Jul-11-09  OneArmedScissor: Jako has been the best person to watch in this tournament. Loses, wins, draws a completely lost game, and now is going all out against Kramnik.
Jul-11-09  Absentee: So much for Kramnik's boring play.

  chessgames.com: Today's game Bacrot vs Leko, 2009 (a short draw) is now available for review.
Jul-11-09  PinnedPiece: Jakovenko 17 minutes to make 9 critical moves but Naiditsch v. Carlsen in worse time trouble 17 min for 11 moves....
Jul-11-09  Calli: I guess 33.fxg6 hxg6 34.Qg5 and ?
Jul-11-09  Ulhumbrus: Kramnik intends probably ...Rg7 if White plays fxg6 and a R to h4. However his Rook has left the back rank, and one White threat now is Rd1 followed by e7 and Rd8
Jul-11-09  Bondsamir: It is interesting to see Jakovenko plays like a lion against kramnik and he was as scared as_____ in front of Carlsen!!
Jul-11-09  Marmot PFL: Naiditsch-Carlsen is not so complicated however
Jul-11-09  outplayer: Black has the initiative.
Jul-11-09  MrSpock: Time pressure: 33. Re3 Rd7!!
Jul-11-09  Marmot PFL: A sharp game that could have any result, but white is suffering from severe time shortage
Jul-11-09  Ulhumbrus: Suppose White plays 34 Rh3 without first exchanging on g6. Then on 34...Rg7 35 Bxg7 Qxg7 he has the option of f6.
Jul-11-09  outplayer: 34.fxg6 hxg6 35.Qg5 (35.Rh3 Rh7 )Rg7

  ketchuplover: Bg7 is worth a look imo.
Jul-11-09  OneArmedScissor: Just a reminder that Kramnik can generate a bank rank mate threat.
Jul-11-09  whiteshark: <33...Rd7!!> is easy to miss

Jul-11-09  Ulhumbrus: One trap for White to avoid is 34 e7 Ra7xe7!! 35 Bxe7 Rxe7! 36 Qxe7 Qxe7 37 Rxe7 c3 and Black wins!
Jul-11-09  outplayer: 34.Rh3 Rd7!
Jul-11-09  Ulhumbrus: On ...Rd7 Kg1 avoids the back rank mate. White has lost a tempo, but Black does not seem to have gained much
Jul-11-09  OneArmedScissor: An open file for his rook?
Jul-11-09  OneArmedScissor: uhhh 2 minutes left
Jul-11-09  acirce: Argh, how can you miss 33..Rd7 with 50-55 minutes on the clock? It's not like Kramnik is the one who needs to blitz.
Jul-11-09  outplayer: 34.Rh3 Rd7 35.Kg1 Rd1+ 36.Kf2 Rd5 wins
Jul-11-09  chessic eric: if 33...Rd7, isn't exd7,Rxe5 Rxe5 better for white?
Jul-11-09  Ulhumbrus: <OneArmedScissor: An open file for his rook?> Much in many other positions but not perhaps in this one
