| Jan-17-05 | | themindset: considering judit's record against kramnik, this is a good result for her. |
|
| Jan-17-05 | | Milo: Reminds me a little of the first game of Kramnik-Leko. |

 | | offramp: I just can't help feelong tha JP could have done better somewhere. Could she ever habe doubled rook along the 7th? |
|
| Jan-17-05 | | hintza: <Milo> Yes, I was reminded of Kramnik-Leko game 1 once Judit had simplified to the postion with Queen against two rooks. Improvements for Judit are hard to find; she will be pleased with a draw against Kramnik, something of a nemesis to her, despite the latter's poor recent from and alleged health concerns, which I am inclined to believe are as serious as some have indicated. |

| Jan-17-05 | | arielbekarov: It was a great game though, and enormously thrilling to kibitz !
It was quite nice to predict some moves, before the last ones.
It will be a good endgame study !
I really hope that Kramnik is in good health, because today he showed that he will be dangerous for anyone.
And Judit Polgar is doing just fine !
It's needed two for such a great game !!

| Jan-17-05 | | amuralid: Great game. I was tense and thought Kramnik was worse off from move 20 onwards. Amazing how these GMs accurately assess positions. |
|
| Jan-17-05 | | Jafar219: Vladimir Kramnik beat Judit Polgar 19 to 0, with 15 draws.* |
|
| Jan-17-05 | | nfazli: great game,but what I dont undrestand why Kramnik agree to draw ,there is a game in data base (chigorin and janowski)black with two rooks and a pawn won...can someone explain? |
|
| Jan-17-05 | | hintza: <nfazli> Judit has perpetual check in the final position. Kramnik's decision not to play in is therefore justified. |
|
| Jan-17-05 | | Swapmeet: Black can't escape perpetual after Qh5+, Kg8, Qd5+, Kf8, Qd8+, and all the black king can do is move up and down the f-file, or go back the other way. |

| Jan-18-05 | | coffee monster: Kasparov Kibitzed live on this game at PlayChess, here's a complete transcript of what he said with a fraction of the other comments added for clarity: <Garry Kasparov (Observers): yes it's garry kasparov here \\
Garry Kasparov (Observers): i'm not playing at corus because FIDE planned match with kasim in Dubai in January \\
Garry Kasparov (Observers): I wish i could be there now but thx to fide i'm only watching this great event on-line \\
Garry Kasparov (Observers): but i'll play in linares for sure \\
Garry Kasparov (Observers): linares starts at feb 22 \\
Garry Kasparov (Observers): linares field is - anand, topalov, adams, vallejo, leko, kasim and myself> later after 28...Qg8
<Garry Kasparov (Observers): qe4 rc3 00 \\
Garry Kasparov (Observers): or 00 immediately> later after 34. Rh6
<Garry Kasparov (Observers): draw \\
Garry Kasparov (Observers): r1c2 rh7 etc \\
Harikrishna (Observers): what about qf7? \\
Garry Kasparov (Observers): qf7 qb8 qf8 rh7 kg8 qb3 \\
Harikrishna (Observers): rf7 \\
Garry Kasparov (Observers): rf7 bh7 \\
Super_GM (Observers): bh7? \\
Harikrishna (Observers): Mr kasparov you have played rh7 \\
Super_GM (Observers): lol \\
Garry Kasparov (Observers): rf7 then bh7 \\
Super_GM (Observers) you have rook on h7 \\
Super_GM (Observers) take ur own rook? \\
Garry Kasparov (Observers): i,m talking about rf7 now!!! \\
Harikrishna (Observers): qf7 qb8 qf8 rh7 kg8 qb3 rf7 \\
Super_GM (Observers): thought you were sayin in the line harikrisha was giving \\
Garry Kasparov (Observers): if yuo play qf7 then qb8 qf8 rh7 kg8 qb3 rf7 and then rh5> Interestingly Fritz thinks otherwise with regards to Rh5, maybe he just made a typo as Rh4 seems to hold or maybe he just wasn't enjoying the PlayChess experience. |

| Jan-18-05 | | admiralnemo: nice to see that kramnik has started to play the sveshnikov again. najdorf wasn't working out for him as well. |
|
| Jan-20-05 | | aw1988: A grandious Sveshnikov battle! |
|
| Jan-20-05 | | sergeidave: Why not 33. Rf1?? whit this move Judit would've kept an extra piece, no? |
|
Jan-20-05
 | | tamar: <sergeidave> 33 Rf1 Rf8xf1+ 34 Bxf1 Qf8! would be a great defensive move, winning the bishop on f1 and attacking the rook on d6. |
|
| Jan-20-05 | | notsodeepthought: <sergeidave> 33 ... Rf:f1+ 34 B:f1 Qf8 and black will regain the piece |
|
| Jan-23-05 | | mulondabl: great game for JP |
