Jul-28-11 | | haydn20: h4, Kh3 to unleash the B and it might be over. |
|
Jul-28-11 | | haydn20: It may be hard to call him "Drawnik" for awhile. |
|
Jul-28-11 | | haydn20: Now 47 Nf5 I guess |
|
Jul-28-11 | | uscfratingmybyear: No Be4+ due to pinned king, that's the reason for K to h3 soon, to bring the B into the game with enough effect for the lady who is too short for her weight to start singing. |

Jul-28-11 | | boz: <uscfratingmybyear> Thanks I was questioning my sanity. |
|
Jul-28-11 | | Gordon1306: <boz:> White bishop can't move right now. |
|
Jul-28-11 | | DrMAL: just getting to this game...looks like in the nick of time, as black seems lost |
|
Jul-28-11 | | Gordon1306: Black is lost! |
|
Jul-28-11 | | uscfratingmybyear: <boz> Is okay, remember, don't believe everything you think. |
|
Jul-28-11 | | boz: <Gordon1306> Yes, I don't know why I would even bother to question a simple tactic with players like these. |
|
Jul-28-11 | | DrMAL: maybe they are being nostalgic about the good ole days when men were men and got mated LOL |
|
Jul-28-11 | | Shams: Kramnik's Dancing Rook always looks the coolest. |
|
Jul-28-11 | | Gordon1306: Mate in four! or lose the Black rook on c7. |
|
Jul-28-11 | | haydn20: <Shams> You're right, it's a helluva dancing rook! |
|
Jul-28-11 | | Gordon1306: Thanks CG - some vintage Kramnik is always welcome. |

Jul-28-11 | | kia0708: Kramnik, the Elvis of chess |
|
Jul-28-11 | | OneArmedScissor: What's the point of <46. h4>? |
|
Jul-28-11 | | jussu: <What's the point of <46. h4>?> 48. Kh3, I suppose. |

 | | Everett: Vintage Kramnik is right, with his patented Nf3, c4, g3 combo from his Black-crushing days starting in the mid-90's. Kramnik at his best is like some monstrous amalgam of Smyslov and Karpov. Here, he even looks a little Botvinnikish, especially with 16.f3 and 17.e4. Congratulations on a great game Vladimir! |

Jul-29-11 | | VLADMNIK: where are the Kramnik haters when you look for them |
|
Jul-29-11 | | Mr. Bojangles: <VLADMNIK: where are the Kramnik haters when you look for them> Under the rock... |
|
Jul-30-11 | | cormier: 23.Nd3 -> Knts attraction technique of the black pawns over-extention -> till 30.Nbd2 |
|
Jul-30-11 | | ashalpha: 32. d5 is a great conception opening up the dark square bishop and forcing exchanges which favor White. When Kramnik is in form he is really strong. |
