 | | An Englishman: Good Morning: Perhaps White can just barely hang on, unless Caruana has some Petrosian magic in him. Looking at 49...Qh3+. |
|
Jan-21-18 | | watwinc: Either this is instantly resignable - or I’ve missed something big (again). |
|
Jan-21-18 | | ChessHigherCat: Caruana whipped up something out of nothing à la Carlsen. |
|

 | | OhioChessFan: Caruana is making this way harder than it is. How could he miss 48..Qh2, for crying out loud? |

 | | OhioChessFan: True, maybe way harder for me. I'm sure he's got this, 2 Pawns up. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Morning: Can we all pretend I didn't write that previous post? Thank you. |
|
Jan-21-18 | | ChessHigherCat: Caruana's a real perfectionist, Mr. "See-a-good-move-look-for-a-better-one" |
|
Jan-21-18 | | Gregor Samsa Mendel: Apparently, not all rook endings are drawn. Time for Hou to throw in the towel. |
|

 | | Gypsy: Is Hou using this as a learning opportunity? |
|
Jan-21-18 | | ChessHigherCat: Hey, she paid the tournament fee, she's going to sit in that chair until they come and chase her out! |

 | | OhioChessFan: All right, that's the final. <Gypsy>, shake what your mama gave you! |

 | | Gypsy: Good morning <An Englishman>. No worries. :-) Quite seriously, however: I very much enjoy your comments -- both for their technical content as for their gentle-but-dry-humor style! |

 | | AylerKupp: <<Gypsy> Is Hou using this as a learning opportunity?> I think that she uses all these tournaments as a learning opportunity. She knows that she has no chance of winning but also knows that the only way that you can improve is to play against stronger players. I personally applaud her for that. She could continue to play and clean up by playing in women's only tournaments but she knows that's not the way to improve her game. She would probably make more money doing that but prefers to make less money and get a chance to improve. |
|
Jan-22-18 | | john barleycorn: I think she is serious in her approach to improve. per aspera ad astra.
May the force be with her as I will not. |
|
Jan-22-18 | | ChessHigherCat: <john barleycorn: per aspera ad astra.> Through asparagus to the ashtray? |
|
Jan-22-18 | | john barleycorn: < ChessHigherCat: ...
Through asparagus to the ashtray?>
Pall Mall not asparagus. |
|
Jan-22-18 | | JustAnotherMaster: damn hou dat that is not gonna win one game and end in last place, hou should never get an invite again! Unless to play other inferior players |
