 | | keypusher: And after 14_0-0 we really are on our own, at least as far as the cg database is concerned. Beginner books used to say you should never pin a knight in front of an uncastled king, and as a corollary presumably your opponent shouldn’t let you off the hook by castling. But modern masters seem to scorn that kind of advice. |

 | | Breunor: Ran Stockfish for a minute here (before 17) - it has white at 1.14. I'm a little surprised the advantage is that much. It does look like the computer expects black to play g5. It had 17 Re1 though. |

 | | Open Defence: meanwhile, I think Erigaisi is worse in his game ..... his woes continue it seems |
|

 | | HeMateMe: Maybe white should play Q-c2 and connect the rooks. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Morning: Looks like an interesting struggle ahead. Describing the Ruy and the G.P. as an example of convergent evolution is a stroke of genius. Looking at 19.Ra1. |
|
| Jan-21-25 | | whiteshark: On his 21st move Black is down to nine minutes. |
|

 | | OhioChessFan: cxd4 is obvious here. |
|
Jan-21-25
| | OhioChessFan: White is soon going to have the two central pawns, but his DSB is ugly. |
|

| | An Englishman: Good Morning: Expecting 23.cxd4 with a decent pawn center. For me, the big question consists of when/if/can White ever push through with e4-e5 and exploit the weak squares on Black's King side. |

| | An Englishman: Good Morning: OK, so Praggnanandhaa thinks like me today. That can't possibly be good for him... |
|
| Jan-21-25 | | whiteshark: 1m:30s left for Black after <27...Re8> and the loss of a pawn. |
|
Jan-21-25
| | keypusher: Looks like a clean extra pawn for White. |
|
Jan-21-25
| | An Englishman: Good Morning: Can't shake the thought that Black's biggest weakness might consist of his h6 pawn. Thought White might play g3-g4, Ne3-f5, g2-g3, Kg1-g2 and Rf1-h1. Of course Black would have something to say, and White must have come up with a better idea. |
|
Jan-21-25
| | Open Defence: <An Englishman> yes the h6 pawn seems weak, also the White Knights threaten to dominate |
|
Jan-21-25
| | HeMateMe: Is there enough here for a win? |
|
| Jan-21-25 | | whiteshark: Time well spent on <40.Re1!>. Now bring in the ♘ to finish the job. |
|

| | perfidious: Speaking of convergence.... |
|
Jan-21-25
| | perfidious: The knight arrives at e5, intending to take the enemy forces to valuetown. |
|
Jan-21-25
| | Open Defence: very professional from Praggnanandhaa |

 | | moronovich: If we look at the dancing rook, it was Vishy Anand who won the game. But he is indian as well, so it stays in the family ;) |

| | perfidious: <moronovich: If we look at the dancing rook, it was Vishy Anand who won the game....> And so many say the old fighter is washed up.... |

Stockfish 17 depth=49
+0.33 14... g5 15. Bg3 O-O 16. O-O Bc8 17. h3 Be6 18. Re1 Nh5 19. Kh2 Qf6 20. Ra6 Bxc4 21. Bxc4 Rb6 |
|
Jan-22-25
| | Open Defence: < perfidious:> <....And so many say the old fighter is washed up....> a bit Vishy Washy perhaps |
|
