  xenophon: 0-1 time surely
Jan-21-07  chessic eric: after ...f2 Ng3+ picks up a tempo.
Jan-21-07  euripides: I was wondering about 64...h4.
Jan-21-07  chessic eric: <euripides> prevents Ng3 - i like it. Gets the h-pawn one tempo further from the white king too.
Jan-21-07  euripides: 65.Ng3+ looks toughest now.

  An Englishman: Good Morning: Looking at Kxe7,h4; Kf6,f2; Nxf2,Kxf2; Kxg6,h3 intending ...Kg2.
Jan-21-07  technical draw: Looks like black made a mistake with 64..Ke2.
Jan-21-07  chessic eric: <An Englishman> Kxe7 loses.
Jan-21-07  Eyal: <euripides: I was wondering about 64...h4.> But it simply loses this pawn after 65.Kg5; after 64...Ke2, 65.Ng3+ Ke1 doesn't achieve anything for White.
Jan-21-07  AVA: i dont think Nxe7 loses..good morning white doesnt have to play Kxg6, Kg5 is better threatening Kxh4 securing at least a draw

  xenophon: does ng3+ escape?
Jan-21-07  grebenarov: After this game TOPalov is on top
Jan-21-07  jmelton: Good grief, this is so over! Why is Radjabov still playing? White has to give up his knight to stop the f-pawn, and Black queens the h-pawn easily. Are there other games still going on that we could watch?
Jan-21-07  euripides: One idea is Ng3+ Ke1 Kxe7 f2 h4 f1 Nxf1 Kxf1 Kf6 and White can even win ?

what a miserable thought to start the week off with.

Jan-21-07  chessic eric: <euripides> h4 is the key to anything for white.
Jan-21-07  grebenarov: <xenophon> best is best nomatter if you like it or not
Jan-21-07  TrueBlue: no xenophon, that's an excellent thought to start the week off!
Jan-21-07  AVA: radjabov missed kf1 lol

  chancho: 0-1 official
Jan-21-07  chessic eric: with ...Kf1 Aronian wins. But after Ng3+ the option to simply win the knight before it trades for f-pawn wasn't there.
