| kellmano: <Davolni> I'm worried we're just waiting for a Ivanchuk resignation. Maybe Danny Gormally will appear and give Lev a smack. |

| WinstonSilcott: Can't he just put the knight on b4? |

| Hesam7: <WinstonSilcott: Can't he just put the knight on b4?> Or first take on b5 then do that. With the bad bishop gone White's winning chance should be really low. |

| Jesspatrick: This is crushing. Black's got nothing better than trying to save his Knight with 54...Nb4 55.f5 Nc6 bug 56.fxg6 fxg6 57.Rf6 is overwhelming. |
|

|
| kellmano: oh yeah. The knight should never have left b4 |

| Davolni: imagine somebody, with no knowledge about chess whatsoever, walking by this acquarium at this time of the day, in a dark street and a glass cage, with lights on... only 2 people sitting and thinking, no talk, nothing.... |

| Marmot PFL: Knight isn't trapped, it's the rook. |

|
| Marmot PFL: Losing isn't so bad for Ivanchuk if he can win tomorrow. The guys who draw them all are the ones that get left behind. |
|

|
| Davolni: Levon is blitzing, probably has calculated everything already.... |
|

|
| Hesam7: And how is that a good thing? To reward W-L more than D-D in a game that is most likely a theoretical draw anyway. |
|

 |
| TheBB: <Marmot PFL> Losing them all is also not a recipe for success, however. |

| crafty: 69. ...  a8 70.  b4 g5 71. hxg5 h4 72. c5  (eval 11.44; depth 19 ply; 200M nodes) |

|
| Marmot PFL: I didn't say it was good, just that it helps streak players more than steady drawing types. Surprised black hasn;t resigned yet. |

 |
| whiteshark: Maybe <52...Bh3> was the last chance to keep the balance... |

Some sort of record, or has <TIMER> done worse? ;-) |

| seagull1756: must be a mistake - both of my tickets won today... |

| whiteshark: An interesting middlegame struggle where Aronian took advantage of the opportunity. Congratulations! |
|
| Sep-05-08 |
| DUS: I think in this game Levon demonstrated the advantage of two Knights! (like the advantage of two Bishops). Congratulations for such nice game!
Even for non professional like me the move Ncb5 was seeming very natural and I was thinking it was the beginning of the end. |
|

| Bobsterman3000: Nice win for the cheap tactician :-) |
|

| clocked: Could black have survived after 53...Bd3 |
