Jun-24-15 | | Gregor Samsa Mendel: <offramp>--The official tournament site has Stockfish, which gives white as +3.39 after move 47. |
|
Jun-24-15 | | Marmot PFL: You can see that on the main norway chess site, 3.39 white is winning. After taking g7 the connected passed pawns are decisive. |
|
Jun-24-15 | | whiteshark: Last round fun-tertainment ensured!! |
|
Jun-24-15 | | Marmot PFL: Rh3+ and Rxe3 then fails to Nf5+ |

 | | Penguincw: Oh, I see there are fewer than 10 pieces/pawns on the board. ♖♘♙♙♙ vs. ♖♗♙♙
Endgame Explorer: RNPPP vs RBPP White wins 51.3%, and draws 42.2%.
However, I see that g7 and h2 are soon to fall.
♖♘♙♙ vs. ♖♗♙
Down to 45.3% win (and 51% draw).
Endgame Explorer: RBPP vs RNP |
|
Jun-24-15 | | Marmot PFL: Caruana says Nxg7 and black can resign. |
|

 | | offramp: <Gregor Samsa Mendel>, thanks. I'm really surprised it's as high as +3. Stockfish must have seen something. I cannot imagine what. It DOES look bad for black, but not "+3". |
|
Jun-24-15 | | Gregor Samsa Mendel: Giri is finding the correct moves here. Things look really bad for Topalov. |
|
Jun-24-15 | | Marmot PFL: Those percentages mean little unless you know if the pawns are passed pawns or not. |
|
Jun-24-15 | | Tomlinsky: <offramp> Just checked Chessbase online Stockfish 6 and @ 41 ply it is shouting +10.56. |
|
Jun-24-15 | | chessdgc2: Yes it is true, chess is more of a game that involves circumstances rather than the clashing of raw data |
|

 | | perfidious: Time for e4, Nxb4 and killtown. |
|

 | | Penguincw: If I were in the spectator area, I would probably remind Giri of A Giri vs Kramnik, 2015, before getting dragged away by the cops. :) |
|

 | | offramp: If +10-Giri does end up winning then it'll go down as one of his best wins. He'll have beaten the leader of the tournament, who is clearly on top form. I'd love to see a Giri-Caruana match. |
|
Jun-24-15 | | Gregor Samsa Mendel: The b-pawn is about to fall. Cue the fat lady and the dancing rook. |
|
Jun-24-15
 | | offramp: Topa would love to give up his heresiarch for the pawns on e3 and f4 but that is not possible. |
|
Jun-24-15 | | Tiggler: <offramp: If +10-Giri does end up winning then it'll go down as one of his best wins. He'll have beaten the leader of the tournament, who is clearly on top form. I'd love to see a Giri-Caruana match.> Brilliancy prizes have gone out of style, but this game would get my vote. Anish conjured something out of almost nothing, and I don't think anyone saw it coming, least of all Topalov. |
|

 | | Penguincw: After 51...Ke6, white needs to be careful just once more. If 52.e4, then good, black can resign. However, if 52.Nxb4, 52...Rh3+ 53.Ke2 Bxe3, and Giri can play on for 50 more moves, but I think it's going to be drawn. |

 | | offramp: <Tiggler:... Anish conjured something out of almost nothing, and I don't think anyone saw it coming, least of all Topalov.> I always had one eye on a comment by <Perfidious> on about page 2. He said that ... oh, look it up. |
|
Jun-24-15 | | Gregor Samsa Mendel: Like I said, cue the fat lady and the dancing rook. |
|

 | | Penguincw: Topalov has resigned! Huge win for Giri, as not only his fans are cheering, but Anand's fans as well. |
|
Jun-24-15 | | whiteshark: 56.Kd4 ... and resigns |
|
Jun-24-15 | | Tomlinsky: <offramp: <Tiggler:... Anish conjured something out of almost nothing, and I don't think anyone saw it coming, least of all Topalov.>
I always had one eye on a comment by <Perfidious> on about page 2. He said that ... oh, look it up.> Yes, I also would love to have spent an evening, or two, with Kate Bush. Stonking performance from Giri. |
|
Jun-24-15
 | | scormus: A remarkable performance by Giri and a worthy candidate for best game. <Tiggler .. Topa never saw it coming> No, neither did I |
|
Jun-24-15
 | | chancho: Gotta hand it to Anish.
He convincingly demonstrated that he belongs amongst the top tier players. |
