May-09-13  Just Another Master: Pathetic play by White, gave the game away ....weak sauce
May-09-13  Kansas City Mark: Superb game by Black. White was outplayed in every phase.

I see Karpov stamped hard on this guy. From the ultra-solid opening, the pursuit of a space advantage on one side of the board, then alternating his use of open lines. And finally converting the positional advantage tactically, all with great control. Textbook.

May-09-13  RookFile: Excellent effort by black.
May-09-13  RookFile: I thought the idea was that white was supposed to race his kingside pawns too. It's not like Larry is not aggressive enough to do that, either. I guess he was just a little off this time.

  dernier loup de T: 44.Ta7: Luc Pitallier propose cette position pour une analyse intéressante de tout ce dont les GM doivent prendre en considération et voir; la réplique de Conrad Holt (44...Fc5!) est ici le meilleur coup, voire le seul, pour prendre l'avantage; à l'inverse, le tentant échec en g4 avec la tour serait une bourde fatale, car si les Noirs peuvent gagner alors la dame blanche, ce serait au prix du mat: 44...Tg4+? 45. CxT DxD 46.Cf6+! Rh8 Th7+ mat!
