| Feb-28-05 | | Kadimo: Anand could win this game . |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | hintza: <acirce> Congratulations on winning your game. Sometimes it is your turn to have the luck, and when it is, then don't let anyone take that away from you! :-) |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | fgh: <Chris00nj: <SCUBA diver: Why think so long over an obvious move KxB> 44. KxB Qe3+ 45. Kh2 Qf4+ 46. Kh1 Qf1+ 47. Qxf1 exf1Q+ 48. Kh2 Qf4+, then follows repetition for black. Otherwise 48...Qf8 49. Nc6 and white can't stop the pawn from queening.> 48. ... Qf8 loses to 49. Nc6, but 48. ... Qb1! is a nice trick which prevents queening. |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | who: < Phoenix: Thanks, <aw1988>. It would be nice to see a Kasparov victory to give Kramnik something to think about. Then again, Anand's a great guy, and a gentleman and it would be good to see him finally beat Garry for the first since who-knows-when. So it will probably be a draw in 43 moves. :-) > Good call (well almost). |

 | | tpstar: <Anand Versus Kramnik> So that's why they drew! ;>D So Kramnik was White and Anand was Black, right? And at what point did they switch, and when did Kasparov take over? Oh I'm so confused ... |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | orior: I don't understand this draw..
Black wins whether white takes the bishop or not..
The variation with 48. Qb1 wins..
someone please enlighten me here.. |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | euripides: <irior> the draw is 44..Bg3+ 45 Kxg3 Qe3+ 46 Kh2 Qf4+ 47 Kg1 Qe3+ 48 Kh2 and repeats. Neither side can afford to diverge from this. |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | orior: thanks euripides :) |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | alexandrovm: "I think it is over for GK" LOL <lidiarte> |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | hintza: Best of all is that he posted that long after the game had finished! |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | Morales: Until 23.Qxa2 the game is identical to Novik x Filippov, 1994, mentioned by Krasenkov in his book on the Sveshinikov. Then, black played 23....f4 and lost (the complete game is avaiable in newinchess.com). So, the novelty was Kasparov's fxe4 in move 23 ! |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | VishyFan: 30. h3 by Vishy was questionable, wasn't b5 a better move? |
|
| Feb-28-05 | | Bobsterman3000: What about 30. Qxe4 ??
Doesn't that remove the e4 pawn and prevent it from being a threat later? Anand was in no real danger at this time, and could afford to make preparatory moves... |
|
| Mar-01-05 | | VishyFan: even 31. ♖f1 doesn't look toooo good, 31. g3 would've been lot better, may be 32. ♖f1 would've happened, but g3 would've actually cut the bishop out of attack on the f2 square, where eventually the ♖s were traded with a strong position for the black ♗ |
|
| Mar-01-05 | | watchchess79: Why not 35. Qxe4 by Anand? In that case that pawn is also taken and moreover there is extra support from the queen for the b and c pawns? Is there any particular reason for which he played 35. Qe2? Can anybody explain? |
|
| Mar-01-05 | | hkannan2000: <Watchchess79> If 35 Q*e4 then 35 .. Rf4! and 36...Qf8 attacks f2 in a better way. Then the other 'e' pawn can advance comfortable too. Subject to analysis of course. |

| Mar-01-05 | | sarabjit: sarabjit: <euripides: <irior> the draw is 44..Bg3+ 45 Kxg3 Qe3+ 46 Kh2 Qf4+ 47 Kg1 Qe3+ 48 Kh2 and repeats. Neither side can afford to diverge from this. > why not ...46Kh2 Qf4+ 47Kg1 Qc1+ 48Kh2 Qb1 prevents queening !!?? |
|
| Mar-01-05 | | hkannan2000: <sarabjit> ???? Why should white play 48 Kh2? He can take the Q ! |
|
| Mar-01-05 | | VishyFan: <hkannan2000> that was a pretty bad line u've given. in case of 35. ♕xe4, the line is something like this 35... ♖f4 36. ♕e1 ♖d4 if Kaspa plays 36... ♕f8 he's doomed, coz 37. ♘xf4 ♕xf4 38. ♕e2 increasing Anand's chances |
|
| Mar-01-05 | | hkannan2000: <Vishyfan> True. The Rook has to go back. After that the game continuation shows the sequence i have outlined. That is doubling Q and R on the f file. I had also said analysis is required. May be Anand has, rather will have a better variation in mind when he did not take the e4 pawn. |
|
| Mar-01-05 | | VishyFan: <hkannan2000> he might have thought of better options or he might've missed Qxe4, simple! |
|
| Mar-01-05 | | AdrianP: Anyone think that Anand's a bit *too* relaxed? He blitzed out some stuff against Kasim yesterday and walked off with a draw and it looks like he could have set more problems for Gazza here. I wonder whether Anand will ever be able to compete with Gazza in terms of depth of ideas, just because things seem to come easily to him. Compare Capablanca and Alekhine, perhaps? |
|
| Mar-01-05 | | euripides: After 35 Qxe4 Rf4 the c4 pawn will fall and Black's position looks better. |
|
| Mar-01-05 | | VishyFan: <AdrianP> I think he tries to take advantage of the time troubles of his opponent and in the process makes some not so perfect moves...... <euripides> the c4 pawn will not be threatened at all, after 36. ♕e1, if kaspa played 36... ♖xc4, it'd be a disaster, coz 37. ♘b6 follows with the threats of black going exchange down or givin up the queen for rook+minor piece |
