Is this multi-tasking?
When in doubt, type on your head
Sort:
Congratulations Pogonina!!!
You broke through the hypnotizing hand movements of your opponent.
Chessbomb commentary below. Chessbomb is the bomb, amazing site.
Bonifratz: this is gonna be fun, Pogonina will try her hardest
Vladacval: Natalya, do it! 1-0
Vladacval: Deepest sympathy with French people today
Maxim: extremely drawish line, dont understand Pogonina
Vladacval: Slav, Anti-Merran
Bonifratz: maybe she wants to get into a drawn rook and pawn endgame and hypnotize Sebag into a blunder similar to yesterday
Maxim: I believe, in match Gelfand-Anand there was showed how to do draw this almost by force
Maxim: Or I might be mistaken, but looks like it
Vladacval: seems Natalya manged to go off-theory, making opponent surprised
Maxim: yes, time consumption tells, at least, she hasnt looked it up last night:)
Bonifratz: hehe Sebag's hair is getting out of control
Vladacval: I noticed that every russian girl is ahead on time at this moment
AndreyRu: I wish they would all be down in time, but up one point..
Vladacval: its some glitch, she can not be thinking still
bobp55: @Maxim, it's not Pogonina's style to play complex games.
Maxim: Ok, it explains it a bit then )
carlitos_rojos: arghhh
Vladacval: OUGHH!
filoche: que en sacrifice trop Marié !
filoche: queen or quality
ove: I guess Anand didn't play 14..Nxd5.
ostep: 16 moves and done that sebag
Bonifratz: hmmm suddenly a very interesting game
ostep: 1-0
larsan59: Nxd5 when you need just a draw desserve to be punish
bobp55: Not 1-0 yet. Really need Bf4 now. If this is in prep then Pogo should get it.
Bonifratz: I doubt this is still prep by either side, a bit too much thinking for that
bobp55: Looks like you're right.
ostep: coffee house chess here
valmy: Marie has only 17 minutes on the clock?
Bonifratz: official site has the same times
Bonifratz: so it's probably correct
Bonifratz: spent almost an hour on move 13
Korsatsky: Sebag is playing Grischuk mode :)
Bonifratz: only if she spends another 15 minutes on the next move :)
Korsatsky: this Bxd6 looks much sharper
Korsatsky: compared to the first line
Korsatsky: Interesting idea Ne5 for white?
Vladacval: oh no was it spoilt?
Korsatsky: b7 is constantly under attack
xv: that's why black needs to play b6 at some point
Bonifratz: I like the music on the livestream
Fablemn: it isn't music... it's a commentary!!!
Fablemn: lol
Envy: Go, Marie!
Korsatsky: The third line if fire
Bonifratz: I mean during breaks @Fablemn :)
bobp55: Now it's complicated.
Vladacval: f4 please!
bobp55: wrong pawn
Fablemn: @Boni :)
Vladacval: "where's the attack?)))" - Giri twit
Bonifratz: haha
Bonifratz: don't try to ironize Pogonina
bobp55: The more Marie's time ticks down, the better for Natalia.
Vladacval: she does see Qa4 with double attack I'm sure
miaumiau: makes sense
Korsatsky: The temperature is rising in this room :)
Bonifratz: time trouble will kill Sebag
Bonifratz: this is the worst kind of position to have with 10 minutes for 15 moves
bobp55: 4 minutes
bobp55: you're right 10 minutes if you count increment
Bonifratz: yeah that's what I did
poussin: its more difficult to play 10min counting increment than 10 without it
poussin: u just see 4 min and u get more anxious...
bobp55: Off to a meeting. Hope Pogo has this clinched when I get back.
valmy: 15 moves x 30 sec = 7minutes + 4mns 30 = 11mn 30. Short, very short
valmy: 12 minustes
valmy: 48 sec per move...
Korsatsky: exchange is coming
Korsatsky: is Rc2/Rd2 a plan?
Vladacval: Re3 for Rg3, c'mon Natalya
miaumiau: go Marie!
Rizla: serre les fesses Marie !
bobp55: Back for the time scramble.
jib: vazy Marie
Rizla: Marie is in zeitnot every game :(
Vladacval: OMG!
bobp55: Looks like Pogo is going to fall a little short.
valmy: so far marie is doing well, she has nerves, lets see if she makes it to the end of the game
Vladacval: Qxf7 is only chance, to trade Qs and try to win, or its just down the exchange
bobp55: Exchange for 2 pawns
Rizla: 2 very dangerous pawns
Vladacval: ok, first step was correct
Vladacval: this girls with eggs
miaumiau: eggs of steel
JohanKepler: full metal jacket
Vladacval: f3 is unreal, this is golden eggs, Qg6 to be expected
kan: timewise very close now
kan: almost move 40
bobp55: Now have to try to convert the endgame.
miaumiau: hmmm... I have not the slightest idea
Rizla: me neither, is it good to give the d R for B and pawn?
bobp55: White is going to have to fend off checks, protect the f,g pawns, all while trying to advance the a,b pawns
Rizla: let's see their endgame skills
miaumiau: I'd sweat blood as black
Rizla: me too
valmy: Marie doesn't even blink, she has great nerves
Vladacval: because once she blinks, Natalya will disappear at once, like in one American horror
Bonifratz: I think she wouldn't have a problem with Natalya disappearing
valmy: interesting game anyway
Vladacval: dont they have incr. after move 60?
jphamlore: Isn't there also a Doctor Who villain the Weeping Angels where one might need to not close one's eyes?
Vladacval: Natasha vpered! We need 2 russian players in 1/4 final
Non_prodigy: POGO POGO POGO
miaumiau: Tarrasch was a liar :)
Bonifratz: yesterday it was b vs h pawn, today c vs a pawn
Bonifratz: *c vs h
waustad: Yes. The weeping angels camu up a couple of times.
waustad: cmae
Vladacval: h-pawn is embrion, c-pawn's a healthy kid already
waustad: came
jatoch: c6 pawn is princess knowing she will be crowned
jatoch: h6 is just a little kid only dreaming to become a princess
jatoch: niet dan?
kan: grapjurk
JohanKepler: alsdan toch wel ja
Vladacval: its all right, if I compare'em like Putin-Poroshenko I'm afraid it will start the endless non-chess trolling
jatoch: Wat Kan kan kan Kan alleen!
bobp55: Natalia, don't screw this up!
Bonifratz: pretty impossible, but we thought that yesterday as well
JohanKepler: Kon Kan dan wellicht ook
Kramnand: Marie can resign ... tie_break
Bonifratz: after yesterday's play by Pogonina I wouldn't resign this until she has her queen
dumbgai: resign already lol
dumbgai: 1-0
Kramnand: no she has not already resigned
Kramnand: but this is just lost for black
fami: ???
Bonifratz: she only needs to survive 50 moves against K+R
bobp55: Now is resign time.
Bonifratz: Pogonina looks like she wants to crawl underneath the chessboard
Bonifratz: troll award of the day goes to Sebag
Kramnand: marie will have to play a tie_break
valmy: an upset girl can play on for 50 moves
Bonifratz: last move was Ke3, not Ke4
Bonifratz: anyway nice game
bobp55: Finally
This Sebag lady has me intrigued. She pulls out wins and can finish off her opponents.
What is her secret? Her hand movements are hypnotizing.
