SUSAN!!! i just got home , i told yall that boy is gunna be 3000 who du u think UM am HOUDINI!!! hehe. Oh Susan my chess trainer is a guy named Cornelius hes a 1750 player! hehe Ghost no.2 hehe he told me to grade the top guys on their use of the t-board horse so UM givin them a BIG FAT C!!! Just so ya know. nice prep by naka though. hehehe.
In the Poisoned Pawn Variation of the Najdorf the players followed the game Smith-Laznicka from the recent World Open in Philadelphia. Obviously they both knew this game, but Van Wely had annotated it for the forthcoming issue of New In Chess. And in his comments he had indicated that on move 12 Black cannot play 12…Nd7 (the only move is 12…Ng4) because of the continuation 13.Nd5 Qc5 14.Nb3 Qc6 15.Na5 Qc5 16.Nxb7 ‘and Black is lost’. So, did this mean that he automatically went 12…Ng4 as he had advised himself? No, sadly for him it didn’t. For some inexplicable reason he played 12…Nd7 and only after 16.Nxb7 did he begin to think that something had gone seriously wrong. One move later he resigned.
van Wely did not do his homework against Naka!

Actually, he did, but didn’t use it. From http://www.nhchess.com/RoundReport7.html
