RahulDravid(1787) whispers: f3?
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: i actually liked black's knight on c6; i thought he could play a6 a5 a4 etc..
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: could always prepare for b3
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: if knight remain on c6 , nc4 and white gains some iniative
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: nc4 ne5

adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: Ndc4 of course
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: yeah
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: problem is that bishop on g2 is a bit weak
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: the queen cant move
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: c5 break perhaps
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: time for black to open up the rook file

c5 {(2:13)
relay has set GMLeko's clock to 1:35:00.
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: :)
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: hehe
Harta(2120) whispers: (Sorry, took me some time). I could only find one game in my DB that has the position up to 16...Rc8, Berkes-Efimenko (Bundesliga, few weeks ago). White played 17. Nfd2 there, so 17. Nbd2 is a novelty, I think.
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: I see
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: lol
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: what is harta talking about?
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: !!!!
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: white has some interesting moves
pollock(2031) whispers: oh its gm loser boy and his catalan
pollock(2031) whispers: what a surprise
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: what u mean pollock
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: lol pollock you wish to be like these players
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: kik
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: lol
pollock(2031) whispers: i just joking :)
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: pollock is in dream world lol
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: i wud be happy to be a play like these losers
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: lol me too!
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: hehe
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: :)
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: kamniks opening is so deep and narrow , its hard to beat him with his classical style
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: lol its hard to beat him anyway lol
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: lol
Harta(2120) whispers: I find it hard to beat any of those guys.
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: i just said that}
19.dxc5 {(4:20)
relay has set GMKramnik's clock to 1:35:00.
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: rc7
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: which rook
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: and why would you do rc7?
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: a , i am guessing
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: you dont like Rxc5?
Harta(2120) whispers: black looks perfectly OK to me here.
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: not rxc5 i like bxc5
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: how come
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: rxc5 rxr bx and rc1
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: whiet takes the iniative i think
Harta(2120) whispers: Bc5 now, me thinks.
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: i kind of like Rxc5
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: Rxc5, Rxc5 Rxc5 Rc1 Be7
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: or instead of Be7 Bd6
Harta(2120) whispers: I dont see too many good moves for white after Bc5. His Nd2 and Be1 are not positioned too well, imo.
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: maybe bx yes
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: rook is more agressive
pollock(2031) whispers: rxc5 does allow white to activate r at a1
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: white can activate Ra1 shortly anyway
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: cept white's pieces are very cramped
pollock(2031) whispers: true but no need for helping them along
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: true
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: i just figure playing passivly leads to losses
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: these positions tend to petr to draw
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: i was watching the spice tourney the other day and one was playing passivly and she lost
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: obviously these guys are better but i dont think playing passivly is a good idea
pollock(2031) whispers: whats the passive move?
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: i think Bxc5 is a bit passive
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: i like more agresivve moves
Harta(2120) whispers: Bc5 is not passive. Bc5 says "Show me a very good move for white, Kramnik"
pollock(2031) whispers: well rxc5 rxc5 rc1 and and whites getting pieces out with tempo
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: yes pollock
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: yes but its not that bad
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: rc7 will be played at some point
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: Bxc5 is also good
pollock(2031) whispers: oh its not that bad?
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: bxc5 rxc5
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: could also play Rac7
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: i like rd7 but maybe not be good since it might lead to some problems
pollock(2031) whispers: could do that behind abishop on c5
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: yes could
Harta(2120) whispers: White's only decent move seems to be Nb3?
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: Nb3?
HunterGatherer(1988) whispers: Bxc5 Nb3
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: lol
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: he can just take
HunterGatherer(1988) whispers: Bxc5 Nb3 Nxb3 axb3
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: nb2 and the pawn structire is not so good
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: but some activity on a file
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: but that is helping white
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: lol
HunterGatherer(1988) whispers: and Nc4 after that
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: Nc4?
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: lol
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: Nxc4
Harta(2120) whispers: White has to get active somehow. His position is cramped. I dont think Kramnik will be aiming for this position again in future games.
HunterGatherer(1988) whispers: I mean, nice position for Nc4
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: lol cant now
HunterGatherer(1988) whispers: not right now
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: lol so why say it?
Harta(2120) whispers: Stay focused, Adam ;)
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: i cant
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: :P
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: people are saying stupidity
HunterGatherer(1988) whispers: Bxc5 Nb3 Nxb3 axb3 and Nc4 later
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: its kind of hard
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: NC4 later? lol
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: you have to prepare for Nc4 it is kind of hard with no support
HunterGatherer(1988) whispers: still don't get it?
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: yes i still dont
Harta(2120) whispers: Still drunk from winning the world series, Adam?
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: lol
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: very
HunterGatherer(1988) whispers: with that awful doubled b-pawn
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: lol so you want to open up the a file? in exchange for 2 double pawns? lol
HunterGatherer(1988) whispers: yes
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: lol
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: bad idea
Harta(2120) whispers: Do you have a better idea for white?
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: nope
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: lol
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: lol
Harta(2120) whispers: If you do, you might wanna text it to Kramnik's PDA, because he will be dying to hear it. :P
HunterGatherer(1988) whispers: it's not that bad I think
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: lol
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: i doubt it
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: moves@kramnik.com
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: he wouldnt want to hear from a 2000 rated player lol
HunterGatherer(1988) whispers: lol
Harta(2120) whispers: the game that I refered to, white played Nfd2 and later a3, to recapture with Nba3 to get active.
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: novelty at kramnik dot com
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: wud be funny ll
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: leko today!
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: bxc5 go leko!
Harta(2120) whispers: I like Kamsky's approach so far.
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: why ?
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: lol
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: is he playing well?
HunterGatherer(1988) whispers: Kamsky: d4 d5 Bg5
Harta(2120) whispers: Check out his game. You don't see 1.d4 d5 2.Bg5 too often at super GM level.
RahulDravid(1787) whispers: nice
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: lol we dont see normal good play at non GM levels :)
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: you also dont see g5 either lol

Harta(2120) whispers: Leko decided to play for the win. :)
adamredsox(1803) kibitzes: really?

Gambitzy(1362) whispers: Yes
Harta(2120) whispers: It's kind of interesting to see how the Fide's crappy handling of the recent world championships has led to a rift among the chess fans. Now we have Anand lovers who despise Kramnik, we have Topalov lovers who despise Kramnik, we have Kramnik lovers who think that all others suck, and so forth.

adamredsox(1803) whispers: maybe play b3
adamredsox(1803) whispers: maybe might have to sac that b pawn to gain better position; i think thats what he is taking the time for

adamredsox(1803) whispers: you can go there you know and whisper there

BMii(0) kibitzes: up
Harta(2120) whispers: pawn up? how?
tomito(2076) whispers: lol,he wouldn t be!
Harta(2120) whispers: I dont have the game open, but I think he played Rc1 last, black can play Bc5 then, white takes c4, black takes at d4 and then at b2?
Ralleyrolf(1760) whispers: Leko will check but then will have no way to support the knight on e5 without other concessions

Harta(2120) whispers: Fruit likes Bc5. A noob like me would never see such a move.
zulugodetia(1293) whispers: no then leko, a8 to c8
Ralleyrolf(1760) whispers: knight takes bishop will do black no good
tomito(2076) whispers: yeah,nice move
tomito(2076) whispers: it mates black if he take a pawn
Harta(2120) whispers: yeah and knight can not move..kinda zugzwangish
zulugodetia(1293) whispers: bishop is mai thorn, has been for a while!
zulugodetia(1293) whispers: main thorn
Ralleyrolf(1760) whispers: b-c5 is good also --quite right
Harta(2120) whispers: I gotta say if Kramnik plays Bc5, it's brilliant.
