Jun-01-13		Pedro Fernandez: Knight defends the critical square f5.

Jun-01-13		plang: 58..Nc4 lloks interesting as well

Jun-01-13		ajile: Black is winning with ..Ng4.

Jun-01-13		chessdgc2: It's OVER!!!!

Jun-01-13		ajile: (-5.05)

Jun-01-13		plang: 61 Rh1 looks forced to stop mate

Jun-01-13		Marmot PFL: Nc2+ and Nxb4 looks simplest, when white may as well resign.

Jun-01-13		Pedro Fernandez: Rf1+ is very strong

Jun-01-13		ajile: click for larger view Analysis by Rybka 3 32-bit : 1. (-6.21): 3...Nc2+ 2. (-5.59): 3...Kc2

Jun-01-13		patfoley: This is a game they both deserved to lose. Both threw away won games.

Jun-01-13		Pedro Fernandez: It is enough Fabi.

Jun-01-13		plang: I disagree - I think Dominguez played very well

Jun-01-13		ajile: Time for White to resign.

Jun-01-13		DcGentle: White resigned.

Jun-01-13		Pedro Fernandez: < plang: I disagree - I think Dominguez played very well> True! The point is Fabi played really bad.

Jun-01-13		DcGentle: Dominguez played very well, that's true. His regrouping of pieces before move 40 was prudent and farsighted.

Jun-01-13		patfoley: Starting at move 36, the black rook retreat from c4 together with the misplaced night (f6 was wrong compared to e5 and d3) put white back close to winning. It did not have to happen.

Jun-01-13		DcGentle: White's <46. b4?> did cut off his rook. His idea was a counterweight to the black center pawns, but these were passers, the white a & b-pawns not. This made one difference.

Jun-01-13		DcGentle: <patfoley>: You are right in this regard, Black had other chances at this time, but I guess time trouble got in the way.

Jun-01-13		SuperPatzer77: Time for Leinier Dominguez to dance cha-cha with his talented woman in the Dancing With the Stars show. LOL SuperPatzer77

Jun-01-13		chessdgc2: It was one thing for White to allow 1...Rxd5, but allowing Black to take again at b5 proved fatal since White never had any real counterplay

Jun-01-13		An Englishman: Good Morning: Very tough, difficult struggle for both players. It would not surprise me if the silicon monsters uncover even more errors. But the paradox remains--the bad moves made for rather a good game.

Jun-01-13		Pedro Fernandez: <DcG> said it: 46.b4?? Further Caruana didn't follow Alekine's advice by playing Rb4! obligating the exchange of rooks and after of that the rook is a lot superior than the knight.

Jun-01-13		Eyal: click for larger view Caruana's last chance to put up serious resistance was probably here, after 55...Kd5, with 56.Rh2! - threatening Rh5+ & Rxe4, when Black apparently has no better choice than to exchange rooks by 56...Rg2+, and then with only R vs N things look different. Instead, 56.Rd7+? just misplaces the rook. This chance could have been prevented a couple of moves earlier, after 54.Ke2: click for larger view Where 54...Nd5! (instead of bxa6, which opens the 7th rank for the white rook) is a killer - 55.axb7 leading to mate after 55...d3+ 56.Kd2 Kd4!, e.g. 57.Re2 e3+ 58.Rxe3 Nxe3 and next move Black can choose between Nc4# & Rd1#.

Jun-01-13		whiteshark: Not the first endgame Caruana 'misplayed' lately, me thinks.
