  tamar: Gashimov's destruction of the Berlin in this tournament must be making Kasparov proud.

He uses the e6 break here as in the Onischuk game that looks very convincing.

Jun-15-09  regi sidal: Beautifully efficient game from Gashimov. Like each piece knew exactly what its purpose was, no ambivalence, no complications.
Jun-15-09  gus inn: <regi sudal> right on the spot - well, at least my impressions during the game.A truly pleasure to watch.
Aug-29-09  whiteshark: Gashimov annotated the game: http://chessbase.com/cbm/cbm131e/cb...
Aug-29-09  ARK84: What is the end Kill here? any1
Aug-29-09  whiteshark: <ARK84> White's threats are probably either <41.Kf2> with 42.Kf3/43.e4 to close the diagonal b1-h7 or <41.Rc4> intending 42.e4 with the same idea of cutting ♗ off.
