| Jan-22-20 | | Ulhumbrus: Black's king has reached c8 but it does not seem safe there and Black's king side pawns seem more of a target than a weapon |

| Jan-22-20 | | Ulhumbrus: < boz: Svidler saying Firouzja not at his best today and yesterday but the world's best have a way of bringing out the worst in their opponents.> If this is one of Firozja's worse days what is one of his better days going to be like? Perhaps his most recent wins will give some idea. |

 | | keypusher: <dernier loup de T: Maybe time for resignation?...> I find it helpful when they play the finale out. :-) Congrats to both of them, and a reminder from Fabi just how strong he really is. |

Chess Viking vs Chess Einstein. |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | Pedro Fernandez: Chess Einstein was not born yet, <Chancho>. |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | cormier: 23...Rac8 is possibly the not the right move |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | sudoplatov: Quick analysis at a chess analysis site shows that 30....Kf8 was bad. Other moves leave White up about a Pawn but this makes it two Pawns or so. Someone suggested 30....h5 would have been better, the computer agreed. (Good suggestion.) I think White had the better game, at least from when I tuned in (around 20.Bd4). White always has good attacking chances because of the extra Piece. Computers still have trouble evaluating positions with asymmetric material balances that last many moves. Black's sacrifice seems very speculative. White has better development and the extra piece. |

 | | Sally Simpson: Hi jphamlore,
It's possible Ali decided that is twice he has had his teeth drawn and outplayed without a sniff at any complications or imbalance in the position. So today it was 'if you want me come and get me.' and we had Fabiano practically being forced to throwing forward the k-side pawns and castling Q-side. The lad played a piece for the central pawns sac. My old coach, Vladimir Smith use to call this: 'The Jekyll and Hyde Sacrifice" sometimes it's good - sometimes it's bad. I bet he was happier playing this one than the other two v Wes So and Carlsen. Three losses v (on paper) the three strongest players. Hope he has a pop at Vishy, these two could produce a tactical crackerjack. *** |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | ndg2: I knew round 9 and 10 would be very hard for Alireza, still hoped for half a point out of these round ds, alas. Today's loss was different from yesterday where Carlsen just crushed him. Against Caru he went deliberately into a very asymmetric variation with mutual chances to shine (and blunder). |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | wordfunph: my down under still intact.
sigh of relief.. |

 | | Richard Taylor: Looks as though Black blundered. Easy to miscalculate in Chess... |

Har har har har...TAAL's wrath n fury will lahar-ize your down there with ashfall. Who you think will snatch this Tata 2020? |
