What is your prediction?
Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
V. Kramnik – T. Radjabov
Wow!
I need to pop some corn for this one…
Hey I was playing this game on http://www.ludochess.com and reached a winning position against the computer, but can’t find the winning moves; Can anyone help me?
The position is as follows:
White – Pawns on a4, b3, f7, f2, g3; Qc4; Re1; Bc3; Kg1
Black – Pawns on a7, b7, c5, g7, h7; Qh3; Be7; Rd8; Kf8
White to move. Is it winning at all?
L. van Wely – J. Polgar 1/2
V. Topalov – V. Ivanchuk 0/1
B. Gelfand – L. Aronian 1/2
P. Leko – M. Adams 1/0
M. Carlsen – P. Eljanov 1/0
V. Anand – S. Mamedyarov 1/2
V. Kramnik – T. Radjabov 1/0
Qe4 or e2 Rd7
Qg4
if Rd8 then
Bxg7 Qxg7
Qxg7 Kxg7
Rxe7 Rd1
Kg2 Rb1
Rxb7
and white is up 2 pawns.
c4
f8Q Kxf8
Rxh7 c3
Rc7 Rxb3
Rxa7
Qg4 is not possible. Black queen is on h3.
You can go to http://www.apronus.com/chess/diagram.php to set up the position if you don’t have a computer program to analyse with or if you don’t have a chess board at home.
Is there any place online where I can input a position and have it analyzed by some strong computer instantly, without having to download the software?

This one is for 6 pieces, and is quite good.
Gegga
Kramnik is winning…and Carlsen too!!! 🙂
