 | | boz: <chessic eric> Yes,that wouldn't be good for Black, would it. |

 | | plang: <Morozevich tried a Petrosian-like exchange sac and lost.> ?!? Not today he didn't |
|
Sep-21-07 | | luzhin: If now 20.Bc7 then 20...Qe8 |
|
Sep-21-07 | | Themofro: <Benjinathan> Thanks! |
|
Sep-21-07 | | Themofro: <Ragh> Yes I know, that's why I was confused with the mention of an hour advantage and wanted to see if that or the timer on here is correct. |
|
Sep-21-07 | | outplayer: It is a dream vision. Anand will beat Gelfand and take the sole lead 1.5 points ahead of the field. I am singing in the rain... |
|
Sep-21-07 | | shyamsg: Draw? |
|
Sep-21-07
 | | boz: So what's worth more, the c-file or the d-file? |
|
Sep-21-07 | | notyetagm: Official website says draw. :-(

 | | chancho: <I am singing in the rain...> A fella once got hit by a lightning bolt while he was doing that... |
|
Sep-21-07 | | Themofro: Surprised that Anand didn't play on more, regardless a convincing demonstration as black against the number 2. Also surprised that Gelfand didn't play more aggresovely. |
|
Sep-21-07 | | popski: Boooo! |
|
Sep-21-07 | | seaotter: Oh Mio Dio,.... Whats the POINT!!!! Where is Sofia when you NEED her? |
|
Sep-21-07 | | Ulhumbrus: Instead of 19...Ne5, on 19...Qb7 20 Qc6 Qxc6 21 Nxc6 Rac8 the Ba3 prevents both Ne7+ and Rac1 |
|
Sep-21-07 | | doglikegroove: That was straight-up wack. Oh well, it's their money. NEXT! |
|
Sep-21-07 | | Ishaan: Gelfand had Anand in a tough situation in the very first round but agreed to a draw. Anand returned the favor. 2 gentlemen. |
|
Sep-21-07 | | MaxxLange: Anand's lead is slim. |
|
Sep-21-07 | | Themofro: <Ishaan: Gelfand had Anand in a tough situation in the very first round but agreed to a draw.
Anand returned the favor. 2 gentlemen.>
That's plausible, I would hesitate to call black's advantage that big, but knowing Anand this is definately possible. I'd rather hope that this is the case. |

Sep-21-07 | | you vs yourself: Rybka's eval of the final position: <(20... Qb7 21. f3 Rfe8 22. Qc7 Qxc7 23. Bxc7 Rac8 24. Bxe5 Rxe5 25. Ne3 g5 26. g4 h5 27. h3 Rybka v2.3.2h3.mp.x64 (1:06.46)-0.04|d23)> |

Sep-22-07 | | King mega: Again, Anand is the champ! |

 | | Richard Taylor: <boz: <RichardTaylor> Yes, I slipped up there in my choice of terms. The young GMs should lobby for forced retirement after the age of 30.> Lol! Of course I was hoping for some bites from the other fanatics here!! Anand and Aronian played an exciting game I see - if I awoke here in Kiwiland at the vastly uncivilised hour of 7 am or so I would be able to watch it but I go for walk about 10 am - hmmm - I am so used to the games being played here at about midnight... might be able to catch some after my geriatric (or anti geriatric!) walk. |
|
Sep-22-07 | | ahmadov: My hope came true and they agreed an early draw, even though I do not like early draws... Now Anand needs to use the rest day effectively and beat with White his next opponent, Aronian, on Sunday. |
