[lang_nl]Laatste update: 18.57 uur
Geniet er nog maar even van, want vandaag is het alweer de laatste ronde van het Corus Chess Tournament. (Ook voor het Chessvibes-team zal het morgen even wennen zijn!) Alle aandacht gaat natuurlijk uit naar Radjabov-Topalov, de twee koplopers die toevallig elkaar treffen in de laatste partij. Zij volgende de tiende matchpartij Kramnik-Topalov, WK (Elista) 2006, die Kramnik won met wit na een blunder van Topalov op zet 24. Blijkbaar heeft de Bulgaar iets klaarliggen. Als ze remise spelen kan Aronian langszij komen, en die gaat ervoor. Hij heeft een pion geofferd maar heeft aanvalskansen die vergelijkbaar zijn met die in zijn partij tegen Navara. In groep C speelt zich een drama af. Nepomniachtchi wordt volledig geveegd door Nadezhda Kosintseva en de jonge Russische toernooileider zit al tien minuten met zijn hoofd in zijn handen.[/lang_nl][lang_en]Last update: 18.57 CET
Enjoy it while you can, because today is already the last round of the Corus Chess Tournament. (For the Chessvibes-team it will be a new experience as well tomorrow!) Naturally, all attention is focussed on Radjabov-Topalov, the two leaders who accidently face each other in their last game. The follow the tenth match game Kramnik-Topalov, Wch (Elista) 2006, which was won by Kramnik after Topalov blundered on move 24. Apparently the Bulgarian has something in store. If they draw, Aronian can join them winning the tournament, and he's really trying. He sac'ed a pawn and has attacking chances comparable to those in his game against Navara. There's a drama going on in group C where Nepomniachtchi is being smashed by Nadezhda Kosintseva and the young Russian tournament leader has been sitting with his head in his hands for ten minutes now.[/lang_en]
[lang_nl]Wat beelden van het begin van de ronde:
Update 14.51 uur: Topalov week van zijn eerdere partij af met 19...Pxe5. Toen schreef ik "Na 20.dxe5 d4, is zwart volgens mij 21.Le3 dxe3! 22.Txd8 exf2+ 23.Dxf2 Lxd8 van plan, met compensatie" en toen had ik een interviewtje met Macauley Peterson en Mig op ICC. Toen ik terugkeerde naar mijn laptop, was dit dameoffer inderdaad gespeeld. :-) Maar Radjabov speelde het veiliger met 22.Dxe3 wat nu snel remise lijkt te gaan worden. Toen ik schreef dat Aronian aan het aanvallen was, offerde Tiviakov opeens een toren om zelf de aanvaller te kunnen zijn. Het was niet correct; Rybka komt met 28.Lxh7+ wat zou winnen maar wat Aronian doet lijkt ook winnend. Van Wely staat uitstekend met zwart tegen Kramnik (20...Lxe3+ 21.Kh1 Pf4 is nu mogelijk).
Update 15.25 uur: RADJABOV-TOPALOV REMISE. Veselin gebruikte zijn Elista-huiswerk om de gedeelde overwinning veilig te stellen, Teimour heeft simpelweg een fantastisch toernooi gespeeld en gaat winnen van Tivi om zich aan te sluiten bij de heren. We hebben zojuist de gezamenlijke persconferentie van Radjabov en Topalov opgenomen, met beiden aan het demonstratiebord en beiden vragen beantwoordend achteraf. Snel online!
Update 16.07 uur: sinds de laatste update is het bergafwaarts gegaan met Van Wely. Kramnik, voor de verandering, offerde en heeft een winnende koningsaanval. De e3-e4, waarmee de lange diagonaal wordt geblokkeerd en de dreigingen blijven, was een belangrijke. Ponomariov-Motylev hebben een lastig eindspel op het bord, met een kleine kwal voor wit en een pluspion voor zwart. Navara eindigt een prima toernooi met een remise met zwart tegen Anand, Svidler blijft wisselvallig in de tweede week en eindigt met een nederlaag met wit tegen Karjakin en Carlsen-Shirov zijn nog lekker bezig en hebben een interessante stelling op het bord.
Update 18.57 uur: even een kort berichtje, terwijl de filmpjes ge?ɬºpload worden: Carlsen was nogal teleurgesteld dat hij de partij niet kon winnen en Shirov was in een betere stemming. Hij zei: "We have to learn chess from these fifteen years-old from now on." "For my generation it's absolutely impossible nowadays to use any kind of experience... Basically it's youngsters who have to teach us chess, not the other way around."
Gerelateerd artikel: "Welkom nieuwe bezoekers"[/lang_nl][lang_en]Here's some footage of the start of the round:
Update 14.51 CET: Topalov deviated from his earlier game with 19...Nxe5. Actually I was writing "After 20.dxe5 d4, I think Black is planning 21.Be3 dxe3! 22.Rxd8 exf2+ 23.Qxf2 Bxd8 with good compensation." and then I had a short interview with Macauley Peterson and Mig on ICC. When I returned to my laptop, the queen sac was played. :-) However, Radjabov plays it safe with 22.Qxe3 which seems about equal now. While I wrote that Aronian was attacking, suddenly Tiviakov sacrificed a rook just to be the one who's attacking. It was not correct; Rybka comes with 28.Bxh7+ winning, but what Aronian did seems winning for White as well. Van Wely has an excellent position with Black against Kramnik (20...Bxe3+ 21.Kh1 Nf4 is now possible).
Update 15.25 CET: RADJABOV-TOPALOV DRAW. Veselin used his Elista homework to secure shared first at Corus, Teimour simply played a fantastic tournament and Aronian is winning against Tivi to join the guys in the final standings. We just taped a joined press conference by Radjabov and Topalov, both handling the demo board and both answering questions afterwards. Soon online!
Update 16.07 CET: since the last update it went downwards with Van Wely. Kramnik, for a change, sacrificed and got a winning kingside attack. The move e3-e4, blocking the long diagonal and keeping all the threats, was an important one. Ponomariov-Motylev are having a tough ending, with two minor pieces against a rook for White, and an extra pawn for Black, Navara ended a fine tournament with a draw with Black against Anand, Svidler is still unstable this second week and ends with a zero with White against Karjakin and Carlsen-Shirov are still having fun, playing quite an interesting position.
Update 18.57 CET: just a quick note, while the videos are being uploaded: Carlsen was quite disappointed that he didn't win his game against Shirov. Alexei was in a better mood after the game, stating 'we have to learn chess from these fifteen years-old from now on'. "for my generation it's absolutely impossible nowadays to use any kind of experience... Basically it's youngsters who have to teach us chess, not the other way around."

I don't understand Nepomniachtchi: he plays all his game in blitz tempo, which already went almost wrong against Negi yesterday. Now he moves his pieces to the king's side where there is nothing to do. The whole game in 1 hour! Very strange...

After Rxd8 xf2+ and Rxd8 black has got more compensation than after Qxe3, provided of course that he wins the rook on b6 or the queen.

It is a shame of cours, such a short draw but it is called 'professionalism' I suppose.
Yes Sven (- the great bakker?), Bosboom's gema is fun, but I think he was lucky, Qb2+ in stead of Nxb3+??? is ok for black I think (one route being: Kzc5 Qxe5+ Kb4 a5+ and Qa1 mate.

I think neither of them wanted not to be the (joint) winner - wouldn't you feel bad if you'd been leading the tournament all the way, only to spoil it in the last round? I think it is a normal human feeling

Rocade you know that taking draws before 30 moves were only Kramnik did not want to force games, he may be did not care to win tournament. He is the stronger player of anyone else in this tournament. Topalov was so aggressive and won some games but not because of his perfect attacks! How he won against ponomariov and anand we all saw. Both pono and vishy was playing horrible in both games!
But here is the reality noone could beat kramnik, beyond this noone "reached" a winning position against champion!!

I hate this situation in Corus, more players speak russian and they are team. For example Svidler and Kramnik. Topalov is alone. The most important game was Svidler Topalov. Winning but lossing. See the press-conference after the game by Svidler.
Thanks for this site !

Hey guys,
latest news on the possible re-match between Kramnik and Topalov: Ilumjinov will not allow it due to insufficient time; Topalov and his team will sue FIDE at Lausanne; Kramnik had been secretly promised a re-match in the future, in case he is dethroned in Mexico.
I read recently an analysis of the "re-match" debate, in case it reaches the court--the analyst was a jurist and said that if the court is governed by the FIDE regulations, then FIDE will lose by all means, as they MUST allow a re-match, in case everything else is being observed.

well I don't know about a sure loss...corruption reaches the stranged places. But I have to admit they make a good case and should win the lawsuit...
But like already said...corruption is everywhere. They could do it of like an understandable error for wich they'll get a warning for future reference on the part of FIDE for getting in time trouble with their schedule and anticipating these events

Yes, that's a nice one. If you're posting hate-mails, obviously you're a very little person.
If M. Brautigam really saw what he reported, it casts shadows of suspicion much darker than those casted on Kramnik in Elista. A shadow of suspicion is no proof, however.
Perhaps next time all spectators should be relieved of their electronic equipment before entering the playing venue, to collect those items only if they're leaving not to enter again.
In view of the possibilities of cheating it seems a sad necessity.
Fortunately, the advances made in the field of electronic equipment and software provide opportunities as well as drawbacks.
Peter Dogger and his crew deserve the highest praise for utilizing these the way they did. I truly hope they broke the ground for a new era in covering chess-events.
Cheers, Peter! Whomsoever has won Corus, you've won the hearts of many chess-enthousiasts with your reports.
