Nice job by Malakhov.
I was looking forward to see how Malakhov would do after 1.e4. And then Svidler trap himself with 1.d4. Svidler is good with 1.e4 – not with 1.d4.
Susan, Malakkhov funny! Im of African descent and cant possibly know anything bout no chess,or win no games vs their top guys cuz dey know so much!UM- JUST A ONE TRICK PONY!!! hahahahaha. Susan, thats the ultra-oldstuff from 15 years ago! hehehe.
What a great game really! Looks so easy!
Strong chess women nowadays.
Ouch. …Qg7 saves the day.
I finally got one of these chess puzzles right.
Great game!
Nice underpromotion at the end to withdraw white’s last fang.
Well, Malakhov did not move his rook and knight from a8 and b8 respectively… so, effectively he won being two figure down 🙂
Susan, after 31…dxe1(N)+, why couldn’t white play 32.Kh2?
