Good Chess Lessons 2

"Attacking" or "Check"ing the opponent's king is not the goal of Chess, Checkmate is!

Corus Chess 2008, round 10

Negi won! on Ruijgrok
Here furious attack by opponent, but the kool mind young Indian prodigy Negi won! on his opponent
Watch the opponent sacrified the Queen too, in the attacking combination, like Topalov yesterday (previous posts), but it was not "completely analysed" attack, so had to pay for it!

Here is the game!

Corus Chess 2008, round 10

Carlsen strikes back! winning on Van Wely - went into sole lead!
I felt 35 & 36 moves of Van Wely are somewhat suspicious.

Later there was a fatal attack by Carlsen! and Van Wely resigned.

Here is the game!

Good win by Ivanchuk, his first win in this tournament.
Also he is undeafted till now!

All others drew in A group
