Kibitzer's Corner
Nov-24-07  Shams: after 12...b5 Radjabov declines to play for e3-e4 where his d-pawn could become weak. I love how fast he presses things on the kingside after 13.g4
Nov-24-07  suenteus po 147: I'm skeptical about that queen sac....
Nov-24-07  Shams: <suenteus po 147> of course it loses, but what else is black to do? either he takes once on e5 allowing a terrible pawn duo or white just takes over the entire kingside. no?

what about 16...f5 (instead of ...f6) blunting white's DSB and living with an eventual knight on e5<?>

Nov-24-07  suenteus po 147: <Shams> Alas, I have failed. I was simply trying to be a bit funny, since it's a phrase I often see applied to <winning> queen sacs.

I like your suggestion of 16...f5, but perhaps it is something the player could only have found in hindsight? It seems more committal than the current strategy up to that point supported.

Nov-24-07  Shams: how droll, forgive my total lack of humor. :)
