Jan-21-07 | | chessic eric: <boz> they have just passed the time control, and Navara looks better to me - up the exchange with queenside pressure, while Karjakin's pieces are tied up in the center. |
|
Jan-21-07
 | | chancho: <boz> those two are still at it. |
|
Jan-21-07 | | euripides: I thought that knight was dead. |
|
Jan-21-07 | | chessic eric: does 53...f4 win? |
|
Jan-21-07 | | chessic eric: 55.Nd5+,Kxa4 and this might be a draw after all. |
|
Jan-21-07
 | | chancho: I can't see how white stops that passer. |
|
Jan-21-07 | | chessic eric: he sacks the knight for it |
|
Jan-21-07 | | chessic eric: what i haven't done is calculate just how the white king mops up - but with the black king on a4, white has plenty of tempi. |
|
Jan-21-07 | | Marmot PFL: Th longer I look at this with Fritz the more I think 49..Kb4 was a mistake and that white missed a draw with 52.Kc6 |
|
Jan-21-07 | | euripides: a5 followed by Nc4 d2 is one possibility, as after ...Nh4 White can cover f1.Then can White manage to win the f pawn before BLack's king comes across ? |
|
Jan-21-07 | | chessic eric: <Marmot> you think Kc6 rather than Ke6 as played was the draw? I did feel that ...Kb4 was risky by Aronian, but i thought so precisely because it let the white king into the kingside. |
|
Jan-21-07
 | | chancho: I'm guessing 56...f3 next. |
|
Jan-21-07 | | chessic eric: if ...f3 then Nc3+ and on to d1. |
|
Jan-21-07 | | euripides: Given the clock times, if <marmot> is right this has been rather hasty play. |
|
Jan-21-07 | | Ingolf: Kb3 should do the trick |
|
Jan-21-07 | | Marmot PFL: getting rid of the b pawn right away I think was quicker. He is going to lose now by maybe one ortwo tempi, but in the other line the K takes b6 and gets back immediately. |
|
Jan-21-07
 | | OhioChessFan: 56...Ne3? |
|
Jan-21-07 | | chessic eric: good point <Ingolf> 56...Kb3 and white must sac the knight for f4. |
|
Jan-21-07 | | Marmot PFL: The positions are similaer except the knight instead of Na7-c8-b6-d5 goes Na7-c6-d4 and catches the f pawn. |
|
Jan-21-07 | | chessic eric: <Ohio> 56...Ne3 just loses a knight, right? |
|
Jan-21-07 | | chessic eric: <Marmot> yes, I think i see. Was there any danger in the whole black kingside just taking off in those lines? |
|
Jan-21-07
 | | OhioChessFan: Loses a pawn anyway. What am I looking at. |
|
Jan-21-07 | | chessic eric: <Eyal> Aronia doesn't have to simply play f3-2-1 in that line. |
|
Jan-21-07 | | Marmot PFL: I think (could well be wrong) that only g5 wins, and not by that much. |
|
Jan-21-07 | | Wild Bill: <56. -- f3> should win, shouldn't it? Is there a route for the White Knight to cover f1 in two moves starting with move 57? I don't see it. |
