Dont usually comment on time used but IM Chiku-Ratte is down to 11 minutes on the clock at move 23 in his game against GM Van Foreest. The GM has well over an hour left. The position is simplifying but there are still some road bumps ahead.
Down to three minutes on move 26.
White has the better endgame potential with a passed E-pawn but both kings are poorly placed for endgame play. Black has control of the D-file. Should be interesting what follows.
Did White play too hasty? Looks like Black will soon have a passed A pawn. Very interesting endgame.Last edited by Hans Jung; Monday, 15th July, 2024, 05:04 PM.

GM Vera vs FM Zomorrodian White has a critical weakness on b2, can he survive a queenside collapse? If not we might have our first GM scalp.
White has used over twenty minutes on his clock and is down to two minutes on move 26. He is also a piece down. Turns out Black has to give the piece back but has good compensation. However Black played badly for most of the rest of the game and ended up first losing his queen and then getting checkmated.Last edited by Hans Jung; Monday, 15th July, 2024, 06:39 PM.
