|
Nov-12-09 | | PinnedPiece: < a potato, Ivanchuk or Gelfand?> Boris seems to have sprouts starting in the lower area... |

|
Nov-12-09 | | messachess: Great game by Ivanchuk against a very tough opponent. Chucky looked dominating in this one |
|
Nov-12-09 | | Marmot PFL: Gelfand - Didn't leave you much.
Ivanchuk - You left enough. |

 | | HeMateMe: Why is this game termed an "uncommon opening"? I've had this position as white numerous times playing speed chess, up to whites 12th move. At that point, I don't think I pushed the d pawn. Surely this particular line has been looked at, and falls under the umbrella of the QGD or Semi slav? |

I love the way Ivanchuk mixes english and queen gambit |
|
Nov-12-09 | | Comejen: just great! |
|
Nov-12-09 | | ycbaywtb: if i could plan a game around a passed pawn like this, and defend my pieces as well as Ivanchuk defended his B at b7, i'd win games too, what a powerful, smooth game! |
|
Nov-13-09 | | paavoh: <HeMateMe> "Why is this game termed an "uncommon opening" All broadcasted games are that way before and during the game. I think CG.com correct it when the game is included in the database. Today, Nov-13, it is D12. |

Nov-13-09 | | Eyal: A couple of instructive differences made by move order here: 18.Qe2! chasing the rook away before taking on a7 - if instead 18.Bxa7 b6 19.Qe2 then 19...Rd4! with an active rook; on the other hand, 36...g5? which seems like Gelfand's decisive mistake (despite of several earlier inaccuracies) may have resulted from move order confusion - better was first 35...g5 and then (after the white bishop retreats) 36...Rc8, where White doesn't have the check on e2. And in the end, 42.Rb6+! is a nice touch - after an immediate 42.Kc3 Rf2 43.Rb6+ Kc5 44.Rxh6 Rf3+ 45.Kb2 Kb4 White may have a trouble converting his two-pawn advantage because of the much more active position of the black king. |
