I would almost automatically play BxN followed by Nf5 where it appears to be the classic case of Good Knight versus bad bishop. I am curious what my fellow gameknotters think of the position(especially those above 2000). Oh by the way Kamsky goes on to win a same colored biship ending.

At age 34, her ranking has slipped to 51 (from No. 8 in 2005) as the responsibilities of being a wife and mother — she has two children, ages 3 and 5 — have left her little time to train and compete. Since 1991, when Polgar became the youngest chess grandmaster in history, more than a dozen women have also earned the title. Two of them, Humpy Koneru of India and Hou Yifan of China, became grandmasters when they were even younger than Polgar. But no other woman has been able to break into the chess elite. Koneru is 23, and Yifan is only 16, so it seems likely that ...

The score is now tied at 4 points apiece. Since winning Game 1, Topalov had been stymied and outplayed. Though he had not been in any real trouble since losing Game 4, he also had not been able to find a chink in Anand’s armor, that is until Tuesday. Topalov was White and the opening was a Slav Defense, just as in Games 3 and 5. After 12 moves, the players reached the same position as they had in the earlier games, which Anand drew easily. He was the first to deviate, choosing ...

But the game on Monday was far from dull. Viswanathan Anand of India, the chess champion, had White for the second game in a row as the players reversed the order of colors now that the match is in its second half. As he has done throughout the match, Anand opened with the d pawn and played the Catalan. Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, who had stuck with the same first four moves in the previous games where he had Black, suddenly selected a new move, though one that is often played. Topalov played rapidly, indicating that ... Posted by sf115 | www6conf.org 12/14/2007 11:30:00 Play online chess Message: what happened later in the game? ——— At Halfway Point, Chess Champion Retains Lead of Title Match — For the first time in his title match with Viswanathan Anand of India, the defending world chess champion, Veselin Topalov, a Bulgarian, did not lose while playing Black. He also did not win as Game 6 ended in a draw. That preserved Anand’s one point lead. The score is now 3.5 to 2.5 in the best-of-12 match. The chess match is being played in Sofia, Bulgaria, and has a prize fund of two million euros, or about $2.7 million. Anand had won Games 2 and 4, when he had White, posing a serious problem for Topalov when he had Black. In Game 6, Anand again chose the Catalan opening, as he had in the previous games. Topalov responded as he had in Game 2, when he got a good ... Posted by ketchuplover | www6conf.org 12/16/2007 02:59:18 Play online chess Message: ——— Game 5 of Title Match Is Drawn; Anand Retains Lead — The World Chess Championship Match in Sofia, Bulgaria, resumed on Friday with a relatively uneventful draw. That preserved the one point lead of Viswanathan Anand of India, the chess champion, over the challenger, Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria. The score now stands at 3 to 2 in the best-of-12 match. In Game 5 on Friday, Topalov had White — his third of the match. He opened with the d pawn as he had in the two previous games he had White and Anand responded with the d pawn, as he had in Game 3. The players then repeated the first 14 moves of that game before Anand deviated slightly on move 15. Though he had drawn Game 3 rather easily, Anand either ...

Danailov may appear mad at times but my money is on Rustam being even madder when the chips are down.....Mind you, if I was Gata I'd leave "Dad" firm instructions to remain at home as he would be an unsettling influence....

Tho I was originally thinking and hoping it to be close with a real chance for Kamsky. On the other match-up, I take Rustam by TKO in round one .... }8-)) chesslab.com
