Vlad is back! He has won the Tal Memorial Tournament this month ahead of rivals, Ivanchuk,

Carlsen, Aronian and Anand.

 

 

 

Now that is good news for Kramnik fans.When I looked for this month's update on ChessPublishing.com I was delighted to find his games with Carlsen and Morozevich with deep annotations.The game with Carlsen ended in a fighting draw.

 

 "What does he have up his sleeve, now that he is with Garry?"

  

 

Post-mortem:"Suppose I play this move, what will you do?"

 

 

As for the other game, you are going to see it for yourself.

 

"Where is Vlad?"

 

 

"He has come. We are going to fight!"

"Of course I am ready!"

 

A great performance that shows Kramnik is not a spent force.
What is more important, he has demonstrated how
Black should play these positions against 4.Qc2 Variation.
There is a lot more on this site than this single update shown here.
Surely, it deserves a visit.
 
Postscript:The two rivals met again in the World Blitz Championship,
                 and the game was drawn after a fierce struggle.

Boy the lighting looks so nice there. Not the typical sucky gaming area. Looks like they are playing at home almost.

because after Qxf3, he'd lose all attacking chances, be worse positionally, Qg3 mate is threatened , d5 is covered, etc. whereas if white gives up the rook, it buys him a few turns since there's no way for black to continue attacking immediately after Qxh1

on 33 qf2 why he didnt move qh2 and protect the rook?
