Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Susan check out Kramnik he think he know something now! but the other half of the t-board horse gunna hit’em with a “monkey’s wrench”!!! They think they doin something.
True dat, Lionel!
Shirov 1/2 – Anand 1/2
Yo Lionel, think you could win that with the Black pieces? I think you could, but not with a “gunna” and a monkey wrench—you need to stop rappin’ American and get serious European with some German words that begin with Z… :-). (Written at Move 50.)
The ChessBase analyst here echoes my impression at Move 50, which is that “Lionel” could stand to win by playing 50…f5(!). But after thinking about it a while more, it seems that after 51.exf5+ White does not fall into Zugzwangs after all…
