Jul-27-07  myschkin: Congrats for the 500th :)
Jul-27-07  Jesspatrick: Black has 5 minutes on his clock and then he can just resign.
Jul-27-07  Scarecrow: <myschkin> Thanks ;)

<game> 25...Nf4 seemed trickier to me with the continuation 26. Qf3 Nxd3 27. Qxd3 c4, now I can see no traps in 26. Bxc4.

Jul-27-07  myschkin: <jess> you say so being under the impression of the game before ... I still doubt the seen blunder was caused by time pressure.
Jul-27-07  outplayer: 27.Qh4 and if 27...Qxc4 28.Rac1 and the queen is trapped.
Jul-27-07  Jesspatrick: 27. Rfe1 and Black resigns.
Jul-27-07  outplayer: 27.Qh4?? Qc4 28.Rac1 Qe6
Jul-27-07  zanshin: 29.Qe5 (+5.29) or 29.Qc2 (+4.32)
Jul-27-07  outplayer: How does anybody know how to calculate precisely and faster?
Jul-27-07  daniellovesbeer: bye bye Bu
Jul-27-07  dabearsrock1010: <outplayer> do 6 trillion tactics puzzles
Jul-27-07  dabearsrock1010: Rc1 should seal the deal
Jul-27-07  myschkin: the chess formula of today: look how <wannabe> bet his chessbucks and you can be pretty sure ... he is right ^^
Jul-27-07  daniellovesbeer: 2 minutes for Bu, its impossible
Jul-27-07  outplayer: 32.Qd6
Jul-27-07  Karpova: Congratulations to Avrukh!
Jul-27-07  Chicago Chess Man: Even if he makes it to 40, looks like the D pawn would decide
Jul-27-07  Scarecrow: Very well played by Avrukh, I'm really impressed! Congratulations to him!
Jul-27-07  Marmot PFL: Looks like these guys could use that advice (Rf7?)
Jul-27-07  myschkin: Keep up the good work <cg>! Take care everyone
Jul-27-07  princeofdragons: Bu Xiangzhi did not do well in the opening. It looks like crap.
Jul-27-07  Gouki: <Very well played by Avrukh, I'm really impressed! Congratulations to him!>

yes indeed Avrukh absolutely outplayed Bu in this game!

hmm...i think its time Bu gives up on the playing the Slav? at least for this tournament :D

Jul-27-07  ajile: Looks like Black made a Bu Bu.

Jul-27-07  kingsindian2006: bu definitely fell apart after white's queen got his check in on move 17.
Jul-28-07  Kangaroo: <14 ... c5?> was premature. Black had to be more cautious. The other mistake was <15 ... f5?!>, although after <15 ... g6> White would have a long lasting advantage due to initiative: something like <h2-h4-h5> might have looked very dangerous for Black.
