I would have played that sacrifice on f3, it just smells right. I think however I would have played 24....Nc4 and taken the white bishop on b2. Then the queen and knight would have had a free hand on the white kingside.Originally posted by John Coleman View Post
Calugar is a tough as nails calculator and a good defender.Comment

Rd3 Beautiful game by Zach Dukic.Comment

Rd 3 Nice finish by N.N. (Nikolay)
Also nice finish by Dorian Kang.Comment

Rd 4 Another powerful display by GM Sambuev.Comment

What happened in the game Mendes - Kang?Comment

Round 4 - either chess-results is wrong, or the labelling of the DGT boards is wrong. Yang-Sambuev and Chilu-Ratte - Dukic on chess-results; Chiku-Ratte - Sambuev and Yang-Dukic on the DGT boards. I think chess-results is correct.Comment

Rd4 Ian Findlay - nice resourceful defence and turnaround.Comment
-
Rd 4 Mahip Singh - nice endgame to play - the knight did amazing things.Comment

Is theere going to be a DGT board for Salim vs Aris this morning?Comment
-
Maybe they will agree to a draw and then have a contest to see who tells the best stories.Comment

Rd 5 Interesting game this morning Ian Findlay - Aaron Mendes. Seems the wily veteran has cooked up an interesting exchange sacrifice.Comment
-
Rd 5 On two adjacent DGT boards players sacrificed their queens for two minor pieces. Must be something in the water. Or extra inspiration trying to win.
A stalemate try on board one artfully rejected.Last edited by Hans Jung; Monday, 4 September, 2023, 12:20 PM.Comment

Wow, 'crazy rook' sac in Sambuev Calugar. I'm not super sure it would work, I had no time to calculate before Sambuev declined, and Calugar resigned after the next move.Comment

Zach Dukic what an incredible effort!!! My hats off to you. You are the man. (I'd even pay for that kind of entertainment.) Zach - you are THE ENTERTAINER!
