Congratulations for your victorie...Hello Alexandra. Congratulations for your victories against super GM Anand, Carlsen, Grishuk, Aronian. I must have dreamt, but no, here are the videos...<br />Do you use female weapons to blind your rivals ?<br />Indeed, Grishuk was out of his subject, on an other planet perhaps...<br />And in your play against Carlsen, 40.c4 was not very good (!), but you saw how to exploit the position. Not very easy in blitz.<br />Go on, Alexandra !<br />François, Toulouse, France.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042996779792668316.post-89833148567953591402009-11-29T07:53:14.680-05:002009-11-29T07:53:14.680-05:00Great game Alexandra.

The gentleman thought that the backward pawn (c6) would be a hindrance, but it was beautiful how you handled that by finally opening the b file with both Rooks (41...Rxb3 and it was possible for you to either win a Rook or a Queen. The Queen couldn't handle protecting all of those Rooks and the King.) The initiative for the attack belonged to you, while your opponent had his Rooks still stuck behind his pawns in defensive positions. Beautiful play! :-)Robertnoreply@blogger.com
