May-15-10  Illogic: Seemed like Krush was better -- was disappointed when a draw was agreed.
May-15-10  MKalafatas: Agreed. 25...b5! was a great move and I don't understand the draw.

  HeMateMe: ....this kinda bites, no disrespect intended...all of two pieces have left the board. Perhaps some more chess playing should occur here? If you don't want to play for a win, why even sit down at the board?

Don't act like Fischer, but think like Fischer-try to find a win in the game, before accepting a draw. I really think an improvement in chess would be 1) annotations should tell you WHO offered the draw, and how much time was left on each clock when the draw was offered. Why is that so difficult?

May-17-10  weepingwarrior: I agree with HeMateMe! Krush is playing very good. I wish her the best! Her games always give me great joy to play over and learn from. Her games have taught me much! Thank you for playing great chess Irina!
May-19-10  goldenbear: <HeHateMe> They are both playing for a win. Nd2 threatens to win a pawn or to transfer the knight to d6. Be6 stops both of those threats and creates the strong positional possibility Bd5. The only way to prevent Bd5 is Nf3, and we reach an impasse.
