Re: Toronto International July 15-20, 2012

[QUOTE=Erwin Casareno;53263]3rd round July 16, 2012.
I visited .....

5th round July 18, 2012

I went to the Annex Chess club to see the drama unfold in the 5th round of the Toronto International. On my way in, I greeted the famous Mario in the blog of Bob Amstrong. Also Mikhail Egorov - the famous chess teacher from the Hamilton chess club.
The board 1 encounter between GM Wesley So and upcoming GM Razvan Preuto is a tight battle, emanating from the lines similar to a Sicilian Dragon. What came to my mind was the first game draw of Wesley in the 2012 World Open in Philadelphia, where he was held to a draw as White. Knwoing that Razvan is coached by ME, I tried to confirm that team Preuto prepared the SIcilian Dragon for this game with Wesley. ME corrected me, stating it is actually an Accelrated Dragon. From the position on the board, Wesley is weaving a queen trap but the young Razvan is fighting like a tiger on the queenside. The question i ask is: Will Wesley be able to ensnare the black queen?

On board 2 is the raging battle between Toronto's great IMs - IM Noritsyn and IM Samsonkin. The question i ask in this game is: how will Nikolay get compensation for the c4 pawn that he gave away?

On board 3, IM Calugar was successful in trapping the queen of ISR master Birarov. And without the black queen, it is just the kicking that is left. Jennifer Shahadi will not be happy with this.

On board 4, I was surprised to see WCM Jackie Peng (2.0) pitting talents with GM Sambuev (2.5). How could this pairing be when there are other 2.5 pointers available? Could be for norm purposes? In a French defense, the GM broke through the kingside with a mini pawn storm and could well be in sight of the point.

This is all i can share for the 45 minutes i stayed on site.
