| Jan-22-20 | | sudoplatov: It's always nice to have an extra piece now and then. |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | diceman: If you have to lose, it may as well be to the
top 2 guys in the world. :) |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | YetiBlitz: <sudoplatov> Although in that variation the h-file remains closed? |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | AdolfoAugusto: It Still has to happen. I will back the underdog. Go Firouzja,trounce the old man! |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | vonKrolock: Leko and Sesse both recommends now the exchange sac in 'b5' as best for Black... |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | Pedro Fernandez: Black has a rough diamond on the king flank but they are too "busy" to take care of it. White (who plays here the role of "thief") is seen with "hands free". I had a lot of time that I didn't see a game where the tempi are so critical. Position is quite delicate. |
|

 | | chancho: Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Magnus stomped on Kovalev like if he were a kid jumping on a bundle of hay. |
|
Jan-22-20
 | | PawnSac: < moronovich: Have just returned from the dentist :)
And a rather complex position we have here. > yes, determining who is better is like pulling teeth! lol greetings all! |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | vonKrolock: This was before 33...f3. Now it seems that that a decisive attack can be launched with 34.Rgh1 etc. The middle game goes on... |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | Ulhumbrus: < Atking: To give White the opportunity to open h file was a mistake. 30...h5 and if 31.h4 g4 was surely better.> On 35...h5 one alternative to 31 h4 is 31 Bc4 attacking the knight on e6 so as to undermine the g5 pawn |

 | | moronovich: <chancho: Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Magnus stomped on Kovalev like if he were a kid jumping on a bundle of hay.> And 20 years from now he will call it his hay days :) |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | Thief: <Pedro Fernandez: Black has a rough diamond on the king flank but they are too "busy" to take care of it. White (who plays here the role of "thief") is seen with "hands free". I had a lot of time that I didn't see a game where the tempi are so critical. Position is quite delicate.> Good thing White is a pretty damn good thief, then. |
|

| | PawnSac: Firouzja better get a move on. If the clocks are correct, he has 6 min for the next 6 moves to reach time control |
|
Jan-22-20
| | PawnSac: and it looks like Fab is squeezing him hard now. tick tock |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | Pedro Fernandez: Hey <PawnSac>, black big problem is the activity white pieces have, but also its very good colocation. |
|
Jan-22-20
 | | Mateo: 36.Qh2 threatens Rh6. |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | vonKrolock: The threat of 37.Rh6 is decisive. |
|
Jan-22-20
| | PawnSac: he played Kd7 but it still looks like Rh6 |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | boz: The king has removed his breast plate and is pointing at his heart. |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | Ulhumbrus: One way to avoid the threatened pin Rh6 is 37...Kd7 heading for c8 |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | Ulhumbrus: 38...Qe7 covers the d6 square |
|
Jan-22-20

Tomorrow is a rest day. |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | Ulhumbrus: 39 Qh3 pins and attacks the rook on f5 |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | Pedro Fernandez: My great <Ulhumbrus>, black big pride is lost, war gonna finish soon. But, how we may criticize this sixteen years kid? His performance has been notable! |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | vonKrolock: Ali looks as if he's no longer focusing on the game, just awaiting for the denouement (like in his game vs Carlsen). |
