Nov-11-12  kellmano: Another great game from this tournament!

I have a nagging feeling White should have won, but perhaps Black's Rook on h5 is just too inconvenient a piece.

Nov-12-12  paavoh: Wonderful to see how the White Q was diverted and how Black Rooks got activity. In true French spirit!

  GrahamClayton: After 36.♘xc2 ♕xc2 37.♕g3 what is Black's plan? He is the exchange down plus the b7-pawn is under attack.
Oct-16-13  DiscoJew: Graham- After 37...Qxd2 38.Rxb7 Ng6 I have to wonder, more like what is WHITE's plan? Black will now continue attacking the weaknesses on the K-side, pressure the f4 pawn, and move his king to the square g7 as a long term general plan.

  perfidious: <Graham>'s suggestion of 37.Qg3 might be replaced by 37.Qg2 (which he may well have intended, and looks stronger). This keeps a better guard on the light squares and intends such ideas as Rc1 to drive back Black's one active piece. After this, it is not clear how much compensation Black has for the exchange.
