Forget about Zhou doing okay. Adams looks to be better. The pressure on d7 will increase.

Does Yang-Fan have any counterplay down the long diagonal if he can play ..Bb7 and ..c5 along with ..Rg8? Has a slightly hypermodern look. Not sure where the Black King goes, though. Presumably to b8, if he has time.

I assume Gordon is going to lose his game on the clock and never mind the board.

Yay! Action on the commentary?

Well, it's a start. Dave Clayton has appeared. So things are looking better than they were.

Clearly technical problems they are trying to resolve

Adams may well win but I actually think Yang-Fan is at least equal here. It's going to be very interesting.

Has anybody got any opinions as to how and when Adams' apparently strong position yesterday turned into a draw?

Off we go!

Tsk. The live board is showing Zhou as an FM. I noticed one of the live boards the other day was also giving an incorrect score for one of the players on the live boards. Clearly the data is not ported across but re-entered manually (with the inevitable errors).

Gordon - Short 17....g5 The game begins, I like Short's tactics and I fancy his chances of winning this one.

Is YFZ just quite a bit better here?

I don't quite understand Adams' h4 but look at the coloured square the Black pawns are on and consider what colour both sides' Bishop is.

Christopher Kreuzer · Post by **Christopher Kreuzer** » Fri Aug 05, 2011 4:48 pm

What if the bishops come off? Is 23...Ba6 possible?

Matthew Turner · Post by **Matthew Turner** » Fri Aug 05, 2011 4:50 pm

That might be easier said than done I am not sure if c3 causes a problem after Ba6
