| Aug-04-09 | | zarg: Looking at the final position in today's game WGM Natalia - GM Berg at Arctic Chess Challenge:
click for larger viewdraw agreed, but it appears Berg had a nice mating attack with 44... Qa1+ |
|
| Aug-04-09 | | slomarko: line please |
|
| Aug-04-09 | | slomarko: Qa1 Kg2 Qg1 Kh3 and then what? |
|
| Aug-04-09 | | zarg: I was thinking Qf1+, Rg2, g4+ |
|
| Aug-04-09 | | slomarko: you are correct, it's an easy win, are you sure the result is correct? i doubt a GM can miss such a variation in a slow game. |
|
| Aug-04-09 | | slomarko: zarg the score of the game is clearly not correct, they have white playing Qa8 on move 43 which is absurd. |
|
| Aug-04-09 | | zarg: you can check the final position here

|
| Aug-04-09 | | slomarko: zarg please replay the last few moves of the game. IMO for example already 42.Qa5 is probably not correct because its a stupid move and black could mate with Rb1. almost certainly 42.f7 or 42.Rb3 was played. |
|
| Aug-04-09 | | zarg: <slo>, when playing through those moves... I fully agree that it look like a transmission error, and I also think you are quite right by assuming that the final position given isn't correct either. Berg had a very long game yesterday, so it wouldn't be too surprising if that had an effect today though. |

and when replaying the moves 39-47, it appears Berg had a nice advantage (which slipped away), but no mating attack. |
|
| Aug-05-09 | | slomarko: the only moment i think he had a good advantage is here: 
click for larger view he played Rfb8 but Qe5 seems much better and white would have to find the Qa6-Qh6 idea to keep his head out of the water. |
|
| Aug-06-09 | | zarg: Yup. We did figure it out, and it was all confirmed in phantom's blog: <Emanuel Berg could have got excellent winning chances by the strong centralizing Queen-move 42...Qe5! with a threat of Rb2 among other things. When he didn't find this he didn't get more chances and it ended up in a hard fought draw on move 72. With some 200 moves in the last 2 games for GM Berg it will be interesting to see how much fighting spirit the Swedish Champion can show up with in the next rounds. PS: The LIVE-stream of this game got corrupt after move 41. As broadcasted Emanuel Berg could have mated with a nice Qa1+, with a long forced mate-sequence as several observers saw. This position was never at the board so Berg did never have such a mating attack...

| Aug-30-10 | | Nosnibor: I remember playing Emanuel at the Karlstad Open in December 1989 when he was just a small boy of 8.Although I won comfortably he showed great promise even then. |
|
| Aug-31-10 | | Dredge Rivers: We are the Berg! Resistance is futyle! |
|
| Aug-17-11 | | rogl: Emanuel is currently playing a GM tournament here in Gothenburg, Sweden(TWIC is relaying it) and he is on fire. He has a perfect score after five rounds. In the fourth round he was black against German IM Mic Richter where the following position was reached after 34.♕c4+
click for larger view
Now Emanuel set a little trap with 34...♔g7! and Richter fell right into it with 35.♖xd4?! ♖c7 36.♕b3?? 
click for larger view
which was met by the killer 36...♕b4!! 0-1. Even if white plays the correct 36.♕f1 analysis shows that black has all the chances. |

| Aug-18-11 | | waustad: This is quite a change from his results in the recent Politiken tourney. Excellent job so far. |
