Kibitzer's Corner
Oct-16-12  francis2012: A big mistake by G. Meier on his 16th move, b4?!, an unsound pawn sac that resulting to weakened his queenside. After the Queen exchange, finds himself that he would lose into the ensuing endgame. Congrats <Wesley So> in this pleasant win, keep it up!

Oct-16-12  iking: rick77, speak up.
Oct-16-12  Yuan26: Kb3!!! Genius mOve :)
Oct-16-12  iking: 31.... a5 thrust by Black doomed any chances of a draw
Oct-16-12  whiteshark: Solid win by Wesley, exploring nicely the few inaccuracies Meier made in the early middlegame.
Oct-16-12  Megadeth: So Meier and Wesley are now even.. 1-1
Oct-16-12  Marmot PFL: Maybe black wanted to prepare b4 with 16...a5, then realized his queen could be trapped. Instead black could retreat the queen, with a worse but not lost position.
