 | | Mateo: <THE pawn: after Kh1 the only (logical) response I see ( and my comp agrees...or I agree with my comp. Whatever) is f5.> Yes but after 17... f5 18. ef Nf5 19. Nf5 Rf5 20. Nd4, White can make the exchanges you said Black should avoid. A difficult choice for Sokolov, because 17... f5 is the logical course. |
|
Jan-21-06 | | bharatiy: sokolov look at clock, at the end he may go into time trouble |
|
Jan-21-06 | | THE pawn: <Mateo> that explains in part why he takes so much time. |
|
Jan-21-06 | | SEMENELIN: thnx <chessgames.com> |
|
Jan-21-06 | | Ulhumbrus: Black has the Nb5 attacked three times while White has it covered but twice,so why does Black not win a piece? The reason is that Black has the N covered twice and not three times. This suggests that one answer to a faulty question is to point out the fault in the question. |

 | | tpstar: Wow, this game really slowed way down. Transmission OK?! Black has an inferior but playable position; I wonder what Sokolov is calculating. But getting in time pressure against Topalov is probably a bad idea. |
|
Jan-21-06 | | THE pawn: sok played d5 |
|
Jan-21-06 | | SEMENELIN: topalov shall win. |
|
Jan-21-06 | | vampir: Sokolov decided to do not move to the end. |
|

 | | ketchuplover: I like 18.Ba3 |
|
Jan-21-06 | | vampir: f4 and e5! |
|
Jan-21-06 | | percyblakeney: I think d5 was bad and that Topalov is winning... |
|
Jan-21-06 | | HoLySmOkE: maybe f4 |
|
Jan-21-06
 | | Mateo: <Ulhumbrus> I am wondering what does mean Ulhumbrus? |
|
Jan-21-06 | | SEMENELIN: i think topa could try f4?? |
|
Jan-21-06
 | | Moondoll: Sokolov should have played f5, he's running low on time, Topolav is winning, and this should be fun to watch.
hehehe (topa fan) |
|
Jan-21-06 | | vampir: 18.f4 , 19.e5 and may be 20.Ba3
|
|
Jan-21-06 | | SEMENELIN: Ba3 is a nice move for topa just to make soko's position cramped. |
|
Jan-21-06
 | | Mateo: <ketchuplover: I like 18.Ba3> I don't. 18. Ba3?! de. |
|
Jan-21-06 | | PaulLovric: black will lose to time |
|
Jan-21-06 | | SEMENELIN: sokolov could also counter attak. |
|
Jan-21-06 | | martynrob: dont like ba3 gives counter play |
|
Jan-21-06 | | percyblakeney: I think Topalov will play 18. exd5 first of all. |
|
Jan-21-06 | | percyblakeney: Many nice threats possible later involving c4, Bf4/Ba3, Qe2 or Re1 and so on... |
