Have you annotated them yet? I'm at webmaster@thechessdrum.net. Let me know. I'd like to use the Zaikov on "Fire on Board", a fully annotated game. I'm hoping I can get a FIDE event in 2010 after World Open. I'll have to keep you posted. Kassa,

Its really a joy to have people that care about my chess. Moreover, I look foreword to hopefully having more opportunities to play in fide rated tournaments like this one. A very generous family sponsored my trip to Philadelphia. Anyway, my last round game vs Rodion Rubenchik was probably prettier than the one here and in the following days I'll try to relay the moves to you! Best, Kassa Korley I appreciate the support!

It's a minefield for both, but I think Rxh5 is a bit too ambitious. I remember seeing these moves played in many blitz games and it never seemed to work.

Korley needs to make important decisions about which variation to play based on the depth of his preparation. A Sicillian Dragon can be over 30 moves of theory and then some independent move. Good courage though. In Korley v Smith-a lack of computer-type depth in preparation is showing.That variation is a computer generated minefield.

Played without fear and the retreat Be4 was as classy as the continuation into the endgame. Lovely vision. I like the first game Korley v Zaikov.
