May-26-10  shutupimthinking: What were the eventual time controls for this game?
May-26-10  kingsindian2006: 60 min for white and 25 for black with draw odds .
May-26-10  Marmot PFL: White played well, and after 34 Rc5! should be winning. But he had used a lot of time and plays inaccurately with 39 Rh1?, which just loses d4 and gives back most of the advantage.
May-27-10  ajile: How can this be a Slav with g6 and Bg7?
This is probably a Grunfeld Defense.
May-28-10  Granny O Doul: It's a Schlechter Slav.
May-29-10  lost in space: Nomen est omen. Möglichweise ist es ein Grünfeld-Slawe, aber höchtwahrscheinlich kein Schlechter Sklave.
Jul-11-10  Blunderdome: Does anyone know what Yury's losing bid was?
Jul-11-10  Landman: As I recall it was 39 minutes.

I give 34 ♖c2-c5!! the double exclam because Kamsky said he *completely* overlooked this idea.

Shulman's 34 ♖c2-c5!! is the best <RELOADER> of 2010, IMHO. How often does a super-strong GM like Kamsky *completely* overlook a tactical idea?

Jan-24-11  Bdellovibrio: The reloader 35. dxc5 also functions as a discovered attack on d5 by ♖d1. If ♖xd5 is allowed, black's ♘d6 is <pinned> to ♖d8.

Jan-24-11  Bdellovibrio: Question. In the 34. ♖c5!! ♗xc5 35. dxc5 ♖b8 variation, instead of 36. ♗f4, is simply 36. cxd6 best, where 36...♖xd6?? fails to 37. ♗f4 and 36...♖b7 (preventing ♗a7) is met by 37. ♖xd5 ?

Shulman's brilliant 34 ♖c2-c5!! gets the !!-notation from me because Kamsky said that he *completely* missed this idea.
