| Jake Erskine: <Catholic Bishop: ok, since the olympiad he's played another 4 games in the chinese league, scoring 2 wins and 2 draws. 2 of the games were rapid though, so streak now: 84> Has he played any more league games since? And will he play any more games before the Elista Grand Prix starts? |

| Catholic Bishop: <Has he played any more league games since? And will he play any more games before the Elista Grand Prix starts?> He's played one more since my last update, a draw with Ni Hua. All 18 rounds are done now. His team (Tianjin) came 4th behind Shanghai Beijing and Hebei. I double checked the records and the pre-olympiad 7-game figure is correct, which means in the end he played 10 rated/classical games in the Chinese League, plus 5 rapids not counting towards his streak. so the official count is 85 now |

| jacqueslaumone: He looks in trouble against Jakovenko now... |

| cannibal: Wang Yue has been thinking for an hour now after Jakovenko's 32.f5. Looks like the streak is coming to an end today. Btw, when playing through the game, I remembered Jakovenko's brilliant win in the Berlin Defense against Alekseev earlier this year, and thought, well he's considered an endgame genius, so maybe he knows something about how to crack the Berlin. So then I looked up his record as white against the Berlin. He lost to Bacrot in 2005, when he was still below 2600. After that, assuming that he'll win this one, his record is +5 -0 =2 (all classical). |

| percyblakeney: I wonder if Wang Yue doesn't have a draw by keeping the king on e8. |
|
Dec-14-08
|
| percyblakeney: But since Rybka online says +1.75 now I suppose Wang Yue's sequence ends today. |

| k0mi: with perfect play I think this is a draw for Wang Yue. |
|
Dec-14-08
 |
| Marmot PFL: I believe he had a draw until 39...c5? (maybe time pressure) Now if he still draws it will be very difficult. |

click for larger viewWhite turns. How do you win this position?! I'm not sure, I think it's a draw. |
|

| unsound: I'd have thought it was won for white--who can mop up the queenside pawns with his king whilst black has to deal with the e-pawn. |
|
| Dec-14-08 |
| unsound: I mean in the position after 41.Kf6 |
|
Dec-14-08
|
| Marmot PFL: It could be the position was lost even without 39...c5. In that case black's whole strategy beginning with the rook trade might be wrong. |
|

|
| k0mi: ok I now see it's lost after e7... |

Wait, what is this?! White to move and how to win?! |

 |
| Karpova: Rybka 3 gives 41...c6 two question marks.

| jacqueslaumone: There may still be chances for Black: if Wang Yue can give his B for the c-pawn, it's a theoretical draw. |
|
Dec-14-08
|
| Karpova: Wang Yue resigned (after 54.Bd2). |
|

| praddy06: Wang Yue the draw master has finally lost winning streak ends @ 82 Tal still holds the record 0f 93

Jakovenko,Dmitry - Wang,Yue [C67]
FIDE Grand Prix Elista Elista (1), 14.12.2008
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nf6 4.0-0 Nxe4 5.d4 Nd6 6.Bxc6 dxc6 7.dxe5 Nf5 8.Qxd8+ Kxd8 9.Nc3 Ke8 10.h3 Be7 11.g4 Nh4 12.Nxh4 Bxh4 13.Rd1 Be7 14.Kg2 h5 15.f3 Be6 16.Ne2 Rd8 17.Be3 a6 18.Nf4 g6 19.Rxd8+ Kxd8 20.Rd1+ Kc8 21.Nxe6 fxe6 22.f4 b5 23.b3 Rh7 24.Bf2 hxg4 25.hxg4 Rh8 26.Rh1 Rxh1 27.Kxh1 Kd7 28.Kg2 Bb4 29.Kf3 Ke8 30.Ke4 Ke7 31.Bh4+ Ke8 32.f5 gxf5+ 33.gxf5 exf5+ 34.Kxf5 Bc3 35.Bf2 Ke7 36.e6 Ke8 37.Bg3 Ba5 38.Be5 Bb6 39.c3 c5 40.c4 Ba5 41.Kf6 c6 42.e7 Be1 43.Ke6 Bh4 44.Kd6 Bxe7+ 45.Kxc6 bxc4 46.bxc4 Kd8 47.Bd6 Bh4 48.Bxc5 Kc8 49.Kb6 a5 50.Kxa5 Kb7 51.Kb5 Bg3 52.a4 Ka8 53.Be3 Bd6 54.Bd2 Kb7 1-0 Jakovenko demonstrates again what an excellent endgame player he is. It's interesting to compare this game with D Jakovenko vs E Alekseev, 2008 from the recent Russian Superfinals. |

| ellenliisbet: I hope chessgames.com will add this game (Jakovenko,Dmitry - Wang,Yue [C67]
FIDE Grand Prix Elista Elista (1), 14.12.2008) to their database |

| arkansaw: wonderful, although it's funny to cheer for his loss here, and with so many sites boycotting Elista |
|
Dec-14-08
|
| Eyal: I don't think any major site is "boycotting" Elista, it just has to share the attention with Pearl Springs, which started a bit earlier... It's a bit funny that <CG> haven't opened a page for this tournament yet, but I'm sure they'll do it presently. |

|
| arkansaw: There must be some hate going on, because I don't recall seeing any reports on the opening ceremony even. susan, chessninja, chessdom, chessgames (and nearly chessvibes), this is too much of a coincidence |
|
| Dec-15-08 |
| shintaro go: It took a Jakovenko to finally halt the Wang Yue express. |
|
| Dec-15-08 |
| Ladolcevita: WangYue said in a report that he didnt concern about this record,he could lose any game,but he would strive for not... |
