played the move
11.g4
(which is the most frequently played idea in this position for White.He
threatens to displace her knight via the move g5.)
11...Nb6
The main continuation for Black in this position, she frees up te d7-square
for her other knight.
[ RR:Another idea in this position was to polay 11...b5: 11...b5 12.Kb1 Qc7
13.Qf2 h6 14.h4 Bc4 15.Bh3 b4 16.Na4 Bb5 17.Nb6 Rb8 18.Nxd7 Nxd7 19.g5 a5

26.Rh8+ Papp,G-Szekeres,R/Budapest 2003/EXT 2004/1-0 (37)] Returning to the moves played in the game, Ponomariov
now played:
12.Kb1
He spends a tempo to take his king off the half-open c -file. [
Analysis:Equally as popular in my database is the move 12.h4: 12.h4 0-0 (
12...Nc4 13.Bxc4 Rxc4 14.Kb1 Qc7) 13.Kb1 Qc7]
Judith now decided to castle:
12...0-0

(42)] |
|
| Feb-14-05 | | Albertan: 13.h4
By playing this move Ponomariov tranposes the game into a more popular
continuation.He begins to mount pressure on the kingside,threatening to
advance her g-pawn. [ Analysis: in one game I found that White had played
the move 13.g5 ie. 13.g5 Nh5 (which would have taken the game back into a
more popular variation ie): 14.Rg1 Qc7 15.Qf2 Nc4 16.Bxc4 Qxc4 17.f4 Nxf4
18.Bxf4]
She now played a pawn move:
13...a5N

against his queenside,threatening to play ...a4. [ ..... RR13...Qc7 13...Qc7

The game continued:
14.g5
Displacing her knight (a key defensive piece of hers). 14...Nh5
The square Junior 9 was going to move the knight to.
15.Nxa5
He gains a pawn. [ Analysis:Junior 9: 15.Bb5 Nc4 16.Bxc4 Bxc4 (which would
have gained Polgar the two bishops). 17.Na4 Bb5 18.Nb6 Rc6] The game continued with Polgar playing:
15...Ra8
She gains a tempo for her pawn and places the rook on the half-open a-file
where it can be used to attack his king.
16.Nb3
The lost tempo. [ Analysis:Junior 9: 16.Nb3 Ng3 17.Rg1 Nxf1 18.Rgxf1 Nc4
19.Qd3 f6 20.Rg1 Qe8  ]
Polgar now played a knight move:
16...Ng3
Threatening his rook.
17.Bxb6!?
Ponomaraiov gives the "two bishops" to Polgar. Junior 9 evaluates the Polgar
has more compensation for the pawn after this move by Ponomariov. [
Analysis:Junior 9:Worse for him would have been to play17.Rg1: 17.Rg1 Nxf1
18.Rgxf1 Nc4 19.Qd3 f6 20.f4 Nxe3 21.Qxe3 Bc4 ]

| Feb-14-05 | | Albertan: The next moves in the game were:
19.Rxf1 Qa6
She attacks his unprotected rook,winning a tempo. [ Analysis:Junior 9:
19...f6 20.g6 hxg6 21.h5 g5 22.h6 Kh7 23.Rd1 Qc6 ] 20.Rd1

form of her pressure down the a-file.]
Polgar's next move in the game was:
21...Bc4

Analysis:Junior 9: 22...b4!? 23.N3e2 Bxe2 24.Qxe2 Qa3 25.Qb5 Ra7© (and
Polgar would have compensation for the pawn).]
The former World FIDE Chess champion next played the move: 23.Nd5
He spends a tempo to prevent her from playing ...b4. [ Analysis:Junior 9:

Rxa6 ]
23...Bxd5
Avoiding the loss of tempo associated with moving her other bishop (or
protecting it).
24.Qxd5
Junior 9 now evaluates that Ponomariov only has a slight edge in the
position. 
24...b4
(Analysis: Threatening ...Qa3 then ....Ra5.)
25.Rhd2
Increasing the pressure against her d-pawn. [ Analysis:Junior 9: 25.Rg2 Rb5

He next played the move:
30.Rb5
Threatening to win her b-pawn.
30...Ra6
She counters his threat with a more dangerous one ...the idea of ...Rxa2
which would give her a winning position.
31.a4!?
He decides to sacrifice his a-pawn, giving up his extra material. (seeing
now that she can capture it enpassant). [ Analysis:Junior 9: 31.Qc4 Bf8

He now played the only good move in the position:
35.Ka1
The only good response in reaction to her last move. [ Analysis: (a)
35.Kb2?? a1Q+ 36.Rxa1 Rxa1  ] Polgar now responded by playing: 35...Bb6
Activating her bishop at the cost of giving up her extra pawn. [ Analysis:
35...Qf2? would run into: 36.Rb7 d5 37.Nxd5 Kh8 38.Rxf7 ] The players now played these moves:

exf4 42.Nxh5 Qa3 And White has compensation for the pawn.] For her next move Polgar apparently began to lose the thread of
the position (or was in some time trouble) when she played: 37...Qf2?!
A dubious idea. [ Analysis: (a)Analysis indicates that Polgar had two better
ideas in this position: >=37...Bb6 38.Qc6 Bc5 39.b4 Qa3 40.c3 Kg7=; (b)
>=37...Qb7 38.h5 gxh5 39.f4 exf4 40.Qd4 Bd8 41.Nxf4 Bb6 42.Qc4 ) with
compensation for the material]
The players now played these moves in the
game:
38.Qc6 Rf8
39.Kxa2 Qxh4?!
Another dubious idea, perhaps she was in time pressure. [ Analysis:
(a)Better was 39...Qxf3. >=39...Qxf3 40.Nf6+ Kg7 41.Rxd6 Bb4 42.Rd7 Qf2;
(b)It appears that playing ...Bd2 would have saved the game for Judit:

|
| Feb-14-05 | | Albertan: Now Ponomariov played a capture on d6:
40.Qxd6
He once again goes a pawn up in material.
40...Bd8
Guarding the f6-square.
41.Nf6+ Bxf6
[ Analysis:It would be worse for her if she had moved her king to g7:
41...Kg7?! 42.Qxe5 Bxf6 43.Qxf6+ Kg8 ]
The two players next played these moves:
42.gxf6 Ra8+
Gaining a tempo for her pawn.
43.Kb2
The lost tempo.Now Judit appears to commit an
oversight when she played:
43...h5?
A mistake. [ Analysis:Better was the move 43...Qh6: 43...Qh6 44.Qxe5 Qf8

Ponomariov responded to her move by playing:
44.Qe7
Creating the threat of Ra1.
44...Qf2
(Threatening 46...Rc8.)
With his next move Ponomariov played a check:
45.Rd8+
He forces off the rooks. [ Analysis: A better idea for Ponomariov which
would have lead to a quick win was the move 45.Rd7: 45.Rd7! Kh7 46.Qxf7+ Kh6

Threatening to capture her f-pawn, the players now played these moves next: 47...Qd4+
48.Ka2 Kh6??
A blunder or an act of desperation? She now threatens ...Qc3-Qxc2 with
chances for a draw.

| Jul-22-10 | | YouRang: It certainly looks like Polgar lost this by taking her queen on a dubious pawn-grabbing venture on the kingside.
After the dust settled, white's king (which had been under quite a bit of pressure earlier) was quite relaxed with a couple passed pawns on the queenside, and black's forces looking out of position. In fact, white clearly was on the offensive, and black's hands were full defending the kingside while white had a pleasant pawn pushing ahead on the queenside. |
