Aug-11-11  cjgone: Queen trapppppp!
Aug-11-11  TheRavenPK: Galkin can choose which piece to lose - the king or his lady.
Aug-11-11  DrMAL: Well, 36...Kg8 was a big mistake inviting the nice sac 37.Bxh5! Svidler played. Maybe black thought he had it covered with 37...Nf5 but it wasn't good either (nothing was). Svidler played the very powerful 38.Bg4! and the game was already lost. Nice game for Svidler! <TheRavenPK> I hate that decision...
Aug-11-11  sevenseaman: Powerful and solid is Svidler.
Aug-12-11  HAPERSAUD: another game showing why the caro cant

  al wazir: Hold on just a cotton-pickin' minute. What happens after 43...g5 ? If 44. fxg5, then 44. Qxd4+ and the Q gets away. If 44. Qxe6+, then 44...Rf7. I suppose the continuation is 45. Rh8+ Kxh8 46. Qxf7, and now black can defend with either 46...Rg8 or 46...gxf4. After 46...gxf4 47. Qe7 Qg8 48. f7 Qf8 49. Re1 Kg7, it's still not over.

Maybe I missed something?

  al wazir: OK, I see. If 43...g5, then 44. Rg3 wins the ♕.

Aug-27-17  Saniyat24: After Svidler plays 31.Qc3 the board is pretty as a picture....! Black King was cornered by the dangerous pawn trio e5, f4 and f6, and White's light square bishop then dealt a deathly blow to open up further attack from the Queen and the rooks...
