Notes:

(A) (by Tommy Canning)
Miki effectively going into "What known is the 8-11 loss" when he played 16-20? Although Alex gave him a chance by playing 30-25 later, when 32-27 is the KILLER.
After the saud 30-25... Moiseyewv again gives Borghetti another out ny playing 22-17? then Miki blunders and game over!

(B) (by Tommy Canning)
Allows the Draw. 10. ... 32-27 wins!

(C) (by Tommy Canning)
Draws..., 13. ... 21-17** wins, prior knowledge needed.

(D) (by Tommy Canning)
... and the blunder!

[Danny_Alvarez]

thanks for the analysis Tommy....
this is the infamous blunder....

there were plenty of chances for both sides. Am i right in saying that there were a very high amount of new openings drawn???
I mean theres only 20 ballots and there were quite a few (im hopeless with percentages ) of them.

cheers

At one stage i thought they were playing with a "hard deck" .But the were using the 156 op deck and there was a big percentage of difficult and NEW openings which did surprise me...............there were many wins from these.

Yes, we ended up with several critical openings at key junctures, and even the GAYP openings produced tough games.

[tommyc]

Yes indeed,in fact 8 out of the 40 games played were NEW opening that is 20% ,quite a high number.Plus the Octopus and several critical 9-13 s also.

I still have a few books left on the new openings if anyone is looking one.

[Danny_Alvarez]

Tommy i have just spent a few bucks (for me that was a lot) on a couple of books.... one of them was Alex's book.
Your book is definitely top of my list now.... hopefully i'll get it from my family as a xmas gift, barring that i am already saving for it
cheers

Thanks Danny ill keep that in mind ,it is the first and ONLY book so far, specifically written on the NEW ones so it may be a bit of a collectors item in years to come.It is a top of the range players text book or guide really.

Regardless of that i think Moiseyev won this match on the new ballots as Borghetti was at a big disadvantage in that regard and im assuming he had little or play on them.?

I personally think that Alex won on experience, and experience almost exclusively.... you could almost see Miki absorbing the experience during the match....and i personally think that Miki will be a huge force to be reckoned with in 2 years or less. At the end of the game i thought he played much much better than at the beginning. It will be tough to gather experience for Miki without playing the current crop of top players at least 2 or 3 times a year.

Regardless of what anyone thinks i think that the best player won. (obviously on a 40 game match is hard to invoke much luck) This was probably a wake up call for Alex who has been winning with one hand behind his back up until now.
