[actually it would have to be a TN sequence] For what it's worth, a position search on both ChessBase Megadatabase 2005 and Chess Assistant 5.0 finds nothing like it. The closest game is Andruet-Danailov, France-Bulgaria Team Match, Burgas 1985 (0-1, 24). However, that matched only up to move 9, then diverged with 10.h3 Ne5 11.0-0 Be7 instead of 10.0-0-0 as in this game. Of course, there are many, many games not stored on these databases. >> Here is a very unusual formation by black to activate a counter attack: >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > 11.0-0 Be7 instead of 10.0-0-0 as in this game.

Judith is known for > 'crushing' her opponents.. Yes, in the old Chess Chow magazine she was quoted as saying she had KROWRZHED her opponent, or something of the sort. Both games drawn today. Polgar found just enough counterplay to avoid being ground down by Mamedyarov's bishop pair. In the rook endgame Topalov-Sokolov, Topa made it interesting by allowing Sokolov to go marauding on the queen side. I think that maybe a better try for Sokolov was ...Rc7 rather than ...a5 --- we'll see what the expert commentators say. I was also wondering about ...Ka5 (preventing Rb6) rather than b3.

Larry Tapper makes some interesting comments on the Top-Sok-alov game. I think he might be right, though there are so many possibilities resulting from his suggestions. Is it that players chose those positions to which they are most comforatable? Or that which seem to cause most discomfor to the other player? That is, rather than 'objectively' best move given enough time to calcualte that and all its ramifications? Its also the point that they have quite limited time to play out resultant positions, and players of this calibre might not wish to gamble the result, since they are not named Fischer, Tal, nor as outright pugilistic as Nakamura!

Now, this is a fascinating position, and its hard to judge if white can bust through, or if a perpetual needs be forced by white since the black queen is effectively now a non-combatant for a good number of moves and out of the hot-zone around the black king. The other huge consideration is the respective clock times, J has abt 15 mins and M has 60-some.
