Mar-06-08 | | percyblakeney: Topalov has played rather well in this Linares, a couple of the traditional blunders keeps him at +1, but that's no disaster in such a strong tournament. |

Mar-06-08 | | Open Defence: One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock, rock,
Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock, rook,
Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock, rook,
We're gonna rook around Leko tonight.
Put your Knight on e5 and Rook on a1,
We'll have some fun when the clock strikes one,
We're gonna rook around Leko tonight,
We're gonna rook, rook, rook, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna rook, gonna rook, around the Leko tonight. |

 | | Peligroso Patzer: <panzerkampf: what happens if [43. … ] Rxd4?> The suggested move would have brought about the following position:  click for larger viewWhite can now force mate by a tactical motif with which it is well worth being familiar: 44.Raa7 (threatens mate in two) 44. … Rfd8 (gives the King a flight square, but only extends the mate by one move; 44. ... Rxf6 is no better because it allows a back-rank mate starting with either 45. Ra8+ or 45. Re8+) 45.Rxh7+ Kg8 46.Rag7+ Kf8 47.Rh8#. |
|
Mar-07-08 | | acirce: Powerful game by Topalov. This is an interesting version of the Marshall, btw, that has only recently started to be taken up by top players (Bacrot, Aronian, now Lékó) but I wonder if it can really be as good as the real thing. It does have to be taken seriously though for sure. |
