Aug-20-09  Hesam7: Oh man, Leko gives away yet another win.
Aug-20-09  slomarko: Leko should retire from competitive chess.
Aug-20-09  Bobsterman3000: Leko achieved his goal.
Aug-20-09  Aspirador: Yeah, but 52...Bxh4 was a stroke of genius. Of course it shouldn't help, easiest would be 53.Ra3! and it should be simple. After 53.gxh4? Qd4! computers can confirm quickly that it's really a draw.
Aug-20-09  Riverbeast: <After 53.gxh4? Qd4! computers can confirm quickly that it's really a draw>

It's too bad, because Leko played so well up to that point and got a winning position

46. c6! was a shot

Aug-20-09  Vakus: Both GM's blundered. What's so amazing? That Leko didn't use Rybka's first line?
Aug-20-09  The Rocket: "Leko should retire from competitive chess."

and so should your hero Morozevich who is just as pathetic in winning positions... his game vs lagrave is a joke.

Aug-20-09  OneArmedScissor: <Bobsterman3000: Leko achieved his goal.>
Aug-20-09  sheaf: <Both GM's blundered. What's so amazing? That Leko didn't use Rybka's first line?> some times rybka's first choice is not that difficult to find..
