Sep-17-06 P Motwani vs P Roca, 1986

MrSifter: <cjrubiks> <dabaru> After the Re7 move and the exchange of queens, the same result ensues if White simply continues with d7 after bxc4 i.e. Black is still helpless against the threat of Re8. |

MrSifter: Anand is about 5 and a half years older than Topalov - something to keep in mind. |

MrSifter: If there was an under-21 olympiad China might be the favorites with Bu, Hao, Yue and Jun all rising but showing solid results for a while now. Only Ukraine with their massive arsenal of young players can boast a higher quality field. |
