• Pam: Go Ivanchuk!
• greenknight: might be the most exciting game of the round, both these guys have been playing well
• greenknight: ivanchuk probably in a fighting mood after having to defend a worse position the entire game yesterday too
• greenknight: and we already have opposite side castling and open lines - I dont believe that the queen exchange suggested by rybka will go down
• phmilet: 13. a5 seems to be an interesting positional choice here
• phmilet: It also sets up tactical ideas like Nb6+ when appropriate
• greenknight: good call
• greenknight: the downside is the white queen has a choice of squares that aren't great after Nc5
• RoepStoep: man, this is going to be good
• RoepStoep: Anand Carlsen is practically over already
• vaughn: not repetision
• vaughn: ??????????????
• RobKing: haha
• g00golpleX: draw?! they both must still be tired from their grueling games yesterday
• RoepStoep: god, wth
• greenknight: wtf.
• RoepStoep: nakamura and ivanchuck agreeing a draw
• BigAlex: huh???
• RoepStoep: in this position...???
• siamesedream: that was fast
• BigAlex: how come?
• Destrudo: surprising for sure. a6 after Nb3 looks very interesting
• greenknight: these two were the last players I'd have expected to do that
• BigAlex: it´s a shame
• g00golpleX: considering their games yesterday it's not that surprising
• vaughn: @greenknight:actually that is morozevich
• greenknight: he's not here!
• vaughn: he's in bad shape anyway
• Glossu: This was pre-arrenged.
• Glossu: They should fined them
• kamalakanta: maybe they are tired....
• alnoth: both naka and carlsen got worn out yesterday... heh
• alnoth: then again, getting a draw against ivanchuk and anand is not a bad result, they will fight for the tournament on other boards... sigh...
