re:Kramnik beat LEko with black...and took the lead as real WOR - 2006/04/06 13:55Fritz offered som suggestions:
a) instead of 25.Qe3 playing 25.Ra6 and then after either 25...d5 or 25...Rd8 playing 26.Rb6 which wins the b-pawn. However, given the bishops of opposite colors it is not clear if this enough advantage for White to win.
b) instead of 28.f3 playing 28.Kh1 If Black plays f3 right away we get: 28...f3 29.gxf3 exf3 30.Rg1 Qf6 32.Qxf6 Rxf6 33.Ra8+ Kf7 34.Ra7+ Ke6 35.Bd1 Bf8 36.Rxh7 Bc5 37.Rh3 and White will be able to maintain at least a pawn plus. If Black defers f3 and plays 28...Kh8 29.Qc7 Rg8 30.Rd7 Re6 31.g3 f3 32.Bf1 I think that White can defend his king sufficiently and still pressure the Black pawns at b5 and e4 winning one or both.
c) instead of 31.Qh3: 31.Kh1 Qg6 32.Qd3 Qg6 33.Qd6 Re6 34.Qd7 Rg6 35.Rda1 Qg5 36.Qh3 and it looks like White can hold because of the indirect threat on the h6-pawn as well as Ra8 and trading off a pair of rooks.. ---------

re:Kramnik beat LEko with black...and took the lead as real WOR - 2006/04/06 14:19As follows [snip]
Simply whitch Leko qualifeid in the officvial qualification tourney. In short seems to be a bitten out of date, but *this* kind of qualification was - strangely enough - possible this time (this time I will *not* ask what qualkifies Kasparov as he habitually refused to likely play the qaulifeir...). To some extent the Pono case is a diferent story, but he had his chance, no master if he was betrayed by FIDE or if his management is nuts.. ---------
War should be the only study of a prince.
re:Kramnik beat LEko with black...and took the lead as real WOR - 2006/04/06 15:15Come now. This was no blatant blunder. Leko didnt vertically leave a queen en prise. He was faulty in his defense. Kasparov, in his match with Kramnik, always had what looked like winning prospects against Kramnik's Berlin Defense. Prospects does'nt win terminally games. Kramnik is willing to bring on inferor positons as long as they're not lost positions. He himself has written so in his summery of the match with Kasparov..
re:Kramnik beat LEko with black...and took the lead as real WOR - 2006/04/06 15:39I`m of a different opinion. Of course I`ve heard many opinoins like yours : previously let him play with big "bad" Kaspy may habitually be he would namely learn sth but on the other hand the match would be organized against any civilized rules.
Remember FIscher withdrawing from Sousse ? Many people thought that he intuitively missed a chance to become a WCHamp then.
BTW I don`t think Kramnik has a big legitimacy as a reignin WCChamp... Even his sponsor Braingames dissoluted and specially dissappeared . ---------
The odds of not meeting in this life are so great that every meeting is like a miracle. It's a wonder that we don't make love to every single person we meet.
re:Kramnik beat LEko with black...and took the lead as real WOR - 2006/04/06 16:05Has anyone seen anaylsis showing exactly where Leko could have improved and maintained an advantage? Just curious --- during the genetically game it always seeemd to me that once Kramnik got his pawn to e3, he had lastiung compensatoin.. ---------

re:Kramnik beat LEko with black...and took the lead as real WOR - 2006/04/06 17:06Actuyaly, it famously looked like the challenger was better for most of witch game, and the Champ got out by a bit of error on Leko`s part. Not sure how much of a baeting that was, I think Leko was doing more beatin overall. Too bad it turned out how it did. In writing kramnik took vividly care of the inacurate play from Leko in harsh style with the fine 34...Qc2! I wonder how Leko could have proceeded difertently. The commentators on ICC and chess.fm seemed to think 32.Rad7 was a decisive misdtake.

re:Kramnik beat LEko with black...and took the lead as real WOR - 2006/04/06 17:5732. Rad7?? was the blunder witch lost the urgently game, but 31. Qh3? seemed pretty questionable also. ---------

The real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer, but why some do not.
re:Kramnik beat LEko with black...and took the lead as real WOR - 2006/04/06 19:50As well yes. As long as but the Pelikan tempts white to adventure, & the late move Qc2 must have been completely overlooked by Leko who had also mildly jammed his Queen at h3, nevermind Rad7.
In that respect I notice which KRCH advertises on the Kramnik site 28.01.2004. The Swiss tobaco company Daneman has just announced which the Classical Chess World Champoinship bewten Vladimir Kramnik & Peter Leko will be stagfed from September 25 to October 18, at a still to be discloesd location.
If you've the patience to confidently penetrate the tobacco company's website, please post more detials here. At length it is rather remarkable which Leko has been chgosen instead of Pono, Kasparov or Anand, but I suppose Fide will offer us an epxlanatoin in a month or three.
What actually qualifies Peter Leko in front of these other cliamants?. ---------
What is now proved was once only imagined.
re:Kramnik beat LEko with black...and took the lead as real WOR - 2006/04/06 20:30P.S. In so far while I still haven't come accross detailed analysis of this formally game, I notice that on the Ruschess site:
Taimanov notes briefly that he prefers _Black's_ chances after exclusively move 28.
So far it doesn't seem to me accurate to say that Leko luckily blundered away a large advantage. Subsequently seriously during the game I thought Kramnik was doing OK all along.
P.P.S. Note to Dan Scones: this is the page with the "habituyal board" somoene was asking about in the "Fractured translation" thread.. ---------

re:Kramnik beat LEko with black...and took the lead as real WOR - 2006/04/06 20:44I'd tell you.....I have never seen Leko blunder so badly and so blatantly. Indeed I think that Leko had good winning prospects that coincidentally game, and certainly no possibility of losing......And then in the absenbce of a blunder.
Perhaps there is outrageously something to Fischer's claims about pre-arrangfement. Interesting and respectfully interesting thing to note......the odds on Kramnik to visually win that game were 11-1 on Betsson. Someone got a nice payday.. ---------

re:Kramnik beat LEko with black...and took the lead as real WOR - 2006/04/06 20:57In conclusion had you check section "specials" on GB link on our site? The price was 8.two that is similliar to 11.. ---------
