| Mar-10-06 | | percyblakeney: Very impressive win by Radjabov, and with +4 -0 =7 in the last eleven rounds of Linares (with one round to go) he shows what an extremely strong player he is already a couple of days before he turns 19! |

 | | benveniste: If Svidler gave back the piece with 16. ... ♘g5 and 17 ... ♘xf2, I evaluate the position as roughly equal. What do others think? |
|
| Mar-10-06 | | notyetagm: 40 ... ♖c1?? Svidler made a <loose piece> with his king exposed? After 41 ♘x♗+! ♘x♘ 42 ♕g5+ the <double attack> with check will win a whole rook. Like Dr. Nunn said, Loose Pieces Drop Off (LPDO).
An incredible blunder for a 2765-rated player. |
|
| Mar-10-06 | | notyetagm: Like Dr. Nunn wrote, <If your king is exposed to check, you need only one loose piece to lose material to a double attack>. Here that "only one loose piece" is the Black c1-rook. |
|
| Mar-10-06 | | Djuandemarco: 40...Rc1 was made in time trouble. Svidler had  20 seconds left to the time control |
|
| Mar-10-06 | | percyblakeney: At move 40 it looks quite bad for Svidler whatever he tries, one Shredder line goes 40. ... Qd2 41. Re4 Rxd5 42. Rg4+ Kh8 43. Qg6 Qd1+ 44. Kg2 Qxg4 45. Qxg4 and black must have problems stopping the white pawns. |
|
| Mar-10-06 | | Kelvieto: Seems that the Grunfeld and the Slav aren't working for Svidler |
|
| Mar-10-06 | | djmercury: The position was drawish before Svidler went in time trouble. The last couple of moves were not really accurate and the last was a clear blunder. |
|
| Mar-10-06 | | orio24: This seems to be the best game of this tournament so far. |

| Mar-10-06 | | supertimchan: <The position was drawish before Svidler went in time trouble. The last couple of moves were not really accurate and the last was a clear blunder.>
White was always in upper hand. Svidlers blunder shorten the game. |

 | | offramp: I knew Svidler would fade. He is up at 4am every morning listening to the Test match - like me. |
|
| Mar-10-06 | | notyetagm: <offramp> Up at 4 am, go +0 =5 -4 in the last 9 rounds. Not a good idea. |
|
| Mar-10-06 | | Fan of Leko: It looks pretty horrible, with no pawns left to defend the king, and Re4-g4 coming. |
|
| Mar-10-06 | | notyetagm: Note that after 41 ♘x♗+ Black must play 41 ... ♘x♘ and allow the winning <double attack with check> 42 ♕g5+ since moving his king out of the knight check gets Svidler mated: 41 ... ♔h8 42 ♕f8+ ♔h7 43 ♕g8+ ♔h6 44 ♕g6#
41 ... ♔g7 42 ♕f7+ ♔h8 (42 ... ♔h6 43 ♕g6#) 43 ♕g8# Notice the beautiful coordinated little team that White uses to mate the defenseless Black king in these variations: e7-knight, e6-pawn, and f5-queen. |

| Mar-11-06 | | ahmadov: This is one of my favourite games in this database. Well done, Teimour!!! |
|
| Mar-11-06 | | ahmadov: With this win Radjabov gets plus score (+1) against another greatest player of modern time. |

| Mar-11-06 | | Hesam7: <BLACK’s MOVE 16>
I think 16... Nh7 was the decisive mistake, 16... Re8 is recommended by GM Marin, but he does not discuss a tactical possibility for White, namely: 16... Re8 17. Rxe6!

| Mar-11-06 | | Hesam7: <BLACK's MOVE 16>
<GM Marin: Maybe 16...Ng4 would have been somewhat better, although after 17.Qf4 f5 18.Rxe6 White would get more or less the same kind of position as after his slightly innacurate 20th move.> I think 16... Ng4 was the right way to defend this position. After: 16... Ng4 17. Qf4 f5 18. Rxe6 Kh8

 | | LIFE Master AJ: Nice win by Rady, they should make this a "Problem of the Day." (But definitely not a Monday puzzle!) |
|
| Jul-20-06 | | acirce: Not a very impressive game by either side, but it's instructive to note how the mistake 11..h6? is punished. |
|
| Sep-15-06 | | fevered cheek: son of a snitch, what mind-boggling game from teimour |
|
| Oct-09-06 | | Ishaan: At such a young age this guy is a astounding tactician...what an attacker he is! |

 | | KWRegan: White apparently missed a crazy tactic: instead of the natural 25.Qb3+, 25.Qc1!!? seems to win material. Besides threatening the Knight on g5, it sets up the discovery 26.Nd5!, which works even after 25...Bh6 26.Nd5 Nf3/h3+ 27.gxf3/h3 Bxc1 because of the form 28.Ne7+! This was found by Toga II 1.2.1 run to 15-ply depth in 10-PV mode. |
|
| Sep-27-09 | | WhiteRook48: 41...Nxe7 42 Qf7+ Kh8 43 Qe8+! makes for a nice zwischenzug |
|
| Oct-02-12 | | PinnedPiece: GTM played 20 times
Score: 64
Par: 64
On two moves my choice was so bad that I had points deducted. Happy to say I found 41.Nxe7. I think Svidler would have found it too but he must have been short of time to move 40...Rc1. . |
